When Shepard is abducted by agents of the Shadow Broker, Garrus must unite members of the old Normandy with those of the new in order to pull off a rescue mission.

"Primarch Vakarian? Uh, sir? I'm here to ask you about Commander Shepard." Shepard/Vakarian.

This is my version of life on the Normandy between missions. Spoilers abound! Primary focus is on the relationship between Shepard and Kaidan.

This story explores the events in "For Such Loss, Abundant Recompense" from Thane's POV. You probably ought to read "For Such Loss..." first.

If the Normandy's crew knew what they were in for, they would have stepped back to wonder if they were in the wrong line of work. But when serving with a crew like this, it's not all bad news, all the time. Snapshots of Mass Effect in 1000-word vignettes. (Cover images all belong to Bioware. As with Mass Effect itself, I'm just borrowing them and giving credit where it's due.)

And here we have a series of scenes exploring different facets of a developing relationship between FemShep and Thane. It's not love at first sight for these two, and like any two people they have to work at understanding each other.
