Hello! I'm an over-educated, occasionally unemployed 30-something-year-old with a BA in English and Japanese, and an MA in Asian Studies. I'm also mother to a preschooler who keeps me busy when I'm supposed to be writing. I've been writing fanfiction for over 15 years now. I'm currently writing Dragon Age and Mass Effect fanfics, with hopes to return to Hana Yori Dango stories in the near future.

I mirror my stories on AO3. I am starting to post stories there that you can't find here. You can find my work there at AO3, or come talk to me on Tumblr! I'm Lindira in both places.

If anyone's curious what Tangerine/Illyria looks like from my Dragon Age fics, that's her in my profile pic. :)

As mentioned above, I am no longer posting new stories here at FFnet. I will only be updating existing stories. Please find me at AO3 to read any new works.

I am writing in the following series:

- Ma'nehn & Amatus series - Stories (usually oneshots) featuring my canon for Dorian Pavus and Aeric Lavellan. Stories are related, but can be read alone. Chronological order is as follows:

1. "A Bit of History"
2. "Settling In"
3. "Sound of the Unlocking"
4. "On Scars and Slavery"
5. "For the Soul"
6. "A Capable Hunter"
7. "Ma'nehn"
8. "The Lift Away"
9. "Greatest of These"
10. "Sense Things"
11. "Fearful Thoughts" (On AO3 only)
12. "Flawed Enough" (On AO3 only)

- Never Changes series - Fallout/Dragon Age Crossover AU. This is a series of short stories featuring Dorian Pavus and Aeric Lavellan in the Fallout universe. It came about after an ask on Tumblr about what Dorian and Aeric would be like in Fallout. This AU posits that Thedas was a virtual reality simulation like the one in Tranquility Lane in Fallout 3. Dorian and Aeric discover that the world they know is fake and escape from the simulation, only to find themselves in the Fallout nuclear wasteland, having lost their memories of who they really are.

1. "Researcher SF14"
2. "Briar Rose"
3. "New Skin" (On AO3 only)
4. "Not Much"
5. "Shelter"
6. "Purple-Colored Curtains"

- Libraries & Diners series - A Modern AU series of oneshots featuring Dorian Pavus and Aeric Lavellan. Dorian is an upper-class PhD student at the University of Orlais. Aeric is a lower-class cook with a passion for learning. A series of stories as they meet, fall in love, and navigate the mundane struggles of modern life.

1. "Circulation"
2. "Rest Stop"

Works in Progress:

Doing Dragon Age Inquisition oneshots at the moment. Trying not to do any long fic until I have more time to devote to them... o.O;;

"Flawed Enough" - Updated through Chapter 2! - Post-Trespasser Pavellan fic. Part of the Ma'nehn & Amatus series. (On AO3 only)

Recently completed:

"Diverged in a Yellow Wood" - An AU Pavellan fic that is not part of my Ma'nehn & Amatus series.

"Define Dancing" - Pavellan smut fic set during the "Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts" quest. (On AO3 only)

"Fearful Thoughts" - Pavellan fic from Dorian's POV, set during Trespasser. Part of the Ma'nehn & Amatus series. (On AO3 only)

Hibernating:

"The Value of Royal Blood (Light Version)" - I SWEAR I will continue this, but I've got to work my way back to it. I've got almost everything planned out, but there's a lot to cover...

"Beyond the Looking Glass" - On hiatus indefinitely, but I hope to have time to return to it eventually, after re-playing some DA:O for a refresher. Main events are plotted out, but the journey between each event is giving me some trouble.

"Eurydice Rising" - On hiatus indefinitely, though I hope to continue it when I have the time and inspiration. I'm thinking I'll need to reread the manga and watch the dramas to make sure I get back into the swing of things - I want to make sure I continue to get the characterization right.
