#garrus x mshep

[lunargazing-png]

it was kinda awkward

[madamedramatics]

If Garrus ever learns how to use a Nerf gun, Shepard is gonna have to spend an entire evening writing up a new rule for the Normandy on why Nerf guns will no longer be permitted on the ship.

The fine print will be a reminder that the crew of the Normandy are living beings, and not target practice, even if the three burst blast to Vega's head across the cargo bay was a sick ass shot. Word for word.

Fine print P.S: This is a general rule that isn't meant to single any humans, quarians, Krogan, Salarians, or synthetic intelligence on the ship out.

Fine print P.S.S: Please disregard all rumors of your Captain being present during an "all out Nerf Gun battle" in the Cargo Bay after a Nerf pellet hit me. I was not present in the battle and would appreciate such rumors of unprofessionalism being spread. I would never fire off 20 loads of Nerf rounds from a Nerf gattling gun into Garrus' side because he refused to stop shooting me in the butt with his stupid Nerf Gun although I asked him several times to stop or I'd let Javik ship him out of an airlock. It's important to keep the ship as gossip free as possible. Thank you for your cooperation and once again, this rule is not meant to single any non turians out.

# inappropriate use of biotic charge

[omegastation]

i really really really reeeaaaaaly wish they would have added a joker romance to the legendary edition, or patched one into all the original games. it's so cruel that they leave an npc as amazing as joker unromanceable. justice for joker lovers!

Aaaw. I knew they wouldn't add anything to MELE and didn't expect them to, but I agree that romancing Joker would have been very nice. No matter who Shepard is linked with, I don't think you can easily separate Shepard from Joker & the Normandy. And I think it would have made sense beginning in ME2 and leading to ME3. I would have liked the opportunity for my MShep at least!

Btw, I'm not sure Bioware set out to be cruel about some romances/failed opportunities, but it can be upsetting for sure, especially after three games!

Study Group Pt. 2 (Garrus x Mshep)

Pairing:  Garrus Vakarian x Male Shepard Rating: Explicit Words: 1267 POV: Third Summary: The Big Tober Day 4 - Alienfucking Note: Sequel to this work from 2 years ago Tags: edging, dry orgasm, assholes in love, big alien dick, talk of breeding, safe sex because protein incompatibility, handjob & coming untouched

“I just don’t get it,” Garrus huffed, throwing the datapad Shepard had prepared for him to study onto the coffee table. Shepard sighed and leaned back on the sofa, taking the cup of beer with him as he went. The commander took a big swig. He had explained the concept multiple times to Garrus, but the whole idea of how it all could be pleasurable was beyond the Turian. “I’m sorry, Hyven,” Garrus purred, taking Shepard's hand in his own and leaving a soft kiss on it, which was more a press of the mouth than anything else, lacking lips and all. Shepard could be frustrated all he wanted, but in the end he was just a sucker for his alien boyfriend. 

Shepard then got the perfect idea. He had this wolfish grin on him all of the sudden that told Garrus enough. “What if I just… showed you?” Shepard used their intertwined hands to pull Garrus off his balance, putting his face really close to Garrus’. “Maybe you’ll get it once you’ve experienced it yourself.” 

Shepard could see the heavy gulp. He watched the gears turn in his boyfriend’s head. He did not know what calculations - or calibrations - Garrus was running in that beautiful head of his, but Shepard waited patiently. He let the other man do what he needed to do and respond when he was ready. It took Garrus a good minute, before he spoke up. “Ok.” 

Shepard had his boyfriend and himself naked on his bed in no time. A condom was the only thing separating the commander’s hand from the hot blue cock that pulsed inside it. Shepard admired each ridge and bump on it as his lubed hand glided all over it. Garrus was making the loveliest of noises, all soft and encouraging. Shepard wondered what he would hear if he had the capacity to properly hear the subvocals as well. He wondered what he would hear if the translator could actually pick up on every word. 

The human squeezed his alien boyfriend’s cock, giving it a tight grip downwards, then loosening it up as he went back up. Shepard could do this all day, having some down-time, relaxing, just him and the melody of Garrus. It was easy to tell when Garrus was starting to lose his patience. The Turian started thrusting into Shepard’s hand, longing for his orgasm. Shepard sped up, fingers dancing over the blue skin, knowing exactly under which ridge to press and where across the tapered head to swipe over it. Garrus swore up a storm as he got close to orgasm.

Shepard’s smirk turned almost devilish as he waited for the right moment. Garrus was tensing up and the human knew that was his que to let go. Garrus groaned as he was denied his orgasm. Heavy breaths left the Turian as he came down from that experience. “And you like this?” Garrus questioned, the inquiry telling Shepard enough about how much Garrus liked being edged. 

Shepard chuckled. “I guess? I mean it is torture, but you can edge me for hours and the eventual orgasm is so much better.” Shepard shrugged. “What about I show you the other thing?” Garrus shook his head, shifting to start grabbing stuff. 

“If you like it so much, how about we try it on you?” Garrus grunted as he took a hold of Shepard. The man relaxed, letting his boyfriend put him on his hands and knees. Garrus knew by now which toys to grab, prepping Shepard without having to jam his claws inside. In the past months they have found the motions that worked. They went through it, getting everything, warming each other up. The small dildo was first. Shepard took it with ease, the stretch familiar and the lube helping a long way. He put his elbows down, getting a little more comfortable, while he made Garrus do most of the work. “You’re lazy today,” Garrus joked, switching to the medium dildo a little sooner than he usually would. Shepard hissed, letting out a soft and low moan as Garrus pushed it in to the base. 

“I just gave you an amazing handjob. You’re quite demanding today,” Shepard commented back, shaking his ass a little in spite of knowing that Turians were no ass-loving people. The hips and waist were much more a point of interest. Like it was right on que, Garrus grabbed Shepard’s hips and held him in place, while he thrusted the dildo in slow and deep. Shepard whimpered whenever it hit his deepest spot. He had to give it to Garrus, it was a very effective way of shutting him up. 

About half an hour later, Garrus was on his back, Shepard riding him eagerly. The cock had so much texture; it stimulated every nerve inside the commander. Shepard sang his song of pleasure on top of the Turian. Claws pressed shapes into his thighs, the pain just egging him on. He felt his orgasm building. Once he was close enough, he lifted himself halfway off Garrus and stroked himself. Those icy blue eyes drank in the image of him stroking vigorously, only to stop and squeeze the base at the last moment. Shepard moaned through his orgasm, keeping himself from ejaculating. 

His breath was as ragged as after a battle and the entire dishevelled image of him drove Garrus wild. He picked Shepard up, carrying him across the room to the fishtank, pressing his back against it. Blue light highlighted Shepard’s silhouette as Garrus slid back inside. “So how often can you have an orgasm like that?” Garrus purred, before running his tongue along the muscle in Shepard’s neck. He could taste the remnants of the female Turian pheromones he had put on his mate earlier. Shepard mewled at the stimulation, mind too focused on the pleasure of Garrus’ flared cock to answer. “Shepard?” 

The lack of a nickname and the pause of the thrusts drew Shepard back to reality. “Huh? Just…” He wiggled against the fishtank, seeking stimulation with Garrus’ cock still inside him. “Just fuck me and find out,” he whined wantonly. It shattered Garrus’ every ounce of self-control. He took a better hold of the other man and pressed their bodies together, sandwiching Shepard between the fishtank and Garrus’ plates chest. 

The human made sounds no Turian ever could and every single one of them was thrilling, driving the Turian wild with possessive need. He got a little too excited, not hearing all the words Shepard was moaning. He barely fished out the words ‘I’m going to cum’ and instead of trying out what Shepard had shown him earlier, he went wild with the need of breeding his mate. Shepard howled with pleasure, words not coming together anymore to form even a single coherent sentence. Garrus felt like his world was nothing but white when he came deep inside his boyfriend, the condom not stopping him from feeling the satisfaction of breeding a mate. 

When he was past the peak, he became aware of the wetness on his abdomen. “Damn Garrus,” Shepard chuckled, holding onto Garrus for dear life as he came down from his own high. “You’re a slow learner today.” Garrus gently pulled himself out and carried Shepard to the bed. “You were supposed to give me a dozen dry orgasms, you know.” 

“Trial and error is the best way to learn,” Garrus deadpanned as he deposited his human boyfriend onto the bed. “So…” Garrus grinned as he got rid of the condom, eyes running over Shepard’s glistening body. “What about another study session later tonight?”

I'm searching for a long-lost Mass Effect fic on ao3. For the life of me I can't find it anywhere.

Plot is:

Kaiden/M!Shep, Post-ME3: Kaiden survives but Shepard is MIA. Earth is rebuilding, and hospitals start replacing the term "John Doe" for unidentified victims with "John Shepard", so searching for Shepard's body is much more difficult. But! Kaiden and Shepard swapped dog tags before the final battle...

Anyone know the one I'm talking about? 🤗

EDIT: found! Thanks saphirweretigrx https://archiveofourown.org/works/362903

[x3no9]

One of my few Kaidan X male Shep fics, but ends up being a different pairing. I will let you guess... lol

One of my very first sketched EVER from last week...

[mtreebeardiles]

Stardew Effect, Summer Year 1, pt 16

Full chapter over on AO3!

Kaidan leaned against the edge of Everett's desk, watching with interest as the other man carefully settled the injured bird into her temporary home. A makeshift nest to keep her comfortable, two shallow dishes filled with seed and water, and Evvy didn't bother closing the cage any when he straightened back up. Hadn't wanted to use a cage at all, Kaidan knew, but had ultimately decided the risk of the bird falling off his desk wasn't worth it. 

"So even the vet didn't know what breed she is?" he asked, cocking his head as he looked the bird over. He was hardly an expert himself, could barely tell the difference between a raven and a crow, but it still struck him as odd that a professional wouldn't have any clues, either. 

Though I guess a veterinarian isn't required to be a ornithologist, too. 

"She thinks she might be one of those rare birds you see sometimes down on the Fern Islands," Everett replied with a shrug. "Some of those come in this same shade of blue, though they tend to be a lot bigger…"

"Think she's a baby, then?"

"So to speak." Another shrug and Evvy offered him a wry grin. "Injured's injured, and I can only hope she'll be able to find her way once she's all healed up." He gestured for Kaidan to follow him back into the hall, and Kaidan waited for him there as the other man stepped into the bathroom to wash his hands. 

"Thanks, by the way, for coming over here instead," Evvy went on. "I'm pretty sure we'll have the place to ourselves -- Shawn and his boyfriend are meeting up with an old army friend of ours."

"Yeah, of course," Kaidan replied, falling into step behind him as Everett led the way to the living room towards the front of the house. He'd officially met Leigh the other day, their interaction brief but enough for him to get a good sense of the guy. Patient, with the sort of smile that reached his eyes, and Kaidan had liked him almost immediately. "I don't mind."

He murmured his thanks when Everett offered him some lemonade and settled on the couch, leaning down to scratch behind Nutmeg's ears while Evvy moved into the kitchen for drinks and snacks. 

"So you think that bird was in the mines?" he found himself asking once he came back and plopped onto the couch beside him. Everett frowned in thought, fingers tapping idly against the side of his glass. 

"I don't know," he admitted. "Seems like a weird place for her to be, but if she wasn’t then…"

"Then why would the bats have been chasing after her," Kaidan finished for him. He glanced towards the hall leading back to the bedrooms, unable to shake the feeling that something was off. Hadn't necessarily gotten any bad vibes, just… 

Oddness.

Favourite Companion: you know its Legion

Least favourite Companion: Don't really have any bc I love them all, might have to say Jacob just bc of how bioware wrote him, and hes mean to tali, garrus and thane... and the fact he can cheat on you???

Favourite NPC: Kirrahe, Aethyta, Shiala, that smoking salarian lol

Mass Effect Tag Game

Tagged by @judithmactir ! Sorry for breaking the rules and including the Forbidden Game in there as well XD

I am a fan since: Got the Forbidden Game (MEA) in late 2019, and then MELE in I wanna say early 2022

Favourite game of the series?: MEA, oops. ME2 otherwise! I am all about those gangs of misfits

MShep or FShep?: FShep

Earthborn, Colonist or Spacer?: I've fiddled around with all backgrounds, mixing and matching the canon elements (for example, Kay Shepard is an Earthborn but did not join a gang, while Maeve Shepard is a Colonist who did join a gang for a while after losing her family to Batarians)

Biotics or Tech: Biotics, especially in MEA. The combat there is so fun, and I don't even like shooters!

Paragon or Renegade: Paragon, Paragade at best. I am a softie

Favourite Class: Sentinel

Favourite Companion: I would say I enjoy everyone to a certain extent, though a lot of my blorbo brain power goes to Garrus, Javik, Ashley, Tali, Thane, Samara, Vetra, Drack, and Jaal

Least favourite Companion: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My squad selection: Ashley + Garrus, Garrus + Thane, Ashley + Garrus again (ft. Javik), Jaal + Drack

Favourite In-game romance: I've enjoyed all romances I've tried, though I only fully finished the trilogy as a Garrusmancer. Same wrt MEA and Jaal

Other pairings I like: Shavik obviously, also TIMShep, a proper Shepard x Samara romance, also various NPC/NPC crackships (Steve x Thane anyone? Steve x Vega? Idk I just want Steve to be loved while I play f!Shep)

Favourite NPC: Eve, Kesh (I love Krogan women ;_; ), our non-companion crewmates on both the Normandy and the Tempest, David Archer (my son who did nothing wrong), the Quarian Admirals

Favourite Antagonist: TIM, Saren (I am looking Disrespectfully). Also idk if she counts as an antagonist but I have a soft spot for Sloane Kelly (it might be the voice)

Favourite Mission: Theros, Suicide Mission (with guides!)

Favourite Loyalty Mission: Kasumi, Jack

Favourite DLC: Lair of the Shadow Broker, Leviathan

Control, Synthesis or Destroy: My own convoluted HC where Shepard chooses Control but their body is not destroyed straight away so they are unplugged from the Matrix eventually, and the Reapers are bricked, while the Geth and EDI are saved

Favourite Weapon: Uhhh flamethrower?

Favourite Place: Ilos, Tuchanka, pretty much all the planets in MEA. I like it when the landscapes are unique with minimum brown sand XD

A quote I like: "It's so much easier to see the world in black and white. Grey... I don't know what to do with grey"

[monowires]

i don’t usually like getting into new fandoms because i am both afraid of and wary of new people. however my autism wants more mass effect on my timeline, so.

i’m 20. name’s johnny but people who know me may call me ker or shep. please don’t call me this if you don’t know me.

i’m multifandom. ones that never leave are cyberpunk and mass effect. others that come and go are genshin, pjsekai, fallout, skyrim, outlast, twdg, the last of us, detroit become human, apex legends, etc.

i’m Extremely autistic and also have very bad memory, im awkward around new people and i tend to stick to myself. i promise i’m not ignoring anyone, i’m just not a social person.

i am only sparingly on tumblr right now because i haven’t finished the games and i’m avoiding spoilers.

some tidbits about me and my mass effect history,

i’m currently playing the trilogy, im halfway through me2. i played me:a first in 2020, i’ve played it a lot and got platinum when i had a playstation (i’m a pc player now). i got the trilogy because it was on sale and i’d just gotten my financial aid refund and i had always wanted to play it.

it is the most intensely i’ve fixated on something new in four years. usually new media i enjoy doesn’t clutch me this tightly, but mass effect has effectively (haha get it. EFFECTively) dethroned fallout as my favorite game franchise of all time. to put that in perspective, fallout has been my favorite since i was 12, so 8 and a half years. would’ve been 9 later this year!

i love shepard so much and i’m a little mentally ill about him so if i end up being friends with anyone here i just ask that you don’t try & insinuate you like him more than i do. like idc if you say you love him but once it gets competitive it makes me uncomfortable because he’s my autism creature (i don’t expect this to make sense to people who aren’t autistic)

i’ve been going through the series blind, which i haven’t done with a game in years. i know that there’s 8 endings in me3 but i’ve managed to avoid spoilers, clips, etc. how? no idea. especially since mass effect is a really popular series. but. currently i’m so excited to eventually get to me3 and be able to be gay with kaidan. mshenko feels like the slowest burn in the whole universe??? the first 2 games feel like shep’s pining is unrequited and unreciprocated. it is. Painfully delicious

out of the whole series i love default mshep and default scott ryder, they’re my scroinglies. i play both as biotic. i know shep is canonically biotic. my shep is canon compliant but also has some headcanons to make him my own.

general rule of thumb, whenever i say shepard i mean male shepard; i’m a bisexual trans man whose attraction to men is like 99% of my bisexuality lmaooo

my favorite ships for shepard are shenko & whatever they call garrus x shep. funny story, my sibling and i came up with the name shenko before i even knew it was actually what they called it.

for scott i love scott x jaal and scott x reyes. i’m also partial to scott x liam heh

i headcanon shepard as gay and kaidan as bisexual. i promise my shep isn’t maidenless he’s just gay.

ok i have talked a lot but uhh. yeah follow me if you want, i’ll follow back if you’re 17+.

For Garrus Vakarian Lovers/addicts,

Do yall think he ever notices that we take him on every single mission? Even the ones that would benefit greatly from bringing other squadmates? What do you think it would make him feel? Mass Effect 1 Garrus would probably get a massive ego boost. Mass Effect 2 Garrus would be happy to get the stress off even though he feels like he doesn't deserve the attention. Mass Effect 3 Garrus would realize that aside from his god tier shooting, he is literally Shepard's biggest moral support keeping them from falling apart because regardless of whose better for the mission, no one does a better job than him keeping Shepard's sanity in check🥹🩵
