This is the post-war shakarian story you've been looking for
dreamt a cipher - chapter 13: Establish Orbit
a shepard/garrus post-destroy ending longfic.
rating: M pairing: female shepard/garrus vakarian additional tags: angst with a happy ending, slow burn (of sorts), fraught pining, reconciliation summary: Her own personal Noverian peak. That’s what it was supposed to be. Nothing but the discovery: no distractions, no comfort, no windows looking out—no familiar faces. But it's starting to look like her winning streak might have ended in that pile of Citadel rubble, if it ever extended that far to begin with.
A/N: chapter contains nsfw! it's also 15k long.

Teaser:
“You never go easy on me.” “Never thought you wanted me to,” she says, leaning forward and up into the warm shadow he throws. It’s not even on purpose: one moment the back of her head is resting on the covers and the next, her neck is arching like a flower to the sun. “No,” rumbles Garrus in return, watching her strain for him, eyes half-lidded and serious. “You’re right.” His hand twitches off her clavicle to find her jaw instead, talons teasing into hair as he eases the tension in her neck. Holding her up. “At least about this.”

Hi!!
I hope this isn't weird but I started reading (and absolutely loving) An Indecent Proposal and then the author themselves popped up on my dash and it felt criminal to not say hi.
Omg hiiiiii, not weird at all! I'm so flattered! Thank you so much ❤️🥰❤️ I'm glad you're loving the story! More is definitely on the way!!

An Indecent Proposal (Garrus x Shepard)
An Indecent Proposal (11872 words) by ScentedStrangerCreation Chapters: 7/? Fandom: Mass Effect Trilogy, Mass Effect - All Media Types Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Female Shepard/Garrus Vakarian Characters: Female Shepard (Mass Effect) Additional Tags: Fluff and Angst, POV Garrus Vakarian, POV Multiple, Humor, Attempt at Humor Summary: Fake engagement trope babyyyyyyyyy. Set during ME 2, Shepard and Garrus exploit a loophole in the Turian Hierarchy. It's just a technicality. They're just friends, of course. This started as a fluffy one-shot, but now we're going for a part fluff, part citadel DLC-style humor, part angst full story! Slight canon divergence at the beginning, which will only increase as we go on. Probably. “Actually, we can do this later,” Shepard gestured with the pad. “Want a drink?” He waved her off, “I should probably get back to—” “If you say calibrations, I’ll vent the battery.” “Well, I won’t say it then.” “Come on, don’t make me beg.” She turned around and started walking as if he’d already agreed, “have a drink with me.” “It’s actually been more threatening than begging.” “Oh, good. Then you’ll take it seriously.”

God I think sten in the fade might be the most heartbreaking one. Yes, Morrigan straight up can't believe her mother would ever care for her, yes Alistair just wants a family, yes Zev is out there literally getting tortured because that's familiar to him but there's something so subtle about Stens moment that I just love bringing him along.
Because he's...he knows. In a way. He knows exactly what's going on. He's not fooled into thinking this is real like Alistair or Wynne or Leliana or Zev. But equally he's not arguing his way out like Morrigan. When you talk to him he knows who you are, and why you're there, wants to make room for you at the fire.
Sten is... reminiscing. He's with these men who he knew who died and whose death signalled the end of his last true connection with home (both because of their deaths and because of the loss of his sword). He even says that the fade is no different from being in Orlais or Ferelden - none of it is home. It's such a stark contrast to Stens usual no nonsense tone and it really cuts to the heart of him and what makes him such a compelling character.
To get him to come with you, you remind him that he made an oath to you or other soldier things. Sten needs that order to be pulled from his memory here.
And it's just...it's heartbreaking. He misses home. He feels he can't go back. He doesn't know what the point is anymore. And it is the warden that quite literally gives him order and the ability to go back after his sword so he can head home. It's connection to people - you the protagonist specifically - that helps Sten move past his grief. And in that way, Sten mirrors Alistair and Oghren but that's a whole other post about themes of loss and grief and moving forward in origins ill make some other time.
(I also like it because it shows that Stens companions were joking about and very un-Sten like. I think there's this idea that flies about that before Bull was introduced, the Qunari were all very serious and stoic people and bull was a retcon in that regard. But we see Stens friends laughing about the lack of good food in Ferelden and making jokes)

What if Hawke gets knocked out during the fight with Corypheus in Legacy, and Carver is actually the one to finish the fight. What then.
It's about the crushing guilt, it's about the self-sacrificing and overconfidence, it's about the only other person in the world who still remembers your shared childhood home.
It's about being both selfless and selfish.
Hawke isn't the only one who loses almost everything, after all.
