A/N: Below is a list with a small background story around it, the idea is that each chapter will go over one item on the list. Let me know if you like the idea so that I can see if it's worth continuing!

"Okay, I have finished it," Shepard said, handing the datapad over to Miranda. They were lying on the bed in Miranda's office. The Collector Base had just been destroyed and there was just one thing left to do. Well, one thing besides destroying the Reapers, of course. Admiral Hackett had asked Shepard to rescue Dr. Kenson, a deep-cover agent in batarian space who was reported missing after purportedly having found evidence of the upcoming Reaper invasion. What Miranda didn't like, however, is that the Admiral had ordered Shepard to go in alone. That it would be an extremely dangerous mission was a fact, but Miranda could live with that. What she couldn't live with is that she wasn't allowed to stand beside her beloved Commander to see her live through the mission. But she didn't have a choice. Miranda had asked Shepard not to go, though the following discussion had been explosive. Literally. The Commander wouldn't budge. Miranda had then made one simple request. Write me something meaningful about you so that I will have that to hold on to while you're away.

Miranda looked at the datapad.

10 things Shepard sucks at:

1. Doing yoga

2. Cooking

3. Giving advice on matters of romance

4. Stroking Garrus' ego

5. Dancing

6. Dealing with Kelly when hungover

7. Spending a day with Miranda without annoying her

8. Being a lady

9. Caring for fish

10. Doing what she's told (off duty)

Miranda sighed. "Shepard, you're impossible."

The Commander looked at her raven-haired lover with a huge grin on her face. "What? Why? These are fun facts! And there is a story to tell about each of them! You've actually witnessed most of them so you'll have memories you can think about!"

Miranda sighed again and shook her head. "This is not what I had in mind, Shepard. I thought you'd give me something more...well...I actually don't know what I thought. I should've known you would come up with something like this." She smiled and planted a kiss on the Commander's forehead. Shepard was just an overgrown child at times. It's what made her so endearing. Her playfulness had been what had attracted Miranda to Shepard in the first place. Though it annoyed her ofttimes as well. Of course she admired the Commander's beauty and strength and everything that came with it, but those traits everybody saw. Not everyone had the luxury to see the child inside Shepard as often as Miranda did. And she loved her clumsy redhead for it.

The Commander took Miranda in her arms and they settled on the bed. "We still have some time, lets go over each item so you'll have an encyclopaedia of events where I have made a fool of myself," Shepard said grinning. "But don't share it with anyone, or I might have to rip a tear into that catsuit of yours!"

Miranda smiled and took Shepard's free hand in her own. "You wouldn't dare. I'd flay you with my perfect biotics. Now go on, lets hear of your foolishness."
