Title: Be Between Me and Thee

Rating: T

Word Count: 6,337

Summary:

On multiple occasions in the years they've known each other, Shepard and Garrus have been kept apart by space, time, commitments, and on one memorable occasion, death. That has never stopped them from keeping in touch, however. Be Between Me and Thee records the messages sent between Shepard and Garrus (or from Garrus to Shepard) on four occasions in their lives: after Garrus leaves the SR-1, while Garrus is alone on Omega, during Shepard's house arrest after the destruction of the Alpha Relay, and after the Battle for London. It explores their evolving relationship and what they mean to one another through these significant milestones.

Dossier - Archangel

Garrus: Shep—Jane, wha-h-h-how? Shepard: Guh—Gaus—GUSSER ... 5 mins later ... Shepard: I’m shouting you, Gusser, they bug-fuck-bring me back right. Garrus: Wrong? Shepard: Uhu, that. Uh... know. I feel. Garrus: Bastards. Who do I kill? Shepard (reaching up to stroke his mandible): Me. Garrus: Very funny. Shepard (groans and points at Miranda and Jacob): Me. Kill. Cerbies. Garrus: Indeed, and so you will. I’ve got your six. Just say when.

words are really fucking hard with brain trauma, yeah?

it's based on my own aphasia and paraphasia, which i got after a seizure with oxygen deprivation over a decade ago. it's not as bad now, but words are still difficult most days, and they don't always come out of my mouth the way they are in my head. quite fun to write, though.

(psa: don't put stuff in someone's mouth when they have a seizure because they will. fucking. choke. and probably end up hating you if they survive😉)
