#wipwednesday! off on the ol' post-me3 angst pain train with #shakarian. something about the intimacy of being a person again and being seen at your most vulnerable, in giving them the power to hurt you and trusting that they won't. so garrus washes her hair.

#wipwednesday! back to #shakarian and the party rockers on the citadel. this bit was originally supposed to be like two lines to serve as a transition and yet here we are. 'garrus doesn't get handsy' meanwhile there's the live drunk javik reaction when he watches shepard grab at him

#wipwednesday! more #shakarian in the me3 reunion; turns out there are a lot more emotions than they thought this would entail

#wipwednesday! me3 shakarian. shepard is allowed to get into her feelings briefly during their reunion before she has... something else to focus on.

#wipwednesday! technically #shakarian and wip number [redacted]. no one is happy to see anyone. we'll see if this actually develops into anything substantial.

#wipwednesday! more #shakarian with a brief pause on the reunion fic; shepard invited garrus up to her cabin and he's about to pass out standing up. being an advisor is taking a toll on him. (this ends up being a lot more lighthearted and domestic though)

screenshot of a summary of a mass effect fanfiction on archive of our own. text says triptych. thychesters Chapter 3: Jane “Shuttle away,” EDI informs the ship as a whole. He can’t remember mention of a new mission, and there hadn’t been any calls for anyone to suit up. The air in CIC is tense, but the most he gets is a few nods of acknowledgements as he crosses it. “Where—?” he starts. Joker’s silent at the helm, which is more unnerving that anything. “Commander Shepard is currently groundside on Alchera investigating the wreckage of the former SSV Normandy,” EDI chimes. Joker’s breathing hitches and his shoulders raise toward his ears. He stares at the blank expanse of windows, at the stars gleaming back at them, and Garrus quickly filters through six different emotions before settling on, “What the hell? And she went alone?” “She claimed that this was something best done on her own. She also informed me that she would likely be gone for a while and to keep her correspondence to a minimum.”

screenshot of a summary of a mass effect fanfiction on archive of our own. text says triptych. thychesters Chapter 2: Shepard “Dammit!” he hisses, popping in a new thermal clip as the other clatters to the ground, steaming just as the merc. who popped him falls out of his sights in a spray of blood and brain matter and heavy thump of a missile launcher. His visor catches the distance between him and a vorcha and he’s about to pull the trigger when suddenly it’s airborne in a wave of biotics. “Garrus!” “Stay down, you bastard!” Jack roars over a spray of gunfire. He adjusts his shoulder as his shields flicker back to life in a glimmer of blue static. Once it settles he rolls his shoulder and grunts at the pain that crawls up his neck into his jaw. It pisses him off more than it hurts—and even with his pauldron taking the brunt of the blow it’s going to be sore for a few days. “Vakarian!” Shepard yells again, her voice in his ear, in his head, and then the patter of her assault rifle dropping another merc. It’s a little more brutal than her usual tactics.

screenshot of a summary of a mass effect fanfiction on archive of our own. text says Shepard smiles but something about it feels off, like she’s tired but no amount of sleep will help. The scars crisscrossing her cheek betray that, and it makes his own sting. The look on her face is gentle, something reserved just for the low lighting of the late hours. A trill she can’t hear vibrates in his chest. It’s good to have her back, even if there’s still a dissonance lingering because he spent the last two years mourning her and coming to terms with that, only for her to come blasting back into his life, as is her style. “I missed you, Garrus,” she says. “That's so weird to say; I feel like it’s only been a few weeks, but… It’s like I went to sleep for a while and when I woke up everything was different.” “Yeah,” he mutters. “Guess that’s taking some getting used to.” Shepard must relearn her place in a galaxy that spent two years moving on and living without her; Garrus finds there are three women he must relearn: the Commander, Shepard, and Jane.
