Okay, as a necro-filler I'll try to depart from smut theme right now. Not that there'll be none - there will be and described with my best traditions, just not early in the fic. General idea - the universe doesn't spin around Shepard, people have their problems and get them solved even without her. General 'pairing' - Garrus and Samara, additional, suggested, possible - Garrus/Morinth, Garrus/Aria, Garrus/femShep. If you're interested in any, you may leave a comment - and maybe this fic would turn interactive. Original prompt: http://masseffectkink.livejournal.com/5020.html?thread=18124444#t18124444
Garrus/Samara 'Black and White' Pt1

It seemed like a rude joke heard from some batarian in docks - ‘Where the mercs swear louder, there is Archangel’ - wasn’t that far from reality. She strolled graciously through a ruined warehouse, stepping over lead-fed corpses. Blood Pack, she recognized the local name of the gang by the armor markings. Archangel’s people made a hell of a diversion here just a while ago - stench of explosives was still thick in the air. She headed to the half-collapsed further wall; that probably was the way they were retreating - she still picked up the sound of a distant firefight. Good, if she hurries, she still has a chance to encounter him

Detonation charges set off just in time, archway collapsed burying those rushing through it. Not that his squad really couldn’t stand against several extra vorcha - their operation was staged smooth and clear, but if they could leave with less pursue on their heels, why not using that opportunity. Visor picked quite a few thermal signals, frantically moving behind the dust veil, less than a single thermal clip worthy - and they will get away with another diversion free and easy. Perhaps the mercs grew soft and lazy here, with no laws to keep them on their toes, they weren’t even trying to put up a little challenge

He didn’t like it, at all. Trying to look nonchalant, he put his arms behind his back, signaling the rest of his team to leave. The unfocused gaze of wide-open silvery eyes on him was disquieting, he felt like she’s looking right through him, and his gesture wasn’t left unnoticed

She gave a glance around the place he led her to. She never knew Omega could have some nice spots. That was quite a view up here, and her companion visibly enjoyed it. She wondered if he comes here for something similar to her meditation

He was more than a foot taller than her, the height difference seemed so perceptible when they were standing that close. He took a step back, retreating from her personal space or reclaiming his own. His visor gleamed cyan from above

He returned to their base with mixed feelings and sharpened-up paranoid suspiciousness. “Do you know’er, Boss?” No. That was reckless to leave with her. “Sort of. All went smooth.” “Good, we were worrying.” Right. Any common sense should’ve stopped me. “Nothing to worry about. She asked for help.” “What she wants us for?” Not us. “That’ll be just me.” “Boss, are you sure?” No. “Yes. We’ll do just fine.” “Will it affect the operations planned?” I hope no. “No. The Blood Pack will receive every damn thing we’ve got on our schedule for them.” Yes. That thing about asari… “Run an extranet search for me. Try to find something about ‘Ardat-Yakshi’, a genetic defect of asari.” “Can you spell it, Boss?” Ugh… Aria just nodded curtly to greet Samara, showing her to take place on the sofa next to her. The Justicar didn’t blame her for discourteousness; she became used to her presence causing tension and almost estranged from keeping up the conversation herself

author here: yeah, I've always thought the ME universe must have some omni-alphabet/syllabary used for transcription of foreign words from so many languages since the translators can not provide the spelling. Although some words aren't that easy to spell.
thanks. this fic probably needs more Aria, but I'm not sure. as a character she lacks the subtlety not to intervene out of pure boredom in the general plot I currently have on my mind.

It’s been five days since Samara talked to Archangel. She stayed calm - he warned her he has plans of his own, and she believed he didn’t forget their conversation

I'm quite enjoing reading this save for one thing, and that's the odd formatting. Why no spaces between segments or quotation marks? As it is it's somewhat difficult to slog through, which sucks because this is pretty interesting.

Author here: IDK, there were no 'formatting standards' in the community rules... I'm pretty new here, never thought the formatting would be such a huge problem.

Still author here: hah, I figured out the 'quotation marks' part - totally escaped my mind that the punctuation rules in languages are different. not a native speaker, got used to this direct speech punctuation.

I never even realized other cultures didn't use them ^^; But thank you so much for incorporatig them, it makes it so much clearer to me. It'll be easier to enjoy now.

Also, fun girl-talk (or would that be centenarian-women talk?) because those two are almost as black and white as the title says, too.
