the thing about shakarian is that he looks up to her. there's plenty of romances out there where a plucky young ingenue catches the eye of her older, established, competent peer but this one is different. he joins up with her at the drop of a hat because he's eager and impatient and he thinks she's the shit. and she is the shit. she's established in her career, made a name for herself, commands the respect of an entire crew, and she kills a reaper in the middle of the citadel.

and then the universe tries to get in the way — he nearly kicks the bucket on omega, and she kicks it for real but not for good — but they find each other and it's not even a question whether he'll follow her into the breach. he'll do it again. and again. and again. his devotion isn't borne from some paternalistic need to take care of her; she can handle herself just fine. he follows her because he believes in her, and that makes the part where they fall in love even better.

it is so funny to me that garrus vakarian canonically loves EDM. like he literally should have been at the club

thinking about ashley... and her family, and her as the virmire survivor. her survivor's guilt. the rest of her squad dies on eden prime, but she gets to leave? her? ashley williams? the alliance wouldn't have picked her, if it had been a choice. they tolerate her, and her kin. her grandfather's surrender is a stain, and nothing his descendants have done has washed it out yet.

maybe a valiant, noble death would do the trick — something big, something important. something like dying on virmire, something to save the galaxy itself. but then she doesn't, and she's a survivor again, because shepard picks her. it's a brutal choice and shepard still picks her. how could they? ashley even says it to shepard's face: it should've been her.

and what if it had been? ashley would never have gone to horizon, and she'd never become a spectre, only the second human ever to do so. after virmire she feels like her life is something she doesn't deserve, but look at what that valiant death would've stolen from her, and from the galaxy, too.
