Description
EVEN MORE EDIT 2021 WHAT: Turns out the original video is gone and I don't know why, but someone managed to find it here! disk.yandex.ru/i/JzEzvsIPCnmX8…MORE EDIT: So this was done before the Extended Cut came out, so at least the issue with the flashbacks was resolved. Handsome Garrus is finally in my Shepard's thoughts *sob*
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!
And to top it all, nicholasfunstuff went ahead and made a video of it with the music and sound effects!! Go watch it here! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tJ1LY…
HEY HEY! LISTEN TO THIS WHILE READING! www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5JvbD… Recommend having tissues around.

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

I've been a fan of Mass Effect for years now and I found the end of ME3 to be a huge disappointment. Your take on it brought me to tears. Thank you.

I was brought here by Nicholasfunstuff's YouTube video of your comic. Really captures that most important element of the series: your team. And you're right about Liara appearing regardless, that's just lazy, much like most of the ending really.
Great comic and great idea.

Yes, I hate how in the end, the people you care about are hardly even taken into account.

I agree 100%, Liara was a forced character in the whole series.

Glad you agree xD
Though I did grow to respect her as Me2 and 3 progressed.

BioWare should much learn at you. Though I even am glad that an ending another.... I probably would cry the whole day and week treated nerves xD

Lovely comic. Kinda reminded me of the ending of Sailor Moon R/original combined. Gorgeous.

I've been told!!! Whyyy? XD
Thanks though!

Lol. #1, that way Garrus shows up and takes her hand to help point the gun is very similar to Darien(main dude) taking Sarena's(main chick)hand to help her point her magical wand at the end of Sailor Moon R.
#2, in the end of Sailor Moon original when Sarena is fighting the main baddy images of all her friends show up in a similar fashion to this. So that's why.
I love both this and SM~

Lol well it's not because I've unconsciously made a homage to it. I never watched Sailor Moon XD

This is absolutely the best piece of art on this whole site. I mean, I have never had a comic make me cry for like 5 minutes straight. Also, the art style is really, really, really good.

We must all schedule a time where all Mass Effect fans get together and with An End Once and For All playing. Give a big group hug and cry haha.

For me, the only part of the ending that I can genuinely say touched me :L Wish your version had happened, it's what I wanted to happen - all of my crew and friends at my side, my LI standing by me as we finally beat the reapers :'D Woulda been amazing! :3 No probs, you did great
