The good ending can only be achieved if you choose to accept help from the close knit community of outcasts

Thane was always my favourite romance in ME2. He's terminally ill and trying to clean up his last loose ends before he dies.
His whole romantic arc with Shepard has him facing the guilt he feels both from the consequences of his life as an assassin and for pursuing a relationship knowing that he's dying soon and will be leaving his partner to grieve for him.
Garrus was my favorite for reasons listed, and I always made my FemShep a renegade with the spacer sole survivor origin, so she knows what it's like to lose everyone and have to start over carrying that guilt with you
ME2 opened up my mind to the concept of xenophilia having some story and character merit. I read Perdido Street Station soon after and adored Isaac and Lin's relationship. There's just something so heartwarming and joyous about seeing two people who are so utterly different from each other finding love with some other alien weirdo who is into boning aliens just like them. An emotional connection that trumps physical and cultural difference, and then they have weird alien sex
