Bath - FShep/Garrus 1/5

Garrus tells himself that even without the rolling black outs, he would’ve dimmed the bathroom lights down low. There's something more intimate about the room when they’re both bathed in the oranges, reds, and browns of candlelight and what little emergency lighting filters in through the cracked glass of the windows, not to mention how the lack of direct light conceals the chipped tiles, the missing cabinet doors. It’s not perfect, it’s barely home, but there’s hot water and that’s a luxury most of the universe doesn’t have right now

His head nuzzles down into hers as he carries her, purring from the back of his throat for added calm. She’ll feel better soon, they both know, as soon as the hot water soaks into her muscles and the deep tissue damage that will only ever heal with time, if it ever heals at all. In the bathroom, he’s extra cautious with her, kneeling down beside the porcelain bath to gently lower Shepard in. His arms, his chest, are soaked by the end of it, but he pays it no mind, not even for a second, as he helps to adjust Shepard in the water, making sure she’s at a sustainable angle for herself up against the back of the tub. Steam rises off the water and Shepard shuts her eyes

“Better,” she murmurs as his arms move around her. This is as close as they’ve been since their reunion. They may sleep next to each other at night, but it’s not the same, it lacks the intimacy that they share right now

“You’re getting stronger now anyway, Shepard. It won’t be much longer.” He knows she believed that her recovery would be faster than this, that somehow all the pieces of machine she was already stuffed with would be enough to make the process quicker, but her progress had slowed, creeping along at a snail’s pace. It’s something, though, and so long as there’s improvement, however small, he’ll be content to keep her with him

Shepard moans an incoherent reply, nodding her head. The frustration of wanting this for so long and being unable to have it-partially due to her exhaustion and pain and partially due to the fact that sliding her hand between her thighs in a hospital room just felt wrong, even for her-had been unbearable

OP here: my god, this was all kinds of beautiful. It hurt to read, but it hurt so good. I'm honestly crying. The details in everything just blew me away, from the apartment to her insecurity to how genuine Garrus' love feels. Bookmarking the hell out of this because it's so wonderful.
Thank you so much for taking the time to fill this, and so quickly too; let me know if you'd like a certain prompt filled and I'll do my best to fill it :)

A!A here, and no, thank you! It was a wonderful prompt and wonderful imagery to go along with it. Some prompts just get you. As soon as I read it, I knew I had write it, and I just sat myself down and didn't leave until it was all done.
I don't have any prompts I can think of right now, but Garrus/Shep are my ME OTP, so if you see any prompts for them that catch your eye, consider this my words of encouragement to fill it!

I loved this. Weirdly, I've often imagined my Shep and Garrus sharing a moment very like that after the destroy ending so, yeah, I really enjoyed reading it. You have a lovely writing style.

Damn it! That was so freaking beautiful. Wonderful, amazing, heart wrenchingly beautiful. Now if you will excuse me, A!A, I need to go clean the tears off my glasses.

Speaking as someone who was once very sick and weak and painfully vulnerable (cancer) I can honestly say you touched on this situation so well. Feeling so exposed that you're raw and you just need to get better, hurry up, you know you can do more and be more and... it just hurts.
I loved this. I LOVED Garrus in this. What struck deepest (aside from Shepard not wanting him to touch her leg; that broke me) was when she asked if she'd ever be beautiful to him again. That she felt she was never what he really wanted.
Oooh, anon, this was so lovely to wake up to. Thank you. Thank you. Keep on writing. <3 <3

First and foremost, I wanted to say I'm so very glad you're well and doing better than you were before!
Thank you for your kind words on the story. It had a lot of emotions, even for me, and it's wonderful to hear how it may have affected someone else.
