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.

Shepard stared silently into her tea as if it could give her an answer that wouldn’t sound overly sentimental. “I spent a lot of time as a kid staring up at the stars, wondering if we were all alone in the universe. Now that I know we’re not, I’m going to get as much out of the experience as I can. It’s not like humans are going to master space travel in my lifetime; when am I gonna get another chance like this?” She looked up at him and gave him a small smile. “Besides, you seem like one of the good guys. Anything I can do to help out, just name it

Silly character limits. __________
As intriguing as humans were to study, Garrus had never come into direct contact with one before. His instructors had expounded at great length about the dangers of falling prey to humans, all the terrible things they’d done to their own people, their tendency to shoot first and ask questions later. He would never have guessed that his first encounter would go quite like this. It was almost frightening how easy it was to talk to her, and she had a curiosity that matched or exceeded his own. When he had first laid eyes on her in the woods she was scared, sure, but she hadn’t screamed or run away or shot him. And now she trusted him enough to sleep in his presence; it was strangely endearing.
He settled back on the couch across from her and tried to get comfortable. After a few moments of attempting to establish a connection to the Fearless he gave up and tried not to think about how relieved that made him as he drifted off to sleep.

Humbled A!A here, guys, thanks for all the comments! You're really helping me keep up the momentum. I keep going over the story so far and finding little things that I could change (Shep has an empty mug, then suddenly there's tea in it again) but hopefully it's not too jarring. I'll probably post a cleaned-up copy to ff.net when this is over. Anyway, updates ahoy!__________

They sat down at the table and she watched him eat. His mouth didn’t close completely, so he had to tilt his head back and swallow each bite with minimal chewing. Those teeth of his looked more suited to piercing and tearing, and so did the rest of him for that matter. Maybe turians were what the dinosaurs would have evolved into had they not been wiped out. There were evolutionary biologists out there who would kill for the chance to study him . . . and that was one hell of a sobering thought. If she’d learned anything about human nature from watching the news reels showing the concentration camps in Auschwitz and Dachau, it was that for every person with good intentions there was someone else willing to exploit them. No, she had to play this very carefully from here on out

So the scene of Shep singing in the kitchen (and as far as I'm concerned dancing badly and shaking her butt) while Garrus is just leaning in the doorway smiling made me so stupid happy I decided to do a little thumbnail for ya, because doing a whole image would require so many period refs and perspective checks I would lose my mind
Art!anon just realized she didn't check Shep's outfit before doodling/coloring, but alac we'll just have to live with cute yellow dress. Um... it fit my color scheme better?

... And then I sat there looking at it going "damn, just a little color maybe...." and this happened an hour later.
