What if you have to be cast into darkness in order to find the light? When the Harbinger of a relentless army looms just beyond the Horizon and the world is on the brink of war, it is up to a broken hero and a fallen Archangel to turn the tides. Except they are not what they used to be.. Driven by action, blood and ungodly sarcasm; M for language & sexy scenes. Uh wait. That's smut

AU. Shepard and Garrus in a relationship from the start with lots of romantic sparkles and sex! Garrus's POV, new conspiracies, new enemies and cameos from our favorite TV shows. Come for the smut and stay for the story. Someone said my summary "hides this incredible, magnificent story within", so see for yourself. Will update soon and will get finished.

Shepard doesn't really have friendships. What happens when she meets Nihlus a night early, and he gets under her skin? He sets off a chain reaction. Re-uploaded to fix grammar and clarity issues. Please review!
