Oh my I had a second tab open to have feels as I read but I got sucked right in :D

I love this fic. I think it should be required reading for the mass effect fandom.

Oh man that technician has a shitty day XD

This is really spoiling me for all other fanfics. Nothing else will ever be this good. The sheer detail you include is just amazing. The stuff on food, websites, video games, the sheer amount of porn Omega has, is one of the many things I just adore about this fic. When this is over, it will be one of the greatest novels I have ever read. Cannot wait for more. But I'll try.

Eloquently conceived, unequivocally written, marvelously executed, simply put; awe inspiring. The characters are beautifully fleshed out to the point that I start to wonder if this is actually published. BioWare should take a look at this and think about inducing this as canon, I know I have. I try and find only the best of the best (my opinion was similar to the Twisted Platypus) and when I found this I knew I had found just that. Speechless is a good term for how I'm feeling, but I am sure another word will fit back into that slot again. Just... Wow. Even though I am taking my time reading it (I am currently only on chapter 12 and feel shameful that I did not find this sooner) I want to let you know how brilliant it all is. Looking forward to more.

So when does it start getting super grimdark again? You can't have such a perfect cast of badasses with dark pasts without having them die one by one in the most heart-wrenching, brutal and bitch-tears-inducing ways possible.

Magnificent stuff all over. I ended up reading the whole thing in a few days, from start to finish and then a second time all the way through because it's so flipping good. Then I read Omega Noire, and was just as satisfied. This is the best portrayal of Garrus that I've ever seen aside from the games themselves, and the rest of the world of Omega is brilliantly fleshed out, and the detail taken on all the various alien species take it from good to spectacular. Fantastic job. This fic singlehandedly reversed my opinion of fanfiction, and for that you deserve the highest of honors. Very, very well done. Your work is an inspiration to me and, I'm sure, many others. Thank you.

I've looked all over for a story depicting Garrus during his Archangel days. Glad I finally found one so...perfect. Garrus was solid, your jokes were funny and expertly timed... good work here.

I'm also a huge fan of any author who takes the time to add an actual cover to their story.

This story is awesome. Such detail into something that the games unfortunately did not delve into. So much potential wasted. Anyway, I love this story, and I am looking forward to reading more.

fantastic stuff, keep it coming!

Yessssssss more turians!

Can't wait to see what Vortash does next. Very interesting that he used to be C Sec too.

I was so excited when I realized this updated I could barely read it, I kept getting distracted my my own squealing and flailing. And we've met the last of the crew! I'm so goddamn giddy I could explode. I wanna know mooooooore ._. Did Vortash know his old man? How's this shit going to go down? Where, when? Goddamn, how much time do we have left? I hope the crew gets to be around as an entity for a while before dear idiot Sidonis gets his ass kidnapped...

I love this fic like burning good sir or madam. I'll be waiting with utmost patience and occasional fits of OH GOD WHY DO I HAVE TO KNOW HOW IT ENDS?

Gonna admit that I was a bit disappointed when you revealed Vortash as another Turian, as you previously wrote you were leaning towards Quarian. But then you gave him awesome character hook like you always do and I was totally sold. I won't blame you if Vortash says "I'm getting too old for this shit" in a later chapter. Expecting some awesome stuff between him and Garrus.

And so the assault on the major merc groups begins. The beginning of the end. Hope to still see Zel'Aenik before the end. "Quarian serial killer" is just too juicy of a story hook.

"all of whom were competing for most dark and troubled past" lulz this is true

lmao butler and sensat your pissing contest never gets old

:C Oh garrus your mom

oooh so vortash is gonna join up

AW YISS I WAS HOPING FOR THAT oh garrus you should be more careful

Always awaiting more :)

Well looks like he finally dragged his sorry ass back to the base! I enjoyed that little chase more than I probably should have. And hell, out of all the people to slip off to get laid (even unintentionally) Ripper was only slightly above Melanis in unlikleyness for me, so that snippet was surprising, and amusing as hell when he realized he didn't remember shit worth of the intel he was trying to get out of him.

Loving these little vigenettes between missions, hoping we'll actually get to see from Sidonis' POV in one of them.

Oh Garrus you little shit... That was colossally stupid. But damn I loved reading it. I've really been enjoying all of the little details from the game you've been weaving in here, particurally the Noted Criminal Deaths. It ties the threads of fic to the history and it's just imprinting all of the stuff going on in here as real backstory to me.

Your writing is engrossing and realizing I only have one chapter left before I have to wait again kind of sucks ; It's been a hell of a ride for the last few days and I'll be with you through to the end, however long that is. I hope it goes on for a long time.

... Fuck. Seriously, just... fuck.

The fic has been pretty intense, but that was just on a completely different level. I can't even make intelligent commentary, just stare and nod approval at how goddamn strong this was.
