A little headcanon I have: Fig gets her "I'm a German Shepard" from her mom. Sandra Lynn who's a ranger, who's in tune with nature and is very good at keeping an eye out, and even better at protecting people she cares about. While Fig protects in close quarters, caring spells and whaling on people with her bass, Sandra Lynn rains arrows from the sky and has a protective death stare that can kill a giant from 100 yards

Starry Starry Night - Akiko Valentina constantly wished that she’d take that advice to heart for once in her life. Growing up, it seemed like every wish she’d make would come true. Life should’ve been a breeze… and it was for a while. Her family had won the lottery a few years ago, along with her mother’s seaweed gin distillery taking off which brought the Valentina Family even more fortune. Classes would be cancelled, boys asked her to the dance, her favourite TV shows would suddenly be back even when they were cancelled whenever she seemed to will it. Though, like a bad 90s kids horror series, there was always a cruel twist at the end.

Now living alone in the penthouse apartment her now dead family’s fortune got her, Akiko spends her free time overindulging herself in luxury, to distract herself from the dark. Things had gotten stale after two years of spoiling herself rotten.

“I wish something would happen in my boring life.”

One night, she’s approached by a stranger on the way home from partying…

Eidolons and Eudaemonia -Eudaimonia is a world where each country worships a particular element. Each country has a temple and a candle that must be lit at all times to prevent a calamity. Its said that the candles represent hope, the one thing that kept ‘humanity’ going after the first calamity. Every few centuries, new candles must be created and infused with magic and blessings from each country before being placed in the temples and lit. It’s a ritual that has been carried on long before the formation of the Church of the Star Bringer, which eventually took control of candle duties.

3 Ships Shepard X Garrus Vakarian - Friends to lovers babeyyyy. When I first entered the Inuyasha fandom I was an Inuyasha X Kagome person but fell down the Seshoumaru X Kagome ship hole when the fanfics I were finding interested me more. And let's go with Rogue X Gambit because I still get feral over that from when my uncle would recount their relationship to me growing up.

First Ship The first one I remember is Cloud X Tifa from Final Fantasy VII. And I'm in this one for life. Have I said I am such a friends to lovers sucker? It's a recurring theme.

Last Song Different Sun by BUZZ is in my headphones right now as I go through my Discover Weekly playlist by Spotify. So first time hearing it but thoroughly enjoying it.

Currently Reading Hoo boy. I am reading so many at a time lately. Where the Dark Stands Still by A.B. Poranek, Dragonfall by L.R. Lam, Fumiko and the Finicky Nestmate by Forthright, Bonesmith by Nicki Pau Preto, Crown of Feathers by Nicki Pau Preto, Dune by Frank Herbert, Daughter of the Moon by Sue Lynn Tan, So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole, and Drag Me Up by R.M. Virtues.

Last Film My friend and I re-watched Godzilla (2014) the other night. I really love that one.

Currently Craving Some sort of ice cream with candy in it.

WIP Whenever

Finally managed to write something! Just some voice testing for Nico Shepard and Ash, post-Eden Prime:

It took all of Ash's discipline not to reach out to the young man lying prone on the bed in Dr. Chakwas's medbay. He was still asleep, eyes fluttering behind their lids and brows furrowed even as his fingers twitched by his sides and his head rolled on the pillow. A dream, the doctor had said, something vivid and strong enough to set off her sensors, and Ashley wasn't sure how much of that had to do with that…thing, that strange force that had grabbed first Alenko and then Nico when the younger man had surged forward to pull his lieutenant away. It had happened so fast -- talking with Nico one minute to catching the look of alarm on his face before he'd pushed past her and then --

--watching, horrified, Alenko holding her back as Nico was wrenched into the air, body struggling --

"--no signs of permanent damage." Dr. Chakwas's voice cut through her thoughts and Ashley blinked, refocusing on the doctor. 

"You mentioned unusual brainwaves?" she pressed. 

"Won't know more about that until he wakes up."

It's been hours already. She knew she didn't have to stay here, watching over him like this. But with Alenko already discharged and the persistent sense of limbo from her own abrupt reassignment to the Normandy…

And the fact that if I don't make sure he's okay Lynn will have my head…

She suppressed a smile at the thought, shaking her head. Of all the people she could've expected to run into on the Eden Prime assignment, Nico freakin' Shepard hadn't exactly been at the top of her list. 

The universe was funny that way.

He shifted on the bed, drawing her attention, and she couldn't help but take in all the ways he had -- and hadn't -- changed since she'd seen him last. 

He was taller, bulkier, far and away from the scrawny kid he'd been when he was a cocky, know-it-all teenager still dating her little sister. Same cap of thick black hair, ends trying to curl despite how short he had it cut, and that smirk may have been hidden by his helmet back planet-side but she knew it was still there from the way his eyes crinkled at the corners. 

New scars ran along his upper arm, but she remembered the one on his cheekbone, knew the little ones on his fingers. Hazards of a teenage smart-ass, as she'd liked to tease him back in the day, always straddling that line between brilliance and impatience, with the burns to prove which side he tended to land on. 

She wondered if that was still the case. Wondered how different Nico-the-Alliance-solider was from Nico-the-cocky-tech-genius.  

"Mmm…"

"Doctor?" 

"Give him some space."

Ashley hopped off the neighboring bed where she'd been perching during her vigil, watching as Nico's eyes fluttered and slowly opened. Warm brown eyes blinked in confusion until they settled on her. 

"…Ash?"

She grinned, stepping to his side while the doctor pulled out her 'tool on the opposite side of the bed. "Hey, kiddo," she murmured, keeping her voice soft. "How ya feelin'?"

"…You remember Lynn's after-graduation party?"

"When you all got absolutely shit-faced?"

"I feel like the next morning."

She laughed, shaking her head before offering her hand to help him sit up. He pulled himself into a seated position with a wince, his free hand moving to rub at the back of his neck. 

"What even happened?"

"What do you remember?" the doctor asked. 

"Uh…" Nico squinted in thought. "Some ancient alien bullshit?"

Ash snorted. "Very helpful, kiddo."

Nico glared her way, the effect undermined by the fact he was clearly trying not to laugh. 

"But accurate, eh?" He cocked his head at her. "And excuse you, that's Commander Kiddo these days." This time he did grin, then winced, and they both looked toward Dr. Chakwas. 

"I'll get you something for the pain, Commander."

"Is everyone okay?" Nico asked after swallowing down some pills and giving the doctor as many details as he could remember -- including the unsettling dreams that had been plaguing him while asleep. "Alenko?"

"LT's doing okay," Ash assured him. She'd moved to sit on the bed beside him, their legs dangling over the edge. "Whatever that was didn't have a chance to work him over like it did you."

"Good." 

"You really doing okay, Nic?" she asked after a moment, voice soft. He had that stormy expression she remembered so well, the one that told her he was in deep thought and the thought wasn't a pleasant one. Jaw set, slight pull at his lower lip indicating he was biting at it from the inside, a tightness around his eyes that could've easily been discomfiture as much as lingering pain from his headache. 

"Yeah," he replied after a long moment. "Just… s'been a weird day. Days? Fuck, I don't know. Went from being told I was participating in a standard shakedown for the Alliance's hot new toy to finding out that wasn't the case -- I mean, I kinda suspected as much, but…"

"They didn't tell you about the beacon?"

"Not til we got in-system." He picked at the seam of his pants, mouth a tight line. "And apparently that turian I mentioned, the one we found dead at the space port? He was a Spectre, sent along to evaluate me."

"Evaluate…? They want you for the Spectres?"

"Mm."

Ashley watched him, frowning. Nico was… gifted. Always had been. He'd gone from being one of the youngest students accepted into Grissom Academy to spearheading their engineering program to graduating early, his senior thesis being put to the unexpected test during the Blitz -- and earning him the title Hero of Elysium. He enlisted in the Alliance a year later on his eighteenth birthday, and she knew he'd been invited to the Villa shortly after his first year of service. Hadn't gotten the N7 designation yet, but she knew it was only a matter of time. 

Being called to represent humanity as their first-ever Spectre was something she would've thought he'd want more than anything. 

"Nicky," she murmured. "What's going on?"

He blew out a sigh. "Just… don't like being kept in the dark about that shit, you know? Maybe if…" He chewed on his lip, almost hard enough to bruise. "Maybe if I'd known a bit more before all that shit went down, I wouldn't have lost Jenkins."

Ah. 

She bit back the obvious words -- the truth any soldier knew, that coming back from any given mission was never a given. Something she knew Nico understood, deep down, and something she also knew would ring like empty comfort if she bothered pointing it out now. 

Knowing the score didn't stop her young friend from keeping that tally carved into his soul. 

"Anderson said it was a need to know situation," Nico went on after a moment. He huffed, rolling his eyes. "Load of crap, if you ask me. He could've said something…"

"He's as bound by that red tape as any of us, kiddo," she pointed out. 

"Or he still sees me as a child," he grumbled. She cocked an eyebrow, folding her arms over her chest until he glanced her way and she caught his eye. 

"I don't think he sees you that way," she began. "But you are kind of acting like it, yeah?"

He narrowed his eyes, but his lips twitched in a smile when she nudged his ribs with her elbow. 

"I'm just sayin'," he started. 

"That as the Alliance's resident golden boy, you should be given higher clearance than everyone else."

"Exactly!"

He was smiling fully now, a dimple flashing in one cheek. 

"Glad to see your humility is still intact after all these years."

"Pretty sure it's grown, even," he replied, tone lofty. "I'm the most humble son of a bitch you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting; revel in my graciousness."

Ashley rolled her eyes, grinning, and promptly elbowed him again.

AO3 MEME

tagged by @elfyourmother & no-pressure tagging @junemermaid @lynne-monstr @glorious-spoon @la-muerta and the usual 'anyone who would like to be tagged'

Rules: Give us the links to your wonderful words with the most hits, most kudos, most comments, most bookmarks, most words, and least words.

Most Hits: I am for you (20,927) my mundane Malec epistolary email fluff-fic WIP. Some day I will finish it tho!

Most Kudos: two are halves of one (1,222) More Malec fluff. A 5+1 canon compliant outsider POVs.

Most Comments: Also I am for you (426 threads, 796 comments)

Most Bookmarks: with an if in its soul (461) This was supposed to be a eulogy. Like. Just the eulogy. Technically kind-of a not!fic! Barely long enough to be worth posting! And then I never got to the eulogy at all and instead wrote over 22k words for a case fic where-in no one actually stayed dead!

Most Words: By myself, Lost For Words, my Horizon fix-it fic for ME2 that uh, also decided to ignore all my original intentions. (Which were completed with the first chapter. And then I kept going.)

Though I am for you will have more when it's done!

Total word count max is a collaborative fic-wip in hibernation (aka an Unfinished Object, or UFO, which seems especially appropriate for Mass Effect) Persephone Rising, (190,409) where @siawrites, @evilsapphyre & I put our three Vanguard Shepards in the same world state because the realization that we hadn't overlapped background/service history was both hilarious & irresistible.

Least Words* So I have a LOT of old meme/ask box fic that is really short (3 sentences! One scene response! That kind of thing) and that I also archived into ficlet-collection-fics as individual CHAPTERS so there is no really feasible way for me to figure this out without way more effort than I'm willing to expend.

That said, the shortest ficlet I posted by itself is Consequences, a DAO epilogue for @owlmoose95 about a Brosca who'd romanced Alistair and then spared Loghain... and been horrified both by Alistair's lack of political sense AND Anora's egregiously human-only perspective, so really wanted them to work together on ruling Ferelden or they'd be as fucked up as Orzammar in a few years, and no one wants that.

She's maybe a little bitter about all the idiots around her for awhile.

It is also only 194 words, which is legit shorter than some of my fanmixes because I've been known to babble. 😅

OC tag game

tagged by @mxkelsifer, thank you! no-pressure tagging @milesmentis, @galfrey, @spindleweedss, and @dr-paine to play

favorite oc - They're all special to me, but current favorite is a tie between Shion Miller and Neri Surana

newest oc - Winter Shepard-- wait, no, Ria Hawke

oldest oc - Neri, albeit not in their current form

meanest oc - Hmmm. Probably Winter. With Dana Hawke a close second.

softest oc - Every OC has at least some steel in them, but Aryn Lavellan and Shion can be quite soft

most aloof/standoffish oc - Winter

dumbest (affectionate) oc - Dana, though say that to her face and you'll end up very hurt (tbf I tend to write intelligent OCs, making this a somewhat challenging pick)

smartest oc - Uhhhh… Aryn and Shion, perhaps?

horniest oc - Winter, though Heather Cousland is up there

oc you'd bang - none of them; this thought has never crossed my mind before 😅

oc you'd be best friends with irl - I really don't know! I expect I'd be friends with most of them, but best friends? Shion and Neri and I might get on each other's nerves too much for that. Or just be a trio with raging imposter syndrome. Lynn Shepard's a good candidate, though I'd struggle with her military-ness.

[thatdreadbitch]

Rules: Using this picrew, design yourself and your OCs! Or just your OCs if that’s what you’re comfy with - it’s up to you!! :D

I made my Femsheps!! First up is Cassandra Grace Shepard. She's a Colonist/Sole survivor. She starts out as a soldier because of the trauma surrounding her biotics but post-lazarus becomes a Vanguard due to Cerberus working off of a forged record. She's about 78-80% Paragon. She's full of trauma and issues that she does eventually work on but has very few close friends outside of the turian family that adopted her. She eventually gets with Kaidan and Garrus.

Next up is Cassandra's older step-cousin Captain Bethany Hannah Shepard

She is a Spacer who is also the War Hero of Elysium and the Butcher of Torfan. She is about 70-75% paragon but has absolutely no time for Bullshit from anyone. She was actually the first choice for being the first human spectre but turned it down in favor of Cassandra getting the opportunity and has always hated the spotlight. She eventually does become a Spectre after the Battle of the Citadel and then later on usurps Liara as the ShadowBroker before the Reapers arrive. She has very few friends. She starts out as an L2 sentinel but before leaving the Alliance gets retrofitted to the L5n.

Finally Here is Bethany's Identical twin Isabella Lynn Shepard. She left the Alliance to pursue a career in Psychology after nearly dying at Torfan and has not been on the best of terms with Bethany ever since. Like her twin she was a biotic though she was able to wait until the L3's were developed to get an implant and she is an Adept. I have no idea when she'll make an appearance in my fic.

Thank you for tagging me @acciokaidanalenko !!

No Pressure tag: @dramaqueenharley @cr-noble-writes @ladynyxeris @commander-krios and anyone else who sees this and wants to try it

tag game. list the fics in your works in progress folder. tagged by @im-an-angy-alpaca (thank you!💖)

girlies the amount of wip that have at least 1k to them in my drive is unfathomable and these two are really the only ones that i am actively working on (or thinking of the idea of working on, which counts!) currently

no rules in breakable heaven - darius/rosa one night stand turned to friends with benefits. i wrote nearly 50k for this, scrapped some of it, wrote some more, decided to make it a oneshot instead before going right back to my 50k. i think the biggest struggle is pinning down rosa. since we only really have scatterings of her background, i have to conjure up a solid throughline for her based on conjecture and headcanon on what i characterize her need, flaws, and their foundations to be while also being consistent with what's established. with darius, it's much simpler because i'm starting off with a blanker slate in comparison. my process has been a mess. lol it will be posted once i'm complete with the whole thing (not just the chapter); just not sure when.

here, and where you are - shinkane pride and prejudice au. i have no excuse for this one because everything's practically outlined. someone already wrote a whole ass novel for me. i'm just too wrapped up in no rules to have the time and attention to give this its proper due.

and here's a smattering of things i've written sizeable chunks for that aren't dead but are in a coma and i do revisit their ward from time to time to drop a line or idea or two

the greatest films of all time were never made - artem character study where artem never confesses and he has to watch rosa marry marius lmao 😭

two untitled artemrosa smut oneshots where artem and rosa have pollen-induced sex in the lost gold event and another where rosa doms artem after the events of atmospherics

mothers and daughters - shakarian fic post-me3 where a depressed shepard uncovers a trafficking conspiracy, adopts a baby krogan, and reunites with her estranged friends (including the turian whose heart she broke...and not necessarily in that order)

they say in heaven, love comes first - shinkane san junipero au

la petite mort - shinkane one night stand goes wrong canon divergence

an eternal sunset of what we are - shinkane persuasion au set in some indefinite time period

kintsugi - shinkane epistolary modern au based on this postcard. it's very slice of life switching between kou in london and akane in san francisco and their respective lives and friends and the ways they intersect

vagabonds, ne'er-do-wells, and insufferable bastards - tua au where teen viktor decides to run away from home to find his mother, which sets off a chain of unprecedented events

and i could see for miles, miles, miles - rdr2 arthur/oc fic where arthur survives, goes west, and finds quiet companionship with one of charles's old contacts who works as a part-time laundress in a sanatorium he ends up recuperating in. she and her mother are one of my fave ocs. her name's vera larue (originally just guinevere bc im shameless and too literal before i made it less Final Fantasy Naming Conventions), her mother is ada lynn, and they're creoles of color who also moved west during the turn of the century. i did a lot of research for this that never actually went into the story that much lmao the sanatorium vera works for is based on barlow respiratory hospital in echo park and her mother's boarding house is situated in what's essentially brick block, a historic black neighborhood that started to populate in dtla prior to the first great migration. much of this work i actually ended up incorporating into my grad thesis bc i got carried away from yknow actually writing the story. but from the start this was intended to be a very meditative historical romance focused on domestic life and recovery in the early 1900s with a dynamic that's reasonably informed but not dominated by the race relations of that time before i got too lost in the weeds. again.

ANYWAY im not tagging anybody bc i'm ashamed at how much i've neglected to write lmao no one look at me

It's Tag Game Tuesday ✨✨

I got tagged on Thursday, so I hope you don't mind me doing this now. Thanks to @malazuzu22 for the tag, it's been a while since I've done one of these :D

Name: Fiyas, Though pretty much everyone knows my name and just calls me Lynne :)

Pronouns: She/Her

Where do you call home: Michigan, USA

Favorite animal: I have so many. Sharks, for sure, along with most marine animals. Foxes!! Maned Wolves (basically foxes going through an awkward puberty). Red pandas!!!! Deer!

Cereal of choice: Chocolate Krave.

Are you a visual, audio, or kinesthetic learner: I'm a kinesthetic learner! I learn best by doing the thing as someone explains what I'm doing or how to do it. Now, memory wise, I'm best at remembering things I see/read.

First pet: Depends. The first family pet I remember having growing up was a Siamese cat named Sam. But the first pet that I owned, just for me, is my dog, Shepard, who is a mutt that looks like a mini Australian Cattle Dog.

Favorite scent: I like spearmint :)

Do you believe in astrology: Not really, no.

How many playlists do you have on Spotify/apple music: 14, not including my "Likes" playlist, which is the one I'm usually listening to.

Sharpies or highlighters: Sharpies. Highlighters are too bright, I prefer more desaturated colors.

A song that makes you cry: "Let's Hurt Tonight" by OneRepublic, and I think you all know why. Another one is "Vincent" by Don McLean.

A song that makes you happy: "Sunny" by Papa Ya and since I gave two for the last one, "GUY.exe" by Superfruit!! :D

And finally, do you write/draw/create: I draw mostly, but I sometimes write, when I can.

This was really fun to do, so thanks again Zuzu! I'm gonna tag a few people who Zuzu didn't already tag that I think might like to do this, but no pressure!

@illogicals-blog @ellionne @madbuns @messier-47 @grimnyr @silvermadara @nkkia and last, but certainly not least, @slrsunfire
