    vakarian: Well

    vakarian: I don’t want to alarm you

    vakarian: But I’ve already received them from three different people

    Summary

    Her own personal Noverian peak. That’s what it was supposed to be. Nothing but the discovery: no distractions, no comfort, no windows looking out—no familiar faces. But it's starting to look like her winning streak might have ended in that pile of Citadel rubble, if it ever extended that far to begin with.

    In which Shepard doesn’t want to be found, and Garrus, of course, has other ideas.

    ────
    One polished pauldron bobs. “How does the Earth idiom go? No use beating a dead—” A long-suffering sigh. “What was it again?”

    “A dead horse. And yet, you’re here. Beating it.”

    Pot, kettle. She wishes he’d just fucking say it.

    Summary

    Garrus and Shepard never talked about what would happen between them if they survived the Collector Base. And yet here they find themselves, alive and rather unsure of how to proceed.

    Against the backdrop of the DLC content of Mass Effect 2, Garrus Vakarian and Andrea Shepard attempt to plan for a future they never thought they'd see, even while haunted by the pasts they'd tried to leave behind.

    So much stands in the way: rank, duty, family, and more than a few scars. What chance does this casual cross-species liaison have in the face of such opposition?

    (This is a sequel to "Practice," but can be read as a stand-alone.)

    Summary

    A woman, not alive and not dead, stands at the end of a road of compromises in an underworld written in the quantum qubits of a machine god’s mind. The stars spin overhead, too large and too close, kaleidoscoping colors she didn’t know existed before. They speak with the voices of aeons. Chaos and order exist in oppositional states, they say. There can be no peace without control.

    She's about to prove them wrong. (Post ME-3 Control Ending).
