Summary
PART 6
2185: Shore leave takes Garrus Vakarian and Marika Shepard to Palaven. Home, family, and a confrontation Garrus has been avoiding. Visiting Valeria brings joy and hope, but it all comes crashing down during the dinner with Castis, pushing Shepard to her breaking point.
Patience gone and needing answers, things finally explode into raw honesty… and some good use of the hotel room as they navigate how to fix things before it’s too late.
Themes: Awkwardness, tension, finally smut, drama. You don’t have to have read the previous stories to follow along, unless you really crave context. There’s a recap in the first chapter so you’re caught up on the most important things of ACT I.

Summary
PART 1
2174. Admiral Hackett has just recommended twenty-year-old Marika Shepard for a one-year Alliance-Turian military exchange. Tasked with training at a base near Cipritine, she finds herself immersed in a world that’s not quite ready to forgive, or forget. Seventeen years after the First Contact War, scars remain—and for a human in turian ranks, respect doesn’t come easy.
But amidst the rigid discipline and unspoken resentments, Marika finds something she never expected: belonging. And in one sharp-eyed medic with a laugh like sunlight—something even rarer.
Learning to fight alongside turians is hard. Falling for one? Surprisingly easy.

By Starlight and Sapphire by BlueClanMarkings (UnhingedByChoice)
Fandom: Mass Effect - All Media Types, Mass Effect Trilogy
19 Oct 2025
Summary
This is a slow burn Shakarian with lots of drama to go around. It's smutty AF and rather free in terms of sexuality. We'll have plenty of threesomes and kink exploration to keep your hungry mouths filled.
These stories uses my personal Shepard—Marika "Mika" Shepard—and we follow her at different points during her life. There's a red thread in this entire series. It's meant to be read in order for proper context, but, of course, you don't have to do that. I usually add a little top note explaining important things you should be aware of.
There are also some one-shots here and there. They're are standalones, but can be considered canon for this series. They just don't fit the main thread, so they're posted outside of the "main big stories."
Themes: Relationship-focused—romantic, friendly, and familial—morally ambiguous choices, emotional, drama-packed, angsty, AU from work 5, dialogue-heavy, with enough smut to keep you bone dry on the inside from work 6 and onwards.

Summary
My Shakarian stories that have nothing to do with any of my other series. Everything from fluffy to downright horny will go here, and they have nothing to do with each other... mostly.

Summary
The series where I explore my love for the hot turian Daddies in the Mass Effect universe. That includes Lorik Qui'in, Castis Vakarian, and Adrien Victus.
With time, I hope to include:
- Saren Arterius
- Laiel Sparatus
- Venari Pallin could be fun
- A round two of Castis Vakarian, because I absolutely love that man 🥹- Words:
