Action conspiracy thriller set between Mass Effect 1 & 2. Deep, fun & complex OCs galore, most carried over from my first story. Fast-paced, action-packed and filled with canon side characters taking full advantage of ME's rich universe. A little bit of angst/trauma. Some bloody but not gory violence, a little foul language and some seduction & romance. Full synopsis in my bio.

This story will feature male Shepard and Miranda Romance however they meet long before the events of mass effect 2, this story will also feature Mass Effect Two and Three. While there will be action this story will mainly focus on the Romance and Friendship of Mass Effect. This will be AU from the main storyline and changes made to Shepard

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.
