Author has written 5 stories for Mass Effect, and Dragon Age.

Oh hi!

A little about me I suppose. I'm a giant dork with a love for sci-fi. When work isn't getting in the way, I like to play games in a few different genres: tabletop, console, and PC. I love role playing, and the ability it has to bring out a side of you you didn't realize you possessed. Also, I am accepting stories for beta reading! If you want someone to look over your story, see my beta profile and drop me a PM if you're interested!

Some things that I think are awesome: Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Game of Thrones, Portal, Firefly, Red Dead Redemption, Skyrim, Bioshock, the odd cosplay, D&D, Sid Meier's Civilization, coffee, and space.

Some things that I think are less than awesome: Horror movies, jump scares, the way Bioware wrote Jacob Taylor, and zombies. I hate zombies. As in, I have an unrealistic fear of them. Same with spiders.

I'm pretty active over at the forum Aria's Afterlife, so feel free to come hang out with us!

Shiny Blades and Tempest Flames by The Rogue of Dragonstone reviews
Evelyn doesn't know if the mark is a curse or a blessing. Unlikely alliances, flame-forged friendships, and a big surprise in the form of a loud mouthed imp. Left of canon, but not so far you'll be lost. All star cast. Strong M.

Asclepius Abides by wyles77 reviews
"To be a ship's medic is to be doctor, priest, teacher, and parent to your crewmates. You're the one who's supposed to fix everything, the one they scream for in agony, the only one upon whose shoulder it is permissible to cry. They willingly bare their souls to you. And that sacred trust is how I endure." Karin Chakwas reflects on her time aboard the Normandy.

Wicked Grace by The Rogue of Dragonstone reviews
Cards. Crew. Whiskey. Flirting. Jealousy. Just a regular game of Wicked Grace in the Herald's Rest. Warning of sexy times. One shot, but part of something more.

Fallen Angels by wyles77 reviews
Six months after the fall of the Reapers, the survivors of the harvest are slowly trying to rebuild their shattered communities and civilisation. Not everyone, however, has the same idea of what the new galactic civilisation should be. Can Commander Rachel Shepard and her intrepid crew protect the fledgling peace they fought so hard to win? Sequel to Better Angels.

Lights in the Sky by Vorcha Girl reviews
James Vega had dreamed about Rennah Shepard for years and always hoped to meet her, but when he's tasked with keeping her safe on Earth he gets more than he bargained for; she's argumentative, stubborn and sexy as sin. Joining the crew of the Normandy, fighting the Reapers and falling in love was never part of the plan... (Vega/FemShep - Rated M for a reason)

Gas, Air and Rum by N.J Jordbrukaren reviews
Shepard gets blackout drunk and wakes up with a naked Liara beside her. Doesn't seem so bad, does it? There's just one problem, Shepard is in a relationship with someone else... Kink Meme fill.

The other side of silence by Andromedamnit reviews
An elaboration on the Thane and Shepard romance in ME2 which will then depart from the ME3 canon in (hopefully!) an interesting and satisfying way. My first full length fan fiction so please forgive errors/clichés etc. I'm just doing this for the love of Thane and, of course, the legend of Commander Shepard. Updates most weekends.

Remnants of the Whole by Convergence-Eternal reviews
Set post ME3 High EMS destroy ending, this is the story of Shepard trying to start an family in an hostile galaxy. Inspired by the works of much better authors like bojangles25. Contains OC's, OOC moments, and minor cannon defilement.

The Canticle of Transfigurations by wyles77 reviews
Justinia's letter from beyond the grave brings Leliana and the Inquisitor to the chantry in Valence, seeking the Divine's final gift to her most faithful servant. What Leliana finds there, however, is certainly not nothing; in fact, it's absolutely the last thing she expects. Slightly off-canon, spoilers for Inquisition, (F)Warden/Leliana, rated for mature themes.

Mass Effect: Corrosion by TenDollarT reviews
"No Man Knows My History" - Commander Shepard is a lie built atop a wish that entombs a scream; her past is a nightmare that bleeds relentlessly into her waking life. And still Christina Shepard has to survive to meet her destiny, defend a suicidally ambivalent galaxy, and maybe not punch Councilor Sparatus in the face. More than once.

Beyond the Fire by Neutral Ground reviews
To breach the light, one must walk through darkness. Nicole Shepard is a Sole Survivor/Colonist with a unique history and traumas that have shaped her and will continue to define her journey. She is not a renegade, and she's not a paragon. She is a human being. And she is very, very dangerous. ME1 novelization featuring a femshep/Liara romance.

Of Sheep and Battle Chicken by LogicalPremise reviews
My AU retelling of ME1 in a darker, sinister universe. Much darker and more realistic views of the SA and the Citadel Council, a more dangerous, involved Cerberus, and a more conflicted Saren and Benezia. Changes much of the ME1 dynamic to remove plot holes with more focus on politics, military strategy, and space combat. Pairing is FShep/Liara. Rewritten through Chapter 65 so far.

You've Got Mail! by TenyumeKasumi reviews
When Kai Leng sends a mocking message to Shepard's terminal after the commander's defeat on Thessia, the crew decide that a little spammy revenge is in order.

Better Angels by wyles77 reviews
As Liara recovers from injuries received in the battle for Earth, she discovers that her final joining with Shepard has bestowed some unintended consequences. Working with the crew to get the Normandy back into space, she struggles to come to terms with the idea that she has lost the Commander for a second and final time.

Cora Shepard is facing a lot of unknowns: Collectors, Cerberus, coming back from the dead, and Miranda. Set during the beginning of the ME2 timeline.

The Inquisitor's Impetus reviews
A collection of short chapters of things that I just want to write. I'll stick to one particular pairing, but I mostly just want to fill in the blanks, and build a story where I think one could be built.

The Doctor Is In reviews
Doctor Chloe Michel arrives at the Citadel with hopes and dreams for a new clinic. What she finds instead is a quarian with a gunshot wound, a Navy Commander with a penchant for destruction, and a particularly handsome turian. Set during the start of ME1, one shot, mostly canon.

Forever and Ever, Amen reviews
Cora Shepard has the illustrious duty of saving the entire galaxy, even though battling space squids it isn't necessarily what she signed on for. Mostly canon, though it will deviate in certain aspects. Vanguard, Spacer, Ruthless, no strict determination on alignment, but leans towards the red in demeanor. Rated M for language, violence, and sexual content.
