My name's Matt! I'm a writer.

Sadly, my last name isn't actually Corn, and I'm not in the military.

I like boys, turians, Mass Effect, and puns, in that order.

Searching for Shepard by Kaida22 reviews
Shepard is supposed to be dead. She doesn't know why she's back. On a Cerberus ship with a Cerberus crew she's never felt so alone, and she can't shake the feeling that something about her is...wrong. Once she starts digging, she can never go back. Set in ME2, post resurrection. Slight AU as I've moved events & timelines around.
