Such a wonderful fanfiction. Do you plan on finishing it? I hope so

This is a great story! I hope to see more soon!

LOL!
"Pulling her into an embrace, he kissed her and beeped."

Okay, not quite as romantic, but I'd take it!
"She was on the couch in her apartment, slouched against Kaidan. They had fallen asleep while watching an Earth vid, the remnants of their dinner and an empty bottle of wine sitting on the table."

I had no idea Krogan's were such party animals! I like it. :) Party hard, fight hard. They've got some pluses after all.

Great update!

God this bit... After this how can anyone NOT love Grunt?!

"Kaidan picked a secluded spot along the shore of the Presidium lake and laid out a blanket for them to sit on."

We need to see this. I would never have thought to picnic here!

"She laughed. "Right, so I'm not such a terrible person. Come with me?"

He nodded and pointed to the front door."

Aww, he's so sweet. I'm pretty sure my husband would go back to bed.

"The crowd outside was staring back at her through the hole in the wall. Take a good look at Commander Shepard and her idiot friend, the overgrown krogan child, she thought with a sigh."

LOL, yes, it's not always the heroism that draws the crowd.

""Because I was on fire?" Grunt said. "You know, from the car? Come on, Shepard, keep up."" - This was some of the funniest dialogue int he game.

""Right. I think we all feel the weight of our mortality every now and then, Kate." he said, steering her toward the stairs." He's so good for her, so grounding. I love it.

I love that you went with Grunt's bit. It adds levity to the thread of things coming to an end that runs through the end of this chapter. Take your pleasures while you can, folks.

Great update! More now.

First of all...Hugs!

"Surrounded by her crew - my family - Shepard took a deep breath and began working to put the tensions of the past few days behind her." - And that is exactly what I took away from the DLC. The game alludes to it, but the DLC solidifies it, even if Shepard doesn't quite say it.

"Kate, you care about people, you're willing to give them a chance, and sometimes crazy pays off. Look at Wrex, Grunt, Jack, Legion, even your partnership with the Illusive Man. People thought you were crazy getting involved with each of them, but-" He shrugged, not needing to finish his sentence. "Just not this time." - Ooh, I love to see Kaidan being realistic and supportive!

""Oh, so that's how it's going to be, hmm?" she said, pulling her shirt off and tossing it aside.

Kaidan smiled, his pants falling to the ground as he yanked his shirt over his head. "Mm hmm."" - \

RAWR! Her priorities seem back on track! Aww, I do love these two. Their relationship has really grown and matured nicely. Well done, Biff!

Now, for the party! Sp excited to read it!
Zute chapter 92 . 7/31/2014
Nice! Loved the ending, of course. They never did make it to the hot-tub, did they? LOL! I can't blame her. It is KAIDAN after all.

I probably shouldn't have read this at work. My mind is turning to thoughts that are... unseemly.

Very hot!

Yay! A chappy!

"Yes, that," Joker snapped. "Can we all just agree that we can't let Shepard's evil clone steal the Normandy?" - I love that we see Joker losing it a bit. Though he still manages to be funny!

She shook her head. "Jesus, I'm going to need therapy after this." - At least! Great point, and I'm surprised an Alliance shrink didn't end up on the Normandy after this.

"If you'd told me this morning that a toothbrush would save the Normandy, I would have been very skeptical. Remind me to replace it." - No kidding. I loved Traynor's little fit too.

"'Please recycle this junk'? That fucking bitch! Jesus Christ, what about my fish? If she kills my fish-"

"Shepard, I think I heard her mention the armory." Kaidan tipped his head toward the elevator. - LOL, the voice of reason keeping Shepard on point. But the fish!

"Plan B? What the hell is Plan B?"

Ignoring the continued dialogue in her ear, Shepard rolled to another point of cover. Pausing to reload, she heard Joker say, "We're bait? Plan B stands for bait?" - Hahaha! Always with the bait! Shepard's crew is going to kick her ass one of these days.

She swallowed hard and cleared her throat, blinking at him, and finally nodded several times. "I just watched myself-gah!" - Imagine that? How awful must that feel? But she tried to save her. Good Kate.

"Come on. I need to check on my fish." - LOL, aw, cuddle up to the fishies. And Kaidan!

Great chapter, full of excitement and laughs. Now, let's get his party started! XD

"We'd better. I just got the seat broken in how I like it."

"Jesus, I'm going to need therapy after this."

"Traynor, I can't fire you without a disciplinary hearing. And seriously? The first thing you grab is your toothbrush?"

"It's a Cision Pro-"

omg... saved by a toofbrush? :) This all just cracked me up. But hooray! The evil twin is dead and Shep needs the sort of therapy that only Dr. Kaidan can provide. A-yup!

Awesome update!
Zute chapter 90 . 6/10/2014
Ah! This was great. All the time in that vault I was wondering if Glyph was still out there. :) Brooks was good! I was completely taken by surprise. By... well, everything. I kind of wish I'd played this DLC!

Ugh, that was me! I thought I was logged in. :)

"If you're really me, then we're on the same team."

Oh Kate, no, no, no... don't even think your clone is remotely like you!

"She's better looking, too," Kaidan shouted as he lifted a desk and sent it crashing into two men. - LOL, sweet even during a fight!

""Then I have found the target." The VI's digital voice sounded strangely human, confused that Shepard would ask it to find her when she was standing right there." - And here's where we all fell in love with Glyph!

"Wrex let out a hearty laugh. "That's why I love hanging out with you guys. Why shoot something once when you can shoot it forty six more times?"" - LOL, I never had Wrex with me. Now I have to do that!

""The longer answer involves your friends, trapped in iridium vaults and forgotten for ... well, forever."" -Kill her! Kill, kill, kill...

""Hmm. And then your sex bot had to go and recover the data. So here we are, forced to ... contain the situation."" - Well, at least the clone had a sense of humor.

""I can't believe I fell for Brooks's act. Goddamnit. When we get out of here, I am going to track those bitches down and I am going to beat the shit out of them both." She emphasized her point by slamming her fist into her other hand.

Wrex grunted. "Now you're talkin'. I'll hold 'em down for you so you can really do it right."" - LOL, Love her fit! Because you know she would!

"Kaidan nodded, his lip twitching against a smile. "Yes, ma'am. What happens in the vault, stays in the vault."" I totally laughed out loud here. Very smooth, Kaidan.

Exciting update! The next bit ought to be chock full of action and death! Go, Biff!

Finally reviewing! Great update!

"The black knee-length dress was modest and simple, and would be easy to run in, if the need arose. The shoes were a perfect fit; comfortable, with a solid heel. If Shepard needed to run, she wouldn't have to get rid of the shoes in order to make good on her escape. Will there come a day when I won't have to worry about crap like this?"

So practical, Kate. What a cross to bear, right? I swear, this is not a life for 99.9% of the population.

"Hey, look out. Didn't you see me?"

"You weren't watching where you were going, ma'am."

"So you did see me." - LOL! She's so observant!

""I don't know if it was him, or the killer," Brooks said, stepping aside. "Oh no, when I tripped that alarm, did I mess this up?"" - Gah, all her cluelessness should have been a clue. Not a fan of Brooks .

tly you, Wrex. The bigger the target, the bigger the ... er ... target."

"You're saying I've gained weight, Tali?"

"It just means there's more of the legend to love," Liara said with a smile." - Tee hee, love the banter.

""Hide? Why? I'm Commander Shepard, I never hide." The woman stepped into a pool of light and Shepard blinked, understanding what had been bothering Kaidan."

What a horrible moment for her! OMG, I can hardly wait for the next bit! Go get 'em, Kate! i'm loving living this DLC through Kathryn's eyes. Awesome job!
Zute chapter 89 . 5/23/2014
Woo hoo! Now that's a plot twist right there! This DLC sounds like it must've been pretty dang fun. Good job, Biff!
Zute chapter 88 . 5/15/2014
Woo hoo! Well deserved rest and relaxation. A pity they didn't get to enjoy the apartment all to themselves. :) Looking forward to the big gala! Meanwhile I will try to imagine Kaidan dressed in black tie. :)
