Author's Note:So, this is my first (official) fanfiction. Basically, this is what happened to people after the synthesis ending. Hope you enjoy, and please leave reviews with either ways to improve or ideas for chapters (or both).


Prologue

He was falling apart.

Each piece of him broke into shards, flickering in the emerald light,

before vanishing. He felt no pain, in the physical sense, but could only think of everybody he'd tried to save, fervently flailing in the dark.

Mordin. Legion. Thane. Ashley. Pressly.

The 5 that he failed to save. Those 5 had shared in laughter, and sadness, and helped him. Yet he could not save them from their fates, but he would save the others.

Kaidan. Javik. Vega. Cortez. Joker. EDI. Tali. Garrus. Liara...

By now he was barely corporeal, resting, feeling that his rest had finally come, after 3 years of fighting. He saw the crucible glow green, and he blacked out, but not before sparing a thought to everyone whom he had known, and finding peace in the thought, that perhaps, the legacy of James Shepard would not be wasted.
