For the fanfic word game: How about sun and grab?

Sun:

This is not in any of my WIPs currently, but I'm sure in the future, it will be.

Grab:

This is from an AU about my Shepard as a mercenary, working with both Wrex and Zaeed to bring down a criminal organization that has tried to kill them all during different times. At the same time, they are being tracked by Thane Krios, who is tasked with assassinating Shepard. It's going to be an enemies to lovers story eventually, but I'm still working out details.

“There’s plenty of that to go around.” She assured him, putting her feet back on the ground and grabbing her beer from the table. “Two things you’ll never run out of on Omega: money and killin’.”

I was tagged by @ljandersen and @vela-ad-astra Thank you so much for the tag!!

This is from a sequel to Echoes of Old Embers I've been working on.

“Something tells me, a wedding dress isn’t going to be your taste for the real thing, but I couldn’t let this opportunity go to waste.”

I can't tag that many people, lol. I'll admit, I haven't been super present on Tumblr lately to really know who has been writing much these days, so I tag anyone who sees this and is writing something they want to share (feel free to tag me as having tagged you! Genuinely!)

[tealenko]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love❤

Whoooo I'm back!!!

First of all thanks for the ask, I love to do this things.

I've re-read all my stuff recently, and I have to say my opinion about which of my fics I prefer has changed like A LOT, so here go my new 5 favourites:

Listen Before I Go (Unfinished) - My Shepard's backstory in the Alliance told by my Ryder to Kaidan in between ME1 and ME2, when they both think she's dead. - I think that the fact that I know this won't be popular no matter what, gives me the freedom to do whatever I want and experiment, and I simply love the result.

The Three Letters (Unfinished) - My Tomb Raider fic. It's just awesome (maybe I'm biased lol), but it's a clear example of: it doesn't exist and no one asked for it, but I want it with all my heart so I'm gonna write myself. - The fandom is so small that is a delight writing in it, and you can see that I'm having a great time when you read it.

Don't Leave me Behind (finished) - ME3 ending + Shepard's rescue. - Chapters 3 and 4 are so freaking good that I still can't believe it was me who wrote them lol

Somebody that I Used to Know (f) / Never Have I Ever (f) / Didn't Have the Heart (u) - I know, I know... I'm cheating a little bit by naming three at the same time, but they are continuations of each other, so it's like one big fic and I couldn't decide which one I like better - StIUtK is my 1st ME fic, and I'm in love the story, NHIE was hilarious to write, I still cry when I read it, and DHtH it's a mix of the two, so how can I choose between them?

Do your Worst (finished) - My Ryder after the ending of MEA going back to Kadara to see Reyes... Smut happens - My first fic ever (posted online, that is). - This will always be in this type of lists, for it holds a special place in my heart. Also, my Ryder is amazing and super sexy and funny, and her banter with Reyes gives me life <3

Imma tag people here because my asks have been working a bit funny lately, so: @ficbrish @acciokaidanalenko @halesshepardn7 @ljandersen @laelior and whoever else who wants to do this (no pressure, as always)

9 people I’d like to get to know better

Hey thanks @kesla for the tag!! And so sorry for my glacial response time! 😅

Anywho, first a little about me:

Last Song: Hot Shit by Tom Cardy

Currently Watching: Nothing atm. I don't consistently watch TV, but most recent was What We Do in the Shadows.

Currently Reading: Nona the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir (almost done, so I can join the rest of the fandom and pine for Alecto, yay!)

Current Obsession: I feel like Pinky and the Brain answering this one..."What are we going to do tonight, eezo?" "The same thing we do every night. Draft a neverending Mass Effect longfic."

Here's a snippet I've been working on for Outlaws. This chapter is so close to being done. I can taste it.

---

Ah, finally. Donna’s tea has cooled enough to drink. She shouldn’t have caffeine this late at night, but the chai was calling to her. And these leads on Poison Ivy’s double aren’t going to follow themselves, are they? Just a little pick me up at the ARGUS computer, and Donna will be all set to go. Just as she’s going to take her first coveted sip, Donna hears a knock at the door jamb behind her. The tea comes this close to spilling onto her lap, and it’s only her reflexes and training that land the mug right side up on the desk. 

“Yeah?” Donna calls out after she stops reeling. 

“Can I talk to you about Rose?” Artemis chews her lip. How very un-Artemis-like.

WIP Word Search

Thank you @ljandersen!  For once I have some stuff to use haha

Touch: He touched her cheek.  “It’s not the same when someone asks you to do it.  You’re not breaking your vow.”

Break: Her mouth opened, to ask what was in that letter?  But then it closed, without any conscious thought.  Heartbreak was what was in that letter.  What flavor, she knew then she’d never ask.  It was somehow just too personal to even want to know.

Hand: “He always forgets to feed the apprentices.”  Arik winked at her.  Dree decided, then and there, that while a man this nice quite obviously deserved better than a walking trash fire like Rin, if Rin was what he wanted she was going to use every last underhanded trick she knew to make that happen.

Tagging: Literally anyone, please tag me so I can read!  But for the sake of the game: @pushingsian, @citadelsushi, @shadoedseptmbr, @pip-n-flinx

Thank you for the tag @ljandersen! It’s been a few months since I had the time to do anything like this! This was really fun to do.

Rules: Pick any ten of your fics, scroll to the midpoint, pick a line (or three) and share it. Then tag ten people. 

{I only selected 5 stories because my excepts are long.}

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

1. Messages (mass effect, Kaidan Alenko/Kori Reese)

Gloved hands appeared before her, pulling her coat closed more, adjusting her scarf. She glanced up to see whiskey colored eyes looking at her. “I’ve got an extra sweater in the car if you need it.”

She couldn’t tell if he was being serious or not. “Kaidan, I was just griping…”

“Yes. I know. I remember. You don’t like cold. You don’t like snow. You don’t like ice. You don’t like—”

“Okay, Alenko. I get it,” she retorted backing away, throwing her hands up. “You remember what I hate.”

Kaidan cocked his head. With a thoughtful expression, he said quietly, “I remember what you like too. You like to go hiking. We did it on shore leave before…”

2. Broken Road (mass effect, Kaidan Alenko/Kori Reese)

“Kaidan, what’s wrong—"

She didn’t finish the sentence. Alenko pinned her to the wall of the comm room and kissed her hard.  She yelped in surprise but didn’t try to fight it. Almost as quickly he pulled away with a shy smile. “Permission to speak freely?”

“Always, Major,” she replied wondering why he kept treating her as a superior officer. She was the Normandy’s first officer true, but he was a Major and a Specter.

“Thank you,” he said running a hand through her hair. “I want this to succeed as much as you do, but please don’t do anything to—"

“I’m not going anywhere, Kaidan. I promised. Remember? That means keeping my stupid stunts to a minimum,” she said with a reassuring smile. So that was where this was coming from…

“Sweetheart, I don’t know what I’d do without you…”

“Let’s not find out,” she replied as she kissed him.

3. Rebecca Shepard (mass effect, Kaidan Alenko/Rebecca Shepard)

“I want to be with you. We’ve wasted so much time and now there may not be that much left…”

“Hey, don’t talk that way. We’re together. That’s what matters right now…You and me,” the sentinel soothed as he pulled her to her feet with him. She clung to him as he began to maneuver them towards her bed.

Kaidan saw her smile as he echoed the words from over 3 years ago, spoken during the night before Ilos. “You aren’t going to leave a way out are you?”

“Hell no! Why would I want out of this? I have what I wanted back. There isn’t anything else I need,” he answered as he began kissing her neck again. “I love you.”

Shepard looked up at him with adoration. “I love you too, Kaidan.”

4. Pieces (dragon age 2, Cora Hawke/Fenris)

She smiled as he glanced back her way. Mirroring her expression, he asked, “Are you still reading that?”

Hawke giggled. “Yes. It’s the first love letter I have gotten that meant anything.”

The Tevinter arched an eyebrow. “That was not what I would call a love letter.”

“Perhaps not. But the spirit of it is the same,” she noted as she moved to sit on her knees.

Fenris hesitated as she walked back to the tent. “Should—Should I write you more? As letters?”

Cora glanced up at him. His expression one of uncertainty. His reading had improved greatly since he had moved in with her. He had only begun writing his own thoughts down a couple of months ago. Would it be too much to ask? Softly, she ventured, “Only if you are comfortable with it. I—I truly appreciate this…It wouldn’t have to be a letter. This note is fine…”

“You appreciate it?” he asked as he knelt down in front of her.

She nodded as he cupped her cheek. “Is it why you agreed to come here?”

Hawke nodded again as he leaned towards her. “Then I will have to continue to write you these little notes, amatus.”

5. Anchor (dragon age: inquisition, Cullen Rutherford/Anyssa McBride)

The historian trialed as she looked down at their hands. He glanced at the work left to do on his desk and then to the bookshelf. Maybe spending the evening with Anyssa was better than--

“Varric gifted me a copy of all of his books…”

“Are you trying to distract me?”

He let a grin tug at his lips. “Perhaps. Or maybe both of us?”

She arched an eyebrow. “Cullen. You hate those books.”

“Maybe they would be more entertaining with the curious questions you usually ask,” he suggested as he moved away from her to the shelf. Releasing her hand, he heard her follow him.

He glossed over The Tale of the Champion and instead selected Hard in Hightown. Turning to show her the book, he was greeted with a face of disdain. He found himself chuckling. “You haven’t even read it yet.”

“I really like Varric. I do, but the things I’ve heard of that book…”

“You’ll never know until you try,” he smirked, shaking the book at her. He ignored her noise of disgust that was unsettling similar to Cassandra’s and gestured to the chairs near his desk. “My lady?”

She made another face but sat down. Perhaps a distraction was what they both needed after all…

Brown Paper Packages Tied up With String (fShenko)

Shepard was riding the elevator down to the cargo hold of the Normandy. She'd just made her way back from the Citadel for a quick supply run, or at least, that's what it was meant to be. A quick supply run was never just a quick supply run anymore.

2. Remember Me (ME:A)

Sara landed with a thud on the metallic floor, unsettling a thick layer of dust. Behind her, Peebee and Liam followed suit. A slight haze formed thanks to the particles being displaced. Sara waved her hand through the air to help it dissipate and get a clear view of her surroundings.

3. The Calm Between the Storms (Hannah Shepard)

Captain Hannah Shepard was looking out at the view from the cockpit of the Orizaba. It was something of a routine of hers when she hit a lull in her duties. She used to look out at the stars with such fondness. They were once filled with so much adventure and potential, but her perception of them had changed over the years.

4. Not Tomorrow, But Today (fShenko)

I love you.

They say it to each other all the time.

5. A Cursed Blessing (Kaidan Alenko)

It covers the apples he picks up from the market. It glistens off of the faces of smiling civilians still thriving on the high of survival after the war. He even sees it in the mirror when he wakes. He sees it on his fingers as he rubs his eyes, heavy from nights without sleep. It's inescapable, this new green sheen to everything.

6. Forever, I Choose You (Assasin's Creed Odyssey)

Kassandra stepped up to the ledge of the cliff next to Darius. Makedonia's coast wasn't too far off in the distance. The sea was glistening as the sun was getting ready to set, and there were rolling hills and forests as far as the eye could see. It was a view she'd seen many times now.

7. Downhill (fShenko)

The winter holidays were finally here. Shepard and Kaidan had both been working hard and had earned some good time off.

8. What's Mine is Yours (fShenko)

Shepard walked through the front door of her and Kaidan's apartment. It had been a long day at work. Hackett had needed her to stay late to rush through an urgent project imperative for the next stages of the rebuilding efforts. Kaidan would have been home for hours already.

9. Finding Peace (fShenko)

Shepard awoke to her room which was still in a dark haze. There was a noticeable lack of warmth by her side, prompting her to rub her eyes and look over to Kaidan's side of the bed. He was already awake, standing by the window, pulling the curtains back ever so slightly in a way that she couldn't see what he was looking at.

10. Echoes of Old Embers (fShenko)

“I’m here to see Admiral Hackett,” Shepard said, shoulders poised, looking pristine in her dress blues. She was at Alliance Headquarters in Vancouver, determined to make an impression. Having just finished medical leave, she was hoping for an assignment.

“You want to sacrifice your fleet in exchange for nothing, be my guest. But for me, my people come first so, if you aren’t able to control your egomaniacal outbursts, I will not hesitate, even for a second, to abandon all the quarians to the demise you’re so eager to lead them to. Do you copy me!?”

Knowing every single detail that Jacob is leaving out of the story, her mind is quite occupied in unburying old feelings and memories to realize his tale has ended until half of the village is already heading to their respectives cabins.
