I don't know what else to say but "wow." This was truly a fantastic story. You manages to explore a unique and extremely complicated relationship during what would have started out as such a difficult time for them. You wrote it such a realistic way. I love how their relationship started in turmoil and war, but was able to grow and develop into something so deep that not only broke their visions of being enemies but managed to last decades apart. Seriously well done!

This whole story has been so amazing so far. I particularly love this chapter. The messages spanning years and the way they've ended are heartbreaking. Seriously, I've been loving this story and can't wait to finish reading it.

Great! Well done! You just have to correct the end formatting.

this is just like the most heartwarming adorable thing oh my gosh i want this to be fucking canon jesus christ its amazing and my favorite thing ever now every time i replay the games and see Sparatus I will think about him and hannah and oh my god its just so gosh darn amazing and youre amazing for writing this and I AM LITERALLY CRYING OVER HOW AMAZING THIS IS

Quite enjoyable! Well done.

Any chance of fixing the formatting?

This was unexpectedly one of the best fanfictions I've read. I don't think I'm ever going to play mass effect again without choosing the spacer background or saving the council.

The writing was awesome, and it was really fun seeing Shepard/Garrus's roles reversed (with Hannah being the oblivious one). I don't know how you did it, but you turned what would normally be a crack ship in to one of the best pairings in the game. I'm just sad it isn't cannon.

(Also the formatting in the epilogue is screwed up, just fyi).

This story was amazing to read! Sort of surprised it doesn't have double the reviews...its written well and interesting! Great work anyway

You may want to fix your format on the last chapter.

this is probably one of, if not absolutely, my all time fave fics.

PS the formatting on the last chapter is wonky

This is honestly one of the most amazing, best ME storis I have ever read!

Holy Cow! wonderful story...well written and engaging...brava!

Good God I read the whole story and I love every second and pages! Love Sparatus and Hannah Shepard aka Mama Shepard couples! OTP there! Love this side and story of Hannah cause there isn't that much about her in the game.

Though I never played the game but I read info and youtube and so forth!

But not many people liked Sparatus (but he isn't so bad) but in fan fics like this make them and I love him and how much he loves Hannah... Hannah being the secret mistress of turian councilor Sparatus.

Though a shame Hannah can't have children with Sparatus. I mean have a hybrid child and be a younger sibling of Jane... But I'm glad the 2 are married... And the last one jane is marring Garrus. Love it and pure win!

Hope to see more of Sparatus and Hannah fics!

Great job!

I just wanted to let you know that this is without a doubt one of my favorite stories on this site. I have probably read it about a dozen times. Never gets old. Great job. :)

Read this on the mass effect kink meme and just had to leave a review here. This is by far the best story I've read that doesn't focus on Shepard as a main character (though the parts featuring her are amazing). I love how you've painstakingly fleshed out and characterized both Sparatus and Hannah and chronicle heir relationship from the very beginning through the end of the events in ME3. I hope to see more from you in the future, but if not, you've definitely touched many of us here in the fandom.

A fan
