Tomorrow Will Be Kinder
Fandom: Mass Effect
Pairing: Garrus Vakarian x femshep
Summary: Garrus catches Shepard in the act of singing a lullaby
Word Count: 1.3K
A/N: Hello, my lovelies! I'm not going to note much as this was written like an hour or so ago (so there may be some spelling errors). I do love all that of y'all that take the time to read my work, even if my angsty writing says otherwise >.< thank you to all that have followed me on this crazy journey! I hope you like the next installment of my Masterlist. Enjoy(:
SONG REC: “Tomorrow Will Be Kinder” by The Secret Sisters
~ ~ ~
Black clouds are behind me, I now can see ahead
Often I wonder why I try hoping for an end
Sorrow weighs my shoulders down
And trouble haunts my mind
But I know the present will not last
And tomorrow will be kinder
Garrus wasn't sure at first where the voice was coming from. He originally thought it was coming from behind him, the sweet, soft voice whispering its way through the ship and its crew. The beautiful melody swept itself around Garrus, a bitter meaning to its hopeful words.
It was mourning.
It had been a draining day for the Normandy crew. The Genophage had been cured, but in return, Mordin had sacrificed his life.
Most of the crew had hidden away in their rooms, Garrus included. He wanted to be with Shepard, give her his attention and love, but she asked for space.
Which he gave.
Tomorrow will be kinder
It's true I've seen it before
A brighter day is coming my way
Yes, tomorrow will be kinder
The hushed voice grew as the chorus arrived, twisting the fluttering butterflies that had already made a colony in his chest when the news of Mordin had dropped.
Somewhere, it hid within the Normandy, much like everyone else. He began to follow the voice, venturing out of the shadows and away from his distractions.
Lost in his thoughts, Garrus took a step back to reality when he knocked into something around him. It was the new kitchen counter that had been added to the SR-2 Normandy. He never understood why the counter was placed where it was, always directly in the way of the clumsy turian. Something Shepard always made fun of him for.
She would shake her head as she drank her tea, laughing at his antics and the curses that followed from his mouth each time.
"One day, Shepard," he would say. "I will destroy this counter. Mark my words."
She would laugh harder at that, as it was something he would say a lot. Still, she would reply, "I believe you, Vakarian," giving him a kiss on his cheek before returning to their conversation.
When he looked up from his once-again-run-in, he noticed a familiar face, but it was not Shepard's.
It was Wrex.
Garrus was surprised to still see him aboard the Normandy, as he was sure Wrex would've left the moment the Genophage was cured.
The turian smiled politely when he caught Wrex's eye. "Tough day?"
The krogan grimaced. "Something like that."
Garrus was usually better at carrying on conversations with his friends. Today, however, he felt the weight of their current circumstances and hushed up. No one was in the mood for talking.
"I'm sorry about Mordin."
Garrus looked up at his friend's words. "What?"
"I'm not one to repeat myself, Vakarian."
"I know that, but why are you apologizing to me?"
Wrex turned his head towards the turian. Garrus knew he wasn't a sentimental kind of krogan, but when he looked at his friend's eyes, he could see the hurt that roared through them.
"I was hoping by telling you, it would make it easier to tell Shepard."
Shepard. The one who was probably taking this the hardest. Garrus wasn't with her on this mission, but Liara was. She told him how she saw Shepard run after Mordin, like her life had depended on it.
How she looked to be begging Mordin to leave the building.
How the tears escaped her face when she was unsuccessful.
How she wiped them away when they got back to the Normandy.
How she put on a brave face for her team.
How they all knew she must've been obliterated on the inside, but was too concerned for everyone else to be concerned about herself.
How she was selfless, just like she was everyday of her existence.
Garrus looked away from his friend, not ready to see the old krogan break down before him. "Did it?"
The turian received no answer, but it was enough of an answer.
Of course it didn't. How could it? How could one possibly prepare such an apology to someone who cared so deeply about every single squad mate they ever had?
Shepard had already lost a great deal of her life before this moment. How could she possibly continue to lose more and not lose herself once again?
"If it helps," Garrus began, looking back at the krogan before him. "I think speaking to her will do more good than anything else."
Wrex nodded at Garrus' words, already beginning to leave when his friend stopped him, the voice coming back in verses of silk and velvet.
Today, I've cried a many tear
And pain is in my heart
Around me lies a somber scene
I don't know where to start
But I feel warmth on my skin
The stars have all aligned
The wind has blown but now I know
That tomorrow will be kinder
"Do you hear that?"
Wrex nodded.
"Who is it?"
The krogan leader slipped out a small smile, "It's Shepard."
Shocked by this discovery, Garrus learned quickly from Wrex that Shepard had locked herself away at the front of the Normandy with Joker and Edi. Lost in her own thoughts, she had started to sing a lullaby she had learned from her parents. Joker was so moved by the song that he had turned on the ship's overhead speakers, allowing everyone to listen to the Commander's words.
Garrus wasn't sure what was more shocking: that Shepard knew a lullaby or that she could sing so sweetly and still kick ass out in the field. Either way, she was the woman he fell in love with, and he would continue to love her and all her secrets.
As he approached the pilot's doors, he paused, taking a minute to collect himself as her voice sang sweetly to him and the rest of the crew.
Tomorrow will be kinder
I know I've seen it before
A brighter day is coming my way
Yes tomorrow will be kinder
The doors opened at his knock, revealing a passed out Joker, a tired but focused Edi and an exhausted, beautiful Commander, softly singing her lullaby.
She looked up at him as he walked over to her spot on the floor of the cockpit. She had been crying, her eyes red as the blood that coarsed through her veins. No words were spoken between the two as Garrus sat next to her, her body instantly fitting into the puzzle of his own.
The soft sniffles that escaped her sent his heart ablaze. He wanted to make every bad feeling leave her being and enter his. He wanted to take her pain away and carry the world for her. She was the strongest human he had ever known, and it absolutely destroyed him to see her in such a state.
Finally, as she rested her head upon his shoulder, she spoke. "I couldn't save him."
A new tear ripped through Garrus' heart at her words.
"There was nothing you could do," he tried to reason.
"There's always something to do."
He shook his head, gently moving her off of his shoulder. He placed a finger underneath her chin, lifting it up so he could properly look into her eyes. "Sometimes, there isn't. I know it's not something you want to hear, but not everything is your fault, Shepard. There are times when things are going to happen, and you can't control the outcome, but you can't blame yourself."
She nodded softly at his words before he continued, "you're not alone in this fight. You never were."
He gently let go of her chin, allowing her to place her head back on his shoulder. He hoped his words helped calm her mind, and a part of him believed they did as he watched her slowly succumb to the overbearing need for sleep.
Letting a small smile grace his face, Garrus placed a kiss on his girlfriend’s forehead before relaxing himself, the last of Shepard's lullaby ringing through his mind.
A brighter day is coming my way
Yes, tomorrow will be kinder.

Protocols - Kaidan
[Heavy smut, choking, facesitting, bdsm undertones, use of military titles in bed, sub Kaidan, dom Reader, power bottom reader, gentle end, AFAB!reader, femshep]
Kaidan helps his commander manager her anger in more healthy ways that involve you sitting on his face.
Tumblr media
There was only so much noise the walls of the Normandy ship could muffle.
It came to no one's surprise when their commander's voice grew louder and louder. A powerful yell after another as the heated argument between you and the ambassador of humanity went on in the comm room.
Your crew have witnessed you keep your cool even during the most panic-inducing situations, hold your tongue against the most scummy of people as you diplomatically sway them to your side.
They haven't seen you snap this way, not in so long, at least. The last time it happened, Captain Anderson was still in charge, and he swiftly resolved it. 
After all, there was only a single man in this galaxy that commander Shepard would ever bow to.
Yet, they'd be lying if they said they hadn't seen it coming, you despised people like the ambassador and he never understood the concept of taking a step without crushing someone's toes while looking them in the eyes.
The clash between you two was never a matter of if, but a matter of when.
Kaidan just never expected it to happen so soon after the defeat of Saren. He thought politicians were meant to be smart, so why would Udina keep holding this grudge even after Anderson was appointed to the council.
Was the only report you've given anyone when you came back from your most recent council meeting, Garrus and Liara toeing carefully behind you with their tails tucked behind their legs, walking on eggshells around this new side of humanity they witnessed today.
“That son of a bitch stabbed me in the back, lieutenant, no one crosses me and lives to tell the tale. No One.”
Storming your way to the helm of the ship next, your hand slammed down against the smooth surface of the deck as your presence demanded attention. “Patch me through to the human embassy, Joker.”
“Uh…commander, do you wanna go for a walk before that? Take up yoga, maybe? I've heard it does wonders for the-” Joker's failed attempt at humour was put to an end as he met your stern eyes.
“Do I have to repeat my command, pilot?” 
He didn't seem phased by your temper, more bored with having to play military officials for a while. “No, ma’am. Patching you through, ma'am.”
You disappeared into the comm room afterwards, and the screaming match followed shortly as the ambassador connected to the line. 
By that time, Kaiden had already gone back to his usual station below the navigation deck.
If traces of your wrath managed to trickle down to the lower decks, Kaiden could only imagine what the upper decks are going through right now, wondering if anyone will get any sleep tonight.
But you see, that's where the benefits of having a crew you're very acclimated with shine through. Captain Anderson was never known for his lack of temper either, just like captain like commander.
Although some of the newer recruits are probably lost on what to do, why is everyone treating what seems like an unusual anomaly as a slight change in the weather. Some are nervous, others indifferent, while some approving, most likely Ashley. if it was up to her, she would hold down the ambassador for you to lay the punches on, only if you'd only say the word.
Kaidan was fidgeting with the computer screen just behind the railings, leading to the sleep pods. opening and closing apps, checking the task manager just to stare at the cpu going up and down with every action he performed, you know what people do when they want to look like they're busy, when something is clearly distracting them.
Or a specific someone, in this case.
Old habits die hard, he thought he outgrow his juvenile's self affinity for certain military themed erotica sites that held less than ideal videos about just how…adventurous and…authoritarian military women tended to be.
He tried really hard, you never made it easy with your low voice ordering him to come close by, the various times you've lifted someone up by their throat with a single arm just to threaten their whole existence, the weapons attached to your back bringing attention to your god-like sculpted body under that skin tight shiny armour.
God, even the specific manufacturer of your armour had a branch where they made latex replicas for the use of the general public when it came to certain private hobbies.
He is thirty two, he thought he left those youthful lustful fantasies back in his twenties and yet they're creeping back from under his skin with each yell of your voice, each audible slam of your hands down on a hard surface, each time a curse word slipped past your diplomacy painted lips that usually held nothing but honeyed smooth promises of help, strumming the heroics lyre like it was your second nature.
Why did your voice have to sound so hot throwing insults at people who outrank you? 
Oh how much he'd kill just to be a fly on that wall, witness your wrath first hand in all of its glory, hope he may never end up on the receiving end whilst wishing you'd bear your fangs over more people to keep them in line.
He's too lost in the fantasy of you standing over him, boot against his chest as you push him onto the ground. Eyes filled with fury, ordering him to strip.
Would it be corny to imagine a whip in your other hand? Well, it's his imagination. He deserves to get a little self-indulgent, no matter how corny it might be. 
Your sweat makes your hair stick to your forehead as you crack the whip just next to his face, sending a shiver down his spine as a small cut forms on the side of his cheek. Kaidan wonders if you'd bend down to his level and lick the blood droplets away before crashing your mouth into his mouth, teeth, and all tugging at his lips.
Or maybe you'd press your thumb painfully against his cut until it burns, making him hiss in pain while resisting the urge to pull away from the hand cupping his cheek, arousal drowning out the pain as you coo at him for being such a good boy for his commander, a perfect soldier toy for you to use however you see fit.
This is tethering dangerous territory, the Normandy crew uniform isn't the most subtle when it came to hiding the slowly rising heat between his legs and Kaidan fears what would happen if someone happened to be walking by.
“Lieutenant.” 
it takes him some seconds to register that your voice came from the outside rather than the inside of his brain. Kaidan quickly straightens his posture and turns to face you, hands casually clasped in front of him.
“How can I help you, commander?”
“Cut the act, Alenko, I'm here for you, not for my lieutenant.”
Kaidan's body visibility relaxed as he took a step closer to you, a light chuckle leaving his mouth before he said “you really gave it to Udina up there, huh Shepard, I've never seen you this…active since a long time ago.”
“He got what he deserves. I just hope it was enough to scare him off my back.”
“Me too, Shepard. So, uh, did you need something else. A shoulder to lean on, maybe?.”
“You could say it's something like that.” Your voice dipped in volume, took a sweeter, more smooth tone, one that only Kaidan is ever so familiar with.
His eyes widen slightly, and memory after another of that night, the two of you shared flashes back so quickly he almost swears he could still feel the heat of your skin against his naked body.
Swallowing down, Kaiden resists the urge to bring up the protocol against fraternisation as he tells himself it's okay. The two of you have earned it. Not to mention that you look like you really need it, so maybe it's not so bad to break rules every now and then.
“What…uh, did you have in mind, Shepard?”
“Kaidan” the temptation in your voice made him hold his breath, “how strong is your neck?” The way you cupped his face so gently with the most lustful half lidded look in your eyes.
Okay, who is he fooling? He is the one who desperately needs this. At times, he feels like he needs it more than air, the deep longing echoing in his body, the unfulfilled needs that never get sated no matter how much he tries. It's like you made it impossible for him to find release in anything that doesn't involve him moaning your name with your legs wrapped around him.
-
If someone asked Kaidan how he wished to meet his end, then at the line of duty, protecting the vulnerable would've been his answer on any given normal day.
but currently, nothing could convince him not to throw his life away just for another second between your thighs, another minute of your full weight pressing down on his face and burying his mouth against your aching cunt.
you're grinding down against his nose and harshly riding his face, powerful thighs that walked and ran the terrains of various planets like it was nothing, that held down against the knock-back of every heavy gun you've used, that kept you stable and grounded no matter who your foes were.
Are currently hugging his head, pressing against the side of his face and drowning him. narrowing his vision just to focus on you and your wet dripping heat that he eagerly laps up with every thrust of your hips, tongue chasing to catch every bit of your wetness so it may go down his throat where it belongs.
he has never felt more in his appropriate place in his life, under a powerful woman, tugging his hair and making use of him. not just any woman to boost, but The Commander Shepard, the hero of the human race, the person single handedly responsible for reducing this grown man into a desperate soldier, eager to please his mistress.
Your tight grip against his hair strands only makes him feel more used, pathetic in an addicting way. you could snap his neck in half with your big thighs, and he'd still thank you for it as you dragged him by the hair to the medical wing nearby.
The sound of your moans fill the captain's room, telling him how good of a job he's doing eating you out. Mercilessly fucking back into his face without a care as you test the limits of how resilient your subordinate is. 
Strong hands gripping your thighs, no doubt leaving prints behind as they pull you further down into him as if he just can't get enough of your taste, can't swallow down enough of your wetness. Taking clear pride in the amount of pleasure he's providing by serving under you.
without doing anything, all of your needs are accounted for as one of his hands lets go of your thigh and two fingers rub your clit to match the pace you're grinding down with, releasing in the arch of your back whenever he presses hard against the bundle of nerves.
“Fuck, keep going. Don't you dare stop soldier.” breathlessly you give him the order as your hand pulls harshed against his hair, making his mind melt in a mix of pain and pleasure.
And something about referring to him with a lower title than his rank makes his hips buck in frustration, the room air indifferent against his naked body while his hard cock leaks in neglect.
Using military titles in bed was never his forte, but like everything else you do, you manage to be the exception to every rule known to mankind. 
Suddenly he can't but crave to prove himself to you, remind you that he is your lieutenant and not just another soldier, that he has more authority than most people on this ship just so your eyes may stay looking at him and never wander away. He will be as powerful as you need him to be, and as submissive as you order him to, he will get on his knees every day for you if that's what his commander wishes for.
Just keep him by your side, let him have more of you, take up more of your personal time, and press his lips against your neck. 
He can't wait for shore leave when this routine mission ends. The idea of waking up next to you on a soft bed for once sounds like heaven. He has a nice apartment he will happily take you back to and spoil you rotten, show you just how much of a romantic he can be.
It's just another routine mission.
The way your thighs start quivering and pressing against him harder makes him think you're close, they're almost choking the air out of him but he doesn't pay it any attention and focuses on your own pleasure instead.
Tongue going deeper inside you before sliding out and licking a trail leading to your clit then going inside again, repeating this cycle and making sure he doesn't cut any corners when it comes to eating you out.
With a loud yell of his name, your whole weight finally collapses down on him as you reach your climax. Cutting off his breath and making him swallow down all of your cum and lap it up.
When you eventually pull away and scoot back to sit on his chest instead, you notice the mess you've made of his face. Your wetness staining his mouth and jaw as he looks at you eagerly for how well of a job He had done.
And Kaidan seems to share your relief, noticing how more relaxed he managed to get your body to be, how there is a hint of a smile in the corners of your lips, how all the anger and frustration fizzled out.
A sudden moan is forced out of him when you lean back and grip his aching cock in your hand, giving it a good pump to squeeze out the precum. 
Kaidan bites his lip with desperation in his eyes, silently begging for you to go on. Moaning out a small thank you when you move back until your wet heat is directly above his hard cock.
The head rubbing against your folds, making him lose his mind and use all of his self-control to not just thrust up. He can't even imagine the idea of disobeying you, so he surrenders to your will as you continue to tease and edge his poor throbbing cock.
Thankfully, you seem to be in a good mood, for the next thing he knows is the feeling of your heat fully wrapping around him and taking him inside.
Kaidan clutches the white sheets underneath him, Back arching as your silky insides squeeze His cock for all he's worth. 
“Think you can handle me, Alenko? Or should I go slow?”
you haven't even started yet, and he feels like seconds away from bursting, with a shake of his head, he manages to speak out. “Slow, have mercy, Shepard.”
“You got it, lieutenant.” Your words held more gentleness to them, leaning forward and peppering kisses against the corner of his mouth as your hips moved up and down slowly.
Gently rocking against him and moving at his own pace, Kaiden melted into your kiss and wrapped his arms around your waist. chasing your mouth after you broke the kiss.
Focusing on his neck, you sucked and marked the tender flesh as he squirmed in pleasure underneath you. Keeping the slow pace and waiting for him to give you the signal to go faster.
By the time Kaidan was close, you made sure to hold him tight and against you and let him bury his face in your chest. Strong arms trembling as they hugged you for dear life while you fucked his cock in and out of you.
You felt his cum fill your insides, his release leaking out of you and down his cock as you stayed relentless and kept moving your hips until there was no more for him to give.
Cupping his face, You were met with his lovestruck eyes that stared at you in awe as if you were something phenomenal, as if he has never met a person like you before in his life.
and you let him catch his breath. Slipping his cock from Inside you as he laid back on the bed. 
You got up and headed to the private bathroom in your room, cleaning yourself and bringing a warm towel back to the bed to clean Kaidan with. Rubbing it against his skin gently and wiping off all the sweat, wetness and cum. It will do for now until he could regain his strength for a shower.
Putting your military casual wear back on, you leaned back against your desk as you watched him doze off on your bed. Naked skin glistening and a heat colouring his face.

🥢family dinner
The Normandy crew goes on a mini street food and pub crawl. You get to know about characters favorite meals and backgrounds (or at least my version of them)
🌌 fleet and fumbled
This is based off of tali's romance and friendship scene where you watch fleet and flotilla. As per usual I'm using femshep. Queer undertones, but general light hearted fluff as Tali gets sick on accident.
🛴 kick in the shins
Garrus's dance scene where he busts a move. Ending up with dinner and him being a service top as an apology to his broody girlfriend. Slightly angst due to sheps image issues seen in the scene.
This will be a general series I'm making for my silversun strip collection! Plus, it will have accompanying art! (If I'm not lazy ofc)

Sideways Update
Tumblr media
I resumed editing Part 4 last week and have made some good progress!  I finally got through the 40k fight sequence, believe it or not.  Phew. It’s on to editing the more fun (for me) scenes!
I’m through chapter 19 right now, but I’m hoping to gain more headway before posting again. 
Look for a new chapter in a couple of weeks.  It’s a paragon chapter, but after that, things are really going to take off.  It will be the runaway train that I promised.

If you think I'm over Ashley YOU ARE SO WRONG
I'm so smitten of the homoerotic potential she has with femshep. The captian of the Normandy going down to check on the gunnery chief after every mission. Garrus and Wrex watching these useless lesbians staring at each other with hearts in their eyes but neither of them makes a move. Wondering if all of humanity is this dense.
Somehow the commanding cunning femshep loses all her braincells when attempting to ask Ashley to hang out alone during off shore breaks, Ashley agreeing immediately as she discards whatever rifle she was checking and tells Shepard she is free right now to go.
Her sisters endlessly tease her over falling for her superior commander, Ashley suddenly shutting down her omni tool when you walk over, not realising you heard it.
Let's acknowledge the homoerotic nature of Ashley prepering and handling the guns that Shepard uses. She gets to take it out of your locker, feel every scratch, and press her grip where your hand would go, check the ammunition, and dissemble the rifle for cleaning.
How Ashley would stare in awe at how Shepard is a weapon by herself on the field, switching between guns and adapting seamlessly. Her strong arms were not affected by the recoil of the bullet, her powerful thighs keeping her steady as she easily spams the shotgun for maximum firepower.
Ashley teaching you how to dance in a club while half drunk after laughing her heart out at your moves. Ashley holding your waist, feeling your warmth and your hands drawing circles on her hips.
Shepard taking Ashley to a gun range and giving her tips on how to better her aiming, standing behind her with your hands covering Ashley's grip on the gun to steady her.

The ship was empty, which happens a lot when they dock in the citadel. Garrus was just excited he would have some time to himself without the battery being opened on accident or purpose. Though turian’s have an open-door policy on their ships, a curious human was the least of his worries. His biggest concern was Shepard. Things have gotten tense between them, especially as he recently found justice for his fallen comrades. She supported him in that endeavor, using her charm to lure him to the right spot. He smiled remembering her seeming more at ease once the deed was done. “If you’re happy I’m happy” he remembered her saying as they boarded the ship. He appreciated her more than she knew, maybe a little too much. They had stopped in omega for some unfinished business, after that they hung out talking about wartime traditions. He had slipped about turian military full contact sparring, and she smiled and said, “why don’t we spar, well…maybe not, let’s just go blow off steam instead.” And left. She left! How bold was she?
Another time after hacking terminals in ilium, she asked again if he’d like to go out to dinner, pre steam. He honestly thought she was joking, but he laughed and said yes. Now here he was, sitting on an uncomfortable cold chair in a chamber that smells like sulfur and gunpowder; Omni tool brought up to his face. He felt ashamed.
The room was dark and slightly warm, his quills bristled as he pressed on his pelvic plate, releasing it with a hiss. He put down a towel, but it didn’t negate the cool metal beneath it. Garrus brough up the browser on the arm band, switching to a private tab he felt that he didn’t know what to search for. Human porn? Interspecies porn? Big boobs? Mammals having sex? Cam sites? Sexual wellness? He decided on the best sites for human fetish and hit go, massaging his brow and nasal plate. There were only a few results, though humans, once domineering the early fetish content industry as a shiny new thing, it has been found that assaris will always do better. He clicked the recommendation, a top ten list, with porn hub being the first result. He wanted specific, from colloquial human terms it’s a human-on-human site. He searched turian/human porn and hit go again, majority of the results were voluptuous, and beautiful siren-like women bouncing on raunchy toys. He lucked out scrolling through the images tab finding a vid of a pale woman thrust into a full nelson on a turian with rather large calves.
They seemed to be a couple, creating educational videos for couples like them, how fortunate. He watched their disclaimer section, noting that if you haven’t taken proper precautions both parties could suffer fatalities. They noted experiences, stigmas, regrets and interests of each other, they sounded soft and genuine. The turian noted there’s a form of condom for the vent shaft itself that helps eliminate a lot of worries, but noted they definitely prefer the sensation of raw dogging. A human term. A thing that works for them is having an EpiPen nearby filled with excess genetic materials. A last dich effort if the suppressants, herbal teas, and vaccinations don’t work. With that note they thanked the viewer for watching and moved onto the video.

Offside (Critical Role)
5. do you respond to comments?
Always, but it sometimes takes me a while
6. what’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
don't you know (i dream of you): Perfect Machine is probably angstier but I haven't quite finished the last chapter, so of my finished fics, this one is it, given the character death and it all being about grief post Baldur's Gate 3.
7. what’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Honestly my fics with happy endings aren't finished yet and they're more...bittersweet with explorations of trauma than straight up happy lmaoo.
8. do you get hate on fics?
I've gotten some weird comments before but honestly not really a lot of hate. Juust a few that crack me up like the person who thought i hate men because Emilia saves Kaidan in Encroachment...which canonically happens.......
9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?
BG3 has made me write much more smut than I used to. Used to be an occasionally thing but more often now. All wlw pretty much.
10. do you write crossovers? what’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Not really, no.
11. have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of!
12. have you ever had a fic translated?
Yep. One of my DA fics got translated into russian
13. have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes, I co-write with a couple of buddies.
14. what’s your all-time favorite ship?
Hard question. Used to be Ash/femshep easily, but now probably a tie between Tav/Karlach and Ash/Shep
15. what’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
Hmm, I think I have intention and capability to ifnish the majority of my WIPs. The only onee that might fit ismy post war ME fic, mostly cause I'm not entirely sure what I really want to do with it outside of some ideas I want to explore.
16. what are your writing strengths?
Characters and combat
17. what are your writing weaknesses?
Description sometimes of like, surroundings and that stuff. I find character stuff more interesting so can sometimes be a bit too bare bones with that.
18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Nah. II do one off words sometimes but if a character is speaking in another lanmguage I'll usually write it in english with mention that they;re talking in another language.
19. first fandom you wrote for?
Eragon llmao. That was my mediocre book series I loved as a teenager what can I say.
20. favorite fic you’ve ever written?
I have a big soft spot for Encroachment. it was the first big fic I finished, it was born out of me wanting to see the ash/shep milscifii fic I wanted in the world. I've gotten some very loyal readers over the last six years I appreciate immensely.

No, I Just Have Something In My Eye
Tumblr media
A nice still from animations testing today. We Shokerites won’t get a Beam Run goodbye... but we have a little moment on the Normandy, just before. A while ago, one of you fine readers asked me for an option to have Shepard tell Joker she’s always loved him. Well, here it is. Originally I just had him say one line here like, oh when it’s all over, I’ll be here. Or something. But... No, I could do better, so I am. I’m pulling out all the stops for this one, really trying to flex how well I understand the ME3 facial animation system. I wanna make it sing. I am sincere and brave enough to admit that I kinda got a little choked up seeing this bit of the conversation play out live ingame. As you might know, I directly manipulate FemShep’s vocal synth with my own voice, now - so to get that line, I performed it, and then listened to my voice filtered through the synth’s... and then saw it happen in context and it was kinda... powerful for me, I guess. It’s... a weird feeling, because like... It’s the line she’d say, it’s very in character, it’s what I wrote, it’s in keeping with the kind of stuff she says to other LIs. But, this line is definitely more than just Shepard saying this, is all I’m gonna say. I mean to be fair, the entire mod is more than just Shepard saying this. This entire thing is a love letter to the characters and the community. I’m feeling some kinda way about all this because I have worked on this almost every day since September 2020 and it’s finally here.
Okay sappy cringe over

20 questions for fic writers
I was tagged by my other buttcheek @elialys. I'm tagging: @ladycallie @nico-demons @lizann5869 @tenroseforeverandever @thirdeyeblue No obligation to complete this of course, only if you want to! I'm terrible at tagging, so anyone can do this really 😅
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
Sixteen. Yes I am still a noob especially writing for a very old fandom.
2. What's your total A03 word count?
322,793 words
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Doctor Who (9)
Horizon Forbidden West (5)
Mass Effect (1)
The Last of Us (1)
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
The Space Between the Stars-- Aloy/Seyka, HFW
When the Chaos Calls Me Out--Thirteen/Rose --Doctor Who
Causal Nexus--Ten/Rose--Doctor Who
The Dream of Atlas--Tentoo/Rose-- Doctor Who
Quasar-- Femshep/Liara-- Mass Effect
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Almost always unless something happens in my life that takes me away from ao3 for awhile. I love connecting with readers, it's the best part of fandom and I have met some of my best friends this way.
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
There's two and it is up for debate.
The first is Quasar-- Mass Effect. It ends with Shepard taking that breath after the destroy ending
The other is Walking in the Airless Dark- TLOU, a 900 word oneshot about Bill and Frank's last moments, in Bill's POV, remembering their beautiful life together. I cried writing it. Whoops.😂
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
For Doctor Who, probably When the Chaos Calls Me Out. It was very angsty for most of it and the ending is tooth rotting fluff with Rose rejoining Thirteen in the TARDIS after a very satisfying cameo from someone...COUGH...while still able to connect with her family in Pete's World
For Horizon, since my enormous wip is far from being done, it would be Orpheus, a short fic with five relatively short chapters where Aloy stays for one more night, and she and Seyka spend it hunting down the dinosaur figurines so that they can play Dino Digits...although they lose interest in the dinosaurs progressively through the fic.😏
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Sometimes. I remind people I do this in my free time as a hobby so nothing is going to be perfect.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I do. I like to say the 'E' in my E rated stories stands for "Emotional Smut" 🤣 so my smut is very hot but also vanilla, heavily focused on feelings.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
Nope but I want to write a Horizon/Doctor Who one
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not really but I have seen a few instances of people using specific things I came up with, that apparently became their headcanon. I don't mind that.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Not that I know of
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No but I would like to maybe, if it was with someone whose style aligns with mine
14. What's your all-time favourite ship?
It has been Doctor/Rose for years.........buuuuuuut it's been bumped by Aloy/Seyka, but only slightly. I love my girls, they're so gorgeous together.
15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
The Dream of Atlas. It was my first fanfic, so my style was a bit all over the place and I didn't really know what I was doing.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Probably a combination of imagery and feelings? I think?
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
DIALOGUE. It takes forever!!
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I've already done it!
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Doctor Who
20. Favourite fic you've ever written?
My current WIP and obsession, "The Space Between the Stars" closely followed by "When the Chaos Calls Me Out." I am very proud of both of them and constantly surprise myself when reading it later like "Oh hey I wrote that! That's not bad..."
