Summary
It had been supposed to be over. Finally over. The galaxy would never know how fragile their victory had been. And with Project Janus taken down, nobody would ever get another chance to interfere with history. Not even themselves. Not even after realizing that they’d gotten it all wrong.
This is part 3, the final part of this story. If you’re interested in reading it, I’d recommend giving part 1 a try first, story makes a lot more sense that way – but then, who am I to tell you what to do. Other than that, the usual applies: Kaidan's perspective, no sex scenes, set all over the place (and time), kissing canon goodbye, but now we're finally fixing it for good. After first breaking it a little more, of course.

Summary
Kaidan did walk away from Shepard on Horizon, and he’d had his reasons. No regrets. Well, some regrets, maybe. About how it had all gone down, about not giving them a chance to actually talk. So when Shepard comes to see him, he doesn’t walk away.
Three little scenes for the three times Shepard and Kaidan actually did meet after Horizon and before the Reapers attacked. And it comes with pictures! So if you don’t want to read it, you can still click on it to take a look at the lovely art.

3D renders accompanied by a couple of lines of text, sometimes more, sometimes less. No particular order. Will most likely remain SFW.

Summary
The war is won, the Reapers have been defeated, Shepard's in a hospital on the Citadel, so naturally that's where Kaidan is, too, waiting for him to be released. The Alliance already has a new job for Shepard, which sounds rather boring at first, but Kaidan is determined to stay by his side nonetheless. But first, Shepard finally gets to meet Kaidan's mom.
Set after ME3, a sequel to "I'm Awake Now", so if you haven't read that, many things won't make sense to you. As per last time: exclusively Kaidan's perspective, no sex scenes.
And again it's possible to stop reading after this part and still get a proper ending if you don't feel like reading the third, even longer (really, it's very long) part.

Summary
It's been one year since the victory over the Reapers. Shepard's death had hit Kaidan hard, but he'd been ok: He'd returned to active duty, had accepted that he was grieving, but had been getting over it. Until he'd realized that he was not ready to move on after all - and that maybe he didn't have to.
Story is set during ME1&ME3, most things are pretty much canon, until they aren't. Can be read as a standalone fic (in case you kind of like it, but not enough to want more of it), has a proper ending, part2&3 are completely optional.
Exclusively Kaidan's perspective. No sex because I don't enjoy writing sex scenes, you'll have to use your imagination.

Summary
In the aftermath of the Reaper War, Kaidan and Shepard live their post-war lives in happy comfort. Then they're called on a mission to help investigate a reaper signal found on an abandoned ship. Their easy investigation mission quickly goes south as old reaper tech pulls them into a world of danger, violence, and bad memories. It's up to Kaidan to find out what's going on and get him and Shepard home safe. Which would all be a lot easier if Shepard remembered him.
