Okay, new chapter is up:
If It Meant Living-68: Earth /
DA Link /
AO3 Link.
You can probably guess from the title that this chapter covers the final attack - up through the FOB, anyway. But of particular interest to readers of this thread, about halfway through we get to live inside Kaidan's head for a little while, and find out what he did in between Brain Camp and joining the military. Obviously, we can never
know what officially happened during those years, and this is just one person's interpretation, but I hope you will find it a worthwhile story

.
Also, there is an emotional scene at the end...

For those curious, though we have now gotten to Earth, we are nowhere near done yet - there are
at least four more chapters to go after this one. I'll share more about what I intend to do when it
is done when we get closer.
Now after this chapter a few questions may be raised, so I have put together a handy Q&A:
Reader: Does the final scene mean that Kaidan won't be going with Shepard to the Conduit?
Graceyn: Yes.
Reader: Does that mean there won't be an accident during the Conduit run and pick-up by the Normandy of the squadmates?
Graceyn: Yes.
Reader: But why not?? That scene was so heartfelt and touching and beautiful!
Graceyn: As they say on Tumblr...for reasons.
Reader: That doesn't make any sense.
Graceyn: Just keep reading - I promise I won't let you down!
Screenshot manip for the chapter has Kaidan in it, so here you go!
