Summary: This is a digital book filled with small chapters of nothing but banter, for the times we need to relax and forget that the galaxy as we know it is getting Reaped.

These are incredibly short and consist of mostly dialog. Some plot aspects may be kept from the game, but most of the reactions and interactions of the characters will be completely redefined.

This is also a Shepard x Garrus centric fic, therefore be ready for a lot of fluff.

Warnings: Swearing, innuendo, violence, and a lot of humor that many might not find that funny and more alienist than anything.

I would also suggest playing the game first. I hate spoilering, so I just want to prepare you.

Copyrightshit: I do not own the series. Bioware made it including the characters, settings, objects, science, textures, coding, voices, animations, guns and some plot points. - The maturity level of Shepard is all me though.

Bright Intermissions: A Collection of Snippets

Snippet 01: Welcome

"I guess I should say 'Welcome back, Commander'."

"Yeah. Great welcoming party, by the way."

"Hey not our fault, they were not invited."

"A party without kilometers-long-destructive-machines-aiming-to-wipe-out-the-galaxy just isn't a party."

"Hah! Right you are, Shepard - Ouch." The human male stumbled backwards after colliding with the back of an armored hero. "I know you've got plenty on your mind, but could you maybe give some kind of warning before you randomly freeze on spot?" He crinkled his brow in slight amusement at the woman who turned to face him.

"Sorry, Lt. You just... reminded me of someone." She smiled softly.

"Oh-hoh," He chittered with a grin. "Perhaps a charming soldier that swept you off your feet back in the good ol' days?" The Hispanic brunette quickly kept up with the fast strides of his commander as they made their way down the metal paths Normandy had to offer.

"You could say that." Shepard laughed and turned around to face her companion before leaving the CIC. "His name was Wrex."

"Wrex?" Vega frowned. "Wait, wasn't that a-" And the door swished closed in between them.

A/N: I always picture Wrex giving a great huffed "Hah!" to everything amusing Shepard says. I think she would pick up on that when others did it.
