I haven't seen a lot of Renegon Shepards, so I was pretty cautious of yours-and yet by the end of this, I loved her! She had depth, she had humor and hidden softness, issues and philosophizing...and her relationship with Garrus was oh-so-wonderful. I love Paragade Sheps, but this was definitely a refreshing and well-done take on one outside the box.

Just died and went to heaven

Excellent story!

OHH! Intense chapter! Amazing!

I really wasn't sure I liked your Shepard at first. But as I read, I found that you got here the perfect idea : she seemed so cold, and it was perfectly logical with how hard her life had been. But yet you managed to show humanity, thanls to Thane and Garrus of course.
Love is the only way to make her more HER again, and it's beautifully done.
I also loved your writing : it was really clever to start the action with the Collector's base and do some flkashbacks : it's really well done.
I really really loved this fic, and I'm gonna read the other ones, thank you very much for this story !

(hope this review is clear, I'm french, so not so easy to explain how I feel in english!)

That was awesome! What a fantastically unique Shepard! I loved this. You are a glorious writer of emotion. Thank you for all your hard work on this.

I love this! I totally love this! The relationship between Garrus and Shepard is just great. Completely different from the others. I'm only sad that Jacob and Samara were killed I thought everyone would've lived after, but it's you story and it still turned out great.

I am going to quote you to you...

"She laughed, short and almost hysterical, and then looked to one side, the laugh fading into a sob. Then the sob multiplied and she covered her face with her hands. Her throat tensed as she fought against her tears, her shoulders heaving with her stifled weeping. Garrus swore and stepped toward her, his arms enfolding her and dragging her into his chest.

"It's alright," he whispered into her hair. "You don't have to be Commander Shepard right now."

In that quiet space, in that stolen moment, Garrus Vakarian was the only person in the universe who would ever see Elrika Shepard break."

Those words right there...that is what makes you a writer...no an author! You have a gift, NEVER stop writing.

you really have a strong grasp of story structure and you use it to pack the most emotional power into each chapter I love it!

I have to say, this story is absolutely fantastic! I haven't finished it yet; I was waited to reach the end before I reviewed, but I couldn't wait. You must know how awesome you are, right? 'Cause you are freakin' awesome!

I loved this.
