* CrackPairing: [[invoked]] An extremely odd choice for the main pairing considering that in the games Captain/Rear Admiral Shepard and Councilor Sparatus were never even on the same planet at the same time. Not to mention that Hannah is a character who has maybe twenty or so lines of dialogue in the entire trilogy and ''only'' shows up if you have one particular background and ''never'' seen, while Sparatus is one of the Council and thus ''extremely'' plot important no matter which background you take. Nevertheless, it works.

* AirQuotes: A couple chapters consist of letters back and forth between Hannah Shepard, Councilor Sparatus, and eventually [[PlayerCharacter Commander Shepard]]. In one message to her mother, Commander Shepard complains indignantly about Sparatus using air-quotes on her in the canon incident that went {{memetic|Mutation}}, a gesture that Sparatus apparently picked up from Hannah (and it drove Shepard ''nuts'' when Hannah did it to her).
