{multi-chapter}

dangerously fine and unforgiven

rated E • 36 chapters • 190k words (complete)

what if earthborn shepard never enlisted? what if garrus never boarded the normandy? what if they find each other anyway? this one is a slow burn, adversaries to reluctant coworkers to friends to lovers to something complicated to lovers again.

fragile world

rated T • 3 chapters • 13k words (complete)

your garden-variety post-destroy fix-it reunion fic. short and sweet.

{series}

spectre vs. spectre

pt 1: whose is it now? • rated E • 7k words pt 2: he's mean; i'm meaner (prequel) • rated E • 4 chapters • 27k words

a rival spectres au; shepard is infamous as the butcher of torfan and the first human spectre, while garrus defied his father's wishes to become one and carries a chip on his shoulder because of it. the fact that they clash professionally does absolutely nothing to dampen their physical chemistry.

{one-shots}

fire in my head

rated E • 7k words

a mission goes awry when shepard and garrus stumble into a field of psychoactive pollen. sexy pollen!

seeing double

rated E • 6k words

since their "first date" roleplay went so well, garrus suggests a new scenario for the bedroom: being captured by shepard's dastardly clone!

once bitten and twice shy

rated T • 5k words

a mishap on a last minute mission results in shepard and garrus stuck in a hellish blizzard — and no other options but to huddle for warmth. darn.

do it scared. do it stupid. but most importantly, do it bitching and moaning the entire time

lots of really good, complex, messy, fun relationships between shepard and her crew but the one that really makes me feel crazy is shep and miranda, and i don't even need it to be romantic - tho i am still seething that i couldn't romance her - i think platonic or romantic it's just the most deliciously bonkers dynamic

what if this woman you don't know spent two years rebuilding you from whatever bits of your body survived your horrifying death in space, what if she created you, in a sense, out of your organic matter and synthetic material, recreated the perfect specimen of a human soldier that her boss thinks you are - and what if you learn later that she herself was created also, made to be the perfect specimen of a human woman by her egomaniac of a father?

what is she wanted to put a chip in your head, because while she was working on you she didn't really believe your autonomy was more important than being able to use you, and what if her father spent her entire childhood controlling her, because he believed her autonomy wasn't important at all?

what if she was put on your ship, under your command, but very clearly with her own agenda? What is she was your XO, but also your minder? What if she comes to respect you so much that she follows your orders all the way into a suicide mission, and then resigns from the organization that is the only thing that has ever meant safety and freedom to her? What if you come to rely on her and fully trust her as your second in command on the Normandy and as an ally in the war against the reapers because she's hyper competent and super smart and, more importantly, you know she wants to do the right thing?

what if she grows to trust you enough to show vulnerability, to ask for your help, to follow your advice and actually build a relationship with her sister? what if during one of the first real conversations you have with her she tells you she's not looking for a friend? And then in the course of months spent together fighting and planning and supporting each other, she does in fact become one of your girlfriends closest friends?

Listen. I wouldn’t just fuck an alien. I’d take an alien out on a date, to their favorite restaurant. I’d marathon an aliens favorite show with them. I’d spoon an alien every night. I’d bring an alien little random tokens and gifts to remind them of my affection. I’d help an alien work through their emotional issues and family baggage. I’d adopt a shelter pet with an alien and raise him as our very own son. I’d grow old with an alien, every blissful year of our union reminding us of how much we cherish each other. I’d make love to an alien.

Hands down my fave thing about hurricane season is when zoos put their birds in the bathroom to protect them from the wind and we get images like this

“you’re allowed to relax, you know” unfortunately i cannot do that. Otherwise they will get me

Scientific fraud is the most baffling thing ever to me like do they think they're just going to make a huge breakthrough and no one will notice that it's fake by trying to replicate their results

[pseudomantis]

Yeah actually I just discovered how to turn plastic into gold. Oh you want to know how I did it
