thanks for this, that is all i can really say for this experiance

Thank you for this wonderful, well written, saga. Maybe someday we will have another Mass Effect series as beloved as this one and you will feel like 'uplifting' it with your own tale once more.

good this ended as it should be liara and the original (the beginning of this tremendous saga) ended together in the beyond and not with other annoying OC invented to get the rage and send the whole story to the trash.

I'm still saying and I'll always have a way to reach everyone that is impressive, your writing is soul-touching and your imagination touches both black and white but you look gray and I like that, thank you for sharing these stories.

sabes este capitulo estuvo increible pero me fastidio y me sigue fastidiando que Liara este con Sam o cualquier otro o otra que decidas poner como nuevo companero de enlace para liara echando a la mierda la union tan poderosa que mostraste en las 4 historias anteriores y eso(lo odio de verdad cuando se toman las relaciones como mera recreacion o mera basura, por que cuando juegas con el corazon de otros es jugar con su alma y eso para mi es imperdonable), en mi opinion si uno ama realmente a un ser sea de la raza que sea o genero que sea hasta en la muerte y despues de ella se es fiel a ese ser y ese amor que se profezan por que si no es cierto para que perder tiempo,me has hecho arrepentirme de nuevo de que realmente deseaste juntar a liara con Del desde que iniciaste dark energy, pero bueno no quiero desportricar todo mi odio hacia voz que vos has causado en mi con liara y sam arggg,no digo que cuando uno pierde a su companero baya por otro para ocupar el maldito puesto pero hay distintas formas de amar pero esta infidelidad no la aceptare simplemente ignorare que liara quiere a Sam mas que a la propia Del.

de resto es simplemente hermoso como logras tocar el alma de las personas con tu escritura gracias por el capitulo.

And now I see why Sam was necessary, or at least her "exobiotics." I guess all that remains now is-why make her marry ~Liara? Why not Irie, or Mel, or Lily? What was your authorial intent?

I feel bad for Sam. She really is second. Despite her existence, Del keeps showing up and proving that she's Liara's true love. I know this fic is years years old but if you still read reviews-what were you thinking, when you conceptualized her? I mean. Not in a mean or flamey way, just, why does she exist as a character? I liked Sam in Best Left Said but now...well. She wouldve been better received if she hadn't been Liara's bondmate tbh.

But, no. Your fic, your choices. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend.

Oh my goddddd oh my god liara just killed eir's daughter. WHYYY can eir never be happy? Why is Liara/Liara's family constantly taking away the people she loves?

I read through the reviews and it's true, Melara's reaction to Sam is basically my reaction to her as well. I hate that she exists, I hate that Liara says I love you to her, and every time she comes on screen or is mentioned I want her to die. And the thing is: the fact I feel so strongly about this means you've made me care so much about your world, your fic, and even though this sounds like a flame I want you to know that only a truly talented writer could make one's fanbase feel this strongly. Congratulations.

I love the dark energy series, I love Riot, I love Sihra-especially Sihra in best left said-but oh, it hurts my heart that Liara has a new bondmate, it really does. As someone whose father remarried, I guess it's just really painful to me? And it would hurt me if my stepmother got pregnant. I don't know why I'm saying this, it's probably because it's 3:25 AM, but. I just wanted to say: your fics make me feel things, which can be alternately good and bad, but definitely means you're talented as fuck.

I wish Liara hadn't moved on-I can only imagine how horrible it is for Sam (I assume this is Sam from best left said) to be bonded with Del Shepard's widow, but ultimately it's your fic, and the internet is so much better for these fics existing. The fact that I'm still grieving Eir and Shrive...god. Anyway. I just needed to say this. thank you for writing.

Great work!

This was actually one of my favorite Mass Effect stories, and reading it a second time made me tear up a bit. I almost had forgotten how invested I had become in these characters. Thank you for that. That being said, I'll try to offer my honest assessment. Your explanation for the Reaper technology in the first place is plausible, and more than likely factual, though physics not being my strong suit I can't confirm that. While the story was engaging sometimes it was a little too technical to follow readily (have I mentioned that physics is not my strong suit?), but after rereading some of those passages I was sort of able to follow along. I love that Liara and Del reunite, though silly rabbit, we are going to have to discuss your concept of shmexy. I'm fairly certain my evangelical parents have read more strongly rated stuff on Sundays. Never fear - if you ever decide to include some actual shmexiness in your stories I would be more than happy to write above said passages so as not to offend your delicate sensibilities *cue wickedly evil laugh*. I still have in my head to do "A day in the life of Del Shepard and Liara T'Soni" at some point, but alas the writers block bug has been brutal as of late.

But not for the shmexiness. Never for that.

Anyways, this story has a vaguely Honor Harrington early series feel to it, though it was more engaging and much easier to read (have I mentioned the physics yet?), and I loved the parallels between Melara and her father. I'd welcome more stories on this group of characters from you at any time, and put it up against any other science fiction stories as one of the greats. Thank you again for your stories.

Great story great series...thank you for taking me along on this journey!

Somehow that update had gotten lost in my emails and I just now found an update email to chapter 65 and read these last five chapters. I'm now hiding in a corner at school on my lunch break because I don't want anyone to see me bawling my eyes out lol. I remember the first time I read the first DE story and how much I loved it and its ability to tap into raw emotions. You are truly, truly talented and I want to thank you so much for sharing your stories with us. Now I need to go dry my eyes (tears of happiness, of course) and jump into your new stories.

It's hard to write through the tears. This was so wonderful to read. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this wonderful epic. I mourned every loss of a shepherd or T'soni. I read for more hours than I could afford. I loved how beautifully the brink of death theme was created, maintained and resolved. I believed the characters and loved our heroes all over again. Thank you. It was so enjoyable that I hesitate to say anything negative - but it didn't have the humour of the game. Back to praise. LOVED the ending, both of DE3 and the final one of DE5. They were far more elegant than Bioware's sad effort. Thank you again :)
