Well, it's not much yet, but it's a start. :) Outright Shakarian in the far future, UST in the medium future, and lots of friendship and awkwardness between F!Shep and Garrus in the near future when they meet. Enjoy ~

“Space - the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations…to boldly go where no man has gone before.”Out of the surrounding speakers, a cheerful and familiar theme started to play. Several crew members seated around the screen started humming or whistling along, and a few swayed playfully in time with the music. From where she stood watching the enraptured crew, Commander Shepard shook her head in amusement. Star Trek was about two hundred years old, and somehow it never got old

It was supposed to be a vacation of sorts for Shepard - a reward, even. After a long six-month assignment in sub-Saharan Africa that ended with her single-handedly holding off a terrorist attack - earning her a promotion to Lieutenant Commander and a Star of Terra - a leisurely cruise through the Sol system sounded like a wonderful change of pace. Humanity had made incredible strides in spaceflight in the last fifty years, with many great nations committing resources and manpower to expanding into this final frontier. Already there was a growing settlement on Mars, and recent advances in spacecraft technology would advance the rate at which progress could be made

An hour later, Shepard was woken up by an insistent ping from her comm system. Pushing her hair out of her eyes, she glared at the flashing red light and squinted at the clock display on the counter nearby. She shook off her irritation and took a deep, calming breath before hitting the comm

It took time for messages this far out in space to reach Alliance Command. As a child, Shepard remembered reading about the Mars Rover expeditions at the beginning of the 21st century, and how it took three days for each directive to reach the little wheeled machines that roamed the surface of the red planet, 50 million miles away from Earth. Today, from Pluto - three billion miles away - it took just a few hours, but it still meant that like the rovers of days past, the Normandy could be effectively operating alone for long periods of time.
There hadn’t been any reports of irregularities from the crew monitoring the ship, so Shepard awaited her orders. When they came, they didn’t surprise her. “Shepard, we don’t know what this is. We’ve never seen anything like it. But the Normandy is the only ship we’ve got in a position to investigate. It would be a while before we can get someone else out there. So try to learn what you can from it, but don’t take any unnecessary risks. Hackett out.”Well, there it was. She announced it to the

He returned not long after, grim-faced, with his orders: to take his ship through the newly opened relay and investigate. No contact was to be made; it was merely a survey, the Councilors had stressed. The memory of the Yahg debacle was still too fresh in the Council’s memory; no one wanted a repeat of the same incident that had left several of their ambassadors massacred

a!a - ugh. the things the me3 codex didn't tell me. thanks, anon. i'll patch that up on the tumblr account (which gets all the spellcheck treatment too). since i'm baseing everything on just one playthrough of the three games and the wiki, there's probably going to be a good number of other inconsistencies with the canon going forward that i don't notice (or know about, in this situation) and i may always not be able to fix everything. but i appreciate the heads up!
