I absolutely adored your story. This has some of my favorite Tali and Shepard interactions from all of the stories I've read on this site so far. Also love how it starts at ME1 unlike any of the others I've which tend to start at ME2 or later. I like how you changed it so Tali/Shepard developed feelings for each other during the Saren adventure, the way you wrote them made it feel very natural. And since Tali canonically falls in love with Shepard early on it just makes a lot of sense to write a story with that in mind. Super feel good story all around, it made me smile a lot. A little unfortunate it wasn't fully completed with your vision in mind but I think it ended off on a high note which is satisfying enough after how much enjoyment it gave me. Thanks for writing the wonderful story, I loved it.

Loved this story. Thank you

I just found this story the other day (way late, I know), and though I'm disappointed you chose not to continue it through ME3, the choices you made here for the back half made up for that. Very original and highly entertaining.

Thank you for writing such a wonderful story

This is a really great story all around. After all these years I still think you're the best when it comes to writing the Shepard/Tali romance.

One criticism though: it was frustrating and OOC for Shepard to be so quickly resigned to his fate after being falsely imprisoned. Illos and defeating Sovereign? No big deal. Suicide mission? Easy. Getting out of jail? Impossible!

Reading this while playing the remaster was a emotional ride. Really loved how you added more quiet moments thorough the games and made them get together in me1. Sad about the ending but hope you were able to get a spark for writing other stories. All in all thanks for a great story!

Absolutely amazing story you told here. Saying that ending was bittersweet is a huge understatement. Don't know if you still read these, But you are definitely one of the best writers on this site.

I'm gonna go cry myself to sleep now lol

I'm crossing my fingers for Shepard to have the absolute smuggest grin on his face when Thessia and Palaven come under attack by the Reapers.

Simply the best love scene I've ever read. Classy, descriptive enough to play like a movie in my mind, and intensely arousing! Their characters have ascended beyond simple "Love" and are soul-bound... I could feel the magic of the moment. You've earned a new fan.

Absolutely phenomenal. I couldn't help but shed laughter & tears of joy and sadness. They're soulmates!

Well that was certainly an interesting story

:'( this is such a gift..I'm "happy sad". But it was beautiful.

Mass effect didn't gave us the ending we wanted (not that it was bad, just... well you know..).. The ending of tali and shepard was incredibly frustrating and there wasn't closure.

this brings me peace..
Take care,

Your a genius! this is great. the perfect tali zorah shepard. I bow before.. Thank you.

And here we go again... Just when I think I can make it through a Mass Effect fanfic where Shepard consistantly displays common sense, a simple visit to the Citadel indoctrinates Shepard into full retard mode. Maybe if Shepard truly loved Tali he'd actually think about how his actions effect her, and when his options are in conflict with his morals it'd be nice to see Shepard not pout after choosing to do the "right thing."

Good history
