This is amazing. Simple and effective, well done. Too bad BioWare won't use it <_<

Well done OP. This is more along the lines of how it should have gone. I'm still thoroughly depressed over the actual ending we got. All those years waiting to know how the best gaming series ends..and then it's pathetic..pah

"Citadel and the Reapers leave"? No way. Reapers need to be destroyed.

I'd much rather prefer we nuked the starchild back into the abyss from which he came, but...
If we absolutely HAVE to have the creepy starchild remain, this is a beautifully written ending to that scene.

Can't we just kill off the starchild and start from scratch?
Sheppard was knocked unconscious, dreamt up that scene with the child, and then wakes up to fight Harbringer! And then saves the day!
*Cue scene on beach with Garrus* Well, we did it. It'll be a lot of work still, but we did it. Ahhh.

While I do enjoy this ending, I would want something similar where he escapes the Citadel but the reapers are still destroyed because I would always feel like the threat would always be there and the reapers could strike again if they simply flew away.

He wont loose her a second time. Have faith. Bioware has a plan.

Works for me.
Heck, that's the kind of speech I would have expected out of Shepard as it fits his/her character.

Uh, I thought this thread had died a silent death on page 100 of this forum. Imagine my surprise seeing it back up again!

I agree with saying "no." But that's about it. The scenario we're placed in at that point is already too unbelievable. If that scene is not revealed to be a dream I think it should be scrapped, because everything about it is surreal. At the very LEAST put a helmet on Shepard.

NO!
In a good manner. I totally miss the chance of saying that NO in the Original Post.
Starchild sucks.

I like it. Even if everyone dies, it's no worse than what would happen during one of the canon endings, and there's a chance that someone will find one of Liara's beacons and maybe take a more convential approach to destroying the Reapers, sparing the Mass Relays.
EDIT: Edited for derp.

I loved your ending idea and used it to fuel my own! I wanted it to be a little more extensive but still build upon what you wrote, here is my suggestion;
Here goes;
Halfway through the walkway, after speaking with the Catalyst Shepard stops.
"No."
A raised eyebrow in the only indication that the Catalyst took notice.
"No?"
"You're giving me a choice. My answer is 'no'."
Shepard turns around, to face the Catalyst, his face grim with determination.
"You're giving me a choice, you say. But it's a false choice. All of your
options are based on the same notion: Namely, that synthetics and
organics cannot exist as equals. And I don't believe that. I refuse to
accept that as a truth. Maybe one is born from flesh, and the other
comes from silocon. But where it counts, organics and synthetics are the
same: we are selfaware. We want to be free."
"Free from tyranny. Free to find our own path. And, yes, maybe we will make mistakes. Maybe
we will disagree, and maybe we will wage war against eachother. Organic
against organic, synthetic against synthetic, and organic against
synthetic. But we will grow. We will learn. And, maybe, just maybe, we
will find a better solution. But we can't, not when you take that choice
away from us."
Optonal: "I see EDI and Jeff together, not as master and servant, but as equals.
Optional: "I see the Quarians and the Geth, organic and synthetic, preparing to
create a new homeworld for the both of them, together.
Optional: I can see the Rachni, once feared throughout the galaxy, stand with us, as equals.
Optional: I can see it's possible.
"So, no. I won't make that choice. And neither should you. Instead, allow us
to find our own way. Let us go. Send the Reapers back to the space
between galaxies. Let us make our own mistakes. Let us be free. And
believe in us. Believe that we might find a better way. A better way
than this...."
The Catalyst scans Shepard's face.
"Do you truly belive that is possible?"
"Yes, "says Shepard, without hesitation. "I believe we're owed that chance."
A few moments pass, as the Catalyst keeps looking at Shepard. Then the
avatar of the Catalyst disappears. The ground begins to shake, as the
Citadel begins preperations to fire the Cruciable and depart. Looking for a way off, Shepard
moves as fast as his aching body carries him, to the edge of the
platform... when, suddenly, a shuttle appears, with open doors, with the
two comrades he left on the way to the Conduit, their arms stretched
towards him. Shepard stars limping as fast as he can towards them.
Then it switches to eart where you see your gathered war assets fighting
in space and on the ground side by side with all your squadmembers,
both present and past. They fight a losing battle on earth, each race
covering eachother, helping eachother, tending to the wounded, taking
heavy losses, being pushed back.
Then it switches back to Shepard, making his way to the shuttle,
he falls over, unable to go any further, his 2 crewmembers rush to his aid,
the shuttle takes fire by reaper fighters. Then the screen goes black,
slowly fading into motion again showing the forces on earth, fighting
again in slow mo, dying, while the piano theme of ME3 plays - then,
when all seems lost, the sky lights up, a great wall of energy washes
over earth and the reapers deactivates and fall over, and the forces
of the galaxy cheer in victory. The beam continues through the relays
across the galaxy but without destroying
them.
Then we see the citadel closing up an getting ready to
leave, but just before it's completely shut, the shuttle slips through,
we see one of your squadmates perform CPR on Shepard as the other one
fights to pilot the damaged shuttle shouting over communications trying
to reach Joker on the Normandy, after a few moments they are successfull
and get picked up. Your crewmembers make haste and carry Shepard to the
med-bay of the normandy where dr. chakwas tries to keep you alive.
The Normandy returns directly to London where your surviving squadmates
have made it back to the HQ, the old ones aswell, they all rush into the
ship standing around the bed watching the paramedics trying to keep
Shepard alive. The situation is critical and your LI rushes forward
pleading to Shepard to wake up, crying. He/She reach down, kiss him/her
(Tali takes off her mask and her face is revealed in-game), but then,
Shepards heart stops. It's silent. Some of your squadmates may step
forward and yell/say something to shepard (Garrus may remind him of all
they've been through, that they were suppsoed to meet at the bar when
all of this was over, Wrex might yell at him how he has always been
stronger than any krogan ever will be and that a krogan wouldn't go
without a fight.) Your LI squeezes your hand hard, a few seconds of
silence, then Shepard suddenly takes a breath and his heart starts
pumping again. Shepard opens his/her eyes slowly and reaches out for the
crew. They cheer, come up to him one or two at a time saying a few
words (i.e "I knew you wouldn't go like that" " You can't quit on us in
the hour of victory Commander/Skipper"). Garrus and your LI comes up
last and talks to you.
The camera zooms out from the Normandy,
showing the aftermath of the battle on earth. It continues to zoom out
then shifting to other places in the galaxy, giving quick glimpses of
the galaxy wide battle. It then fully zooms out showing the Milky Road
as a whole and as the ending credits starts to roll and as they do we
are shown events from around the galaxy as all species begin to rebuild,
for example, quarians and geth on rannoch, Wrex and Eve on Tuchanka
uniting the krogans, turians on palaven, asari on thessia, salarians on
Sur'kesh aided by Rachni in some places. After the credits have ended we
see Shepard standing in some city on earth staring at the stars on a
moonlit night, maybe having painful flashbacks and memories from ME1 2
& 3. Then your LI comes up to you and grabs your hand and pulls you out
and looks at you, making shepard feel a little better.
Then it ends.
To me that would have been a perfect full Paragon ending, and make the whole
catalyst thing seem reasonable, what do you think?

"Optional: Shepard lays in the arms of his loved one, unclear whether he is dead or alive, while his partner is talking to him, yelling to stay alive."
This is a spectacular idea. This is what I imagined what would happen at the end. Maybe Shepard would die, but that's where he'd finally let go.
So much more dramatic and chilling.
And actually bittersweet.
