N7 Month Day 4: Dive

(AO3 Link - Garrus and Sidonis have a heart-to-heart. Thanks to @ballofbitter for the idea!)

"So, how did you end up on Omega?" Sidonis asks.

They're sitting in a dive bar in the Tuhi District (to be fair, every bar on Omega is a dive bar), celebrating a successful job disrupting an Eclipse weapons shipment, and Garrus is just drunk enough to answer the question. "I had this CO," he starts slowly. "She was… not like any CO I've ever had before. She didn't always do things the 'right' way, but she did what she thought was right. She listened to her crew, helped us all with whatever we needed, though she was a very private person herself. She even-" He cuts himself off with a shake of his head - the story about Saleon is maybe giving too much away. "Well. Anyway. It feels like she changed us all for the better, just by being around her."

"You keep saying 'was'," Sidonis observes carefully.

Garrus takes a long drink. "Yeah. She died. And the galaxy kept spinning. After serving under her, it was hard to feel like anything I was doing mattered. So I looked for somewhere I could make a difference. Do some of what she did." He sighs. "Hard to know sometimes if I'm succeeding, even when we pull off something like we did tonight. After all, there are more shipments where that one came from."

Sidonis rests a hand on Garrus's shoulder. "Hey man, you wouldn't have gotten that nickname of yours if you weren't making a difference."

"Hm. Maybe you're right." He drains the rest of his drink and stands up, paying his tab. "I think I've had enough for the night. Going to head back."

Sidonis gives him a flick of his mandible and stands as well. "Right behind you, boss."

🔫 (For whoever you’re feeling most!)

Send me a 🔫 for a starter where my muse has been shot. (X)

No matter how many times Sidonis had been shot, it never got any easier to handle, blue blood and searing pain a stark reminder that one never really built up an immunity to bullet wounds. With a clicky-tongued curse, translators unable to pick up on the turian word with how quietly it had been hissed, Sidonis clamped a taloned hand over the new gash marring the scutes that plated over his midsection, his blue blood quick to soak into the fabric of his shirt as he let himself slump to the floor with a heavy thump. "Spirits, can never catch a break..."

Footsteps managed to snap Sidonis from his muttered complaints as he checked over his wound, the gate of which either being that of a human or an asari-

No, it was a human, the blonde hair and lack of blue made that rather obvious as the toe of their boot rounded from the corner to the turian's right. He didn't say a word as he stared at the...woman? Yes, he was pretty sure this was a female of the species. He hadn't much interaction with their kind growing up on Omega, but he'd seen enough to identify that much.

Now the question was, who was this woman and why was she here? Had she just come investigating when she heard a shot? Or was she perhaps with the human who had shot Sidonis in the first place after they swiped his credit chit. That's what he got for fighting back, he supposed. Sometimes he forgot that not every human was as weak as their appearance led most species to believe. They may be mostly water, but they could still hold their own when things got tough.

Eyes staying locked with the woman's, Sidonis gave a nervous twitch of his mandibles before he ventured to speak with a small wave of his free hand. "Um...hello?"

Open RP - Lantar Sidonis

Sidonis could hear voices all around him, people were crowding him, too close, too close- Where was he? He couldn't see, everything was just white noise- Where was he? His back hit the floor, feet scuffled against the metal as he scrambled to sit up, carapace hitting the wall behind him hard. Where was he?

Not Omega. Please not Omega.

Loud footsteps all around him, a gunshot? No, too hollow, not enough reverb off the walls surrounding him, crushing him- The clink of glasses and- laughter? Not Omega then, there's no laughter on Omega. No joy. Just pain.

Sidonis took a deep breath, closing his eyes to try and quell the nausea from his swimming vison. He focused on the world around him- not Omega he reminded himself. The ding of an elevator, the humming of shuttles just outside the window above, the telltale scuttle of a Keeper as it moved its way past him. The Citadel?

Not Omega.

Sidonis repeated those words like a prayer, trying to figure out how to breath. Not Omega.

He heard footsteps approach him, closer than all the rest. His talons dug into his head as he willed his eyes to open, to see who had approached. If it was C-sec again-

Muffled words as if heard through water tried to fight their way into his ears, they didn't sound like they were spoken by an irate officer. Sidonis wanted to open his eyes but- Not Omega. He muttered it to himself a few times, not even aware he was doing so.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, he managed to slowly open his eyes. He didn't dare look up, just in case the one speaking to him was one of them. "I-...Can you tell me where I am?"

Fanfiction Recs 2022

I’ve read a bunch of fabulous fics so far this year and I wanted to shout them out since we are past the halfway point for 2022. Some are old, some are new, some are finished, and others are still active. Under a read more because of length. 

I am reading some others fics currently so I’ll probably have another post later in the year for the others I enjoyed.

HEAVY FIRE by @spicyshimmy

Rating: M Pairing: mShenko Summary:  Actually based on the merc!Shepard and Spectre!Alenko prompt on the kinkmeme. Earthborn Shepard never makes it into the Alliance. Merc life suits him just fine, as does teaming up with C-Sec officer Garrus Vakarian every now and then. And then he meets Lieutenant Kaidan Alenko, poster boy for doing things by the books. It’d been a long day, but at least Garrus was buying.

Cantata by @swaps55

Rating: M Pairing: Pre-mShenko Summary: Whatever Kaidan had been expecting from the Butcher of Torfan, this isn’t it.There’s nothing krogan-like about the soldier sitting at the table. The lethal gaze from the vids is watery and unfocused. The empty bottle in his hand isn’t a gun, but he clutches it like one. When the bartender delivers a fresh one Shepard doesn’t look up, merely pops the top off and takes another quick pull.This isn’t good. ~Sam Shepard and Kaidan Alenko, in the years before the Normandy. AKA, the slowest of slow burns.

Encroachment by @n0rmandysr1

Rating: T Pairing: FemShepley Summary:  If Emilia Shepard had known what was waiting for her aboard the SSV Normandy, she might have never walked through the airlock. But for all the struggles ahead, she has a good ship and a good crew. ME1, Paragade Shepard. Multiple character POVs, expanded minor crew and a focus on the off-camera moments. Slowburn f!Shepley.

Sucker’s Luck by @hanarinhightown

Rating: M Pairing: Garrus Vakarian x Lantar Sidonis Summary: Exploring Garrus’ unhealthy relationship with obsession and black/white thinking. Beginning with his time on Omega as he struggles to come to terms with his past, his growing anxiety, his grief about losing Shepard, and how intertwined his relationship to her was with his obsession with Saren. He knows he’s behaving recklessly but if he is going to throw his life away, he can make it mean something. He’s done living his life for himself, but too proud to throw it away for himself either.

Enter Sidonis. The story of Archangel: Angst, ambition, love, betrayal, revenge, forgiveness, acceptance, and the grey spaces in between.

Building off of Mass Effect: Homeworlds #3, story starts on Omega and builds through the plots of Mass Effect 2 and 3. Garrus x Sidonis. Will update tags as they become relevant.

Collide by @mallaidhsomo

Rating: E Pairing: Ashley Williams/Kaidan Alenko Summary:  Ashley and Kaidan's domestic bubble on Horizon is burst. Ashley sees a ghost.

Orbit by @eluvisen

Rating: T Pairing: Female Revan/Carth Onasi Summary: A series of moments in Carth and Velire’s relationship as they’re thrown together by forces beyond their control.

this madness of the heart by @sleepswithvillains

Rating: E Pairing: Female Sith Warrior/Malavai Quinn Summary: Malavai Quinn grew up on stories about serving the Sith. He devoured the great literary epics about the Force-blind soldier, being taken into the service of a Sith Lord. The hero falls to his knees, professes his devotion, pledges his service—and after he proves himself worthy, the Sith takes him into their home, under their protection—a treasured companion, a trusted ally.But he knew now how that story really ended.

He’d knelt on the filthy floor of the Balmorran spaceport and pledged himself to a Sith’s service—earnestly, half feeling like he’d walked out an epic poem himself—and look where that had gotten him. He’d been mocked, belittled—and his service had been cast aside as worthless. For three years, he dedicated nearly every waking minute of his life to the success of both Lord Baras and the Sith warrior, and all it had yielded was forty-seven pieces of shrapnel from his knee to his hip.And now, at forty-one, he finds himself in dire financial straights—with no choice but to enter an arranged marriage in the hopes of saving his family's estate. When a young, rising Sith Lord makes an offer he can't afford to refuse, he has no choice but to accept—no matter how many terrifying rumors surround her.

Regarding Red by @kalliesa

Rating: M Pairing: Female Shepard/Garrus Vakarian Summary:  Aria has hired an interesting new enforcer; a human soldier with no memory. She is skilled in combat and infiltration, and has a hunger to eradicate the evil from Omega. Archangel has a similar mission. Can they work together? Or will they just get in each other's way?

The End Is Where We Begin by @shadoedseptmbr & @nightmarestudio606​

Rating: E Pairing: Female Shepard/Male Shepard Summary: People meet and paths cross all the time, but in her experience, they don't always intersect again. So when they do and this Mark fella is in her crosshairs again, Aedan Shepard is curious to see what will come of it in the end.

A Hundred Battlefields by @iberiandoctor​

Rating: M Pairing: mShenko Summary: Through the ages, in different lives, they’d fought by each other’s sides, and died in each other’s arms, on a hundred battlefields before this one.

The Shepard’s Dog by @cryptid-jack​

Rating: M Pairing: mShenko Summary: Devastated and suffering a bad case of survivor's guilt after the destruction of the SR1, Kaidan is offered a chance at redemption when Liara reaches out for his help to recover Shepard's body. When Cerberus claims they can bring the commander back, Kaidan and Liara agree to hand him over on one condition: Kaidan goes with them to keep watch over Shepard while they work.

The Kiss of Judas

@hanarinhightown and I decided to give each other a new year's gift in the form of classical art pieces re-imagined with turians. Let's just say we're both a bit feral rn 💕🦀💕🦀💕

Go check out hanar's gift inspired by Michelangelo's Pietà, I've been looking at it for hours

Also the original renaissance art piece by Giotto for comparison

Hi it's 1AM and I'm having Garrus/Sidonis thoughts

Did you know Sidonis was originally supposed to help Garrus's family off of Palaven because ooooh booooy

---

Lantar Sidonis stood alone, mandibles working, fists clenched and staring determinedly at a fixed spot on the floor.

It never got easier; even after getting off Palaven, impossible for most, the war still raged on. He barely had time to process what happened, it all mashed together in his brain in a discordant rush of adrenaline and fear. When he remembered the first time he saw the two he saved, blurry forms through the smoke, but their faces stark - wide eyes, blue markings - his throat grew tight.

Identical to someone he once called his closest friend.

But that was another life, wasn't it?

At first, he didn't dare to believe it was really them, no, that was impossible. He had thought the smoke and the firelight were playing tricks on his eyes. The resemblance was a coincidence - a horrible illusion to his guilt, the face that haunted his dreams every night, let alone every moment of his waking hours.

But the name - Vakarian. It stuck in his throat, his chest, froze him in place like he had been skewered. An auditory hallucination. It had to be.

But he had helped them, hallucination or not, as much as he could. It was the least he could do with this miraculous second chance, generously granted to him, unworthy of it as he was.

And so he found himself here, at the end of all things, witnessing a joyous reunion he wouldn't dare partake in. Not that he was allowed to in the first place. 

Seeing Garrus for the first time since…everything that happened, was less jarring and gut-wrenching and more hallow. Numb. Dead.

The first time he had felt alive in ages was leading those refugees off Palaven and yet it almost wasn't worth having to face the consequences now. It was worth it, of course, but as he locked eyes with the one person left alive despite his cowardice, a walking, talking reminder of everything he hated about himself, he almost prayed for that bullet.

Accross the room, Garrus finally broke from his family, a father and sister Lantar has come to know fondly until he knew their true relation, that is. Garrus turned toward him, shrunken and cowardly in his corner, and stared him down. There was no fear, no reluctance. He didn't even seem truly angry; that was the part that rattled Lantar the most. 

A few steps closer, and he fully came into focus. Silver-gray plates and cobalt blue markings layered thick across his nose, cheek plates, and mandibles. A face he never thought he'd see again. A face he never wanted to see again. It turned his stomach. 

Garrus fixed ice-blue eyes on him. "Sidonis."

Lantar froze. The tone that rang in his ears was jarring, cold, unfamiliar. He could almost hear his given name on Garrus's tongue as he had a thousand times. But it was clear now. As if even the sight of him now disgusted him. Lantar - a name he would never call him ever again.

Garrus's mandibles twitched, once, twice. He opened his mouth, but it took a second for any sound to escape it, as though he'd forgotten how. Lantar braced himself.

The words came, dry and hoarse. "Thank you…for saving my family." 

But that's not what his subvocals were saying. They were as loud and clear as if he were screaming it into his face:

I do not forgive you.

Lantar lowered his head, cowing in the presence of such a statement. He swallowed, and it stung. His primary vocals couldn't work even if he had wanted them to. Instead, he only managed a weak, subharmonic hum. 

I'm sorry. 

It didn't matter, of course, and he knew it didn't. No apology would ever be enough. 

Rightfully so.

Ooooooold unfinished Mass Effect comic. It’s been years so I figure I’m never going to finish here so here it goes.

Initially I didn’t have much of an opinion on Lantar Sidonis. Then the comics came out and they were terrible and contradictory, but Garrus’s short offered a potentially interesting dynamic that hadn’t been present in the game-only narrative.

Lantar Sidonis wasn’t just some kid who’d sold out Archangel. Lantar Sidonis was the effin co-founder of Archangel.

Obviously the game-story was written before the comic so like, it kind of doesn’t make a lot of sense, but I took Lantar and ran off with the backstory anyways because it’s so effin delicious.

If Lantar Sidonis was the CO-FOUNDER of Archangel and if he was, in fact, tortured like was implied in the comic, then the dynamic between Garrus and Lantar is significantly more interesting than what the game presents.

Lantar would have know what he was getting into by founding the Archangel, there’s no way he wouldn’t have known. He wasn’t just someone signing up to Archangel because it was cool, he helped MAKE Archangel. 

This obviously complicates things, like, why the hell would the Blue Suns let someone as dangerous to them as the co-founder of Archangel walk. Also why would Lantar be using the Blue Suns/Harkin to disappear when he’s been tortured?

Very at odds with game-canon, BUT. I like the dynamic enough that took off running with it, because this means that Garrus in kill-choice FUCKED UP.

And it also means Garrus in the mercy-kill choice FUCKED UP A LOT. And now it means he’s gotta live with having killed a dear friend.

This was a very fun comic before I ran out of steam, fun experiments in color scheme and whatnot. Last page is supposed to be Garrus waking up from the nightmare in his bedroom with Lantar’s autopsy report in the foreground, implying Garrus discovering all the old torture-related injuries that Lantar had endured from the Blue Suns.

Shoots up in my chair, Sidonis being Garrus’s ex pre being recruited in Me2 is so delicious for his growth and dynamic when it comes to him eventually falling in love with Shep and Thane. Like obv Garrus would have so much heartbreak from the betrayal itself but when it comes from someone he genuinely loved? That resistance to let someone in? Heckie chef kiss I am thinkin bout it

Also I really love the idea of Garrus quietly whispering, “I loved you.” When he’s being talked down from killing him by Shep with Sidonis and Shep both hearing him 🥺

I AM THINKING RIGHT NOW
