(Anonymous) 2013-07-01 02:02 am (UTC)(link)like, there's a lot of really good fic for my pairing, which is shep x not garrus yeah, but like...
i've noticed that a lot of the fic in that pairing (almost all of the good fic, following a trend set by the biggest writer for them i think) makes like concessions to garrus/shep. it's like the fic has to acknowledge that this person isn't shepard's first choice, it's just that garrus doesn't like him like that. this person will never understand shepard like garrus does. garrus is the only one who ~gets shepard. there's a huge undertone of "shepard is settling" throughout most of the fics and it just really really irks me bc 1) that's not how the romance plays out in game at all and 2) just write garrus/shepard then if you think that. don't write a shepard/non garrus fic that just ends up emphasizing garrus/shep over the pairing you're saying the story is about !

Shame too because Garrus is a good character imo, and Shakarian is a good pairing. But there's nothing wrong with variety, and eery single fic doesn't have to have undertones of this pairing just because it's popular. Also nobody is required to like that character/pairing to enjoy the fandom.
Yikes, I hope fandom as a whole isn't as much like this as people here seem to be saying it is :|
