ALSO after some time spent wrestling with my headcanon about why she picked Kaidan over Ashley I went ahead and completed the romance JUST TO SEE IF IT ACTUALLY DID WHAT I NEEDED IT TO, and it's fantastic--what you said about it being understated and subdued was what attracted me to it in the first place. And like I said, Kaidan's actually pretty stable--traumatic experiences in his past, yeah, but he's grown and accepted them and works as a human being, and he relies on Shepard and she can rely on him regardless of whether or not they can fully express it and that has basically got me hook line and sinker.
(on a side note, my seventeen-year-old has-just-started-playing-M-rated-games sister Goose and I were discussing the romance this morning and MAN it is weird to think of my baby sister playing a character doing the sexytimes. Although to her credit she TRIED TO GET OUT OF IT and then TURNED OFF THE MONITOR WHEN SHE REALIZED IT WAS UNAVOIDABLE. My sister is the sweetest.)
