Jack hummed vaguely to himself as he rummaged through the cabinets for some canned soup, then frowned. Where did he know the tune ( Read more... )

In retrospect, Kaidan should've known one of these times, one of his missions was going to run long. This long? Well, that hadn't really been in the cards at all, he'd thought, even with the Alliance lifting some of the restrictions on deploying him. But sometimes, one thing just... led to another, one mission necessitating another one ASAP ( Read more... )

Today was shaping up to be a busy day.

First of all, Kaidan got a call that morning - another mission, ship that had fallen out of contact. He was due to head out that evening, and that meant checking over his firearms and every other piece of equipment he had to make sure everything was still in shape ( Read more... )

Having a migraine aboard an Alliance shuttle on the tail-end of a mission... hadn't exactly been an easy ride. Now that he was back at Fandom, though, Kaidan was grateful he at least wouldn't be collapsing on the couch this time-- dragging his way up the stairs hadn't been easy the first time around ( Read more... )

After the events of last night, Kaidan wasn't sleeping so well. In fact, he was awake again by the time the sun came up, just... sitting around in his room. Waiting.

He'd neatly burned an egg on the stove, had a few sandwiches, then had a few more sandwiches - whoever he had been hadn't known how to eat according to a biotic's requirements - washed the dishes, picked up ( Read more... )

Kaidan didn't really know where he was, but that wasn't really such a surprise these days. The house itself seemed empty - another upside, because he'd never actually gotten as far as waking up in other people's houses ( Read more... )

It took Kaidan at least four minutes to get the key in the lock and the door open-- four minutes of poking the door with the key, four minutes of trying to figure out which way to turn that key while spots danced in front of his eyes ( Read more... )

Jack was gone for Thanksgiving and Kaidan didn't really have any classes to teach - or any preparation to put into them. He had an empty house and no real work to pour himself into; his parents had celebrated Thanksgiving over a month ago, and...

Well, Allie was probably still around, since she couldn't leave. But she was outside, and going ( Read more... )
