Summary
When Shepard wakes after the Crucible's blast, she’s a shadow of the Commander who saved the galaxy. Her body is broken. Her past is blurred. The people who love her most are strangers to her heart.
But Garrus and Kaidan have never been the type to give up, and neither have the Normandy crew that once followed her through hell and back. As the galaxy rebuilds, so too does something softer: trust, belonging, and the quiet possibility of love reborn.
“Lazarus ReRising” is about more than Shepard’s survival; it’s about what she chooses to do with the life she never expected to have.

Summary
A steaming mug of darorn fruit, the hum of a bustling market, the crispness of an unworn uniform—mundane things, yet they all pull Garrus back to Shepard. All he has are fragments of their time together, haunting him in the silence of space, not knowing whether she’s dead or alive.
Story told through Garrus' nonlinear memories, as he commands Normandy in the aftermath of the Reaper War. Six months of a perilous journey, the crew faces the harsh realities of survival in a post-war-torn galaxy. With the Mass Relays destroyed, the Normandy's FTL drive is their only lifeline, and every day is a struggle against dwindling resources and the unknown.

Summary
Four years after the Reaper War, and the galaxy is slowly, but finally, healing her wounds. Most of the debris is cleared out, and the mass relays are repaired, facilitating travel around the galaxy once more. Garrus Vakarian has become a Spectre, and while he still thinks that Commander Shepard is alive out there, somewhere, it’s getting harder to believe with each passing year.
But the galaxy seems to love to make fun of him in thirds: on his third visit to Earth, he discovers Shepard’s third life. As part of a newly-founded arms manufacturing company, suspected of having ties to a major Earth crime syndicate.
He’s never been good with gray.

Four years after firing off the Crucible, Shepard is right back where she started: one of the gangs of her youth. She’s never liked feeling alone and powerless, and when she woke up after a months-long coma in those exact circumstances, well, she went right back to the one thing that’d keep her safe. Except it’s become the biggest crime syndicate in the United Northern American States after the war. And now she wants out. But when it comes to Shepard, it seems like the universe loves to make things harder than necessary.

Summary
His gaze swept across the cabin. The walls were the same, the furniture in its usual place. And yet... something was off. Like a perfect replica of his world, somehow made imperfect.
Then he noticed it.
The shadows on the walls were moving.
Not flickering like those cast by a normal light source. No, these shadows crawled. Slowly, stealthily, as if they had a life of their own. Kaidan held his breath, his gaze fixed on the phenomenon, his pulse quickening even further.
