A human and a turian were already kinda/sorta attracted to each other, but didn't want to act on it due to outside pressures - which thanks to Shepard and Garrus are now gone. Or maybe they just got together after the war because the saviors of the galaxy made it popular. Alternatively, Shep and/or Garrus meet the couple - or just one of the two - who can't thank them enough for making it possible.

There were more injured soldiers than there were doctors and nurses after the war, which was how Nic found herself holding up a one-legged turian with carbon monoxide poisoning as he coughed phlegm into a basin. The doctors had taken care of the worst of his injuries, but lasting damage to his lungs and daily hyperbaric oxygenation meant that he was weak and often disoriented. He didn’t manage to speak to her properly until her third day with him

She found herself wrangling extra food for him when most dextro-amino food proved to be tightly rationed. Many of the turians who fought in the final battle against the Reapers were looking at long stays on Earth due to the destruction of the mass relays; of the ships that were functional, most of them were committed to returning important members of the Hierarchy to Palaven first, then those turians with family there second. Amicus, she discovered, fit neither of those categories

Nicola quickly found that Amicus became as familiar to her as any of the human patients. She got used to his grey, plated skin. She got used to his soft-spoken manner and the permanent rasp in his voice. She got used to being the one beneath his arm as he slowly adapted to his prosthetic. And visiting him became not only familiar, but the most anticipated part of her day

Amicus awoke that night to the familiar sound of one of the patients having a nightmare, but his eyes snapped open when he realised that the little moans of fear were coming from right beside him. He looked to his side to find that Nic had fallen asleep in the chair beside him. Her brow was wrinkled and her eyes roamed feverishly behind their lids

Amicus’ walked more, and Nic kept helping him. He was doing very well on his own, but Nic told herself that she was there, with a hand on his elbow or his arm over her shoulders, if he needed her. Little contacts that seemed to ground them both. They were becoming inseparable

Her apartment block stood lonely between two destroyed buildings; clearly it was only luck that it was still upright. The bottom floor of the building had seen action. Its stairwell had been hastily repaired and there were bullet holes and blast marks on the walls. The upper floors were remarkably unscathed except for a few fallen pot-plants and broken windows

He hadn’t expected it, but maybe he should have. He awoke once again to the sounds of Nic’s night terrors. Using his cane to raise himself from bed, he hop-clicked out of her bedroom to where she lay curled up on the couch. As he neared her he heard her muttering, “No, no, no
