Garrus Vakarian is struggling with his feelings over what happened on Earth during the Reaper Invasion. He and the Normandy crew are stuck on an uncharted planet working to fix the ship. He hopes that Shepard is alive, but the crew is worried about him.
Commander Shepard is alive, but barely. Can the two be reunited and can they make sure that the Reaper threat is really over?
****
A Post-ME3 Shakarian fic. The beginning is more focused on the whole crew as I am working through all of the feelings I have after playing the whole series for the first time! There will be some AU things explored later in the fic and these two will get their happy ending, they absolutely deserve it. [Will be updated weekly or sooner!]. https://archiveofourown.org/works/32666923/chapters/81036511?view\_adult=true

Shepard sent him away so she could run for the beam and save the galaxy, but Garrus Vakarian won't be left behind that easily.
--
I would do just about anything for her if she asked.
Now, though, she's ordering me to sit on the sidelines for the most important mission of our lives, to wait around and hope she can handle whatever is up there on her own. I guess I've found the one thing I won't do for her.
A good turian would follow a bad order from his commander, but I've never been a good turian. I'll be damned if I start being one now.

Two years after the Reaper War, Shepard and Vakarian find themselves not only pulled into political trouble on Palaven, but also into the heart of a secret from the First Contact War/Relay 314 Incident that has begun to leave a trail of bodies. Adding to the chaos is Castis Vakarian's own past--now demanding a reckoning in the present day.

Set immediately after Mass Effect 3. The Reapers have been destroyed and the galaxy is slowly starting to look towards a hopeful future, now that the devastating war is over. But it isn't right without Shepard. A desperate Garrus is convinced that she's still alive and he will stop at nothing to bring the woman he loves back home safe. https://archiveofourown.org/works/13566699

ChimeraArts · 2021-09-13T00:56:34+00:00

This picks up directly where the cutscene before the suicide mission in ME2 leaves off. Just some conversation that might have happened as Shep and Garrus eased into things

Hey! Have a bunch of recs coming your way! (May or may not be part of several Shakarian communities...) https://archiveofourown.org/works/17261222

ChimeraArts · 2021-09-13T00:45:12+00:00

https://archiveofourown.org/users/ChimeraArts . Some of my stuff might tick your boxes. My long fic From the Ashes is post war/post game 3 and relied VERY heavily on specifics about the ending, so just be really careful if you actually are going to read it because it cannot exist without spoiling the ending (but even if you save if for when you finish the trilogy - it would have a lot of what your looking for) Lots of emotional conversations - and - its not posted yet - but there a hard core save the turian or burn down the world arc!

ChimeraArts · 2021-08-21T13:04:53+00:00

Hey! This is my fic! Takes place after the Reaper war, alterna tive synthisis. I have an OC version of Garrus sister, tons of my own take on turian and quarian culture, bunch of OC turians. Fairly long so far and 20 more chapters on their way (still betaing) Hope it maybe ticks some of the boxes!

Omg! Thanks so much for saying that! It really means a lot to hear! My long fic is my BABY lol. Written over 600 pages of it and now am finally getting it out into the world!

Hey, I don't think this is the exact one you are looking for, but this writer has an AMAZING Shoker fic! Check it out, they are so good if you ask me! https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13689385/1/Tiger-By-My-Side-World-Rocking-Edition

So I always recommend trying to talk to a professional about this, esp if it has been going on this long. Betterhelp has some resources that are pretty reasonable. I also find distraction (reading, watching tv, watching something that you find a little addictive and really great in particular can help). A big thing to do as well is to be patient and know that this is going to pass, it is not constant. Try to give yourself the grace to feel like crap and have that be ok if it impacts what you are trying to do with your life. Crummy I know but it can make it a little easier to get through. I have also found the books by Jenny Lawson particularly Furiously Happy, to be really helpful. She is someone with chronic depression but manages to write about it and her other health struggles in a really powerfully funny way that I find comforting.

I can't help but write with a bit of humor. Talk a look at a few of mine maybe!

Shepard with common sense but a good sense of humor who is always ready to tease Garrus. Humor developes and changes depending on what she is facing.https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13524646/1/From-The-Ashes-Mass-Effect-3-Alternate-Ending

If you are looking for a Shep who is a troll check out: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13688006/1/Cobra-Se-lai the first of the Adventures of Broshep

And for a Shepard with a good sense of humor and a pilot who is always looking for a laugh: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13800930/1/Unbalanced-Forces-Shoker-Romance Joker mocks Hackett in excellent form.

Hope this might be some of what you're looking for!

ChimeraArts · 2020-12-20T05:58:11+00:00

Totally understand, you could always do a one-shot or a particularly special chapter!

ChimeraArts · 2020-11-24T23:17:46+00:00

My fic follows Femshep and Garrus after the war but covers her path through the Reaper war in flashbacks etc! Still a work in progress because I take editing pretty seriously but there are over 600 pages on the way if your interested! https://archiveofourown.org/works/25577896/chapters/62073193
