SPOILERS: Everything up to and including Mass Effect 3's ending.
SUMMARY: After the tragic events of Mindoir and Akuze, Marco Shepard has grown so accustomed to the abyss that the idea of falling into it doesn’t scare him anymore. And when someone no longer fears death, being ‘willing to die for someone’ becomes hollow words… But this time, he may just have found someone to live for...
DISCLAIMERS: All the characters in the story belong to Bioware, and whoever else has the rights on Mass Effect. Some quotes will directly be borrowed from the games.
Anything about Marco Shepard that isn't already part of the default character, including his personality and elements of his back story, was created by Cygnonymous.
Oh! And so is that gorgeous cover picture that she drew for our story. That's totally Cygnonymous' artwork. One of the perks for collaborating with a writing partner that has all the talents. ; b
WARNING: Certain chapters may contain more mature situations such as thoughts related to depression and suicidal intent, descriptions of violence, and sex between two loving and consenting adults.

I would like to thank you for these beautiful series of chapters. I've always seen myself in Kaidan and it was so amazing to see that resonate through your words while reading.
Also, the amount of depth you guys have given Ashley is amazing...I feel more regret knowing that I left her on Virmire. This is what her character needed and I am happy to have seen this side of her giving me more closure about her.
There are probably a hundred more positive things I would like to say about what you have produced but I don't know where to start! I absolutely adore the dorkiness between Kaidan and MShep, it just made this whole narrative feel so real and fulfilling and made me squee like a little girl while reading.
I'm not sure if you guys are still working on this series since its been over a year (if you are I'm still going check every now and then and be hopeful, haha). But thank you, this is what I needed after playing through the trilogy. Off to read other fan-fictions to fill in the gaps in the time being!
