Ok, so I've decided to finally stop lurking (thought to be fair it has taken me a while to catch up with all the posts, go you lot!) and post some Kaidan love! I'm Beth, hello all!
Loving all the photoshop Kaidan yuminess, my pinkie finger keeps hitting that right mouse button to save! And this thread has resulted in my mind staying permanently 'guttered' all day. No actually are there sewers at the bottom, because I think I went there, got through water processing and dived back into the gutter for the next round!
Anyway, going way back to the discussion about how that picture got there, in my mind Chakwas should have given it to Shepard personally when she went to say hi.
-Shepard nodded to the doctor and turned to leave the med bay
"Commander!" Chakwas called after her. Shepard span on her heel and looked enquiringly at Chakwas, who was rummaging in one of the drawers on her desk. "Here" she said pulling out a picture frame, "I think you should have this."
Shepard took the frame and turned it over. On it was a picture of Kaidan, her Haidan. her breath hitched as memories came flooding back. "I- uhh. Thanks Doc..." she stuttered. Chakwas gave her a warm smile and then gestured that she could go. Shepard nodded again and headed staright to the elevator, she intended to put the picture on her desk immediately.-
Ok, so that turned into a vignette...but something like that, I always feel that Chakwas would be my Shepard's mum figure.
Wish I had more time to write fanfic, today I thought about a scenario in the Mako. I can imagine Kaidan and Shepard having a competition to see who can jump the highest in the Mako, using the thrusters and when Shepard gets a good jump Kaidan moans that it shouldn't count because she launched off a ridge, not from flat land. Shepard would reply that there was nothing against ridges in the 'rulebook' (which Kaidan didn't know about because it was a WIP and nothing at all to do with Shepard making the rules up as she went...).
Anyone who likes this idea is free to use it, I just don't have the time!
Love the art Lady Winde, Kaidan looks beautiful when swimming! If you need inspiration, I think confused Kaidan would look very cute, though not sure why he'd be confused. Maybe he just heard the advert about elcor Hamlet...
