My headcanon is that he went there with a vague notion of doing some good but mostly to die, but then the reality of Omega and the people there needing help gave him something to live for. It's only after his squad died that he went full on suicidal.

As another shakarian writer, my word I am jealous of how fantastic you are! Looking up to you in a big way :) (And super super loving everything about this fic, AND loving that you're making it looong!)

Vortash was at the door, rifle aimed at the exact point where Butler was hollering to be let in. Garrus keyed in the door code and folded his arms.
“Boss!” Butler bellowed. He swung his arm from the turian’s shoulders and beamed. The scarred skin at his mouth puckered and twisted. “Oi, boss, got us a new recruit!”
“He’s not drunk,” Shepard answered before Garrus knew he’d thought the question. “Three beers only. Wouldn’t even get him buzzed.”
Butler and the turian shuffled in. Butler looked like he was just starting to realize his mistake, and the turian couldn’t decide where to put his hands. The door slid shut and locked behind them. The only sound was four new thermal clips being loaded into four different guns.
“So,” said Garrus. He let his voice go slow and cold. “You brought a friend over.” Butler glanced away, and Garrus turned his attention to the turian. “Sorry about the mess. If I’d known you were coming, I’d have cleaned up

Garrus would have done the same as Butler if he had been the one to meet Sidonis in the bar. While his hand-to-hand wasn’t near Garrus’ or Butler’s level, he was much better at talking his way out of potential trouble.
He could stand toe-to-toe with a krogan and not flinch. Always a plus when they went up against the Blood Pack.
Sidonis won Weaver over in the time it took to compliment her latest mods, which in turn won over Sensat and Grundal. Garrus was sure there was more to that odd trio than he knew, but Shepard wasn’t telling.
“Ask them if you’re so curious,” she said. They were at the foot of the bridge, four hours away from what counted as dawn on Omega. “I’m not spilling any secrets

"They stood with their arms touching. Every few words, their hands would brush and linger. Her skin was a few degrees cooler than his."
I love that you never even come out and say anything about the two of them maybe-sort-of entertaining thoughts of a more than friendly nature, but this sentence is so loaded that it's right there in the way they act. Or that could just be me projecting. Either way, I'm in lesbians with this story.

A!A here! That's exactly what I wanted to get across -- I see Shepard and Garrus as being much more comfortable with actions than talking things out, and that they'd communicate as much through gestures like these than actually spelling out their feelings. So you're not projecting at all :) Welcome to my headcanon!
Thank you for reading! I'm so glad you're enjoying it <3

A!A, you never disappoint. Every time I see an update to any one of your fills (and I don't get notifications since I don't have an LJ account so I check diligently and tirelessly multiple times a day :P) I squeal a little. Well, at least in my mind. I am at least 10 years past the age when squealing is socially acceptable. Thanks for sharing your beautiful talent and I eagerly await the next chapter.

Garrus and Sidonis had stayed down in the common room after the rest of the squad hit their bunks, drinking and comparing notes on their civil service days. Shepard watched from the chair he’d come to think of as hers“You like him

It's been so interesting to write a much younger, harder Shepard -- usually my fics involve her when she's more relaxed and happy, and as much as I hate hurting her, seeing her grow has been fascinating! Thank you :)

“I’m going to ignore how that translated.”
Pffft, ha. I'm gonna assume this sort of thing happens a lot.
