Has there been fics dealing with sole-survivor!Shep having to deal with so many thresher maw's along her adventures? Perhaps not total break-down fear, but I'd like to see some sort of reaction from Shep. Say in ME1 she completely *over-kills* a Maw, or for a split-second freezes up and has a flash-back. Or nightmares come back later.

Title: The Bitter Angel
Summary: A young sentinel walked out of Akuze alone and managed to retain her gentle persona. But when she encounters a thresher maw years later, Shepard’s suppressed guilt and anguish turn her into a vengeful force that even she doesn’t recognize.

Beware the level plains around… For something lies in wait till found… So listen for the rumbling sound… The devil dwells beneath the ground.
x-x-x-x-xThe dusty wind howled against the exterior of the Mako as it sped bumpily across the desolate surface of Edolus. Shepard’s gloved hands on the controls tightened in response to the sense of foreboding clawing at her insides, and she heard her own breathing grow ragged in the confines of her helmet. The mission to locate a team of missing marines had summoned a series of memories that she’d spent years blocking in the darkest recesses of her mind. The last time an entire unit had disappeared, it was because fifty marines had been slaughtered and one had barely escaped alive

In the distance she saw a pillar of smoke climbing into the congested atmosphere, a sign that she would not be reporting positive results to Admiral Kahoku. Her unease increased when the wreckage of the Grizzly came into view, and she slowed down on the acceleration to try to catch any movement or sign of life. Unfortunately, the flying dust became thicker and partially obscured her visual, rendering her nearly blind as they proceeded forward. Stronger torrents in the open land interfered with her already unsteady steering, and she cursed the mechanics of the infuriating vehicle, promising it a similar fate as its burning predecessor

She restored the camera to its original position and hesitated, reluctant to go on but aware that they needed to search for survivors. The wreckage was still far ahead, which told her that the single corpse had likely been flung all this way by something inherently powerful. Steeling herself, she gripped the controls and started driving again as Garrus stared at her

Shepard heard the tremor before she felt it. Wrex recognized it as well, and he unleashed a stream of profanity as he urged Garrus to hurry and fix whatever had gone wrong with the Mako. A vaguely familiar sensation welled up within her, spreading something close to restless fright throughout her system

Romance optional, if so, Garrus preferred~!
