Prompt: FFN's got a few postwar fics where some Geth get femcurious or just decide to blend in with organics, and they adopt a quarian girl's voice & personality. Which to me sounds perfect for a prompt.

So let's have it - a male quarian (Kal'Reegar? Veetor?) meeting a female-programmed geth while stuck on Earth, and after some initial anger and other reservations, they form a relationship.
Emotionally, that is - I don't think the Kinkmeme's ready for a fembot lemon just yet...


RANNOCH, 1895 CE

She had been hiding these units for months now and yet the fighting had not ceased. She shook her head, the Geth had done nothing wrong and yet her people hunted them relentlessly.

She knew that if the Geth truly wanted to fight then her people would be little more than legend already, so she had taken to sheltering whatever units she could, along with some other "Geth sympathisers" as they had been called. Of course she sympathised with them, the Quarians created them, gave them sentience and now they wanted to kill them, all because they asked a damn question.

"Bosh'tets!" she all but growled.

"Creator Danna?" She jumped and turned to face the Geth, unit 0402, she hadn't even heard it come in.

"What have we done wrong?" She knew the Geth were confused, she had heard this same questions from many of them and the answer was always the same.

"Nothing" she sighed. "It is we who have wronged you".

Its optic cover closed a fraction as its face plates shifted, a soft whirring could be heard as it thought on what she had said and after a few minutes, "We do not understand", they never did. The Geth seemed more like children than killing machines and that made her sick to think about, they were essentially killing their children and only a handful of her people opposed this stupid war.

"I'm so sorry" She whispered. This war had no happy ending, they'd either be remembered as the monsters who created a species just to commit genocide or they would cease to exist.

The unit stepped towards her and after a moment of hesitation it put a hand on her shoulder. Tears started to run down her face then, her people were trying to kill them and this unit was trying to comfort her. She knew it was knew stupid, knew the unit wouldn't understand but she couldn't help it, she pulled the Geth into an embrace as she began to cry harder. They stayed that way for what seemed like forever as she worked to get herself under control again.

"We will surrender our hardware if it ends Creator hostilities"

She pulled away then, anger surging through her, "They will not stop until all of you are dead! Don't you get that?"

The soft whirring resumed but before it could say anything the door to their hideout burst opening, shouts ringing out seconds later.

"Tasi'Danna!" A young Quarian, no more than 23, ran into the room, he stopped in front of her, doubled over and breathing hard.

"What is it, Daro?" She had a feeling she already knew.

"Their coming" He breathed out "It wont be long now".

Dammit, she had foolishly hoped this day would never come. She ran to the weapons locker on the far side of the room and pulled out a shotgun and a pistol.

"Take this and get the Geth out of here" She handed him the pistol and walked to the door to begin barricading it.

"What about you?" He sounded panicked. He was just a kid himself, she couldn't imagine how hard this had been on him.

"I will hold them off here, take the back door out, stay on the path I showed you and do not stop until you find another safe house, am I clear?"

"but.."

"Just go!" She tried to smile but it was forced, "I will be fine". He nodded, tears welling up in his eyes, and started toward the rear exit.

Unit 0402 stepped towards her, "We will stay with you".

"No, they will kill you".

"We wish to prevent the deaths of more Creators"

"You can't stop it now" She almost began crying again, after everything the Quarians had done to them, some Geth would still lay down their lives to protect them.

"Please.." She put a hand on the units shoulder, as it had done for her before, "Go with Daro, he will keep you safe".

The unit whirred frantically for a few seconds. "Acknowledged".

She watched them leave then camped behind a table that she had turned on it's side, clutching her shotgun to her chest as she heard the enforcers enter the safe house.

"Ancestors..." They were just beyond the door now "Protect them".


Authors notes: The Geths name, Unit 0402, is because it was the 402nd Geth given a mobile platform. I got this idea from the clips you see in the Geth consensus in ME3, when one of the Quarians refers to a unit as "01". This is only my third story ever written, so Reviews are very much appreciated and constructive criticism is welcome, how else will I learn?
