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! Recommend having tissues around. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5JvbD…

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 could've been 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.

With the music and the fact that I only recently completed me3 for the first time, I DID cry. This is beautiful, I thought just seeing some of your old crew as you died was hard, this... I would have preferred this to what we got. It's fantastic.

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

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
Thanks so much^^

...Okay, yeah, I teared up...I hope you made a continuing of this *rubs eyes quickly*

Ffff well no I haven't... I was sort of waiting for Bioware to tell us what happens... What REALLY happens

Well, with the extended endings you can sort of guess. But they are considering making a ME4. Only it wont have Shepard in the lead, Shepards story is over so they'll be making a new protagonist for you to play because in a war that big...its bound to have more then one hero. I'm hoping it will be like Dragon age Origins and you will be able to pick if you want to be a drell, asari or turian, perhaps even Krogan

Yeah I know all that. But I still can't bring myself to trust the extended endings...

Heeeh, true. Beside, there is a lot of indoctrination theories on the green one.

AH! Such a good comic!
Garrus comforting her at the end there is just fantastic! All of the tears!

Thank you so much. Mass Effect is guilty of so many feels...

OMG I have no words. Many, many tears....the scene with Garrus comforting her.......gah....many, many tears......Soooo emotional.

Oh and if you wanted to make a reunion pic.....I would be pretty darn happy.

Heh I might, someday. Still kinda unconciously waiting for a big reveal on the REAL outcome of the ending. This stuff just... it doesn't feel real...

Oh God...now I'm legitimately tearing up.
This ending. This goddamn ending. It mightn't be a the best ending...but it gets me. Every single time.

Oh hell yeah. I agree with everything you said here. (especially the part about Liara. I mean, come on! My Shepard would have liked to have seen Kaidan at the end.)

Well at least they fixed it in the EC.

That's true. Still shatters me though, no matter what ending I pick.

This is the reason us Mass Effectfans should band together. We can all sob an eat some chocolate.
