"Wake up, my love."

Tali woke up to see Shepard standing in the doorway.

"I made breakfast"

She got up, dressed in her robes, and walked towards Shepard. He caressed her cheek and kissed her.
Outside their cliffside house on Rannoch, Tali sat down with Shepard and ate.

Tali: "Hard to believe it's all over, isn't it?"

Shep:"It's hard to believe you could settle down and build such a nice house."

The both laughed for a little while
They sat in silence for a few minutes until Shepard spoke.

"I wanted to tell you something"

Tali tensed up

But no Reaper came, this was real. They had earned it.

"Something wrong?"

"No- Nothing. What did you want to say?"

A loud noise came from behind her. Tali jumped and turned around.
She looked through the glass door.

It was Garrus, Hackett, Liara, Joker, her Auntie Raan, James, Javik and an entire crowd of familiar faces behind them.
Everyone was here...

She turned back to Shepard.


"Happy Anniversary, Tali'Zorah vas Rannoch."


A/N: I completed this trilogy just a week ago, and it was the only video game that has ever made me cry at the ending.
After reading a few post-ME3 fanfics, I decided to write my first fanfic.
Thank you Bioware for providing me and the entire gaming community with such an amazing galaxy of characters
