She'd earned a rest, hadn't she? Her heavy lids closed for what Sarah Shepard was certain was the last time, and, in that brief moment, she welcomed it. 'Come back to me." Romance and fluff heavy despite some bleaker portions.

When Akksul saved Ryder from being kidnapped by Talon wing, he never expected that he'd end up locked up in the middle of a super charged sandstorm with the most irritatingly smug alien he had ever known. And still...he doesnt entirely hate the idea of it. Sex will probably happen.

He's a Turian with unflinching aim, but he can't go on any more without a certain Spectre by his side- and vice versa

A mostly canon-compliant, somewhat abbreviated, definitely self-indulgent re-telling of Mass Effect 2 from Garrus' perspective. As a Spacer Sole Survivor, it was always hard for my Shepard to swallow working for Cerberus in any capacity. Maybe TOO canon-compliant, with lots of dialogue from the game. Some additional scenes, some minor romance deviations to increase DRAMA. ;)
