Summary
“The first words they say to you are tattooed somewhere on your body.” Shepard explained.
Garrus blinked, his subvocals pitching in disbelief. “That’s… so inefficient.”
“Alright, how do Turians find their soulmates?” She demanded.

"In the quiet moments between battles, he would catch himself going into those forbidden if-onlys. If only they hadn't been on opposite sides of a conflict that seemed to grow more insurmountable with each passing year. If only he could forget the feel of her skin, the sound of her laughter, the way her eyes would light up when she spoke about her blue skies.
But he couldn't forget, just as he could never see her again. He had no choice but to press on, because that's what a good turian would do. And he clung to the hope that somehow, someday, he might find his way back to that turian…"

A re-imagination of "It Runs In the Family", hopefully with better writing and a more intriguing plot surrounding the adventures of the famous couple's three unusual daughters. More emotional turmoil and relationship woes between Femshep and Liara, Aethyta's swearing and inappropriate comments, Aria's smugness, and a galaxy gone completely insane.

Summary
This will contain short one shots I've written based on prompts and ships sent to me. I will add more characters and tags as I go along. Each chapter is its own story, the first chapter is the table of contents. This is marked completed because technically it is, but at the same time, it will probably never be completed as new stories can pop up any time, so be sure to check back occasionally for new chapters. :)
