 Author has written 4 stories for Mass Effect. "To be nobody but yourself in a world that's doing it's best to make you somebody else, is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting." - E.E Cummings Sooo Heyy :) I mostly read a lot of fanfictions, especially ones that pertain to the Mass Effect series. I've been working on one story so far, more to come soon, and I beta some on the side. | |||||||

Behind the Armor by Meggo929 reviews

Snow by swaps55 reviews
A cold gust of air wakes him up, slipping in under the sheets and raising goosebumps on his skin. The pillow next to him is empty but still contains traces of warmth, the covers on her side of the bed kicked back with the same reckless abandon she applies to dirty dishes and discarded laundry.

The Impossible Makes Us Mighty by EpsilonBeta reviews
A post-ME3 Zaeed/Shepard (F) romance that just won't get out of my head. A little bit off-canon but it's pretty much all there if you squint. Lots of little references and in-jokes, particularly to the Citadel DLC. I like to quote Shakespeare. Reviews would be appreciated.
