jpgFury chapter 6 . 10/8/2014 Awwwwww - that was lovely and sweet and such a nice note for those two to end on! Thank you for posting this from the bottom of my heart - it was so nice to read a wrap up that worked soooo well and made me think of ME fondly again :) |
Lady Amiee chapter 4 . 1/31/2014 WHAT THE HELL, REAPER!? YOU CAN'T JUST KNOCK ON SOMEONE'S BLOODY DOOR AND MAKE THAT NOISE! YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME! WHAT IF THEY'D BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF SEXY FUN TIME DANCING AND ... Okay... Enough now, Amiee, calm down, reaper is sorry... Lol, anyway, really loved this chapter and the last line made me giggle like crazy! The toys too, nice touch. Well done babe, this is really interesting and fun to read and I enjoy it. Great work, sugar! |
TheWerdna chapter 6 . 12/4/2013 Very sweet ending/epilogue to a great post endive fic(okay, that sounded less redundant in my head) Glad to see that even in the control ending its possible for Shepard and Garrus to get a happy ending. Not sure what more to say on this one, so once again great job on this story, I really enjoyed it. |
TheWerdna chapter 5 . 12/2/2013 Awww, that was really sweet. For all the power Shepard now has, for all the vast intelligence she possesses as an AI, she still wants to be with Garrus, or rather, needs him to keep her sane. I wonder if this means Garrus is going to also join Shepard as an AI controlling the Reapers, as, he does point out he isn't immortal like her. Anyways, the dialogue was really well done here, with a good mix of humor and touching romance stuff. Good work, and now onto next one! |
TheWerdna chapter 4 . 12/1/2013 Lol, I love the fact that the Normandy crew's fame has already led to toys made of them Also, something about a a Reaper actually knocking on a door had me in stitches. The image that made in my mind is just priceless (granted, I may have added a tophat and a monocle to the Reaper in said mental image, but still.) Looks like the moment of truth is here, wonder how this'll all turn out. Anyhow, good job on this chapter, and on to the next one. |
TheWerdna chapter 3 . 12/1/2013 Ah, been awhile since I read the previous chapters. So it looks like the trio have a suspicion that Shepardlyst might be responsible, or rather that Shepard is (since as they said, no one is aware that Shepard took starbrat's place as Reaper overlord.) I am curious to see how they react to finding out Shepard's fate, and just to what extent the AI with her memories actually is Shepard or not. As for constructive criticism, the pacing felt a bit rushed at times, though nothing hugely distracting that took away from my enjoyment of it. Keep up the good work, and onto the next one |
Osage chapter 3 . 12/1/2013 Yay, they're finally figuring it out! Still I gotta say that the highlight of this fix is the bromance between Kaidan band Garrus. I just love their conversations and drunken silliness, makes me wish we got to see this side of Kaidan more in the games. I can't wait to see how Shepard plans to communicate with them and what this will mean for the post-control world. As always your writing is flawless and continues to be inspiring to me. Thanks for sharing! |
TheWerdna chapter 2 . 10/26/2013 Okay, If my guess is correct then Shepardlyst is the biggest damn troll in the universe. I mean, seriously, something about this seems far too much like she's pulling a prank if she is the one responsible for messing with Garrus' visor. Once again you seem to have a very good grasp on each character's speach patterns, and the dialogue was still funny humorous. One thing I think you might want to work on is the pacing, as the chapter did feel like it was going far too fast. Taking some time to describe each scene and give every moment a pit more weight would do the story some good, as right now things feel like they are going by a bit too fast. |
TheWerdna chapter 1 . 10/20/2013 I have to say, very interesting hook thus far. Since this is the control ending, why do I feel like Shepardlyst is responsible for screwing with Garrus' visor. Anyhow, the humor in this chapter gave me a good laugh, and the banter between Garrus and Kaidan was very well done. Besides that, not sure what else to say on this one. Cheers. |
Orifiel chapter 2 . 10/17/2013 "...aural canals" - I'd always been wondering what to call turians' not-ears, so thanks! Also, I just now read the parameters of the contest this was written for, so while that takes out some of the mystery, this premise is still great. Poor Liara; the pop song-haunted visor has worn out even her patience. I like the interactions in this chapter, the bickering and dialogue among all three of them, and Garrus's comical separation anxiety when he forks it over to Liara. But what I really liked was the way she analyzed the sound waves to reveal some sort of anomaly. I'm guessing that's how Shepard's message will get across? Can't wait to find out. Great chapter! |
Orifiel chapter 1 . 10/15/2013 LOL, oh, how I loved Garrus and Kaidan's reminiscing about the shenanigans Shepard had put the squad members up to. (Twerking Grunt... epic image!) This premise is intriguing, and while I've started coming up with my own guesses on what's going on with the self-downloading visor, I'm looking forward to seeing Garrus's reaction once he unveils the mystery. You did well showing what people have been doing post-Reaper War, and I like how you kept their activities ambiguous until the end (hunting trip during leave). The dialogue between Garrus and Kaidan flowed well and came off very naturally. It was great seeing how Shepard's death/disappearance/control!transcendence affected Garrus, and how he handles it. You can sense the persistent dull ache, but true to his character, he presses on and doesn't shy away from conversing about her. Awesome start to this story, and a really great idea depicting the control ending! |
MizDirected chapter 6 . 10/4/2013 I love this story. It makes me happy in the literal squeeee version of happy. I love the mystery, the characterization. I love the guys hanging out and how they interact with each other. Your characters always breathe with so much life and energy, popping off the page with passion. It makes your stories pure delight to read. This one is no different. I love the question at the beginning of this epilogue. It sort of sums up the whole story. It should be super creepy. We're supposed to be afraid to be indoctrinated, and yet, it's comforting, because Shepard has changed things to be okay. I also enjoy the fact, that unlike the dancing Hoodie Reaper, the galaxy looks at the Reapers and is like... not good. I don't care that they stopped attacking, they creep me the hell out. Because, let's face it, even if a giant head of Commander Shepard appeared over every planet everywhere and said... Hey guys, it's all cool. I'm in control of them and they're our friends now... people would still be creeped out by those things. Just a fantastic story. Thanks so much for entering this little mystery in the contest. |
Lady Amiee chapter 3 . 9/29/2013 We're getting closer! I can't wait to see the reactions when he finally talks to her. Kaidan drunk made me laugh, having to be carried out by Garrus and the twitchy smile/frown was a great little detail that put a grin on my face, a none twitchy grin too. This story is well thought out and easy to follow, so I'm really enjoying it so far. I can't wait for more hon! Kinda want shep to play 'I'm sexy and I know it,' why I don't know but the image made me laugh. |
Osage chapter 2 . 9/29/2013 You oughta know, that this is hilarious! The last place I though we'd find an Alanis Morrisette refence was Mass Effect. I love how Shep is slowly driving them crazy to the point where we get quips on Kaidan's hair. Keep it coming! |
Subject-Goto chapter 6 . 9/25/2013 I like the ending to this, you make it touching, that they get together, but also creepy in a way. But in the most humorous way possible. ("He just never thought it'd be so literal", awesome line to end on) I think Garrus' reaction to Reaper-Shep, and the way they interact with each other in this chapter seems accurate, and can be imagined in the setting of this story, whereas with other writer's it ma have seemed forced and unnatural. I spotted no grammatical errors that pulled me from the story. Well done, I thought this entire story was excellent, and I hope to read some more of your work. |
