for Razor's Edge: Requiem11/20/2016 c43 
2Gray Wonderer
So, the only reason that I am writing this in the morning when I finished the story last night is the fact that I spent three hours strait reading this until one in the morning (after a long day at work I might add) and my brain was mush. but with that said I can only say
Perfect.
I am truly touched by your writing. No fantasy world has ever touched me as deep as Mass Effect. The only one that can come close is Lord of the Rings, and even that did not have the feeling of relationship that this had. Mass Effect changed my life and has been a part of me ever since I found it. When I started the game I fell in love with Tail and so not long after I found myself looking for a Tail/Shepard story. All praise goes to TV tropes for helping me find this wonderful saga. You have perfectly captured the spirit of Mass Effect as well as the essence of every single charterer. your deviations from the game has only reinforced my belief that true stories can act as templates for us to take a great story and make it timeless. This is, without a doubt, the best fan made story I will ever read as well as the best story that I have read in years. I will be holding onto your story for years to come.
As for your words at the end, I must say that I have been doing my best to write my own ending to Shepard's and Tail's story. I have not gotten far but I was delighted to see that some ideas remain the same.( Shepard living on Rannoch, a quite life, Tail without her suit, etc) I am doing what I can to to make my dream a reality and maybe, just maybe your words will be what i need to keep going. I will be posting my work on this site and would be honored for input by this awesome community of fans.
In the end all I can say is
Thank You and Keelah se'lai

I've been following your stories for a while and just loved how you brought the story and characters alive just as good or even better than the games ever did. I believe you were spot on with the characters attitude and personality even as you split off from "cannon". When I first started reading fanfiction I was looking for fillers and expansions of the mass effect lore as well as my favorite pairing Tali and Shepard. This fit the bill perfectly. I am sad to see this saga come to an end because I will always want more of Tali and Shepard's life after the series but you ended it beautifully. I thank you for this amazing story and I hope to be able to read more of your work in the future.
P.S. I have to know is Miranda marrying Carmichael!? I must know! :) That would be pretty awesome and cute imaging Miranda's wedding.
P.P.S. Also if you ever want to write some short stories of where all the crew ended up and what they are doing I am pretty sure we all would be ok with it. :D

I'm really sad this fic has ended, but what a beautiful end it is. I only found this fic after Requiem had already started, but so glad I did. This is definitely one of the best Mass Effect works I have ever read. Not just Shepard and Tali as a couple, but so many other details that make the universe of Mass Effect richer. Thank you for all the work you put into this series (and especially for finishing it too), its been a wonderful ride, but all good things must come to an end. Good luck with whatever you work on in the future, this fic is proof you've got skill. I'm really going to miss this story, but so happy its completed too.

Brilliant, utterly brilliant. I would have liked to see a longer, more in depth epilogue, but aside from that, a great end to a spectacular novel. Like many of your other readers I imagine, I find myself quite saddened to see this end, Razor's Edge has been my favorite story since I read the first one. All the best in your future endeavors, written or otherwise. Thank you.

Thanks for the ride. Truely a tribute to what made this series great. If anything my love for the series is strengthened by your contributions.
So thanks again, and I hope you continue to write, as you truly have a skill that cannot be ignored.

Good so far, first complaint as such is it seems weird that EDIs in his armour but didn't comment on him being nearly murdered.

I read the final half of this on the Tube. That was a mistake. Nearly teared up.
This is beautiful, and beats the canon ending hands-down. In every single way. Honestly? Even without the Epilogue chapter it would have, but this was the cherry on top. Bravo.
Best of luck in all future endeavors.

I am starting with this story and not the others (I'm a heathen I know). Despite this, this first chapter went a long way with showing me your flavoring with these familiar characters. Looking forward to the rest.

Short and sweet, and thus ends the saga of Shepard. This story has ended, and new ones will be written. It's important to look back and remember the past, but never forget to look forward. Let it be known that whatever you next project may be, I will follow you.
To the future.

And so the curtain comes down on easily the best Mass Effect fan fiction series that I have ever read.
I remember playing Mass Effect 2 for the first time at the start of 2011, and I was immediately a Sheperd/Tali guy. Then I was lucky enough to find the original Razor's Edge, which had just been completed. Even just the slightest ways that you expanded the story of Mass Effect 2 was brilliant, and I was so happy when I discovered that you were going to do the same for Mass Effect 3.
I'm still trying to process the fact that this is now actually over. Having followed this series for nearly six years, what am I going to do now?
Going back to the final chapter, I was sad that Anderson still died although I was expecting it. Ash's sacrifice, while also sad, summed up her character perfectly. Solider to the end. I was also happy that there was no child at the end, just a great shouting match with Harbinger, which I enjoyed.
I think I've rambled on long enough, so I guess all that is left to say is; Thank You.
Now, off to find the next great story.
Thank you very much again.

Thank you, Tairis.
I originally came to FFdotNet looking for ME stories and continue to follow the lives of the characters we grew to know and love.
I truly appreciate the time, effort, and dedication you have had throughout this work. You, and those like you, are the reason I came here, and the reason I continue to haunt this site so many years later.
Bravo.

I'll have to admit after the last couple chapters, it looked as if you were just going to give us more a believable Bioware ending, leaving Shepard dead, Tali in anguish, and a big question mark about the surviving crew. Don't get me wrong, Harbinger being yelled down was awesome as opposed to the horrid "star child" dialogue, but other than that it appeared to be going down the same path. I'm happy to say I've been proven wrong, I'd have preferred a more rosy, happily ever after ending, but you made it make sense, and seem right. Life sucks for real, at least the games we play, and stories we read can give us a little break from reality is my point. So, the epilogue did come to the rescue, and I say job well done! May your next endeavors prosper, thank you for the time and effort you've put into this.
