Summary
“Alenko warned you about me, didn’t he?”
Tali nods sagely. “He told me that the best countermeasure for your dour and misanthropic demeanor is relentless charm.”
Of course he did. And leave it to Alenko to use words like misanthropic. Joker tugs on his cap. “Joke’s on him, I do not find you charming.”
“He also said to call you on your bullshit.”
~
In which Tali asks if anyone is gonna befriend this misanthropic pilot, and does not wait for an answer.

Summary
Zaeed joins the crew of the Normandy and almost instantly manages to piss off Jack. But sometimes shared experiences and the influence of a certain commanding officer can challenge first impressions.
Rated M for language and the deaths of a few children.

Summary
The detective nods, leaves the room, and returns with the kid. He forces her down onto a bench opposite Anderson, handcuffs her to the table, then sits on a chair in the corner of the room. She’s gangly, either sixteen or seventeen, and still wearing her dirty clothes from the fight. Her arms are lined with scratches: some fresh, some scarred, and her face is bruised. A bulky biotic suppression collar hangs around her neck, and her hands and feet are held together with additional metal bindings.
She blows a strand of her shoulder-length tangled red hair out of her face as she leans on the table and smirks. “Sure you guys don’t want to add any more cuffs? I think I make them look pretty good.”
Or: David Anderson meets Earthborn Shepard for the first time.

Summary
Kasumi didn’t even bother playing any of the audio files she had prepared. “Every other message is just ‘Extremely dangerous!’ or ‘approach with caution!’ but there’s nothing to suggest why. No rumors, no charges, no body count. She’s not a tech prodigy, she’s far too young to be a commando. Her last report card marked her as having below-average biotic ability, and she’s clearly stable enough to be in school, so she’s not like Jack at that age. No offense.”
Jack slurped her drink. “None taken.”
Shepard frowned, staring at the smiling, freckle-faced image of a girl who was currently the target of a galaxy-wide shadow-manhunt.
“So why spend these kinds of resources,” she murmured, “on a girl who hasn’t done anything wrong?”

Summary
Miranda had a plan. A nice, easy plan to have it out with Jack in the comfort of her own cabin when Shepard finally stopped hovering like a worried mother hen. They would beat each other senseless. There would be insults. And it would be bloody glorious.
But then they made it back from that one-way trip, and things changed. Miranda changed. Jack changed. And somewhere along the line, a mutual desire to bash each other’s heads in turned into something strange and very, very messy.
And Miranda doesn’t have a plan for that.

Summary
One day, Miranda comes to a terrible conclusion: she's really, really into Commander Jane Shepard. It started off as aloof respect of her abilities, turned to admiration, jealousy, friendship, and now here she is, looking at Shepard when she laughs hard and those freckled cheeks bunch up and ... oh, no. This is really inconvenient.
