Summary
Monolith Year 45: While assisting his twin sister with her political campaign, a young Gustave spots a man that he's never before seen in Lumière, watching from the shadows. Compelled by the mysterious clockmaker amidst a sea of familiar faces, Gustave follows him to his atelier where the stranger seemingly turns away all visitors. Thanks to Gustave's stubbornness and the inevitable passage of time time, the two develop a bond over mechanical things, Lumiérean history, and the bittersweet duality of desire.

Summary
Monolith Year 78 (in which Verso is incredibly touch-starved and increasingly unable to stop staring at the way Monoco grips his staff):
"You're insufferable."
"Yet here you are, staring at me with the desperate eyes of a man who hasn't been touched in decades. Which, coincidentally, you are."
Verso swallowed, unable to tear his gaze away from Monoco's hands. He should feel humiliated by the bluntness, recoil at the implication he was so transparent. But all he felt was a burning, aching need overriding everything else.
"You didn't answer my question," he croaked.
“I’ve not been dragging it across the Continent for him, Verso. Does it matter?”
It should. It should matter that this thing between them wasn't real, wasn't special, wasn't his. But as Verso stared at Monoco, at the soft halo of fur around his face, at the wooden hands that had pulled him back from death countless times, he found he couldn't summon the will to care. He shook his head.
Monoco patted his thigh, a gesture so casually commanding that it sent another wave of heat through Verso's body. "Then come here. You’re hogging all the warmth.”

Summary
After the destruction of the SSV Normandy and its commander, the former crew flounders as they look for what comes next. Amidst the looming threat of galactic destruction, some seek control; others--direction. Garrus can’t change what's happening in Council Space, can’t fix the broken system he knows, but he can go somewhere where he can make his own rules…
Omega.
As he struggles to come to terms with his past, his growing anxiety, and grief, Garrus knows he’s behaving recklessly. But if he's going to throw his life away, he can make it mean something.
Enter Sidonis. Sidonis doesn’t have any answers. He doesn’t have power or control. But he has something Garrus needs: something to fight for. And the intel and spunk to make it happen. For Sidonis, Garrus might just be the way out he’s craved his whole life…
The story of Archangel: Angst, obsession, love, betrayal, revenge, forgiveness, acceptance, and the grey spaces in between.

Summary
a modern turian phrase which means "an idea that seems like a good idea, but only to the one who came up with it."
This is just an organizational collection to keep all of my fics that exist in the same canon in one place and catalog the timeline/order in which they occur. Reading them all/in order is not necessary.
