no guys im normal about zack and cloud constantly struggling to reach each other im really really normal about it i promise

I really do like headcanoning that a shakarian romance would have a great impact on turian-human relations throughout the galaxy (especially if we pretend that SPOILER Shepard somehow doesn't die).

Because Shepard definitely is a public figure, especially by the time ME3 rolls around and Garrus is calling Shepard his girlfriend left and right. But the first contact war only happened 26 years before ME1 so tensions are obviously still fresh between their two species. But also, as media has always shown us, a romance is always more sexy and compelling than a peace treaty.

So maybe Shepard and Garrus accidentally actually make relations between their two species really really good. Like repairing decades old wounds good. The two militaries start doing more joint trainings together because of the proof of how good Shepard's team is. More ships like the Normandy are built. Turian-human romantic relationships gradually become less and less of a taboo with them being the poster children for it.

And maybe they never say anything officially but various sources have overheard Garrus Vakarian refer to himself as Shepard's boyfriend and in both political and casual settings Commander Shepard is rarely seen without her right hand turian attached to her hip.

And as much as they both claim to want to retire post-war, the workaholics in them keep them active in their military and politics. So the cameras are still on them constantly, but since they're respected war heroes, the major news networks feel like speaking on their personal lives and asking questions would be inappropriate. And yet, the talking points Garrus and Shepard choose are often about how they are campaigning for more inter-species adoption and how cross-species colonies are vital to the galaxy's rebuilding efforts right now. And Garrus is often seen taking calls from Earth and Shepard from Palaven. So their legacy and mystery continues, and both turians and humans seen their friendship or romance as a pillar in their diplomacy efforts.

do you guys think garrus ever saw a red haired woman from behind on omega and thought it was shepard? or caught a glimpse of emerald green eyes and was sent back to his time on the normandy? do you think he was ever stopped in his tracks when a female merc fought the same way she did? how many times was he cursed with the knowledge that he found her in so many people, but they would never be the woman who showed him that there was more to life than c-sec paperwork and holding onto grudges?

More Ghostsoap Fallout Shenanigans!!

They are in the process of getting to know either other's characters, Ghost is having a hard time figuring Soap out.

IF YOU MENTION HOW LOW QUALITY THE BACKGROUND IS UR LESBIPHOBIC

the idea of garrus looking up and researching human behaviors is just so funny to me because you know that he's reading that wikipedia page back to front. He's taking notes, he's reading multiple articles, he's clicking on those sources. He takes it so seriously and yet when he finally meets Shepard again in ME3 he's like "i've been reading up human culture but also if you don't want me that way anymore it's totally fine." sir we know that you would not be fine if shepard called it off there
