Summary
He has to joke with her. He has to act like he’s completely normal about this proposition. Except he’s not normal about it. He’s not even working on the calibrations anymore. How is he supposed to focus when Shepard is waiting for him? But he can’t just rush over there like a fledgling. He has to retain some semblance of dignity.
Garrus dares to research human relationship customs. Has Shepard shown any signs of interest before that he just didn’t pick up on? Or maybe he’s overthinking it. Maybe she just wants sex. Nothing more. After all, it’s not like that’s atypical or out of the ordinary for turians. So maybe that’s also why she asked him, of all people.
His next daring move is researching actual turian and human relations. There aren’t many extranet hits, which doesn’t inherently surprise him, but he’s still slightly disappointed. Just having any sort of information to help him prepare to any extent would be nice.

AKA, when shep propositions garrus for sex out of the blue, he decides it would be foolish to deny her (and foolish to deny the crush that's been building for some time now) but he comes to find out it was simply a misunderstanding... or was it?

Summary
“Something on your mind, Big Guy?” she asks.
Big Guy? He thinks he’ll let her get away with that. “Wondering if I wanna let you leave here without learning your name.”
She hums as she moves towards the front door. “I think it would be for the best that we remain anonymous to each other.”
Oh. His mandibles flatten to his face as he attempts to keep his composure. This shouldn’t bother him so much. He clears his throat. “Right. Makes sense.”
“If we see each other again, though, then we can take that as a sign.”
~~~~
AKA, The first contact war has just ended, and the humans and turians have agreed upon an alliance through marriage. Novella Shepard is the human volunteer, which she has no qualms about...until she meets Garrus Vakarian, whom she has a brief yet passionate affair with. Except he is not the turian volunteer. So now they must navigate their newfound friendship (with a desire for more than neither can act on) while also trying to discover just who is trying cause Novella harm over displeasure for seemingly both humans and the alliance. In the end, will the alliance come to fruition, or will it turn into another disaster?

Summary
In the frozen tundra of Noveria, Garrus grapples with newfound feelings for his Commander.
***********************************************
'“Tell me again what you wanted, Lorik?” Shepard asked, turning away from her squadmates to focus her attention on the older Turian.
“I merely want to learn more about human culture. Your culture. It gets very dull on Hanshan. And humans are so very interesting. I haven’t had the pleasure of sitting for a conversation with one in a while. I want to know how you dance. How you fight. How you spar.” Garrus did let out a small growl now, his subvocals deepening in a clear threat. While Qui’in was bigger, Garrus was taller and armed. Armed with a very big fucking gun.'
