Yep, decidedly long-term, too for Cyrus Shepard. No previous romance. Not AU though, just unexpected re-encounters. He met Miranda 16 years ago when they were both in disguise and under cover. They even had sex. He often dreamed of her, but the image blurred over the years and when he met her again, he didn't recognize her until the engine room. Just imagine the silly smile he's wearing when nobody is looking these days. But only then. It won't do letting the others think he's gone soft.jtav wrote...
All this discussion makes me glad I have my own AU where the relationship is decidedly long term by ME2. Matt would never cheat on her.

Fighting and telling someone to keep their hands off isn't really the same. Sure I'd tell someone to keep their distance from someone who I'd consider to be my girl, but if there's need to fight then it's just too much. If the person who's being fought over doesn't have the guts or doesn't make a choice, then he/she isn't worth being fought over.
In ME's case it's just, that Shepard would pretty much allow them to fight over him and therefore he'd need to show some level of interest for both of them. I don't think that's Miranda's cupt of tea. She'd be hurt sure, she'd probably not show it, but in the end she could get pretty much any other man, that she'd ever want.
She doesn't need Shepard.
What?
After all that is only your reading of her.Ieldra2 wrote...

But yes, actually you're right. In the end Miranda is still a human beeing with human feelings.
Of course she isn't without any struggle with herself because she grew up with the feeling that she is loved and respected only for what she is and do instead of being loved as daughter for who she is and with that imprinting there is just little space for unconditioned trust against strangers to her.
Yes there also hurt feelings, naturally there are, because in fact her supposed perfection essentially limits her personal choices as she is infertile by birth. The role she was put into means basically for her that she never be able to develop her own personal life as she liked to and as every regular woman could do.
In this case her origin may be similar to Grunt's one, but in contrast to him, she was taken one of the fundamental abilities of her gender. How confident would be the male commander shepard if his Pe**s was removed after his birth.
And of course, as she might feel not beeing a complete woman to her love interest, she lacks confidence in intimate and personal moments. But despite all disadvantages of beeing some sort of clone, she has a strong character as she doesn't let anybody bring her down and decides in her own behalf.
Indeed I think she would come over an answered love, because she always tries to stay focussed on her job and beyond that that would only reinforce her hurt feelings from her childhood when her natural need for love was rejected.
Regarding her infertility: that's not something that will necessarily undermine her self-esteem. I think she'd just feel it as an insult, either by her father if it's intentional, or by fate. Also we have already established that it is extremely unlikely that there is no way around it. Reproductive technology hasn't spoken its last word about it. Your comparison also falls flat since she can still enjoy sex. And any Shepard who dares imply she's not a complete woman because of her infertility plainly doesn't deserve her.
Her genetic improvements do not limit her choices. In fact, they expand them. She can do many more things than other people at a similar age. Also her genetic improvements are not necessarily linked to her infertility.
The reason why she lacks confidence in emotional matters is that she did not get the love and appreciation a child needs from her father. That's all. her genetic engineering has nothing to do with it. The emotional deprivation she experienced makes her unable to accept her gifts as her own and take credit for her achievements on an emotional level. Once she's dealt with the ghost of her father that's still sitting in her mind, the fact she's genetically improved will cease to bother her.

Since my dislike of the asari is limited to the meta-perspective (omnisexual blue-skinned space babes, yeah), I probably won't do that, but I understand the sentiment.MisterJB wrote...
No joke, really. I just don't like Asari very much.
I'll probrably use this opportunity to trim down their numbers a little bit.
