Just a bit of post-trilogy fluff I've been wanting to get out for a while, encouraged a lot by getting some adorable art from the wonderful Palavenmoons. I'm putting this one about... five or six years post-war? Long enough for them to get settled, and to have a chaotic little family of fun on their own. For them to realize retirement is difficult after a life of constant war and chaos, that it took some work to even remotely adjust. But also far enough out they were working through it. Just some cute, fun fluff I wanted to get out of my system. Hope you all enjoy.

Slight Spoilers for end of Story, Read Prior to Reading Story at Own Risk:

For those who were curious, yes, the kids all did get names and ages. I just didn't want to shoe horn those into the story unnecessarily.
Nicholas Zorah Shepard. 12 years old, human boy, Caucasian with bright red hair. Adopted at about age 6, orphaned during the Reaper war.
Jeeli'Zorah vas Rannoch. 11 years old, Quarian girl, wears a dark green suit. Adopted about age 4, also orphaned during the Reaper war. Adopted within a month of her older brother.
Mila'Zorah vas Rannoch. 5 years old, Quarian girl, typically in a dark purple or pink suit. Tali's biological daughter from clinical fertilization.
My reasoning for the Quarians still being in their suits in this? Garrus. Even if the Quarians have their immune systems pretty much corrected across the board by now, they still run into issues when other species get involved. Usually really mild reactions, but just to be on the safe side, they still wear suits around their crazy uncle.
And yes, I threw BS to say Nyreen's still alive. Because that death STILL feels cheap. So her bubble failed partially when she took the adjutants out with the grenades, launching her over the railing of the platform she was on. She was found by the Talons, who kept her alive and in secret, while they tried to put her back together. She ended up losing both legs above the knee, her entire right arm, and one of her fingers off her left hand, as well as some serious burns everywhere. She still has aches and a little trouble getting around, but her mind and biotics were always her greatest strengths. She wasn't going to let a few missing limbs keep her down. So she got some prosthetics, pushed herself through the physical therapy, and came out even stronger than before. Eventually she met Garrus and they clicked. Not exactly ready to get married or anything, not by a long shot, but they are happy and cute together.
Hope everyone enjoyed it! Now onto my next writing project! As soon as I decide which one it is!
