Mass Effect Fanfiction

John Shepard, Garrus Vakarian, and Thane Krios Friendship

A/N: First Mass Effect story ever. Just little one shots about the guys, later chapters about others from Mass Effect but mostly Shepard, Garrus, and Thane. Shepard/Spacer/Sole Survivor/Paragon

Food

"I don't understand how you can eat that."

John Shepard looked up from dinner and raised an eyebrow.

"Really, John, look at it." Garrus said. He placed his tray down next to his Commanding Officer. "I mean look at it!"

"Garrus, I don't want to. I have to eat it. The last thing I want to do is look at it."

Thane chucked

"Do you even know what it is?"

"Nope and I'm not going to ask." Shepard sat back in his chair. "Mess Sergeant!"

Mess Sergeant Rupert Gardner snapped to attention. "Yes, sir?"

"Gardner, how much fresh food do we have?"

"Umm, none sir."

"John?"

"Yes, Garrus?"

"The meat just moved."

"No way."

"I believe Officer Vakarian is joking with you." Thane sat back in his chair watching the pair.

"Really, John it moved."

"Gardner, next time we dock remind me to restock."

Pets

"John, why a space hamster?"

"Because it's nice to come home to someone." John Shepard said. "Even if it is a hamster."

Shepard and Thane were sitting on the small sofa in Shepard's cabin.

"Garrus, don't poke the hamster, please. Will you come and sit down so we can play cards?"

"It is very nice to come home to someone." Thane said slowly.

Shepard gave him a small smile as Garrus sat down.

"You know I could have gotten a dog."

"A what?"

"A dog," Shepard was holding his hand above the ground. "You know woof woof? Thane you know what a dog is right?"

"Like a varren with fur? He asked.

"Kinda, but the dog doesn't try to eat you."

Alcohol

Shepard threw back a shot of alcohol. Garrus was beating him by three.

"Gentlemen I don't believe this a way to celebrate the end of a mission."

Shepard threw back another one.

Garrus threw back one of his own.

"Damn you Vakarian." Shepard let out a breath.

"Krios, just have a drink with us." Garrus slurred his words.

Shepard was now down by one.

Thane was down by seven.

Home

John Shepard found himself sitting in his cabin rereading the email his mother sent him.

She asked about his friends.

Friends.

More than one.

He just didn't know what to say. She had never asked about his friends before, just work.

He smiled as he thought of his friends.

One new friend but four old ones.

He told his mother about Doctor Chakwas yelling at Doctor Mordin Solus to get out of Med Lab.

Joker fighting with EDI.

Garrus and Thane shooting targets in the hanger.

Tali's never ending talks of the drive core.

With them it felt like home.

Armored

Garrus could never understand how both John and Thane could take getting hurt all the time.

They had no armor.

Sure, they had the armor they wore on the battlefield but they weren't made out of plates.

They were soft.

They could break something from jumping down a set of stairs.

Garrus wouldn't be able to stand it.

Garrus had seen both men take on fully grown Krogan without missing a beat.

It seems it's going to take more than one bullet to stop these two.

A/N: I must say I am pretty happy with it so far.
