Barddoc1992hide bio
 Author has written 3 stories for Mass Effect. I'm a former English professor who had to retire far too young because of serious health issues. I have a lot of professional writing experience in nearly every category except fiction, so I was really surprised when I started getting plot and character ideas after playing the Mass Effect trilogy too many times. These stories are my first attempt at creative writing since high school, a very, very long time ago. My husband and son got me interested in gaming. They know I love detailed, character-driven stories when I read, so they pointed me toward BioWare. I've been a fan since Neverwinter Nights. If I had to pick, then KOTOR, Mass Effect 2, and Dragon Age 2 are my favorites. I could just play those over and over. More recently I've branched out into the Fallout (REALLY like New Vegas) and Witcher franchises. Sadly, my only gaming mode is PC. No consoles in my house currently. UPDATE: We now also have a PS3. Yay! And now a PS4!! I'm slowly creating a long fic that will probably run to about 40 chapters. It begins in ME2 and will hopefully, eventually, Morgan and Thane will get to have a story that takes them beyond the Omega 4 relay! Yay! (And yes, the series will go NSFW at some point). I'm just starting to expand my writing to shorter one-offs and drabbles, one of which (a gift fic) is now posted. I might start to post more of them, if I can convince myself I'm happy with them. You can also find me on AO3, deviantArt, and on Tumblr. |

Curious Jealousy by HeartyMedusa reviews
Kaidan had questioned Shepard's loyalties since Horizon and even admitted that he tried to move on from her. Naturally, Shep is going to be jealous (especially after she meets the other woman). Also, there is some potential jealousy from a certain Major, given how Shep and a certain Lieutenant flirt. Rated M for language, drunkenness, and potential future content.

Moments In Between by Askeebe reviews
Some are quiet, some are dangerous, some touch our hearts. These are the moments between what we've seen in ME2, the stories untold, the reasons why strangers became friends and lovers. Mainly featuring the slow build up and romantic interest between FemShep and Thane. Mostly canon for ME2, but building to an AU after that. Complete.
