I read this before back when it first got published and I can't fucking believe I didn't review it then, considering how much I harp on my stories for people to review 'em. Hypocrite, I am.

ANYHOW. I must say, this is a REALLY good fic. Blew my damn socks off. I've never been much a fan of girl-on-girl pairings [I am so fucking weird] but holy shit you somehow managed to make me like this one. I think this story will go into my Recommended Reads section.

I've recently started playing Mass Effect and after seven hours restarted with the female character. It might just be me, but I've found that the female Shepard just seems more believable and much more human compared to the monotone male version. I wouldn't ask another author to recreate their story, I'd just rather see multiple pairing with female Shepard. I never really connected with the human characters, but the second chapter was incredible. I'd like to see you continue, but there is something about Ashley Williams that just irritated me. Whatever.

Your abilities remain intact and I would hope that you'll continue.

Oh, GOD.

I love it. I hate Alenko, though. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE continue, and bring Shepard in. You really made my day with this.

KEEP GOING AND YOU'LL HAVE MY EVERLASTING LOVE.

PS : Would love a Shepard / Ashley / Liara.

Yeah it's me again. I was thinking, maybe Shepard'll come back and confess that he didn't want to bring Ash along because he's always liked her and he didn't want that to get in the way of his orders and stuff?

It's horribly lame, I know, but I'm a sap and if anyone can pull it off it's probably you.

Cheers.

Most excellent, rather ... creative use of the Asari tentacles too.

Anyway, I agree with the other dude on the Shepard thing, though it IS cheesy, so I wouldn't neccessarily go in that direction.

I was a bit miffed when Bioware didnt allow the threesome option, though, so that might me a good direction to expand in, especially since the other characters would be a tad... disturbing. (Wrex? Garrus?) Eh...

Would LOVE to see more.

Clarification : When I said it sounded cheesy and you probably shouldn't go down that particular route, I mean the specific one about Shepard confessing his feelings, not the whole idea of bringing Shepard in. I fancy that.

Granted, the cheesy route can be good ( I loved The Notebook ).

Shepard FTW!
