Edit: Holy shitkabobs on a dinner table! I can't believe the support and love I've been recieving for this comic! I wasn't expecting it and it's had me on a big fluffy cloud for a couple of days now! Thank you all so much! :hug:
And to top it all, ~nicholasfunstuff went ahead and made a video of it with the music and sound effects!! Go watch it here! [link]



HEY HEY! LISTEN TO THIS WHILE READING! Recommend having tissues around. [link]

I have spent too much time on this... :iconimdeadplz:

This was a result of a need to get the Mass Effect ending from my system. Funny thing is it took so long to make, I was pretty much over it half-way through XD Even funnier is I just cried a little right now :iconcryforeverplz:

One of the jillion things that bothered me about this ending was that the characters most dear to me didn't even seem to be on Lara Shepard's mind. As explosions were going off, images of Joker, Anderson and... Liara? seem to flash before her eyes. I was kind of outraged. I absolutely love Joker and Anderson, but... Liara? She's great and all, but... No chance of Garrus's face to pop in her mind instead? They ARE in a relationship after all! HE VENTURED INTO THE IDEA OF HAVING KIDS, FOR F**K'S SAKE!

It's funny that everything else about that ending would pretty much make sense if we have in mind the popular Indoctrination Theory (which I'm all on board with), but this... this, haha, really bothered me :P Somehow it's like Liara's friendship is forced down my throat a lot of times. No ofense to Liara fans, she's actually a great character, just not one I'm specially fond of. And I really just wanted to see Tali, and Garrus... and Mordin... and Legion and Wrex... one last time... *tear flood* So all this just added to the feeling that the ending was rushed and put together as quickly as possible.

Hence this.

A huge thank you to :icondrawanon: for her enthusiasm and beta reading!

For Tali's pattern I used something I found on the Bioware forums. If anyone knows who made it, I'll add the link.

Me: okay..I'm okay...I reached the end and I'm okay. (Reads: Don't forget orders, Shepard. Come back alive.) *SOB*
Great...this is fantastic. Apart from being let-me-cry-like-an-estrogen-powered-steam-engine, this is great :D

You are a genius. And with Garrus famously failed.

Woop, and there goes all my feels right out of the window in a sea of tears. Damn, I would pay diamonds for an ending like this.. But instead they give us an even crappier 'extended' ending and some DLC's in the middle of the game (which we also have to pay for..)

Nonetheless, loved the game despite it's ending. It's a shame you didn't get to see your loved one in the flashbacks. My Eunhye Femshep saw Anderson, Thane (lover) and Garrus (almost-lover but best friend) It's odd. o_o;

To wrap this up; loved it, cried to it, and followed you. Bravo!

Herp, yeah they tend to do that, feels...
Pfft I know right. I think everybody was so pissed because they held ME in such standards, and loved it so much. And this was done before the Extended Cut DLC. I got Garrus the second time :heart:
Thanks so much^^

I read this comic whenever I feel bad, when ever I think of that ending, whenever I need real "closure"

Thanks a million Suthnmeh

(oh and it don't hurt that you're a talented artist!0
