Summary
When it comes down to it, the prefab isn't what either of them are used to anymore: their quarter on the Normandy is much bigger, much homier, and both of them have managed to turn it into a true home, but, at the end of the day, it’s the best either of them have gotten in a while. It’s theirs and theirs only, and as long as Shepard and Garrus have each other, it’s enough.
After the end of the war, there's a lot Garrus and Shepard need to figure out. Luckily for both of them, they still have each other.

Summary
Neither Shepard nor Garrus know how it started, and at some point, both of them have stopped caring. None of it matters anymore, after all: Shepard is right there, staring right into his soul, and, not for the first time, he blinks first, losing their secret staring contest.
Sometimes, all either of them need is a kiss. For good fortune, obviously.
Series

Summary
Before Miranda can think more about it, before she can put any thought into it, she finds herself sighing. Taking a deep breath in hopes to ease the stress that’s been eating at her, Miranda finds herself speaking before she can put any thought into it, “Jack, I can’t. I--I can’t do this anymore. Us.”
AU. After yet another bad argument, Miranda and Jack are left to pick up the pieces of each other and of their relationship.

Summary
“You don't even want to talk about it?” He's a softie, and she should expect such a thing from him. Both of them have fun, sure, but Chloe never thought about the future. Not like this. And if she has to guess, Nate probably hasn’t thought about it, either, because, then again, aren’t they the ones always playing cat and mouse with each other? “Discuss the pros and cons?”
Sometimes, things didn't go as planned. Other times, it absolutely did.

The Bestest Detectives by tropicalius
Fandom: To The Moon (Video Game), To the Moon Series (Video Games)
08 Dec 2021
Summary
Canon divergent fics for To the Moon series. Mostly RosaWatts and mostly in chronological order. Spoilers for Impostor Factory.
Update (10/08/2024): Since The Beach Episode came out, this series doesn't follow canon anymore and will work towards fixing the events of The Beach Episode. There'll probably be four main fics that are part of this updated 'verse.
I've since changed "canon compliant" to "canon divergent."

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
We all know Commander Shepard's story, but what happens when you bring two crazy writers together to brainstorm the element that BioWare tossed-that Shepard was indoctrinated? Join us as we go through the well worn storyline we've all read about a million times, but with our own fun twists and turns to bring new life to an old tale. There will be drama. There will be loss. There will be fun.
And of course, there will be smut.
