in preparation for tomorrow, i have written a poem

twas the night before lilmissnatcat24 has her shakarian minibang fic posted,

and all through the house

she was hyperventilating in a brown paper bag in fear that everyone would hate the fic and also her,

it made her nose tremble like a little mouse.

for she had put so much effort into this fic,

far more effort than people should even care,

in the hopes that her beautiful mutuals would be on her ao3,

and her statistics page, all day she would refresh and stare.

[lilmissnatcat24]

latest fics, first line edition

thank you for the tag @westernlarch @that-wildwolf @themaniacisinthemailbox @mostmagical!!!! this was a fun one to get!!!

Rules: Post the first sentence of your latest 10 fanfics, then tag 10 people.

wayward

It was hell when the blisters came back.

how human are you, really?

It was sad, really, that she could classify her missions as "letting a synthetic interface rewire your consciousness and take complete control," but here she was, hungover from another damn probe in the soft matter of her brain, and she was growing quite sick of it.

graybox, in mortem

He supposed if he wasn't so hyped up on stims, it would have hurt a lot more than it did.

electric sheep

On the day that Garrus Vakarian died, he had bought Shepard white flowers.

with benefits

They were just friends, until they weren't, but even then she ran away from whatever they turned into as if it were barbed and poisonous.

for educational purposes only

They had started drinking because Shepard finally discovered she didn't give a rat's ass about Cerberus's stipend and spent her entire weekly allotment on booze.

pseudoendotrizine, for beginners

Johnny Silverhand— rockerboy, voice of the people, the thorn to corporate colonialism— was not above admitting that there were several times in his life where he wished he woke up in a chick's body.

guilt-ridden (emphasis on: ridden)

Garrus Vakarian was cursed.

i can fix that

She knew he was inside of the Battery by the smell alone.

fantasies, new and old

When Garrus was younger, he had the sort of fantasy that only a still-downed turian could have in boot camp, the one that made him feel like some sort of a degenerate.

this was really fun!!! i love first lines!!! i think i am waaaay late to this here so sorry if you've been tagged already, but i'll tag @dispatchwithlove @garfbin @volchonika @callista-curations

Title: The Storm on Ontarom

Rating: T

Word Count: 5,765

Summary:

As Shepard confronts the horrors of Cerberus experimentation and the ghosts of a past she narrowly escaped, Garrus begins to realize his feelings for her run far deeper than admiration.

Posted to the Shakarian Mini-Bang 2026 collection on the AO3.

You can find the author here and the artist here!

Title: Rubicon

Rating: T

Word Count: 5,120

Summary:

The Rubicon. A line that's been crossed; a point of no return. With only hours left before the inevitable, Garrus seeks out Shepard and proposes going on one last date to spend what could be one of their last days alive on just being together. When Shepard agrees, they take a small walk down memory lane. Bittersweet and light on plot.

WIP WEDNESDAY

I think I would have had this one done already but my drawing pen died 😅

[stumbleduponbyaksident]

Imagine how crushing it must have been for Shepard to read that. Yeah it's some Shadow Broker's stupid estimation but imagine reading that the person you appreciate and cherish the most in the world, the companion who was there with you at your highest and lowest, maybe someone you kind of want to keep close for the rest of your life, is probably unable to reach his full potential as long as you keep him close.

And you want him to reach his full potential. Cause he's your friend and maybe someone more and you wish him the best.

But you also want to keep him close. Cause he's your friend and maybe someone more and you wish him the best.

I mean, it's just Shadow Broker's stupid estimation, who cares? But "what if he's right?" will always be stuck somewhere in the back of Shepard's mind

[lilmissnatcat24]

i hate, more than anything else, scenes where a group of characters come together to rehash what happened to them all separately. i hate it so much.

[lilmissnatcat24]
