So this story has been running through my mind recently, as much as I love the Shepard/Garrus romance, I wanted to see a little more interaction with each other. I guess this all happens off screen, so that is why I can interpret it as I like. With the use of their Omni-tool, I imagine it's like modern day texting. I mean Shepard wouldn't walk around the ship ALL the time to talk to her crew, right..? [lets just nod and go with my idea for a moment lol] So here is the missing letters, I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: No these aren't my characters, but this is an original story done by me.


.The Missing Letters.

To: Garrus V. (My best friend)

From: Shepard (Your worried Commander)

Subject: Avoiding me still?

Garrus it has been over 2 night cycles since you last spoke to me, or even looked me in the eye. Every time I stop by the main battery you've locked the door (and I know it's because you want to keep me out) but I'm worried Batman, I really am.

If I had thought for one second that killing Sidonis in the state he was in would bring you any comfort for the losses you have had, I would never have hesitated. But you are a good man who does good things; I don't want you living with that, vengeance is never worth it. (Doctor Saleon was another example my friend.)

So be mad for a while, but I'm stopping by tomorrow and I'm going to hack that door (I'm a damn good Engineer big guy, don't think that weak encryption code you've got on it will keep me out for long). I respect your privacy, but I'm really starting to miss my kickass turian buddy aka Archangel.

-Evangeline Shepard


To: Shepard (Interfering friend and CO)

From: Garrus V. (Still your friend despite it all...)

Subject: Male pride, licking old wounds and needing space.

Commander,

I understand that you are worried, and after all that we have been through this is just another to chalk up the FUBAR list of shit. After lusting for so long for vengeance you must understand that it's hard for me to let it go. The lives of my men demanded that I took care of the situation for they were the only ones to keep me sane when you died. My work on Omega meant something; it felt like I was actually making a difference to that piss-hole asteroid.

That broken shell of Sidonis we saw didn't change how dark my thoughts were of him, how I wanted to see that bullet pass between his eyes and feel the relief that one more piece of scum was wiped out of this universe... But you stepped in front, and honestly Shepard I felt my heart leap into my throat. I've been so worried about losing you again, and there you were defending someone who wasn't really worth your attention. I kept him alive for you, to save you. Seeing you down the scope of my gun is not something I ever want to repeat, promise you won't do that again?

I'll be over this soon, I'm not angry at you my friend. (What is this "Batman" you speak of? Shepard, turians descend from birds, not bats.) I know what your hacking skills are like; I've worked side-by-side with you for years now. But you forget that I'm more than just a pretty face, well, one side is pretty anyway... (Your comment made me laugh anyway, and ouch my face is paying for it now.)

-Garrus Vakarian (It's just Garrus to you, we've had this conversation before remember?)


To: Garrus V. (Still the prettiest turian on this ship)

From: Shepard (Your partner in crime, CO, Queen if you are feeling dramatic.)

Subject: Batman movie night!

I understand Garrus, if anyone would know what you are going through, it's me. I never thought of the consequences of standing before him, or how it must have made you feel... Being "dead" at least I had peace and I didn't know of the pain I left behind. I wish I had been brought back faster (or not have died at all would have been great, but hey I can't have it all.) I would have saved you from being a vigilante (not that it wasn't a worthwhile cause, but I can't help but notice that you have hardened because of it.)

But I have to believe that everything happens for a reason. I'm not religious, but the idea of fate, karma... With everything we have seen (and have yet to see, I'm sure the nightmare is far from over) I need to feel that something good will come of this all. If it hadn't have been for Saren, I don't know if we would have crossed paths in this big wide galaxy. (Huh, who would have thought that I would be thanking Saren for anything?) Your continued friendship means more than anything, I would gladly lay down my life to save yours (and that is what I did by standing in front of Sidonis; I saved the heart of you Garrus, you have to accept the truth of that.)

Now, this is all very weighty stuff "just Garrus" for us to be having over email. How about you release yourself from your encrypted cage and pry yourself from your beloved "calibrations" then join me for some classic movie time? It's about time I taught you about Batman, I'm sure you'll see the irony in there somewhere.

-Evangeline


To: Shepard (Quoting Aria huh? Is that some dig at my stint on Omega?)

From: Garrus V. (The ONLY turian aboard this ship)

Subject: One moment, in the middle of Calibrations.

Saren just sped up the process, I'm sure the fates were pushing us towards each other Shepard. I mean, every kickass commander needs an ex-vigilante turian as their second and fighting double. (Though seriously I'm just thankful that you made me see sense to leave my job at C-Sec; That was no life for this turian bad-boy. Hardly any excuse to use my beloved Mantis, the poor girl was just laying neglected in a display case in my apartment. Can you imagine that Shepard?)

Honestly never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would be living the life I live. That my closest friends would be a human, krogan & quarian (I mean really, Wrex is totally a bro... Right? You do believe I'll be safe on Tuchanka Commander? I mean I don't want to have to be running from thresher maws or crazy krogan leaders that want to kill us just "because".)

Shepard, if only you was a turian. I mean the skills you possess would have you climbing the Hierarchy in no time; I'm inclined to believe you would have made an excellent Primark. (I'm not just saying that because you are my CO.)

Now bare with me one moment, this firing algorithm will not best me! As soon as I am done with my calibrations, I will join you for my education in all things human. (You know, I'm going to bring around the first season of First Contact Wars, it really is a captivating show. Or you can charm your way to an early release copy of the new Blasto movie that just came out!)

-This is "just Garrus", signing off.
