All my Shakarian fics - a masterpost

Crossing A Line - First Contact War Shakarian AU: Garrus finds a wounded human soldier and tries to nurse her back to health. It’s only 4 short chapters, but I love it nonetheless.

Behind Closed Doors - sequel to Crossing A Line. Shepard and Garrus being a couple for 27 chapters straight. There’s an overarching plot, but it’s mostly fluff. And also angst.

Edge of Yesterday - Shepard survives after ME3 but her memories since Cerberus revived her are gone. And Garrus is still in love with her.

Tomorrow's Light - a kinda-sorta sequel to Edge of Yesterday; a longform take on post-canon domestic Shakarian still struggling with their trauma.

one-shots:

Snipers - Shepard watches Garrus sleep and realises how much he trusts her.

Lullaby - Shepard can’t sleep, so Garrus decides to abandon all of his dignity and sing her a lullaby.

Beauty is Merciless - after getting the missile, Garrus realizes he's not pretty anymore.

i’ve been looking for incredibles, the meanings of unbelievable - Shepard has trauma responses and accidentally punches Garrus during a panic attack.

i even hope for tragedies (if it goes with the thrill) - Shepard throws herself into danger with little regard for her safety. Garrus notices. Takes place almost immediately after the end of ME2, when their relationship is very new and they’re still figuring it out.

but then you were standing in front of my door - Shepard and Garrus get stuck on an empty ship, without their translators. There is a universal language, but Shepard doesn’t know it very well…

with every piece in your hand that i could ask for - Garrus looking back on his relationship with Shepard over the course of the trilogy, completely smitten, as he is with her.

This probably makes me cringe because this is OCposting but I'm thinking of Marta again especially in regards to her professional success/experience. Thinking if she picked up a lot of turian mannerisms and habits just by way of exposure, and thinking about how that helped her connect more easily with her patients even if she didn't realise it? I'm absolutely fucking insane. Marta, who was so determined to heal and to connect, unconsciously forging that connection through a miriad of tiny gestured she'd picked up from various people over the years. Thinking about how it was only through that experience, through all the turians (and sometimes also people of other species) she helped, she grew and became more suited to this very particular specialisation in her job... She got better at helping people with every person she helped. I'm. It's late and I know I'm tipsy and not coherent but Marta means a lot to me

This shouldn't be a controversial opinion but oh my god. Mods aren't canon. Even the "immersive" mods. This is essentially fanfic patched into the game. Mods are not canon.

#wild rambles#im gonna be fr with yall. if you are basing your character analysis on mod content then it's just headcanon#i mean i guess some mods that restore cut content from the game (look at the danse dilemma mod from fallout 4) are in a grey area. but this#still isn't canon for the game!

[inhales] i wonder if garrus never outright said "i love you" to shepard because he always expects the worst and feels nothing goes right for him and him saying that will sabotage it somehow and that's why it's the last thing he says to shepard when she's making him leave because in that moment leaving her to an unknown fate that's likely death is worst case scenario send tweet

#i mean yeah definitely#the moment he says it it becomes a real thing that can go as badly as everything else has. and he can't do that to her. so he won't say it.

"READ MY DNI" no. use your block button like an adult. i'm not scrolling through the many-paragraphs-long pinned posts of every blog i reblog something from. if you insist certain types of people aren't welcome in the notes of your posts then it's your responsibility to curate that. or choose a closed social media platform like facebook or instagram. or go and live in a barn away from humanity if you really don't like sharing the world with people who are different from you

I think that DNIs are a really clear example of the backwards understanding of boundaries that a lot of people have. Some people think it works like: "My boundary is that YOU can't do this thing I don't like"

When really it's more like: "My boundary is that if you do this thing that I've told you I don't like then I will remove myself from the situation"

The former does not work. The latter is more effective, it takes responsibility for yourself, and also it puts the power over your wellbeing into your hands and not in the hands of strangers who may or may not be malicious.

#this is exactly why i block liberally#it's my job to curate my online experience and by god im gonna do it
