Just a Crazy-Man chapter 13 . 3/6/2019
Epic work.

With the Turians scrambling to build up there forces but knowing the Turians likely kept reserve Dreadnought hulls that could be launched in a hurry to replace any ship in a hurry in emergency as me with ME tech takes a year to build a Dreadnought while weeks to build a Frigate and months a Cruiser once in full war mode and take out a lot of fancies much sooner to getting every ship in the fight.

I was thinking the Alliance Normandy class Frigates in service function as scouts while any Thanxi Cannons be slap on to any ship ready like Volus building for Turians get them rushed out of the yards maybe even dust off the old nuclear warheads and arm them on ships to add extra kick. But also there something else the Reapers slow advance is thanks to the fact they need to collect there forces as some still coming in I also think a plan B should be ready say detonate a mass relay as they come out try to take out as many of them as we can to thin there ranks.

But why Turians hold the line and Alliance plugs any gaps the Asari will play hit and run like poof in and out on the Reaper flanks why Salarians get anything that slip through.

There should also be nukes used on Reaper landing sites as most the cities deserted so when they land nuke them as nukes more powerful on planet every reaper killed one less to fight.

It is unfortunate that fanfiction will most likely never be continued. I was a little disappointed with the plot of the 3 game, so a new look at things always makes me happy. The plot is logical and well built, the characters remained with their personalities. Author also did not miss the technical details. It is always nice to read something not about feelings and relationships, but what Mass Effect really is about. It remains only to think out what this story would have ended ... Thanks anyway.
PS sorry my English is just pathetic

A brilliant adaption where not only do we get to see Garus at work, but what the universe would have been like if Shepard was allowed to do her job. Do hope you return to it!

I know I'm just commenting on a 3-year old un-updated story... but I really enjoyed this. It's a new take on what Mass Effect 3 could be like, and the world-building isn't something to scoff at. It's a story full of what-ifs and could-have-beens, and the past 13 chapters have been nothing short of immersive. Really wish this was continued. Oh well.

I just never get tired of this chapter, bet I've read it a dozen times.

Curious how they will manage this feat. Quite like your take on Garrus and Shepard. Thank you for sharing this.

Natsuki chapter 13 . 1/11/2014
I just reread this, and I greatly enjoyed it: it gave Garrus his chance to develop outside of Shepard's shadow, so to speak, and put him in an equal position where he could do more than follow orders. No more "Forgive the insubordination," now!

I'm curious about how Shepard can prove to Ashley that she trusts her (oh, the pronouns), and what Javik will do; given the earlier start, this is a fascinating lens to look through!

The fact that this has not been updated in so long PISSES. ME. OFF.

This work is nothing short of amazing. I have a game of ME3 paused shortly before the final confrontation, and reading your version of events reinforces my decision to stop there and stick to your version instead.

In the game, I find the actions of the Council and various governments simply too childishly idiotic to accept. I accept that there need to be obstacles for the player to overcome, but there's only so much bending that my suspension of belief can take before snapping. The galaxy would not be as politically stable as it evidently is in ME1/2, if the leaders were a bunch of drooling morons they are pictured to be; and with the amount of evidence that Shepard must have gathered over the course of ME2, your version of events is not only more satisfactory, but _oh so much_ more sensible.

Please accept my most sincere congratulations. You have made a better - more realistic and more fulfilling - story than Bioware, while incorporating as many events from the original as possible. And even if the story remains unfinished, it gives me canvas to expand in my own head.

I really cannot find adequate words to express how much I appreciate your work. I only wish you'd been there when ME3 script was written.

Oh, and I would also like to express my great satisfaction at your excellent portrayal of FemShep/Garrus relationship, with emphasis on Garrus' development from subordinate to equal.

In short: You rock.

This is a very interesting fic, based on a premise I've always wondered about - if the Galaxy started crash prep program post ME2 rather than sitting around.

Very interesting seeing the way this is moving forward now. It still doesn't really *feel* like the Galaxy has moved onto the full war footing and mobilisation they REALLY need to be on right now, but they are clearly moving much closer to it than they were before.

Technically, the writing is excellent and polished. The characters are very well realized from the game into the text (too much so in Koris, I always wanted to punch that guy and was gleefully happy when I finally did in ME3 even on an almost full Blue side playthrough and suddenly I want to punch my screen again...) and there is a refreshing lack of Udina being portrayed as a ranting useless idiot.

Keep up the awesome!

I told you I'd read it. Can't wait for the next chapter!

Oh god, please don't tell me you're not gonna update this anymore... I will die. I LOVE this story! The new take on ME3's war with the Reapers is fascinating and exciting! (Whereas I half expected something droll, cliche, overdone). You've managed to drastically alter the storyline, and yet you've kept it fresh and adrenaline-boosting!

I love your characterization, it's spot-on. I would think you're one of the Bioware writers (are you? If so, marry me. It's not a request ;] ) the dialogue is excellent, captivating... you keep the story moving without flying through pell-mell. And you've got me dying to see what happens next!

I would be SOOO delighted to see an update on this story, you have no idea... did I mention I love you? ;) even if you don't, just keep writing ME fanfics, you're amazing. (I'll accept Dragon Age fics, too ;] )
skwishface chapter 13 . 7/1/2013
This is excellent. You have a deft grasp of the way the various characters interact, including known canon from the games and inserting some very natural, sensible extrapolations of each character's evolutions over the two years that Shepard was KIA.

Also, I'm really enjoying this re-telling of the Reaper invasion minus the Crucible. It's enough like the original story to be familiar, but new enough to be fascinating. Looking forward to seeing more!
