I was skimming through the codex the other day and it really hit me for the first time that it happened when Shepard was still in those important developmental years when shit can seriously stick with you as you grow into a fully defined person. Especially shit like all the adults around you being terrified about hideous alien monsters appearing without warning to kill lots of people. In toddler Shepard's mind the monsters under her bed and things that go bump in the night end up taking the form of turians

Vakarian settled into the Normandy almost invisibly. He kept to himself, spending most of his time in the cargo hold. Guiltily, Shepard suspected that he had picked up on the crew’s unease around him. Wrex had parked himself in the cargo hold as well, and she had worried that a fight was brewing there, but nothing ever came of it. When she made her rounds, she made it a point to talk with him when she talked to the others, determined not to let her discomfort with his appearance interfere.

She left then to clean up and make her report. When she made the rounds a couple of hours later, the diagnostics terminal was set up at the Mako’s side next to a neat row of tools and parts. All she could see of Vakarian was his boots sticking out from under the vehicle. She left him alone and checked up on Williams, who was trying to figure out what to do with herself with only one working arm

Love this. Something about your writing style just really appeals to me and I always love a bit of FemShep/Garrus.

I like that reference to the gloves. I like it when writers make a point of mentioning cultural differences like that.

Moooaaaarrr

I love it how you show she has to MAKE herself act reasonable around him, and can’t wait to see how their relationship develops.
