Author has written 16 stories for Mass Effect, and Harvest Moon.

Hello all! Hope you enjoy my stuff. Most of it is just goofy fun so relax and have a good time :)

Tumblr:

If ya care to visit.

If you’re new, hello! People have been checking out my older stuff of late so I figured I’d create a handy guide (that no one cares about, most likely).

Ahem*

My Wee Series:

The Perfect Woman

The Perfect Reunion

The Perfect Ending

The Perfect Wedding

So, yeah, I look back on these with so much embarrassment. They are meant to be super goofy humor, but I was still finding my voice so nothing quite feels right to me. I often consider deleting them, as they feel like a blemish, but I have finally firmly resolved to keep them up.

I think it’s good to remember our roots, and whenever I feel down about my current writing, it’s nice to look back on how much I’ve improved. My struggle to write two thousand word chapters, the insane amount of grammatical errors, the wishy washy characterization, and the sometimes cringe worthy dialogue remind me that no matter how hard it seems, I should keep trucking along because the more I write the more I am able to better myself.

Anyways, give them a peek if you’re in the mood for a laugh and a bit of secondhand embarrassment. Otherwise, I’d say skip em’.

Dinner Date:

A semi-serious oneshot turned super goofy story. Another one that’s good for a lighthearted laugh.

As the Years Roll By:

AU in all respects. Mass Effect meets When Harry Met Sally. Riddled with spelling mistakes and grammatical errors that I hope to someday find the time to go back and edit. A silly romcom with a soppy ending.

Little Talks:

My attempt at a more serious piece, though of course my stupid sense of humor creeps in now and again. Slowly but surely we are still trucking along. More than halfway through, but we have awhile to go yet.

The Days We Have Forgotten:

That silly High School AU where the title no longer matches the contents because the characters swept it away in a different direction. I like this one. It’s a fun diversion and offers a couple nice chuckles. The end is in sight, but quite a few chapters to go yet.

One Shots:

Recuperation

Takes place after the Sanctuary mission in ME3. Full of naked ladies and fluff.

Stay

Despite the different ways in which I write it happening, this is truly how I believe a relationship between my Shepard and Miranda would play out. A little give, a heck of a lot of take, and pride getting in the way of passion. A couple errors that make me cringe, but in tone my favorite story of those I have written thus far.

Beginning at the End

Not a huge fan of this one. Wrote it to procrastinate from working. People die, it’s all very melodramatic.

Beauty and the Beast

Takes place after the war and is easily the most serious thing I have attempted to write. Some grammatical issues here and there but hopefully nothing too detrimental. An interesting endeavor, as it was a far different style than what I’m used to.

That’s basically it. I’ve just gotten a few PM’s of folks going “where do I start?” Honestly, nothing but that one series is related so just go nuts. Pick out what calls to you. Even though they aren’t the greatest quality around, and I would be delighted to point you in the direction of some fantastic authors with far more talent than myself, if you do decide to give it a go I hope you enjoy them, have a few laughs, and some fun. Thanks for stopping by, friend.

Losing Even That by court.von.D reviews
She didn't expect "The Butcher of Torfan" to have a sense of humor. Or a heart.

The Small Pleasures of Life by digitalPenNibs reviews
For some, the good things in life boil down to a challenging job and unlimited resources. For others, it comes down to snacks and good company. It's up to Miranda to keep an eye out for Shepard as she adjusts to a second chance at life, and sometimes that just means that she has to be there when she needs to talk in the middle of a night-cycle aboard the Normandy.

The Days We Have Forgotten reviews
It is hard living day by day when your past happens to be far more appealing than the present. Luckily, there is always a future to fight for. AU Alert! Created from a request for a "dramatic high school AU". Hopefully I'll do you proud, my friend.

Electing Destruction reviews
Yet another of my random, senseless, and melodramatic one shots. A sprinkling of the usual gayness for flavor. You know the drill.

As The Years Roll By reviews
The universe is a chaotic creation, one that does little to perpetuate the idea of destiny on a grand scale. However, there are moments when two lives seem intertwined. Sometimes, friends are meant to be made. Sometimes, bonds are meant to endure. Completely AU

The Perfect Wedding reviews
DO NOT open this if you have a sophisticated sense of humor. Also do not open this if you want any semblance of a plot or purpose in what you read. In fact, it's probably better if everyone just stays away from it all together. I promise this one will stay a one shot.

The Normandy was more a home to her than any building she had ever inhabited. Life after the Reapers, because sometimes it's okay to have a happy ending.

The Perfect Reunion reviews
Miranda wanted to hit the woman, no way was it going to be her responsibility to bring up the past, was it? Feelings were Shepard's forte, not hers. Sequel to The Perfect Woman
