Fill: Based on a True Story (Garrus/FemShep)

Fill for this prompt:
Mad idea that came to me while half asleep- The screenwriter/s of the epic F&F was at the bar and saw Shakarian's tango(?) and has been inspired to write a a human/turian romance as their next project. As part of their research they want to interview Garrus, Shepard and some of the crew, huge fangirl that she is Tali threatens S/G with her shotgun if they don't do it.
I prefer Shakarian who were friends surprised by the depth of their feelings during their time apart but other than that go wild a!as.
OP, I wrote this with the spirit of the prompt in mind. The whole interviewing the crew has been done many times before, so I wanted to do something a little different. Hopefully you'll still enjoy it!

Every fiber of Tali’s being suggested annoyance.
“Keelah, save me from stubborn humans,” Tali said, crossing her arms over her chest, tilting her head in a frown.
“That’s stubborn commander, to you,” Shepard said with a laugh. She sat up and reached behind her, trying to adjust her pillow. Once Tali realized she was having trouble, she jumped up to help.
Shepard nodded her thanks and looked away. “It would take up too much time,” she said, the excuse sounding flimsy on her tongue.
Tali looked around the hospital room slowly. “Because you have so many places to go.”
“Quiet,” Shepard said. “Therapy takes a lot of time. And you wouldn’t believe the amount of Alliance bullshit I still have to deal with. And I’d like to spend more than five minutes at a time with Garrus

Shepard turned her head to the side, away from Favia and Tali and looked out the small window. The three days she was convinced that Garrus was dead were among the worst three of her life. She had been in Huerta Memorial, talking to Doctor Chakwas, when she heard the news that Palaven had been hit by the Reapers. Karin had to put her hand on Shepard’s shoulder to steady her.
“Tali pretty much nailed it on the head,” Shepard said weakly. “We found each other on Menae when I went to rescue the Primarch of Palaven.”
“I can just picture it,” Favia said, her voice taking on a dreamy quality.
Shepard stared at Palaven, a single tear rolling down her cheek. “Oh, Garrus, I was such a fool

It's come to my attention that there's another fill currently in progress with the same title. So I'm changing mine to make things less confusing. Good times.
PART TWO
Favia T’Lana entered the room as if expecting applause. Tali had told Shepard all about the screenwriter. A matron who had been married seven times, all to short lived races. After her last husband died, a salarian, she vowed never to love again and threw herself into her work. Fleet and Flotilla was just one of the many vids she had written

Shepard brightened, remembering the first time she saw Garrus. It’s funny, how easily they could have missed each other and never met at all. What if Pallin had assigned another detective on the case, or if the elevator she had been in moved even slower?
There were times she missed that Garrus. He seemed so young and almost innocent then. During her darker hours chasing Saren and then the Collectors, she had wondered if she had done the right thing, bringing him along. Maybe his life would have been better if she had simply walked on by and not responded to him.
But then she would remind herself that that Garrus matured into her Garrus. Her Garrus could barter with the most important people in the galaxy and generals saluted and who she trusted more than any other being in the universe

So I fail completely at posting. And at closing italics. Sigh. But here's the last part anyways. Enjoy!“No,” Tali and Shepard said at the same time

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful! Please repost part 4 in the right spot so people can get all of it instead of getting confused and having to jump about?
