Summary
2181: Torfan.
Kaidan's moved on and is in a steady relationship, living with Jennifer Hackett, the Hero of Elysium when he receives a call from Anderson during hour twenty of the Torfan siege. Wracked with guilt over sending Eris away without the requested help, he packs a bag.
After the horrific events are revealed in full, Kaidan takes her back to the cabin on the edge of the family orchard; the one he renovated and his in after returning from BaAT.
Ch4 is all smut.
She looked like a wisp of smoke about to vanish altogether, and if the fresh scars were anything to go by, she had a hell of a story.
Kaidan slumped into an armchair by the crackling fire and tapped his OmniTool. After just three rings, she answered.
"I love her, Mom. What do I do?"
It was both that simple and that complicated.

Summary
[Redacted] Shepard went into Akuze. It was supposed to be a routine mission.
It wasn't.
They were thrown from doctor to doctor, therapist to shrink to psychiatrist. At the end of the day, it was Captain Anderson that saved their life. He had them assigned to the Normandy and put under the care of Karin Chakwas, the ship's doctor. All they needed was to be left alone.Everyone says Shepard was the only survivor of that hellscape mission, but they didn't make it out either.

Summary
A short story spanning 2176 to 2177.
The last person Kaidan expects to see on the ship he’s serving on is Eris, but here she is, hitching a ride to her next assignment. Each intends to avoid the other for the sixteen-hour duration. But when the ship flies through a storm and sustains damage, chaos ensues, and they're forced to be professional. When she refuses to tell Anderson why she wants to leave, he refuses to budge on his decision, reminding her of her precarious position due to misconduct, forcing her to complete Commander training on his watch.
Have a snippet because I suck at summaries - more will be added in notes.
ETA: I combined Ch1 and 2 on 3rd January as I realised they were too short.
“Listen up. Here is your preliminary lesson - everything goes to shit the moment anyone fires the first shot. Doesn’t matter which side it is. If your weapons are not an extension of yourself, ingrained in your muscle memory and not a conscious choice, you will die first. If you want to stay alive, I suggest you pay attention.”

Summary
In 2174, Kaidan tired of Eris's inability to admit how she felt and her snappy, cold demeanour in general and transferred away from her. After a disastrous meeting at the Alliance Winter Gala, he stumbles across her in the Vancouver hospital, severely injured. He can't tear himself away, and with Anderson's question: Have any of your choices ever made your life better? lingering in her mind, Eris can't stay away either.
Her voice was muffled against him and thick with sobs, but he heard the words clearly because she said them over and over.
”Please don’t leave me.”
Eris continues to flit back to Vancouver between Black Ops, exploring the road never travelled - allowing herself to have hope, a home, and more importantly, allowing Kaidan to love her.
Whump. Fluff. Angst. Smut.

Summary
Six months after their break up, they bump into each other at an Alliance party.
The smile she gives is far from pleasant. A familiar disquiet and desire resurfaces, bringing into sharp focus just how numb he has felt in her absence. He heads to the bar for another drink.
In the hallway, Eris stood taking a final swig from the almost empty whiskey bottle, declaring that she drank the free bar. There is no doubt in his mind that she did. The air is thick with unspoken words, things she needs to say.
Kaidan covered her mouth with his hand and told her to be quiet, kicking the door shut.

Summary
A smutty fic to appease the brain worms, set in 2174 and the catalyst for this series.
A soft, slightly slurred murmuring stirred Kaidan from sleep. “Tell me you want me.” Lips hungrily trailing across his jaw. Her hands searched in the dark, running down his chest, thumbs digging into that V she couldn’t seem to get enough of with just the right amount of pressure.
Already starting to harden, he opened his eyes. “I always want you.” There’s a brief, pleased moan before she kisses him in her usual vicious way, one hand pulling at the waistband of his boxers.

Summary
[I'm terrible at these]
Taking place after "On the Horizon", Commander Jane Shepard continues her pursuit and investigates threats of the Reapers without Commander Lieutenant (and boyfriend) Kaidan Alenko at her side. Per Captain Anderson's orders, they cannot work together so long as they are romantically involved.
During her investigations, the Normandy comes in contact with an enemy vessel that begins firing upon them immediately. After ensuring her crew is safe, Jane is the last survivor of the Normandy to board the escape pod - or so she thought.
This story is an alternative take on Mass Effect 2. My standalone fic titled "This Is It" is what started and inspired the story you are about to read. I hope you enjoy, and please check out "On the Horizon" if you haven't.
