Summary
Shepard smiles but something about it feels off, like she’s tired but no amount of sleep will help. The scars crisscrossing her cheek betray that, and it makes his own sting.
The look on her face is gentle, something reserved just for the low lighting of the late hours. A trill she can’t hear vibrates in his chest. It’s good to have her back, even if there’s still a dissonance lingering because he spent the last two years mourning her and coming to terms with that, only for her to come blasting back into his life, as is her style.
“I missed you, Garrus,” she says. “That's so weird to say; I feel like it’s only been a few weeks, but… It’s like I went to sleep for a while and when I woke up everything was different.”
“Yeah,” he mutters. “Guess that’s taking some getting used to.”
Shepard must relearn her place in a galaxy that spent two years moving on and living without her; Garrus finds there are three women he must relearn: the Commander, Shepard, and Jane.

Summary
Garrus has his head in his hands, taking a short rest on a half-empty supply crate, when he hears it. The idle communications console next to him suddenly beeps and roars to life. Her voice cuts clearly through the sound of static and explosions.
“General, do you read? The comm tower is now operational.”
It sends an electric current down his back that has him straightening as if a rod has been inlaid along his spine.
That’s Shepard.
Menae and Garrus’s regrets.

Summary
You (an idiot) have signed a lease for an apartment where everything keeps breaking. Karl (an even bigger idiot) is your maintenance man.
Surely his visit to diagnose what's wrong with your air conditioner will be simple, quick, and devoid of any carnal shenanigans.

Summary
When Garrus seeks help figuring out something romantic to do for Shepard, it's Vega who comes up with the idea of learning to tango. What starts out as simple dance lessons spins somewhat out of control--in the best possible ways.
