    Summary

    Shepard and Kaidan's relationship has always been an inevitability, especially to their friends and co-workers who have spent days, months and even years watching those two tip-toe around their feelings for each other, feelings that seem obvious to everyone except for them. They are their own people, however, and those around them can do nothing but hope and subtly push them together, watching and waiting as they form a bond that stands in the face of everything that has come before them and everything that will soon arrive.

    Or,

    An examination of Shepard and Kaidan's evolving relationship through the eyes of those closest to them, and eventually, through the eyes of the two men themselves.

    Summary

    A few minutes more and they wouldn’t have even been on the ship. The Mako was scheduled and ready for drop, both of them suited up and ready with the final checklist completed.

    A few minutes more, and they would have watched the Normandy burn from the surface of Alchera.

    But they didn’t get those minutes.

    Alchera, and the two year gap.  

    Follow up to Sonata.

    Kaidan thinks too much. He knows that but it doesn't keep it from happening.

    Summary

    “Oh, this is exciting. I’m excited. I’ve never been around such a pure being before.”

    “You didn’t even know until moments ago. And now it’s a novelty.”

    “I like novelty,” Hans says, and a shiver builds in Henry’s spine at his words. “Keeps things interesting.”

    Normally, Henry did too. But now, there is too much new. This new pressure building, this new tension, this new awareness of Hans’s hair slipping over his pillow as he turns again, this new energy that clenches Henry’s hands into fists. He doesn’t know what to do with all this. All these new feelings.

     

    First hunt, first kill, first siege, first friend, first fight, first reconciliation, first kiss. First time taking a risk. First time watching it pay off. A series of first times for both Henry and Hans.
