Fire in the Stars
Foreword

Hello again, dear readers! I want to thank each of you for being a part of this third and final chapter in my Mass Effect retelling, and I'm so excited to be able to share it with you. I've been looking forward to writing Fire in the Stars for a long time now, as it's without a doubt how I would have designed the plot of Mass Effect 3. A few things are the same, but most are quite different, and I hope you all enjoy reading how it should have ended, according to me at least.

For any new readers who have stumbled upon this page, Fire in the Stars is part three of my series that begins with The Darkest Night; so start there or you'll likely be terribly confused! I'll be taking a few days to read back through TDN and FWAM in their entirety, and break down my massive plot outline into chapters, and then we'll get to work!

Thanks again for coming back for this third installment, here's hoping it's everything you've waited for. I know it will be for me.

~Tom
