She nodded,"Yeah thanks for watching the movie with me tonight, you're an awesome friend," At that moment his entire world shattered. He'd called her his friend. Just his friend. It wouldn't have hurt as much if he didn't know about his feelings for her. But he did and she didn't, so they were just friends until he could confess. This was going to be a while. ~~~~~ Garrus is madly in love with Shepard, but she's oblivious and he's a hopeless romantic. He doesn't know much about human romance, but he was really trying. Throw in traditional Garrus awkwardness and turian jealousy and you'll have my story. Join Garrus and watch him fail time and time again, but never giving up so he can win the oblivious lover.

Post destroy, Shepard and Garrus have to begin a new life... From scratch. (Not related to mass effect relays, this is not a prequel) After destroying the reapers, Shepard wakes up in a hospital room, where she recovered from her injuries, only to discover: 1.she's suffering from partial amnesia and 2. the world she saved is still as broken as she is: stranded aliens, the council based on earth and one of her friends possibly plotting to betray her.

You CAN'T: finish writing it, use the plot for your own fic, repost it on your profile and rewrite it. No. yes, in this headcanon shepard is named after her mother (Hannah) It happens -some people are narcissistic like that.
