As it turns out, quite a lot! FemShep. Soft HFY. And a very different kind of self-insert.

Every great once in a while you stumble upon something that changes your world and makes you fall in love with it. For me, that was Mass Effect; but that love affair only existed for the series to break my heart with a lackluster ending.

Duty binds the honorable to a cause which was not theirs to uphold. The story I seek to create may not be what you are expecting. It will be a long and arduous journey.

I will finish this story no matter how long it takes.
