I'm in a sentimental mood, so I come bearing a question: when did your Shepard fall in love with Miranda?
Hm, that's an interesting standpoint.
He began caring for her as soon as he saw her true side during her loyalty mission.. but I don't think he truly realized he loved her til she was sliding down the Collector platform - and he jumped to save her.
Not saying the jump made him realize - but rather how much his world would be destroyed if he lost this woman.
Mine was pretty much the same, but he started to realize that he loved her after he made her talk to her little sister and she talked to him back on the ship.

I would say the same thing. My Shepard probably still didn't like her until about halfway through her loyalty mission. He probably doesn't realize how strong his feelings towards her are until he's reflecting on why he jumped after her, and how impulsive and instinctual it was.

Mine starts off after the destruction of the Collector base. All the crew on the SR-2, including Shepard's squad, has survived. If you read Rath's first fanfic tease, mine starts similar to his, but ours are distinct from one another, do not fret, and enjoy
------------------------
"Now exiting slipspace from the galactic core via the Omega 4 relay. Standby", EDI reported as Joker began to apply the brakes. A winded and exausted Miranda Lawson and John Shepard sat by the airlock, breathing heavily. Shepard and Miranda both managed to look up at each other, and a loving smile gleamed across their faces. For a moment, Shepard became ignorant to pain as he gazed at the woman he loved, both knowing everything would be alright. The moment was broken as the Normandy SR-2 exited the Omega 4 relay and reeled from slowing their speed of travel. "FTL drives nominal, Mass Effect fields at 100 percent. Everything looks solid." reported a satisfied Joker as he resumed to pilot the Normandy at normal speeds.
After the ship had settled, Shepard felt an agonizing pain in his leg. As he grimaced and yelled in pain, Miranda jumped up and examined him. Miranda, clearly concerned, found the wound; a piece of shrapnel had lacerated Shepard's right thigh, only inches from severing his femoral artery. Shepard was now bleeding profusely. "Don't worry Shepard, we'll get you down to the infirmary" reassured Miranda as Shepard slipped unconcious. Miranda called over Jacob, and together they carried Shepard on their shoulders down to medical.
Shepard awoke to Miranda looming over him, just as she had done when Shepard was in the middle of his reconstruction via the Lazarus Project. Shepard let out a long sigh and said, "Miranda." Miranda and Shepard both smiled as Miranda caressed his cheek. "Remember what I told you Shepard. I do damn good work" replied Miranda with a loving smile. Shepard then sat up and spotted Doctor Chakwas across the room. "Shepard, you suffered a laceration that nearly severed your femoral artery. I fixed you right up though, and your leg should be good as new in about a week. Whatever Cerberus put in you is speeding up your recovery process. It's a good thing you saved us, the crew, in time, otherwise you might be dead!". "Thank you doctor, I'm glad you're still on my crew." replied Shepard. He stood up, a little tenderly on his right leg, and limped out with Miranda.
Shepard and Miranda entered Miranda's office. The door automatically shut closed, and Miranda and Shepard immediately hugged, holding each other as tight as they could. Tears streamed from Miranda's eyes as she locked lips with Shepard's for a moment. They sat, and Shepard held Miranda's head in his arms ever so gently. "I was scared Shepard" quivered Miranda, "I didn't want to lose you, not after-". "It's alright Miranda" interrupted Shepard, "I'm here now. I told you I wouldnt die twice. I've never felt more joyed by seeing your face since I slipped in and out of conciousness during the Lazarus Project." "You really mean that." said Miranda, fighting back any more tears. "I love you John." Miranda whispered as she looked up at Shepard, and Shepard down at Miranda. He smiled, and once again they kissed, not wanting to depart from each other. Miranda rested her head again against Shepard's, and she closed her eyes. Shepard closed his eyes as well, and for now the couple rested in the comfort of Miranda's bed. Finally, the two had time to themselves as the Collector threat was now behind them and, for now, the Illusive Man's attention was directed elsewhere.....

What do you guys consider to be Shepard and Miranda's theme song? Or, if you chose not to romance her, what do you consider to be Miranda's theme song?
It's About Time - Barcelona

I especially like the line "They can't love me, they can't love what I don't show". It really fits Miranda.

Those lyrics are really fitting actually. Especially "The fighting never ends, I can't face the dark without you".ToshiStation38 wrote...
I think the song "Without You" by Breaking Benjamin describes my Shepard's attachment to her.
We all know Shepard's work is never done.

As to when he loved her? I... really don't know. That's an interest angle to explore during my fic.
My more ambigous response would be that there was no specific time. Once Shepard loved her, does it really matter when? It could be when we woke up for the first time in 2 years and saw her smiling face, it could be during after her loyalty mission, if could be during their moment in the engine room.
Hmmm... This might take some thought.

It's not bad so far. Particularly liked the last line. How long do you plan on making it?

There are better songs but this is the first tht popped in my head
EDIT: Here's the lyrics
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away, you don't feel me anymore
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone
You've gone away, you don't feel me anymore

I have a few songs that work, but right now Stellar by Incubus is fitting quite nicely.Which is strange considering I haven't listened to Incubus since freshman year of high school...
