    Summary: "A species without Paragons is one with a sorrowful and terrible history."


    There are only 4 short chapters so far, but I like what has been done. So many stories say 'AU' and they end up being rehashes of the same story progression with a new coat of paint. This doesn't come off that way. AUs are supposed to push the boundaries of what-if and this does. College Fool has done some interesting things with other Mass Effect ideas. And I like the quote.

    3.5/5 for now.


    Semi-Complete, because the author promised one final update which he never posted.

    Really ?

    There's only around 3000 words and nearly half of those would be author notes. And while I normally like world building there just isn't enough to really like.

    And you should only recommend stories you think are 4/5 or better.

    This story is finished. So bumping.

    I think this story deserves more than 4/5 for simply because it gave us a better ending than ME3 canon one.

    This isn't a story and it doesn't pretends to be. Rather it is a timeline mixed with codex and in game decisions. It crates a very good framework for ME. Somewhat more logical than canon IMHO.
