Gifts:
Rawdon:

There's a red string that leads out of his apartment into the hall and tied to this fellows bridle:
he is outfitted with a fine saddle, and he's very tame.
There's also a gift box of cigars, like the ones he smoked at home. And some silk boxershorts.
With a note: If the horse is too much AJ said she'll take him up at the biodome, And the boxershorts are optional.
Love,
Elyssa

Ashley:

A set of photos of JR, TK and Addie. And one of them with the three together in the same room, the shot is candid. With a handwritten note: I still miss them, Kid. He hasn't pushed them out, just filled the hole they left behind.

Darcy:

With a handwritten note: Since you gave the one I gave to you back. I don't remember when I got them, so I don't know if they're your time accurate. But if you return these I might be insulted.

Miguel and Sarah:

A ton of samples and chemicals and science gadgets from the Normandy with a note:
I don't know what half this stuff is, but I know you both can figure it out. It's from the Normandy. Shaaare.
Merry Christmas
Miguel would also receive a Candid black and white photo of Sarah, and Sarah would get one of Miguel.

All the Sullys (including Ashley and Sarah):

A simple framed and matted (Black frame white two inch mat) photos of the last time they were all together. Tom, Izzy, and all the babies, with smaller single photos of the missing Sullys. (even the ones from the island).

	There might be some instructions on the Normandy's computers, you can come in any time and look. You and Sarah both have all access. It's one of my favorites of her, and I thought you'd like it too. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I love that your reaction was “sure!” either way. I meant the horse, but if you had something else in mind for later.... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Of course, I trust you. And I seriously doubt it would be anything I regretted jumping in for.

I'm riding with you right? Because I've ridden a horse all of a handful of times, and none were very successful. Your Dad tempted me on the back of one of his, which this one is from his stock by the way, and promptly fell off. I thought he was going to die he laughed so hard.

	I'm very glad to hear it. This made me laugh way more than necessary at your expense, I'm sorry! But yes, yes, I was planning on doing a sort of Prince Charming thing and having you ride with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Don't be sorry, it means you're Prince Charming. But.. you kind of were before the horse.

There's something else I want to give you, and I should give it in person but it's stupid and my palms are already sweaty, and it would be more symbolic than anything else which is why it's stupid... So ~~fuck~~ as long as you have your phone on you, you should be able to get on and off the Normandy, even if I'm not on. Not that you couldn't before, but... well, do you get what I'm giving you?

	You like them? It? Oh yeah I was doing something. That's right. I might have got distracted by the amazing image of you mostly naked on horseback. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Text commander_shep 2019-01-12 04:15 am UTC (link)
	Yes you are. In more ways than the sexy one. Not to take this to a grim place, but you probably, seriously, saved my life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Handwritten note, folded over and sealed with wax]

Dear Commander Shepard,

I would like to thank you for your thoughtful gift. I certainly have no intention of returning them. They're beautiful, although of course I hope I never have a cause to use them for other than recreation.

I hope that you, Colonel Crawley, and the twins have had an enjoyable Christmas.

God bless, and all the best for the coming new year ,
Fitzwilliam Darcy

[a typed out Note because fuck pen and ink and papercuts, it is hand signed at the bottom though.]

Dear Darcy,

I found the bill of sale for them, the guy that sold them to me said that they were operational, but if you use them for more decoration check them out very well. I don't know flint lock, or blackpowder, or I would have. Can't have you coming up with missing appendages, my Daughter already hates me can't imagine her sentiments if your present exploded or something.

They were JR's. So... yeah.

The twins say 'Tantu' for their gifts. And Thank you for mine.

Here's to happy beginnings for the New Year.

Commander Elyssa Shepard.
