I just found this fic, and am really intrigued. I would definitely like to see this story continue. (PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE!) Great start!

Well you've got me curious. A bit confused about the timeline though or is it AU?
Anyways I like your to the point style of writing. No overbearing drama was needed to give a tense atmosphere and this made ur fic so much more different than any other story. Can't wait for an update.

Just found this while perusing the older stuff. I think it is a strong start and would love to read more.

And now I'm sooo happy I checked the rest of your work. After reading "Timeless to Me," I had to look at the other stuff you did. This story has promise and I can't wait to see what you do with it. I read the request because I was dying to know what to expect and now I'm really excited to read more.

I'm also hoping the rating gets switched to an M. You're great with M ratings, in my humble opinion as proven in Timeless. (I'm such a damn perv, ha!)

Anyway, keep up the great work and I've got this story on Alert.

Nice start to the story ) I'm looking forward to see where this is going!

As always, I love it. You always get so worked up over new fics, and they're always intriguing, well thought out, and leave me wanting more. Now, if only you could remember that one random person you so villainously forgot in your notes... :-P

oh, yayyy! i've been anticipating this for quite a while now. :D i'm so happy that you found the time to get this out!

great world building in these first parts; the mention of soil erosion was a really nice touch. i like that you've chosen an area once familiar to your audience in order to indicate how much time has passed.

"She was rather good at that, changing his plans for him. And it usually pissed him off."

i love that line, and i love that i knew who he was thinking about without you even having to type her name. it seems very natural that garrus would think of her like that, too - thinking "she" immediately because he's so familiar with her.

ahhh, i really like these flashbacks, too. it makes me want to keep reading, to find out what happened. i love so much that they're exes and that they've got this complicated history together. i'm excited to learn the details!

i do like the point of view shifts. it creates a full view of the picture, and i like being inside their heads so that each thought process is more known to me. you do that kind of thing well, and it adds a lot to your stories.

you've got a great use of language, and the way you sprinkle in terms true to the mass effect universe really help to flavor it.

the dialog between joker and mirari is adorable - i was definitely smiling along with them. great characterization of joker (even with how brief it was), and i feel like i learned a lot about mirari in that tid bit too. i like her!

i also like how much garrus is stressing over her. as a third party to all of this, it's kind of hilarious. he seems so nervous. and kind of bitter!

"He must have made some sort of noise, because her head swiveled first to the right, then the left before her light brown eyes found him. For a long moment, there gazes locked, and for the second time in as many minutes, it felt like no time had passed and they'd never parted ways."

awww, amanda, that passage was so sweet and huuuuu hfgjkfdhgf

it made me feel sad. i want them to reunite asap!

AHHH GARRUS YOU'RE SO AWKWARD!

"People had eaten bullets upon receiving that particular look,"

fgkjhfd

god, i like mirari more and more.

"'Hey, you're looking well, by the way, why'd you stop answering my personal messages? Oh, and your job promotion? YOU'RE FUCKING WELCOME.'"

omfggg

i HAVE A GIANT CRUSH ON MIRARI

oh goodness these pairings

i mean

i think i'm sensing pairings and

me gusta

i love your characterization of ashley - it's so perfect. 33

OH

I DID SENSE A PAIRING

YAY CONFIRMATION

"Stop sending me FaceSpace invites!"

gkjtkrthg

dying

and god, your careful plotting has me drooling. i'm so interested in this; like, most fanfic, i think people bulldoze through the plot and keep reading for the pairing, but your plot is actually very well thought out and it's holding my attention quite well.

shdghsha i love kal'reegar so much

KAL'REEGARxTALI FOREVER

"What's the old Marine motto, Skipper? 'Marines don't plan; they improvise'?"

love it

and, as always, your characterization of garrus is amazing; you really bring him to life and make me appreciate who he is. you are still one of the only people who can make me like him, but you're well aware of that by now! i feel awkward and embarrassed for garrus, and i want things to work out for him.

mirari is great. this whole fic is great. i can tell that you've spent a lot of time thinking about this, and it's shaping up into something wonderful. i really cannot wait to read more. right now, i'm feeling very, very happy that you happened upon that kinkmeme request. hope you update soon. :)

The prompt intrigued me, too. I think my feelings on your work so far can best be summed up as, "Moar plz." Looking forward to it.

Wow! amazing directive! It's also nice to see the different perspectives from each character.

Shepard's antagonism Garrus' acrimony strong stuff.

Can't wait to see what happens in the future!

.Up

Oh, I love how gloriously funny-yet-angsty this is. Especially joker and the crack about FaceSpace. Looking forward to more.

I've just read a prompt... very interesting, I'm sticking around to find out if you can pull that off :) The start looks very promissing, the back and forth between Ash and Kal'Reegar is hilarious (interesting pairing by the way) and Shepard's lines about how she wanted to hug him, but then he opened his mouth totally made my day. Looking forward to the next chapter!

I dunno... does a review by a Beta count? LOL

Hurry up and write the next chapter!

So all of the accumulated hype at TCR was not unfounded. I love this, it's a very interesting and different prompt. I enjoyed all the nods you gave to your preferred non-canon pairings as well, that little secret you gave me did not leave me disappointed once I actually came across it. I tried to find technical things or writing choices that I found poor so that my review could be all helpful and intelligent-like, but I couldn't. :P Well, the phrase "pain in the gizzard" felt a little odd to me, with the translators and all I imagined anything along that line would be translated into the common "pain in the ass" phrase. But that was all I could really find. Garrus' ability to put his foot in his mouth after all of those years was very appreciated, I don't think he'd ever outgrow that LOL. I like how you've written Garrus and Shepard though, they definitely feel like exes and not everyone can accomplish that well like you did. There's just enough tension, angst, and "I WANT THEM BACK TOGETHER NAO"-ness to make me want to read every future chapter. Keep up the good work, Luna. :)

Rather intriguing start. Looking forward to seeing how things pan out in this little endeavor.

Aaaw no! I really need to find out what happens! Update soon Manda :D
