Garrus' thoughts and feelings regarding Commander John Shepard were easy to understand and explain: He respected and admired the human Spectre and would follow him into hell in a heartbeat.

Mass Effection: The Starboard Observation Deck by HappyMistake reviews
Humans were unpredictable. Vicious. Bullies. At least, that was what Liara heard. Now she witnessed with her own eyes that nothing could be further from the truth, making it a habit to come to the Starboard Observation Deck to watch the Commander build models of frigates and dreadnoughts. (Characters portrayed here are unrelated to my "Phantom Pain" main story. Cross-posted on AO3)

Night and Day: Akuze to Earth and Back Again by masterofziltch reviews
FemShep's investigation of Cerberus' nefarious activities, while she struggles with questions about her own identity. This story is not super canon-y, but it fits with the story, especially if you aren't too personally attached to your version of the characters. It aims to fill in the gaps and is told from Ash's POV. Rated T for blood-curdling swears. FemShep/Ashley (slowest burn).
