'With the adrenaline still flowing in his veins from the fight with the collectors, Garrus remembered vividly his desire to beat the life out of Kaidan for his words right then and there. He also could easily recall the hurt that was so visible in Shepard's eyes on the Kodiak ride away from Horizon. She hadn't said anything to him about it, but he knew it had stung more than she would ever say.'

Oh Garrus... Sorry, Thane fanfic. I love this Sarah! And sorry I didn't review this one before. Your grammar is always spot on. And I can always tell that you put a lot of thought into the words that each character says. Especially with Thane, as he is a very challenging character to write. Much easier than Garrus, so masses of kudos for being so good at it, that I can literally hear Thane's gravelly voice saying the words. Brilliant!

Very good story I rather enjoyed it.

Or, and this part - "Unsurprisingly, Grunt and Zaeed got themselves kicked off the station on the first day there; they'd gotten in a fight with some locals after only an hour-long visit." - I laughed my ass hard, hilarious it was, totally Zaeed and Grunt; those buddies seems so fit together.

I completely forgot to review, though I did read your latest chapter. I like the turnaround with Kaidan. He's not a bad guy, just flawed. Can't compare to Thane, of course ;).

Wow this chapter was super intense! It was a lot of fun to read and was interesting to see how everyone reacted to Shepard getting hurt! Keep up the good work!

I really like the various confrontations with Kaidan. You got the intensity right without losing realism. Especially his discomfort on board the Normandy. I'm enjoying this alot!

I actually feel badly for Kaidan. He really does try, but he gets kind of wishy-washy about things. I hate for anyone have to got through seeing someone that they love with another though :(.

As for Shep, she's not indestructible (I like her that way too).

I definitely agree with you on Shepard's imperfection. Very well done. I liked that Kaidan never actually spoke a word to Shep-and that you drew attention to it. Lovely story.

I hope that the M rating is for explicit Balak bashing ;). Very nice. I like your Shep, she has butt kicking kind of attitude. The relationship with Thane seems very natural. Including Garrus is a huge bonus because he should be every Shep's best bro, at the very least.
