I was just wondering about this fic. Glad to see a new chapter.
Again, I enjoyed the inner workings of the Normandy. And I also like the responsibility you're giving Kaidan. I like that you've made him a little stronger than I usually see in fics. Though not stronger than Shepard. Which is a good thing. But I do like to see the relationship being more as equals. Or close to equals. And you added that he is a medic. I actually don't see that very often. But in the first game he does have, 'first aid' as one of his powers. Plus healers are hot. Lol.
And I liked seeing Shep having more fire in this chapter.
Noveria first isn't the norm. But for your Shep it makes sense. She knows Benezia is there. And she wouldn't waste time. Isn't it great in games, how the villains always wait for the heroes to get to them?
Maybe now that she's on Noveria the question of if she's renegade or paragon will be answered. My guess is she'll be a mix, but mostly paragon. A ruthless paragon if there is such a thing.

Welcome back! This was a fun chapter. A behind the scenes kind of feel to it. It's clear you understand military protocol. I was actually reminded a bit of what it would be like to be on a sub. Though I have no knowledge of that whatsoever. Only from the movies Hunt for the Red October and Das Boot. Which I never thought of space travel being like that before. But now I see it would be actually quite like that. I also liked the roles you gave each person. I mean it is a job. And does work somewhat as a business. It isn't a video game. Where the crew waits around doing nothing waiting for the commander to pay them attention. Lol. You gave the setting a very organic and real feeling. Good chapter. And yes. You kept things clean and simple. Really the military aspect of your fic is one of its strengths. Don't be afraid to use it.

really enjoyed the mini space fight, its nice to see some real military jargon mixed into it all. And the tension between shenko is heating up.

I agree Shepard. I like Garrus. Loved you had Garrus ask Shep to join. It's sort of funny that the alien characters help you on the Citadel and just stick around. No explanation. No reason. Love your Shep and Anderson. Again. And I even think there's hope for Shenko. Lol.

Hey. Sorry for the late review. A cold hit me hard this week and I didn't feel like doing anything.
I like this chapter. It was one of those quiet but important ones. It wouldn't have fit for either of them to jump right back into things as usual for them. And I love Kaidan when he's less than perfect. I like that small moment between Shep and Anderson too. And Ashley and Joker. They're really not going to let Kaidan get off the hook.
Ideas? Well I see I have one more chapter to read so you might've gotten over your block. But I think you're all set for leaving the Citadel now. Luuucky.
Sometimes it's good to take a break though. And sometimes it'll come to you in the most unsuspecting of times. Or you can use what's going on as a channel for the fic.
Now let's see if you actually leave Kaidan behind...

oh i am loving the tension between them now and nice touch with Normandy changeover. You made make sense as to why she was given the normandy and all the military touches like the drum and flag are nice

Oh they both need a punch in the face. It's really good though it keeps you intrigued about how they are going to finally get together.

Well you should no better than anyone about life on ship, use what you know in your life and turn that into mass effect style, the real life aspect of this is really good so you should involve that into your story not just as a side line to it.

Poor Kaidan he is very conflicted i like it, But if you make Kaidan leave i shall be very upset.

As for ideas you seem to be going well with them. I like the love hate thing between them i think you should keep that up its new and fresh and brings a lot of tension and its hot.

You know I feel privileged that I get to read this over and over again, before everyone else. Means I have so much longer to picture those images of Kaidan, wet, mussed, perfect, terrified. Loving every minute of it. ;p Thank you.

well at least Kaidan's still in one piece... talk about awkard.

i only have one thing to say 'LOVE IT'

OMG HOT HOT HOT! Love this chapter need more of this! Oh i can't wait to see what happens when they have to work together after that! Love how you made it nearly happen but nothing did makes the tension that more. Joker and Ash at the end was fantastic made me laugh. So worth the wait for this chapter. And no worries with the connection going down thats not your fault! And planning a wedding on tour? You must be pulling your hair out? i think you should get out your wedding frustration with more chapters like this!

Finally. Smiling. Glad you got this posted. First off the title. What have I done? Love it! Would that be Shep's "I"? Kaidan's "I"? Or yours? Lol. All of the above I imagine. Alright. Put your mind at rest. It was a good chapter. This really fits for your characters I think. And will make things interesting how close they came to losing control so early in the relationship and how it will affect how they're going to work together now. And the descriptions were hot. Grinning. You're killing me with this. Really. First you had Kaidan in dress uniform. Then he got all mussed up. AND then you got him wet. I'm not sure if I should thank you or curse you for that image. Lol.

Yes, yes, YES! The hotness. sigh. *dies*

The sight of Kaidan like that was very nice indeed i think you hit my dream man right there. It is great to see the two dancing around each other and its funny to see how Kaidan is such a good boy and Shep is a bad influence on him and he can't help but go along with it
