    Summary

    Garrus leaves the estate on a mission that forces distance between them just when distance has become dangerous in a new way.
    Shepard remains behind with Solana, Vyris, and the unbearable aftermath of what she chose at dinner. The house is still a prison, the inhibitor is still around her throat, and the war is still waiting beyond the sea — but the lines inside the estate have begun to change. Solana becomes something dangerously close to a friend. Vyris becomes an unwanted guard with a debt to answer for. And Shepard begins to understand that the thing between her and Garrus is not only desire, not only captivity, and not only hatred.

    While Garrus follows the trail of off-register human prisoners, the truth of the bond draws closer to the surface.

    And when Shepard finally learns what the mark means, choice will become more dangerous than instinct ever was.

    Summary

    A chance encounter on the Citadel following the events of the Skyllian Blitz in 2180, leads Kara Shepard and Garrus Vakarian to meet earlier than the canon Mass Effect timeline. Kara is freshly promoted, completed her N7 training, and ready to take the next step in her five year plan. C-Sec Officer Garrus Vakarian has been upgraded from beat cop to actual crime investigation, and probably on the fast track to making detective whether he wants to or not. The two cannot fight their chemistry.

    Summary

    She felt like a monster. She'd accused MacCready of using her. She'd yelled at him for not leaving to see Duncan, but the real reason he hadn't... was because of her. He did the exact opposite of using her. She'd used him. He saw she needed him and he gave himself freely.

    "Oh my god." Nora moaned. "This is bad. I fucked up so fucking bad, Sturges. I-I didn't know."

    But Preston's voice, firm and full of authority, cut through her racing thoughts. "So what are you going to do about it, General?"

    -- OR --

    The Institute is gone, blown up by Nora and her friends, and she has nothing left to give. Riddled with grief and self-loathing, she exiles herself to her home in Sanctuary, where she becomes a shadow of herself. Of course it's the irritating mercenary that interrupts her despair and makes her feel things she's tried to lock up for months. Things come to a head and he leaves, maybe forever. She learns he left for the Capitol Wasteland after receiving a letter from home, and Nora picks up immediately to go after him. He deserved the truth - she was wrong. He mattered, maybe more than anyone. But along the way, she comes across something - and someone - that changes everything.

    Summary

    Perhaps she’s reading too deep into it. Maybe he doesn’t feel for her the same way she feels for him. It’s possible that he truly is just that charismatic. The flirting must just come naturally to him. Doesn’t mean that he always means it as anything more than friendly banter.

    The way he looks at her, though, especially when he believes she isn’t paying attention… The only word that can describe that twinkle in his eyes is longing. Desire.

    So, why the fuck won’t he take her bait?
