Summary
He’s staring at her and he’s staring at her hard, and he isn’t doing anything to hide it. Why should he, either way? There’s something about her pale green eyes, about her nose and her plump lips, and though there’s no thing such as perfection, everything about Lin is as close to perfect as it gets.
Beautiful, and Tenzin has felt like this for as long as he can remember, even if he doesn’t know how to put those thoughts into actions or words.
Lin and Tenzin take an important step together, and that changes everything and nothing at the same time.

Summary
When it comes down to it, the prefab isn't what either of them are used to anymore: their quarter on the Normandy is much bigger, much homier, and both of them have managed to turn it into a true home, but, at the end of the day, it’s the best either of them have gotten in a while. It’s theirs and theirs only, and as long as Shepard and Garrus have each other, it’s enough.
After the end of the war, there's a lot Garrus and Shepard need to figure out. Luckily for both of them, they still have each other.

Summary
Neither Shepard nor Garrus know how it started, and at some point, both of them have stopped caring. None of it matters anymore, after all: Shepard is right there, staring right into his soul, and, not for the first time, he blinks first, losing their secret staring contest.
Sometimes, all either of them need is a kiss. For good fortune, obviously.

The Bestest Detectives by tropicalius

Summary
Canon divergent fics for To the Moon series. Mostly RosaWatts and mostly in chronological order. Spoilers for Impostor Factory.
Update (10/08/2024): Since The Beach Episode came out, this series doesn't follow canon anymore and will work towards fixing the events of The Beach Episode. There'll probably be four main fics that are part of this updated 'verse.
I've since changed "canon compliant" to "canon divergent."

Summary
It’s the middle of the night cycle: too early to expect coffee and too late to just take a pill. Her temple throbs. She needs to be sleeping.
Instead, Shepard finds herself in the elevator, punching in the request for deck three.

Summary
He asks if she wants to be serious, with him.
He’s been thinking of her since the last (second last, really) time they parted ways on the Citadel, his bag slung over his shoulder as they stood at the dock. She’d told him to take care of himself, just as she had the first last time, but then she’d stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him. The hug had been too warm to be friendly, her body molding to his, and Garrus had dropped an arm around her waist and tucked his face into her temple. She’d kissed his cheek, and he spent a week wishing he’d kissed her back.
He’s been thinking about her since she came to see him in the battery, where she held his hand and kissed him and told him she thought about him. That she missed him.
He’s been thinking about her since he followed her up to her cabin and the view of her backlit by the aquarium was burned into his memory.
And Shepard laughs in a way that’s warm and with her eyes and is one of his favorites, and when she tilts her head says to her they already were.
the presidium date, and the moments after.
