Incredibly poignant. It's always wonderful to find someone who can demonstrate the pain that Shepard and her LI endure on their journey through the series. It's not all one big happy victory party.

Also, I want to do my part to keep a baby Reaper from getting its wicked-killing-laser-thingie.

This was so emotional and painful. I loved it.

...that threat for not reviewing was actually a rather scary one -
nice story, heartbreaking though it was

This made me cry a little...just a little...u deserve a medal...so sad

That was so incredibly sad. Very well written.

i loved this... very nice. i hope you write more fshep/miri fics..

I actually read this quite some time ago, didn't review, and feel quite the scumbag now.

Fixed! I'm back to being a good person. Your writing is consistently excellent, and thus I demand you abandon the rest of your life and focus solely on writing Mass Effect fiction k thanx!

Also, I'm going to go hug my son now. He will think I am strange.

Very good! Not many authors draw on Miranda's infertility whenever she complains about her perfection. It certainly gives her self-loathing more credibility than, 'My daddy gave me all this PERFECT and now I ANGST!'

Beautifully written ! It was so sad...

Although I've never had the desire for children, this still hit a cord with me. Probably because of your writing, plus the fact you write these pairings very well & naturally. You deal with emotions very well.

Somehow missed this one and only read it after reading it was a prequel I another story. Love it and your writing!

This is fantastic fill. I love me some good angst, and you've delivered in spades here.

Plus there really isn't enough good ME femslash, especially of rarer pairings. Keep up the great work!

bEAUTIFUL STORY. yOU MIGHT WANT TO CHANGE THE STATUS TO 'COMPLETE' THOUGH, SINCE YOU HAVE ALREADY WRITTEN A SEQUEL.

Very touching. Being not expert on a subject myself, I would say that you got it right enough. Looking forward to your next story!

Throughout ME2 I didn't really pay much attention to Miranda. Didn't like her character at all, and didn't have the time for her. But when I read over her Broker dossiers on my third playthrough...it really hit home.

Infertility is something that some don't mind having(lots of people don't want kids), but I'd imagine virtually all would like the ability to create life, would like to at least have the option.

I wasn't sure I wanted to read this because of the subject matter but I'm a goddamn sadist I guess. Still, this hurt for the right reasons. Shep works so hard to foster life in the galaxy, to protect life, to bring out its highest potential. For her to be denied the ability to bring new life into the galaxy she saves, she unites...it's tragic.

Thanks for writing this. It's a really nice story :)
