where are my Shakarian girlies at 🥺 WIP for print club this month!!

[creednight]

I saw a prompt that said the love interests are accidentally in close quarters and they're hiding from something. So ofc i did a fem!shep x garrus of it. Hiding from husks, yeah this wouldn't happen but it does in my heart.

Your gun is jammed and Garrus is hurt with Kasumi scouting ahead for an exit. The husks were starting to overwhelm you guys, so you told Kasumi to go for back up while you pulled Garrus's hulking body with yours between some crates. Now you're crushed against him, counting his gasping breaths as he clutches the wound at his side. He has to lean over you, his head resting on the crat behind you while you get some medigel from your omnnitool.

You move back a bit to see the wound on his waist and glance up at him. "Um, is it okay if I put this on? Or do you want to do it?"

"Heh, I usually ask for dinner first," he scoffs between a ragged breath. His dual tone voice sounds so seductive when he's whispering, it's almost distracting. "Go ahead, Shepard. I won't take it personally."

You roll your eyes and slither your hand to his side, gently brushing the thick gel across his wound and tensing when he hisses at the sting. Down below, there's a rolling grumble from the few husks left and the two of you hold your breath and wait for them to settle.

Once it's quiet again, except the hum from a generator, you try to give him more room to settle and ease the pain, but he catches you with a hand on your back. When you give him a questioning look, he gestures to the stack behind you then easily lifts you onto the crate. You hold your breath to stop a surprised yelp from escaping you.

Sometimes you forget just how strong he is and how much bigger he is compared to you. Being eye level with him makes it difficult for you to concentrate on the problem at hand, a common occurrence lately. You hold your legs together and angle them to the side, allowing him more room to lean towards you and put less pressure on his wound from his armor.

"It's not deep, right?" you whisper, worried about the hushed keen from his subvocals.

"No, just burns," he rumbles a reply. "Are you worried?"

You nudge him with his legs, flinching when he does before opting to shove his arm a bit. "Just don't want you bleeding all over me again." His shoulders shake with a silent laugh, as he looks up whatever retort stops dead in his throat as he realizes just how crushed together the two of you are. His outstretched mandibles brush against your chin, a warm and surprising gentle feeling that startles you for a second. Ice blue eyes gaze into your own as the world seems to still and you don't want to move.

Your breaths mix as he leans to put his right hand on one side of you and keep the other braced against the crates on your right. A similar scenario has played out in your head multiple times in the past few months when you think of Garrus and now your mind charges down those same paths. He would easily trap you into a kiss, human or turian, and you'd melt right into it. He watches you as if thinking the same thing, his eyes darting down to your lips and then back up to your eyes.

Does he know how humans kiss? Would that disgust him?

You don't get to find out as the compound suddenly vibrates with the familiar explosion of back up. Garrus leans away, offering a hand to help you down before you take over and pull him close to help him walk back out. Neither of you speak, though your blushes are evident, as you each take a pistol to shoot the husks from the opposite side.

"Anything fun happen while I was gone, Commander?" Kasumi asks with a certain gleam in her eyes afterward.

You do your best to play it off, but the flush returns and she practically skips away with her own ideas of what happened.

[creednight]

A little angst with a dusting of fluff. I love the absolute trauma Shepard has at the beginning of ME2.

You can't breathe.

The precious oxygen you have is hissing out of your suit. The remnants of the Normandy pools around you, you claw at your throat desperate for some reprieve. Your lungs burn as you stare at the hulking planet before you, what was it again?

Alchera.

After everything you did, after the people you helped and saved, this is how you go out?

Tears well up in your eyes as your life flashes, the last image you see before everything goes dark is Garrus's face, smiling at you.

You wake up, gasping for air and struggling against your blankets. You body is too hot and too cold at the same time, your neck stings and chest burns.

A dream.

"Commander, do you require assistance?" EDI's smooth voice filters in through your ragged breathing.

"N-no," you huff. "I'm fine. Just a nightmare."

"I would like to remind you that Dr. Chakwas has prescribed sleeping aids for this very situation." "I know, I know," You sigh, rolling to your feet. The thought of sleeping again makes you cringe. "Is anyone else awake?" "Aside from most of engineering, Garrus is awake in the Main Battery," EDI replies, and you swear you can hear a certain tone to her words.

"Okay, thank you."

Dressed in sweats and an oversized shirt, you head to the main battery in search of your best friend. Since recruiting him, you've had some sporadic time to catch up and with your schedule suddenly opening earlier than expected, you want nothing more than to be near him. You've never understood this need, something you did before in the SR1, to seek him out and just be near him. But he's never complained and you really need to ease your mind.

"Shepard?" Garrus's surprise makes you smile.

"Hey," you greet him and plop down at your usual chair against the wall. "I couldn't sleep."

"Commander had a nightmare."

"EDI!" you swear at the AI. "Don't listen to her."

His gaze softens. "Alright. I'll pretend I didn't hear that. I'm just doing calibrations, want me to walk you through it?"

You nod and lean back in the chair, bringing your knees up, and getting comfortable as he dives into narrating his work. His dual tone voice in it's warm thick timbre manages to lull you into a light slumber. Garrus doesn't notice until he turns to ask you a question only to find you almost falling out of the chair.

He smiles at you then, admiring how soft and gentle you look compared to when you're awake. Two years may have passed, and he may be a different man than he was then, but you still matter to him. He can't stop the nightmares, no matter how badly he wants to, but he'd do anything you wanted if it meant getting a good nights sleep.

Carefully, he lifts you from the chair. Spirits, have you always been so soft?

He forces himself to focus as he brings you over to his cot and lays you down. Taking you back to your cabin means the crew witnessing their Commander vulnerable, something you would never forgive him for. He feels honored that you trust him enough to care for you in this state, he will never take it for granted. Especially now that you're really alive and in front of him.

As he lays you down and pulls up the blanket, he resists the urge to lay his forehead against yours. That kind of intimacy will only be initiated by you, he's decided. Instead, he brushes his hand over your cheek, marveling at your warmth and how you smile at his touch even in your sleep. Did you recognize him simply by touch? Can humans differentiate in their sleep?

Before he can overthink it further, he brushes a stray hair from your face before returning to his work. He has an alarm set to wake you in a couple of hours so you can beat the morning rush. For now, he takes comfort in your presence as he continues his calibrations.

[creednight]

I kept rolling with the idea from the first post. What if Shep is just a little oblivious about interspecies relationships and just assumes Garrus isn't interested? This piece would be part two from Kaidan's question and shepard/reader is grappling with their feelings.

Slight NSFW, fem!shep

Where were you?

You look around the warehouse, gun in hand, ghosting the darkest corners searching for... You don't know. Finally, you turn a corner and spot a familiar figure that brings you relief. "Garrus!"

You run up to him just as he turns, the look in his eyes is different. Intense. You pause just a few feet away and frown. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing," he waves off your concern, his usual smirk replacing it.

You glance around. "What are we doing here?"

"Recon, for now, there's supposed to be a shipment of red sand we agreed to intercept," he explains as if it's normal for you to forget the objective. "We still have half an hour before it gets here."

Oh, right. Your mind conjures a fuzzy memory of your assignment from Hackett, that's who gave it right?

Either way, you find yourself leaning against the crate he's standing at and holstering your pistol. Out of the corner your eye, you see him eyeing you with that same look he had on earlier and you turn to give him a similar look.

"What?"

There's a growl in his subvocal that sends a chill up your spine. "Don't... look at me like that."

"You're literally looking at me like it," you state back indignantly. "If you need something, just say it."

"It's not... that easy," he struggles to reply and now you're really worried.

"Garrus?" you stand up and move closer. "Are you hurt?"

Getting closer seems like the wrong move because he meets you part way and traps you against the crate. Did you do something wrong? You read a little about turian biology and culture, when hurt they tend not to burden their squadmates with it.

You lean forward to find any visible wounds when he stiffens and lifts you onto the crate with another growl.

"Stop. I can't resist you, Commander," he rumbles in your ear and you gasp at how it hits your core.

"Wh-wha...?" your breathing comes out ragged as his nose plates ghost the skin of your neck and his breath tickles the sensitive area.

There's a hum in his subvocals now - no - a moan. So guttural and so hot that you melt against his ministrations on your body. Is this okay? Does he want you, or your body?

The wet and warmth of his tongue flicks across your neck and your brain automatically shuts off and you gasp heavily. Your hips lift involuntarily, begging for any kind of friction as he latches on to you. His hands come up to press you into the crate, his three fingered grip is just as strong if not stronger than a human one as he easily pushes your legs open to accept him. When he makes the journey to your face, his mouth plates press against your lips and you're surprised to feel how warm they are and how much less awkward it is to kiss him.

He presses his hips to yours and you gasp into his mouth. "Wait... I-I don't know what to do for you."

The trill of his subvocals plays on your heart as he leans back and gazes into your eyes with an intensity so strong you struggle to keep his gaze. "I'll show you, Shepard."

You burst awake at that, sitting straight up in your bed with your chest heaving. A dream?

You glance around to find the room empty as consciousness brings your wits about you.

Did Kaidan's question really trigger something like this happening? You fall back on your pillow and let out a gust of air.

Christ you're going crazy now. Wet dreams about Garrus? That'll be interesting to keep from him. There's no way he'll know right?

[creednight]

Garrus x reader

Made a little one shot, nothing crazy. this is my own AU so if it doesn't match up game stuff don't come after me.

Kaidan wonders what's going on between you and Garrus and you just realize maybe he's on to something.

"What's going on between you and Garrus?"

The question hangs in the air over you as you head back to the Normandy. Kaidan was doing better and despite his harsh words at your reunion, you were happy he was okay and would be in time. The two of you aired out everything and then he hit you with that question.

Your response was easy, 'nothing'. Garrus is your best friend and he's a turian, even if there were feelings there it wouldn't work... right? Interspecies relationships aren't new, you've seen them before in vids, books and comics. It's just not something you specifically think about.

Then you do and the thoughts of Garrus early in the morning enjoying coffee with you flit through your mind's eye. How the two of you would be up late sharing stories on the Mako while he repaired it, or how you go to the main battery when you can't sleep and often find yourself back in your own bed in the morning. And, the strongest memory by far, the way he looked at you when he realized it really was you standing before him on Omega.

Your chest warms at that thought, you were desperate for someone familiar, that's how you reasoned your response when he got shot in the face and nearly died. The sobbing and screaming as you retaliated against every merc you saw is still seared in your brain.

"Shep-!"

The familiar dual tone voice pulls you from your thoughts, but much too late as you run straight into him. You stutter a step back and glance up to see him peering at you with a curious look, his mandible flicking out into a smile.

"Sorry," you respond with your own smile. "I was deep in thought."

"Is Kaidan okay?" he replies with a furrow of his brow plates. "He didn't accuse you of being Cerberus did he?"

"What? No, we talked it out," you shake your head.

It falls silent and you eye him in his armor. He's always been taller than you, and bigger though turians tend to be on the slender end of the scale. He raises a brow back at you and you turn away, hiding the flush on your face.

"He had asked about you," you allow yourself to reveal a bit of information.

"Oh?" Garrus's voice takes on a curious hum. "Care to elaborate?"

"He was curious as to how I convinced you to join me," you reply, not really a lie.

"Did you tell him you didn't?"

You exhale. "I said that you took a rocket to the face and that was the perfect time to kidnap you."

He laughs and the sound catches you off guard. "Very true. Though I wouldn't need kidnapping to follow you anywhere, Shephard and I hope you know that."

The intensity in which he said it make your heart race and you try to laugh to diffuse the sudden tension but it comes out strained. There was never a question that Garrus would join you, you didn't even entertain any other possibility. As soon as you saw it was him under the helmet, confirming your suspicions, you knew he would be on your team.

You smile back at him, Kaidan's words still ringing in your mind. "Of course I do. You and me, always, Vakarian."

[creednight]

All,

I am drawing a blank on what to write. I can't decide between fluff, angst or anything really. If you'd like a drabble, put in an ask and I will write it! Pick a fandom, character or pairing and go crazy. I'll let you know if I'm not comfortable with a topic and work to find a different one.

[creednight]

Might turn this into a Mass Effect page as well. I just started playing that and, yes, I'm in love with Garrus.

[creednight]

I'm going to open up my ask box to get back into the groove of writing. I will do SFW/NSFW drabbles, short fics whatever. If you request something I'm not comfortable with I will let you know, but we can try to work something out as well. Fandoms on this blog are Skyrim, Mass Effect, Baldur's Gate, Assassin's Creed. Others depend on my familiarity with them and, again, I will let you know :D I'll start posting my own work too, I'm just out of ideas atm.

[creednight]

Might turn this into a Mass Effect page as well. I just started playing that and, yes, I'm in love with Garrus.

i don’t know how to explain it to y’all but you can headcanons whatever the fuck you want about fictional characters (and do so!! it’s really fun). but you can’t FORCE IT on other people. and no, if they don’t share the same view, they aren’t assholes? and no you can’t them harass for it?
