Line 377:
* ''Pairing'': Female Shepard/Kaidan Alenko, [[Ship Tease]] of Garrus and Kasumi
* ''Warnings'': Out of 65+ chapters, a few of them have explicit content
* ''Synopsis'': Shepard has newfound biotic powers, thanks to the Lazarus Project. She doesn't know how to use them though, so a certain L2 biotic is hired to be her teacher. But things won't be easy: Shepard and Kaidan aren't on good terms, and neither are Alliance and Cerberus officers. They'll all have to [[Teeth
* ''Comments'': There's some good technical explanations of the Mass Effect [[All There in the Manual|lore]], and the plot is [[Original Flavour]] of good quality. Just for that it's worth checking, even if the story moves slowly. However, the fic's true strength is characterization: most characters make an appearance, they're all ''very'' good at their jobs, and they're all consistent with their in-game versions. Of all of them, Shepard, Kaidan and Miranda are the most fleshed out: their behaviors and actions are carefully examined, compared, contrasted, and their points of view make for an entertaining read of the fic's events, as well as give access to their hidden depths. As for the romance, their relationship compares their past and their present, which makes it kind of bittersweet... but deep down, they still care for each other. Overall, it's a sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes heartwarming, mostly fun ride, and if you like snarky writing and ''long'' fanfics, you'll love every second of it.
