It's mid-1950s or so, and FemShep is unexpectedly visited one night by an alien invader, which just happens to be Garrus on a recon mission. Though she's not military trained, she still has no problem trying to take down this alien sneaking into her room.
Garrus is so intrigued that he continues to return to visit this strange Earthling, and they develop a secret adorable and provocative relationship.
Super points if Shepard has been harboring a secret interest in aliens since she heard the War of the Worlds broadcast when she was young. Also would love if Garrus finds the 50s style emphasis of tiny waists on human women attractive. Also, props for including the title song somewhere.
Here goes, anons. I think this is gonna be a biggun.

Jane Shepard bolted upright, all sleepiness falling away as the shockwave rattled the foundations of her house. She jumped out of bed muttering, “I swear to god, if the cops are here again I’m gonna send them all home with lead in their asses.” It wouldn’t be the first time the local fuzz had busted her (an occupational hazard that those who made illegal moonshine occasionally had to endure), but they usually waited until most decent people had had a chance to get breakfast. This, though-this was different and a part of her recognized that even as she shook the last of the sleep-daze from her brain. She went to the window and pulled aside the drapes just enough to peek out into the darkened yard. Nothing stood out at first, but then she saw smoke rising from just behind the tree line

A real alien! she thought. There’s an alien ship with an honest-to-god alien in it in my woods! She was vaguely aware that this was not the typical reaction someone should have to a spiky metallic alien from space, but she had grown up on comic books and sci-fi double features much to her parent’s chagrin. Bless them, they had tried so hard to get her to fit into the stereotypical “girl” role, but she had made a career out of rebelling against the mold. Her brother John had had a hand in that, too, ensuring that she’d grow up a tomboy. He was always dragging her into the barn to try out the new rope swing he’d set up, or going drag racing with his friends in the middle of the night (those same friends had introduced her to her first liquor at the age of twelve). When he’d volunteered to fight the Germans, she had joined up with her fellow Rosie the Riveters to help out the war effort and had been right at home wearing pants and machining parts for tanks. As soon as he’d gotten back from Europe, John had immediately bought a few

He looked confused at first, trying to figure out how to form her name with his mouth. “Gah . . . Zhayne Keh . . . Kyeppard.” Shepard nodded and smiled at him. He repeated it again a little more clearly and pointed at her, the excitement showing on his face. She laughed out loud and lowered the shotgun, the absolute craziness of the night's events making her giddy, and he trilled at her in a way that sounded like he was laughing, too

A!A, the way you set up your Shepard I completely buy it- her upbringing with the boys and comics and independence, her time in the factories during the war, her personality? She's fucking beautiful and perfect and nothing here feels contrived, I love this woman hardcore- so have some fanart! http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a69/Velasa/Bribes%20for%20the%20Kmeme/50sawesomesauceShep.jpg
Also, her brother John being there? Awesome. And Garrus going along with it in a thoroughly why-the-hell-not attitude? Awesome. Stalking this.
Oh my god,you guys! Not only do I wake up to five comments I get artwork too?!? I love you guys so much, you certainly do know how to warm a girl's heart. (Btw, I love the file name--awesome sauce Shep, indeed.) ;)

She made a stop at the water pump to fill a bucket and carried it up the five steps to the wide wraparound porch. When she started shifting around the flashlight and shotgun to free one of her hands, Garrus reached past her and opened the door for her. She noticed that he had only three fingers and it looked like they were tipped with short, curved talons but he was wearing black gloves under his gauntlets so she couldn’t be sure. She kicked off her boots and, after a long pause during which she decided that if he was going to kill her he’d have done it by now and buckshot probably wouldn’t penetrate his armor anyway, put the shotgun back in the closet. When she turned around Garrus was still outside on the porch scraping the dirt from the bottoms of his boots with the shoe brush. It was such a small gesture of consideration, but he earned a lot of points with her for it

Suddenly his left forearm lit up with bright orange light and Shepard nearly dropped her tea in surprise. It was some sort of translucent glove made of light with a screen that hovered in midair a few inches over the glowing gauntlet. Alien characters scrolled down the display and Garrus’ fingers danced over the row of buttons on his arm (they weren’t really buttons at all, though-more like he passed his talons through the orange-outlined pictures of buttons to activate them), then he waved his hand over two tiny circular things on the table. When he was done, the glove disappeared and he held up the tiny devices and looked at her, pointing first to them and then to the side of his head. Shepard shook her head, confused, and Garrus sighed. He went over and knelt down next to her, impossibly close, and her heart started trip-hammering away in her chest. In the bright light of her living room he was even more formidable and she was a little nervous about having him so close to her, no matter how sure she was that he meant her no
