Dark, sadistic, and probably even evil. John Shepard never wanted to be these things, but a life of pain and loss has twisted him into a man far past renegade. Follow the story of a broken soldier as he is forced to face the things he has done. He won't find peace or attornment, but maybe he can find meaning in trying to save life, as opposed to taking it.

This a Re-upload of a fic by a deleted Author named The Sneaky Fox, I just found it after a bit of digging and thought a fic this good should be brought back. His summary follows: Set post-ME3, it focuses on the struggles both Shepard and Tali must face to find their way back to one another, and build the home they've always dreamed of having. M for language and adult themes.

John Shepard works in C-Sec with Garrus, but he also has a sister, Commander Jane Shepard. Garrus never even knew John had a sister. How will things change when they both join her in her fight against Saren? Starts in ME1 with plans to continue beyond. Strong base around Shepard (F) x Garrus, but will also include Shepard (M) x Tali.
