Elaine Cousland, stranded over 1000 years beyond her time, is thrust into the midst of the Reaper War alongside Commander Shepard and the crew of the Normandy. Even as they struggle to end the cycle, they are beset by betrayal and horror at every turn. Yet something else is coming, something that will change the face of this war forever, a threat only Elaine knows how to face.

Elaine Cousland's duty is done: the Archdemon is dead. Where she once thought to join her family at the Maker's side, instead she awakes on a strange world. Here, an evil both new and familiar has come, and as a Warden it is her responsibility to vanquish it. At any cost. She will join the strange ship that sails the stars, the Normandy, and defeat the Collectors. Once and for all.

It was madness. It was utter, absolute, madness. And Cullen loved every single second of it. NSFW-ish. Be warned.

Shepard wakes up in Ferelden after destroying the reapers. As she unravels where she is and how to get back home, she uncovers shocking truths about how she's already connected to Ferelden, the Blight, and the dark spawn.

In matters of life and death, it's our journey to understand the universe, ourselves and those we care about that keeps us truly alive. For many that path includes love, loss, betrayal & violence. FemShepXGarrus. Covers time from ME2-3, flashbacks to ME1, graphic.
