I never really leave reviews, just because I don't think I have anything I can say to help. So as my first ever review I want to say... THIS STORY IS FREAKING AMAZING! I am a die hard Femshep Garrus fan and you totally just made my life so much better by changing the games ending to this ending. I LOVE IT! Thank you! now I will stop rambling and gushing like a starstruck crushee over this story.

I complained exactly the same!

How did I get here?
Why I have infinite ammo?
Whence came out that brat?
And why I have only three options it gives me him?

Aggg! Fuckin ending! That was traumatic!

A much better, happier succinct ending that feels more fulfilling, even years after ME3. Thanks! Great job!

Haha ten minutes later and im still giggling :D love the humour!

I think dan is reffering to the monastery on me3, where there are other ardat yakshi, where there are some datapads from other ardat yakshis, either way this story is so awesome! I like your ending better than the games.

This is so flawless I think I'm in love with you. Sacrificing the Sol system to destroy the Reapers? That is genius and heartbreaking but ultimately very realistic. Thank you for the great read.

i just finished it and ohmygosh loved it!

good god! i love this fic, would've been a much better ending then the original original one!

*cries*

I love it.

God, send this to Bioware. Your ending is more perfect than I could have ever imagined. Loved every second I read it. It had the friendship, the action, the suspence and just the overall Mass Effect had till the last 5 mins of the game. Your story deserves to be read more. Keep writing wonders like this one.
Loved it,
Insanity.

Infinitely better than what Bioware gave us, even with that Extended Cut they released. Kudos on a fic well written.

Soooo... why on earth- eh, in the galaxy didn't the frikin bioware writers consult their fanbase for ideas like this one? For goodness sake, it took them how long to scrap a potentially good ending for what they gave us, and you in less than two months give us an ending I most certainly count as a true ending to the ME series.
I say 'a' true ending because I've been reading a lot of fanfics in the last few days, and a few haven't gotten to a resolution.
Thank you for writing-
OH! Lol, the baby girl Krogan Eve. Haha, I know she's named for Burkara but when shep called her Evey, I was like, "hey, that's my name... :p"
I very much enjoyed the story, so thank you again.

in response to Author's note prior to reading this chapter:
Sad day!

Aaaawwww...I love the Garrus romance. It was the first one I attempted, in ME2, and I LOVED it. It got so much better in ME3 as well. Squeee! I just finished (almost, I'm retaking Earth right now) a run of all three games with a Kaidan romance and it's just not the same. Besides, at least Garrus was there for Shepard all three games; Tali, too. Yeahh...on to the next chapter review! By the time I'm done, this story will have 100 reviews. :DDD

Alright, I promised I would review each and every chapter, so here we go. First of all, YES. HALLELUJAH. I didn't think to question it the first time I played the game, but looking back on it, Shepard would NEVER agree to any of that! She would realize that destroying the Mass Relays would strand every fleet in the galaxy on Earth, because she's smart! Even bleeding to death, she would have known something was wrong. I love how she listed every single reason that the part on the Citadel made no sense; including the pistol that never ran out of ammo. I would have laughed if you'd put something in there about Marauder Shields, though. XD Okie dokie; on to the next chapter!
