Garrus has already shown a lot of having Shepard's back, and I'm sure he'd take her up and walk with her into oblivion if it was necessary.

I can't quite remember; I didn't go up to the cabin much, but does Shepard have a bathtub, or just a shower in his/her bathroom (...is the room even accessible...)?

One thing I really like about Garrus (among many other things) is that he still wants to make a difference in this world. He really wants to fight injustice to make this galaxy a better place. Some of the other squadmates have that too (Thane, Samara), but I agree with enormousmoonboots that working with Shepard really opened his eyes. If he never met Shep, he would probably still be in C-Sec, trying to do his thing there. Garrus is pretty impulsive; if he sees something, he wants to jump it immediately. When you first see him ME1, he's very eager to do something about the problem called Saren, but C-Sec doesn't give him the chance to work on it the way he wants to.

His work with Shep to bring down Saren really fuels his desires to do something right. After Shep's death and everyone on the council rejecting everthing he/she fought for, he starts his own little project on Omega. I bet he got ants in his ass (it's a Dutch expression, I don't even know if it's the same in English ), and flew to Omega to do some good work. The guy just wants to be busy man. He doesn't want to sit back, relax and see what happens in the world; he wants to be part of the world, making sure he's doing something that benefits the galaxy.

His little plan on Omega starts well. He's getting things done, gathers a team and points his gun and shoots. Then, suddenly his plan goes to hell, and Garrus ends up being the only one holding the line and fighting off 3 merc gangs. And he won't stop. If Shepard didn't show up at that particular point, he would've continued fighting, eventually resulting in his death. But at least he would die doing something he always wanted: making the galaxy a better place.

That's why he'll never refuse to help Shepard. Garrus knows Shepard is trying to do the exact same thing he was practically born to do. Making a difference, the right way. He will always have Shepard's back.



And now it's time for me to take a shower and prepare my sex ed lesson for this afternoon. I don't want to blackout and start rambling about chafing. I too want to make the world a better place: SAFE SEX, DEAR CHILDREN!

Very nicely said.

And I think the closest that I know of is "ants in his pants"

I'm at work. It sucks mostly because there's no Garrus but there's filing.

I've been posting a little more recently, but RL had me in a chokehold for a while there. Even if I'm not posting, though, I'm lurking.

I -love- that about Garrus. Escpecially by ME2- he not only would unquestioningly follow you into Hell, but at the same time he's "all growed up" and is his own person, so it's not like he's some ass-kissing zombie or anything. He's that friend in the saying "A friend would bail you out of jail, but a REAL friend would be sitting in the cell with you saying 'That was awesome!'"
There's no question Garrus would do literally next to anything for Shepard. And I would be very gratified to see something like that pay off in ME3 (with the other squaddies, too). We get a little taste of the comraderie anytime Shep pulls her gun and the others immediately follow suit, never even having to be told.
It was like one of my new favorite Garrus quotes I only heard this latest PT. When you get Legion and the squaddies argue about him: "You know the risks. That's all I'm going to say." It's the nuance of what he says- the implicit trust, the respect to not question Shep's jusdgement about something she can easily handle. But also his tone of voice- it was very strong- one could almost take it as his subtle way of telling her to be careful, that he doesn't want to see something dangerous like this backfire on her.

Just hope Shep gets to show him something unconditional back in 3.

[Sialater]

Ack! Didn't mean to kill the thread!

[Flammie]

Don't blame yourself for it. The thread does seem to be lapsing somewhat... I think enormousmoonboots may have something with the summer rush for some people...

Just a shower, toilet, and sink in the bathroom and, yes, it's accessible.  Just walk up to the wall/door behind the desk with the console and it'll slide open. ^^

And yeah, does seem to be quite the dry spell in this thread.

Then there was GarrusxMShep crack fanfiction...and the fandom rejoiced. Or puked, depending on your opinion.

(NOTE: It's rated M for language and suggestive themes, part one of four, and basically a MaleShep version of the Garrus romance with an AWFUL lot of awkwardness, crack and fourth-wall breaking thrown in.)

Just finished reading the pages I missed.

@Ragabul the Ontarah: Thanks for the information about Shepard and Garrus catching each other in the suicide mission, I was wondering about that. I'll try bringing Garrus and Thane to the final battle when I play NG+ for my FemShep.

@enormousmoonboots: I've never seen all of that extra turian concept art before... I'm glad turians came out looking like they do now, as well. Some of them don't even look anything like turians as we know them. I've seen the Saren concepts, and even though they look cool, I'm glad Saren came out looking the way he does in ME1. (Why does that second Saren concept from the left look female to me? xD But that first one looks enough like Saren that I will probably think of it as his brother from now on.)

I think Papa Vakarian wouldn't like the idea of Garrus dating Shepard no matter what his/her decisions were in the first two games, but he might hate Shepard less if the Council was saved. Maybe he'll start to think not all Spectres are bad, but still not approve. He might not be too happy with my Shepards encouraging Garrus' Renegade behavior though.

Also... not only is the bathroom in Shepard's cabin accessible, the toilet has a flush option. o_o; I actually stared at it for a few seconds wondering what would happen before I pushed the button. (Basically, Shepard just flushed it for her own amusement.)

Well, I lul'd.  Like an idiot.  The second chapter just about murdered me, you're kind of awesome.

KEEP GOING, KEEP GOING.

But which way did the water swirl? 

[Nivenus]

I can't see why anybody would be disgusted by a Garrus/M!Shep romance and not a Garrus/F!Shep romance unless they're simply homophobic. I mean, it's not like the species differences are any more apparent when Shepard's a man rather than a woman.

Personally, I don't see Garrus as swinging that way any more than I see Tali swinging towards women, but I have no problem with it in principle.

I don't remember, but now I want to play the game again just to see. xD Push the flush button, buy new fish, cuddle with Garrus... Shepard's not being very productive after she defeated the Collectors. She's just on a paid vacation until NG+.

[TMA LIVE]

Quick question: Which is better to max out, and which is best to 0. AP Ammo or Garrus's class ability?

It's a crackfic. Everything is permitted in crackfics, even making characters swing different ways for no apparent reason, hehe.



What I did to poor Garrus isn't that bad compared to what I did to Shepard and Wrex, believe me. xD

Oh snap, I'm definitely gonna try out taking Garrus and Thane for my next PT to test the theory. Must Fraps it. I should also try to get a video of Jacob and his cuttlebone line. Aaarrgh stupid RL! I wish I had more time for all things Garrus and Mass Effect!

X, I love your stuff. Much lolz. I will R&R one of these days (same goes to anyx, Sia, and Flammie and anyone else on FF.N that I missed)

Oh, I know what a crack fic is. I know it was meant in jest. I was simply saying that no one should react with disgust if they don't think Garrus and fem!Shep can work.

[Sialater]

OK, we all have our assignment: see which way the water swirls in Shep's toilet.



And then I'm certain I'll see that in someone's crackfic.



No rush on the R&R, Soltana. Meghan is still insistent.

[Xsause]

Must...write...fanfic...about...Shepard's...toilet...

And I got my first "I can never look at [character name] in the same way ever again" review. Which is awesome.

Clockwise! The water swirls to the right! xD ...Yes, I turned the game on just to check that. And to make Shepard cuddle with Garrus.

Huzzah! Thanks, Kim. The mystery is solved! Good thing too. I was thinking about it too much. I wiki'd space toilets for funsies.
