Wow, this has a been a great story. There have a couple points where I questioned whether she would do that or not, but overall I believed it. I don't know if I would have had her so protective over Kaidan that she would abandon him, but it worked well enough. It didn't stop me from enjoying the ride. It feels like this story needs one or two more chapters to make it feel complete. It's almost 99 percent there. Just needs a touch more. Not a big deal the way it is now, but I hope that you give it a conclusion that it deserves. Good work and I hope you are still writing!

That was so wonderful.

ahh such a heart wrenching ending to this chapter. amazingly done!

Nice work, once again. I like that you had Shepard hand the Collector base over to the Illusive Man - I think many were probably expecting you to go for the other option, considering she's still trying to get Kaidan to trust her again. That really stood out to me as a curveball I didn't see coming in this fic and I like that.

So now we're on to ME3 territory. Can't wait to see where you take this. And I too am excited to see what you might do with Shepard's time in an Alliance brig.

That last sentence...you killed me with the feels. Beautifully written. This is head canon. She's called to her duty first.

It was so nice to see Kaidan rational and non-judgemental. And I'm glad they had some sweet and hot time together. ;)

It is sad that just when they've made up she's going to lose him again (this time to being locked up on Earth). Loved the chapter and looking forward to the next one! I'm curious how you're going to handle her six months of incarceration!

That smut scene was just delicious. I have to say you're one of the best smut writers out here. I'd tell you to only write Shenko smut, but that would only give me some more nosebleed lol.

Again, great chapter, and I can imagine Kaidan being hurt again. But he'll pull through, he has to, otherwise it would break my Shenko heart :-(

Anyway, great chapter and update soon :-)

God, I love this. I hope there's more soon!

Never liked that, governments are worthless now and they are worthless in the future.

All caught up but too lazy to log in, lol. Still great stuff, hope to see more soon!

The universe demand s that you continue this! It's just too epic to be left to rot as so many other stories have been! I like your writing style as it is easy to read but not too basic or boring, the storyline is dynamic and very interesting, I have never benn bored by any part of it, overall, it's an excellent story, and I insist you continue with it. :)

Haha, nice ending. Bet Shepard's excited to have a hot date though.

Great chapters as usual, and Merry Christmas! I'll continue to read until I'm caught up.

Lovely chapter.

Great story so far! Literally cannot wait for the next update. So sorry about your loss in your family. My condolences and I hope everything gets better soon.
Keep up the awesome work!
