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. His feelings regarding his crewmate and friend, Lieutenant Jane Shepard, however, weren't as clear cut. She'd taken up residence in his head and wouldn't leave. Parallel AU, Part 1 Complete

Some short one-shots to expand on the world of E&D, posted whenever I'm feeling creative.

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).

When these two empires collide, mountains will shake, stars will burst, and the galaxy will never be the same again.

It's been years since the Reaper War ended. The threat is over and all is well. Right? ...Right? Well here I am again. Couldn't stay away. I reckon a part of me will always dwell with these people and this galaxy and frankly, that ain't so bad. For those who haven't read Resolve this may not make much sense, so I recommend you start there.
