A/N: sort of lost focus there... Sorry... Maybe will continue later.
Title: I expect compensation. From: ironchef@cerberus.net
Dude, she ate all the ice cream after she stumbled upon you on that planet! It's your fucking fault! A month worth of ice cream! You better compensate, the crew is giving me dirty looks already! I'll expect the ice cream delivered to my mess the next time Normandy is on the Citadel.
Mr Alenko, I have been monitoring the recent surge of emails being sent to this address from the Normandy. I would like to remind you that the crew of this ship consists mostly of very specialized, trained killers. All of whom, me included, care very deeply for Commander Shepard. Do not underestimate their ability to follow their threats. And do not think for a second that I would do anything to stop them had they decided to actually go after you. I would encourage them to do so, in fact.
Sincerely, Miranda Lawson, XO SSV Normandy SR2

Title: Status of Commander Shepard. From: scientistsalarian@googlegalaxy.com
Was given to understand you're responsible for current mental state of Shepard. Need her focused at bigger threats than you. Team very concerned for her well-being. Suggest old naval tradition of walking the plank should be applied to you. If unsuccessful - have state-of-the-art lab. Not afraid to use it.

We have come to the conclusion: Shepard-Commander would be much more focused at defeating the Old Machines have you been eliminated. We do not forget. Expect us.

Authoranon here. Thank you for enjoying it!
I don't actually hate Kaidan. I like him just fine. I just disagree with what passed for his character developement in ME2. BioWare dropped the ball on it and I felt the need to express my opinion. Thanks to this prompt, I could do it shamelessly. :)

OP - I don't hate Kaiden either. My main Shepard even remained loyal to him. I just think he could use a few strongly worded emails to get his head on straight. And it's also fun to see the other crew members stick up for Shepard. :)
Thank you for writing these! They're so much fun. And the email addreses cracked me up.

Yay! Seems we had exactly the same idea in mind, then! This anonauthor aims to please! <3 Thank you for enjoying. And commenting on the addresses, I was trying very hard.

Authoranon,
Let me start that I had bad premonitions before reading this. I saw the prompt title and immediately passed judgement and decided I would not be reading this fill. If not clear, I am an avid shipper of Kaidan and Jane Shepard and lover of Mr. Alenko in general.
The way you handled this prompt however was splendid. You weren't bashing Kaidan per say, but rather focusing more on his actions and how they affected Shepard and inadvertently affected her crew. This was such a pleasure to read. I loved the mesh of crack and subliminal tenderness on the crew's part -- even Jack.
Some personal favorites of mine:
hospitalhottie@Cerberus.net Why could I totally see Chakwas having this as her email address?
"If unsuccessful - have state-of-the-art lab. Not afraid to use it." Protective Mordin is too cute.
"Also I have a shotgun." Oh, Tali -- how you've grown up.
It's safe to say that I enjoyed each piece equally however. I'd probably end up quoting the whole fill if I went on.
Will you be doing another round with Thane, Jacob, Kasumi, Ken and Gabby (these two are one person in my mind), and Zaeed? Just curious -- you've all ready done quite enough so I don't want to press anymore upon you!
In short: Thank you for such a lovely fill, authoranon!

I'm so glad a real Kaidan fan like you enjoyed this little fic. And especially I'm glad you're spot on about what I was trying to convey.
You could see it being Chakwas' email address because she's like Helen Mirren! Massive mature hotness, that's why! :)
I think I might do more emails, but I have to figure out how to handle them first. I will include Ken and Gabby, definitely, and of course they will write the email together.

I am not a Kaidan fan, but I don't like character-bashing fics either. You managed to hit the right balance of attacking him for his actions without attacking his character. It's very human reaction of all the characters, and this actually made me like Kaidan more. I found his personality rather bland, but the idea that he can inspire such strong reactions in people makes him more appealing.
Anyway, the teal deer version of all that is this was fantastic and I heartily enjoyed it.

So what Miranda is saying is that the Normandy crew doesn't have any money. What they do have is a set of very specialized skills, skills they've learned over a long career, skills that make them a nightmare for him...

I loved this... Legion is my love. He's like a lost little puppy and I just wanna hug him! It's nice to see him as protective of Shep as she is of him!
