They stay like that for what feels like hours; closing her eyes, Shepard can almost imagine that the sternal keel that presses against her is warm and rough-not cold, ash speckled metal. She presses her face to a patch of intact hide on the side of his neck, wishing she could smell his sharp, earthy scent instead of the dark mix of burned metal, old blood, and charred flesh

Thank you for this fill, anon. It's heartbreaking.
I sobbed like a baby through my first playthrough, especially all the way through the end, from Garrus' goodbye on until... awhile after I finished the game. I just yesterday finished my second playthough (which I did to fix a few small things) and... my second playthrough I just felt dead. Hollow. I felt like I wanted to cry for Mordin, for Legion, for the end, but I just couldn't.
This fill is making me cry. I needed to cry. Thank you.

Shepard was tired. It wasn’t the kind of tired that can be repaired by rest, but a bone-deep, soulsick kind of tired that slithered through her body like worms in old meat. The slab of concrete she was leaning up against seeped cold into her back as she watched a sinking sun arc slowly through the sky

Three years, seventy days and twenty-three minutes later the last reaper slips into the oily blackness of dark space. Their sudden absence in Shepard’s mind shocks her from a restless sleep like ice water against her spine and she quests after that last distant echo, getting no response. The flashing of the clock beside her cot reads 6:43, early enough that only the beginings of light are rising into the winter sky

I just wanted to thank everyone who has commented here, and especialy the OP for the lovely prompt. Like so many people ME3 absolutley broke me, I think I wandered around my flat like a zombie for days. (I also think I might have caused a mint-chip ice cream shortage at the grocers.)Writing this was cathartic, and yes, it made me cry. Again.
I've been visiting this site for a long while,but I've never posted until now. In fact...I've never written fanfiction (or really, any kind of fiction) before, the first morning I got up and realised (holy crap!) that there were comments, and people LIKED it was.... mindblowing.Amazing feeling, I cant thank you all enough for reading, for leaving me comments, and for crying with me.
And yeah, I would like to hope Shepard and Garrus met up in that bar; maybe Mordin was there to give them akward lectures on chafing, and even Legion, who couldnt drink~but could wow the crowd with his dancing. After all, I htink they've earned a little peace.

Thank you form the bottom of my heart for this wonderfully tragic story. I was crying throughout the whole thing as it tugged at my heartstrings. Thank you!

Never wrote fic before? I can't believe it with how good this was. As one of the anons who commented, like, five times that she cried, thank you a million times for this story.
