So far I've adopted:
Primal Tali from Calin.
Most likely Xen from Rip.
Quarian predator-based evolution.
Probably some more I'm missing.

Repostan! Example of it in psuedo Codex-Tali mode!
--------------------
"Keelah I'm tired," Tali said as she sat and removed the outer boots from her suit . "I can't remember when I've been so tired without having fired my gun."
"Agreed," Shepard said as he removed his coat and set it in the clothing unit. "It's a good feeling though." Tali nodded from her seat on the bed.
With a grin, Shepard held a hand out to her, like he had earlier in the evening. She looked up at him in surprise.
"Think you have one more in you?"
The quarian giggled and stood with his assistance. He held her like he had previously. She rested her head on his shoulder.
"EDI, play something soft, then close all connections to the floor until 0800."
"Acknowledged Shepard. Logging you out."
A soft song began to play. Shepard guided Tali along, the rythm soft and soothing. The two held each other and danced along. She could not remember when she had last felt this content. Slowly the lyrics filtered in. The singer spoke of forgiveness, and the chance for a better tomorrow.
Oh, father, she thought as she remembered the man that she had tried for so long to make proud. She started to cry softly as the song contined about places to live, and the one child who would save everything.
Towards the end of the song, she glanced up through her tears to see the commander mouthing along to the lyrics. She could only smile and let the song carry away in her captain's arms.
Finally the song was over. The pair slowly stopped dancing. Tali looked up at Shepard's face. His gaze was soft, warming her heart and drying her tears. He smiled softly to her. He rested his head on her visor and spoke softly to her.
"We'll get to our better days Tali. Just you wait."
She shuddered and tightened her grip. She wanted so badly to be out of her suit and kissing him. Tonight, she would have to settle for clutching him to her, her unmoveable rock in the storm of her life.
"Oh Keelah, Shepard..."
----------------
Nearing the midday meal, Shepard found himself wandering the lower floor. As he moved into Engineering, he could hear voices, slightly raised.
"I can't believe you waited this long to say something Ken," Gabby said in a huff. "Years! A girl can grow old waiting on you."
Ken raised his hands in defense. "Now wait a bloody minute! I thought ya knew already?"
"How was I supposed to know?!" she nearly screeched at him.
Lowering his hands, he held them out. "Oh, c'mon! After all this time, why else would I still want to be around a woman that busts my chops as much as you?"
Shepard glanced over at Tali, who was trying to pay attention to her terminal as the two argued in the middle of engineering. Gabby poked her finger at Ken.
"Well, why didn't you say it then?" she demanded.
"I'm a man," he said, as if that explained everything. "We don't talk about this love-dovey tripe, or say 'I love you' first."
At this point, even Tali looked over at the engineers. She did not notice the commander behind her. Gabby was red in the face - but from embarrassment or rage it was impossible to tell.
"A real man would have said something!" She shouted as tears sprung to her eyes.
"Bollux," Ken said in frustration. "Even the commander wouldn't say it first." He waived at Tali. "Isn't that right?"
Tali stood ram-rod straight. "That's not any of your..."
"Of course I love Tali."
"...your...busine.....What?!"
Everyone stopped and looked behind Tali. The commander was standing just behind the quarian, looking over at her fondly. Gabby grabbed Ken, and pulled him out of engineering. She could see what was about to unfold, and wanted her overly gossipy partner out of earshot.
Tali simply kept staring. It started to make Shepard nervous.
"Tali?"
She shook her head rapidly. Tali walked up, grabbed his arm and dragged him to the elevator, punching the button for floor one viciously. Shepard looked over at her, concerned.
"Tali?" He tried again.
She held up a finger to his lips to shush him. She then stared impatiently at the elevator status as it ticked past floor 3 and on to floor 2. She bounced on her toes, once, twice, and finally three times.
Shepard just leaned against the wall. "At least tell me what's up with the bouncing," he said in an attempt to lighten the tenseness in the elevator.
"It's instinctive; when we're nervous, or angry, or excited, it's an easy way to expel some nervous energy," she replied distractedly. "It's a holdover from when our people were predators on our planet thousands of years ago." Shepard blinked in surprise, not expecting her to answer.
She then brought up her omni tool and typed in some commands as the elevator started to stop at the CIC. "Come on you bosh'tet!" she grumbled. There was a 'ding', and the elevator suddenly shot upwards; the inertial dampeners not completely able to compensate.
As the door opened, Tali grabbed Shepard again and pulled him toward the loft. Shepard was not certain what to make of this behavior; it was certainly not what he expected from Tali.
"Decontamination Complete."
Still with a firm hold, Tali marched them both into the room and to the foot of the bed. Finally, she let go of Shepard's hand and turned to face him. As Shepard looked over at her and began to speak, she held up a hand.
He stopped. With a snap and a hiss, Tali removed her visor and tossed it on the couch. Tears were still flowing freely out of her eyes. Now Shepard was more than concerned. He tried again to speak but was interrupted with an outstretched hand.
"Say it again."
Blinking his eyes, Shepard stared. Then he smiled softly before he took her hand even as it reached for him. He held her hand gently, then looked her directly in the eyes.
"I love you, Tali," were his heartfelt words.
Tali started to sob, but she forced herself to remain standing. After a moment, she found her voice.
Slowly, she stammered out, " D-do you kn-know, d-do you have any idea, how long I have waited," and here her breath hitched and she choked back a sob. "For someone I love to say that to me?" She started to move forward, then stopped.
"Please. Please Shepard," she said finally, her sobs tapering off, "Say it again."
He had no hesitation, especially now that he knew how important this was to her.
"I love you Tali'Zorah vas Normandy nar Rayya."
In retrospect, I should have expected this, he thought as Tali pounced on him, knocking him on to the bed. Then her lips met his, and the only thought he had was how much he loved the woman in his arms. Soon after that thought, instincts took over them both and no more words were spoken.

As for fanon I approve of:
Savannah-dwelling predators. The reflective eyes things who's scientific name eludes me. Non-biological offspring solutions. The entirety of Noir Tali is Noir (Heh). Garrus/Dr.Michel. There's probably more but that's what's coming to mind right now.
Anything else like the nature of Shep, for instance, is personal to me, I think.

I'd re-link Quarian Geographic again, but judging by its views, everyone's seen it.
It's funny how that got started as a joke.

Pretty much this.
I'm also adopting Reckoning, provided Bioware doesn't contradict anything in 3.

Honestly, I was seeing Kasumi. Maybe I'm just seeing stuff but I'm getting a hint of that.
Well i did have a conversation on this thread where I stated my preferences for the Big G Unit was Kasumi & Jack. But we'll see, lot of story left to go.
I've seen a few Jack/Garrus stories. Udhert (If you read this sorry if I got it wrong) had it in his various collection of fics, I'd be nice to see one Garrus/Kasumi secondary ship in a Tali/Shepard. Honesly, I think it'd work out well seeing they both have similar histories of recent loss and can relate to each other better than most.
Anyway, whatever you do I'll enjoy it. I've really liked how your story has developed so far and have no intention of stopping. Keep up the good work. MIght have to sign up with FanFic and get an account to review you.

I'm going off a wall here, but I would say that a few of these newcomers are actually from the other forum.
More newcomers in the last two days than the last two months combined, the other forum has done organized group activities over here before, and a lot of these newcomers seem to have a good amount of knowledge about the forum in general. Seems pretty plausible to me.
Just stumbled across the place about a week ago, lurked for a couple days, then decided to make an account.
What other forum exactly are you referring to?

Dunno about K-swiss and the G-man, though. Kasumi doesn't seem to go for aliens: from her comments she even seems a littled squicked-out by the idea of the Thane romance.

Not necessary but always appreciated. This turned into a far longer fic than I originally planned.

I like Uhd's Jack/Garrus as well but it doesn't mean you can't try other possibilities as well. It might be the fact that Garrus is my favorite male character and Kasumi is my second favorite female character but I still see something in there. Also, just because Kasumi might have said that about the Thane romance doesn't imply that she can't change her mind at some point. My Shep wasn't initially attracted to Tali on the first Normandy, but look at him now.
Plus by your own words you could enjoy a Garrus/Kasumi ship. It could surprise you like a Garrus/Jack romance did. Someone could make a very plausible Garrus/Kasumi ship, nobody's done one so it could be a nice change of perspective.

Awesome fic, uhdnrt... just awesome.
I will say that in the course of them being together, Tali's going to accidentally knock Shepard out at least once. I can easily see her getting excited and forgetting to take off her mask before pouncing.
Jacob: DAMN, Shepard. I'd like to see the guy who managed to swing hard enough to break *your* nose.
Shepard: *points at Tali*
Tali: *blushes*
