Summary
Jane Shepard isn't good at relationships. That's probably why her marriage ended, though that could have been a lot worse. She isn't good at sitting on the sidelines either, which is probably why she finds herself in the middle of the rising conflict between the rapidly expanding krogan population and, well, everyone else. And she definitely isn't good at forgiveness, which is absolutely why when a certain blue-eyed turian who has avoided her for the last twenty years drops back into her life she doesn't exactly take it well. On the plus side, though, Jane Shepard is very good at fighting, and it looks like there's a lot of that coming her way.
Eventual Shepard/Garrus relationship, slow build, eventual smut. This is a character-driven fic with lots of Shakarian banter and a few OC's thrown in. Based on a previous Liara/Shepard relationship that ended on good terms, but no Liara/Shepard smut (sorry). Shakarian all the way! Updates regularly!

Garrus was the nerdy kid at the Citadel school who got beat up because of who his dad was. Shepard was the scrappy, angry duct rat who stepped in to save him. Garrus fell in love instantly.
Their relationship changes a lot over the years, and so does the world. It feels like a game he doesn't know how to play, much less win. He has no choice but to keep trying.
Childhood friends AU. Completed. Spoilers up to and including Mass Effect 3. Explicit sex. Other trigger warnings in chapter descriptions.
