Summary
Garrus dies on Earth.
Killed by a banshee that was aiming for Shepard. It should have ended there.
But instead, he wakes back up on Omega. No wounds, no scars, and very much alive. The reapers haven’t arrived yet, the galaxy isn’t at war and Shepard is still alive. No one seems to remember anything.
Except for him.
Each time he dies, he resets to the same point, with nothing but his memories and a splitting headache. He tries to figure out how to break the cycle, even escape it entirely. But there is no remorse, only the same outcome every time

Summary
Amidst the chaos of the Reaper War, Garrus and Shepard take the simplest legal step to solve one of Shepard’s problems: having no next of kin. A quiet registry office marriage. No fanfare, just enough to satisfy the bureaucracy.
They want no fuss. No photos, no suits, just one witness. So naturally, the entire Normandy knows.
Set during Mass Effect 3.

Summary
Eventually, he stops dead in the middle of the room, turns to Shepard, and just says it: “I don’t know if I did the right thing.”
Shepard stands and comes over to lean heavily against Garrus’s chest. She’s heavy and warm and trusts him implicitly. “You did,” she murmurs. “You showed him mercy. That’s always the right choice.”
Garrus sighs. “I… I’ll choose to believe you, Shepard.”
Do humans… know anything about turian affection? Probably not. So maybe… maybe… fuck it. She’s his best friend. He fell apart without her. She’s trusted him since the beginning. Garrus bends his neck and presses his forehead to Shepard’s. Immediately, he can feel himself relax, like a child cuddling their parent; this is safe. This is good. Shepard is trustworthy.
If she says it was the right choice, then it must be.
Two tired soldiers cling to each other amidst the swelling dread of the coming Reapers, and Garrus keeps forgetting to wash this blanket that smells like Shepard. Oh well, he IS very busy, lately.

Bookmarker's Notes
Very few writers view their relationship in the same way I do. This is one of them.
