Romance Club
While trying to change phones I overwrote my progress and now my account is reset. I have tried several times to get help from the support function on the app but receive no response. I'm fucking gutted.
I had a 400+ day login streak but what's more is the financial investment in diamond choices and finished stories that is now just... gone...
I know its just a game but to have to restart all these stories ive already finished... I'm just sad about this.

Any rc writers you'd recommend?
Well what you'll like depends on your taste entirely. But I'll list the writers I like, with some notes to hopefully give you an idea about whether you might like them as well!
Personal favourites:
Arina (Theodora (complete), W Time Catcher (ongoing)) — great at writing complex, adult characters and making you cry. Her LIs are always very compelling and diverse, including female LIs, I want to romance everyone. Very light/dark academia core.
Jester (Moonborn (c), Legend of the Willow (c), Psi (c), The Thunderstorms Saga (o)) — always delivers a solid story with cool plot twists that aren't pulled out of his ass. Mature characters (mostly), subdued romance, political intrigue. Love his MCs, wish he gave more screen time to female LIs. Dry writing and the plot can feel slow at first. I don't agree with his social critique, but it's not a dealbreaker for me.
Tepish (Sails in the Fog (c), Love from Outer Space (o), Love, Sin & Evil Volume 1 (o)) — the king of variability, mini games and easter eggs. Utilises the interactivity to the full extent. His characters are very two-dimensional, but their simplicity works with the genres he's working with (adventure, comedy and slasher). Has a diverse set of female LIs and gives them screen time. Con is that he takes an eternity to write anything...
(Note that Moonborn and Sails in the Fog are literally the first stories on the app, so they do feel a bit outdated now in terms of art and writing.)
Writers I like, but there's nuance:
Langley (Vying for Versailles (c), 7 Brothers (o)) — similar to Tepish in that her stories are very interactive. A little more character focused. Treats female LIs with respect and overall very queer-inclusive. English is her first language, so I can attest to the fact that the writing is great! Nuance is that her LIs are not to my taste, and I don't like the setting of 7 Brothers at all.
Wincy (Heart of Trespia (c), Soulless (o)) — delivers a solid story, clearly puts a lot of thought into plot and worldbuilding. Also English speaker and queer and wlw-friendly. Wrote two explicitly aspec LIs! Nuance is that I only like one of her stories (Soulless), but I love it so much. It's funny, it's heartbreaking, every LI is deep and compelling in very different ways and MC is just amazing.
Honourable mention to Alexandra (Wave Patrol (c), Path of the Valkyrie (c)) — I loved her stories, but she didn't get to finish either one properly, and now she doesn't work for RC anymore. Forever sad about that.
They only wrote one story, but I like their work so far:
Yim (Hell and High Water (o)) — interactive, diverse, complex characters, queer-friendly, poly options. Another English-speaking speaker. Melancholic and heart-warming tone. A little slow, especially in the beginning, and has been on a hiatus for a whole.
Alexandra (Heaven's Secret: Requiem (o)) — appeal to my tastes specifically. MC is a cold-blooded unempathetic brainiac who can become a little more or less of a psychopath depending on your choices. All romances are fucked up in some way. The vibe is like 2000s post apocalypse zombie game/sci-fi thriller anime. If that's something you're into as well, you will eat this shit up.
Veronica (Dracula: A Love Story (o)) — I am rereading it right now, and the beginning is so corny it's lowkey embarrassing. But the characters win me over every time, and the romances fuck so hard. Veronica grabs me by the heartstrings and never lets go; I don't know how it works, but I'm not alone in this. Cons: takes an eternity to write anything. Gives her only f!LI crumbs.

Till I Let You Fall
Hell or High Water - Percy Jackson/DC Crossover
Summary:
“Jason Todd. The second Robin, Tim and Percy’s Robin. Percy’s big brother was alive and had beat the shit out of him the night before in Titans tower.”
❤️✨HE HAS RISEN BABY GIRL‼️✨❤️🤪🦀
**************************************
“Summer’s next week, huh?” Tim said from the door way. Sleep still had its grip on him, it tugged his eyelids down and made his movements a bit more lethargic than usual. But last nights’ patrol had been rough and Percy thinks Tim deserves to be a bit lazy on a Wednesday morning.
Croc had decided to start the night with a bang, crawling out of his lair that was the sewers to terrorize and obtain whatever it was he wanted in the docks. They had yet to figure out what it was, but Percy knows that Tim or Bruce will have that info by the time he gets back from the orientation. Tim also had the misfortune of running into Polka Dot Man right before his patrol ended. The corrosive circles made his cape look like Swiss cheese and he had lost a shoe some how in that battle.
Percy fought really hard to contain his laughter when he came back to the cave like that. Hair sticking up and disheveled, one sock wet from the constant puddles of rain water and cave moisture, his belt in one hand and his other hand holding up his pants. Tim was a mess and Percy had the right as his brother and best friend to laugh at him.
“Actually, summer started on Monday,” Percy reread the itinerary for the orientation before shoving it into his backpack. “But yes, I go back to camp next week.”
Tim nodded his head, scratching at his belly as he did so. “What kinda shenanigans do you think you’ll get up to this time?”
“With my track history in mind,” he said. “Probably another cross country adventure. Higher chances of death this time, I know that for sure.”
“Why’s that?” Percy watched as Tim laid across his bed, across his clothes that Alfred had just finished pressing. “Did you have another prophetic dream or something?”
The younger of the two rolled the other off his clothes before grabbing his pillow and hit Tim with it. Percy chuckled at Tim’s groan when he threw it at his face. “Or something.” Tim did not look amused. “It’s…a vibe that I have, not so much as a dream. I just have this feeling that something is gonna happen this summer, not just camp, but here as well.”
“Like an invasion or takeover?” Percy shook his head. “Oh, one of us gets like, uber sick and we’re out for like a month? No, Bruce gets food poisoning when he goes on that date with Selina on Friday?”
“No, but that would be funny,” Percy leaned against his desk. “It’s more like, something happens to you specifically. Something happens and you get really hurt.”
“That’s not ominous at all,” Tim says.
“I know, which is why I’m leaving you these.” Percy pulls out a small drawstring bag from the desk drawer and tossed to him. It wasn’t any bigger than the palm of his hand and jingled when it landed. Inside was a good little pile of gold coins, roughly the size of a dollar coin and embossed on both sides.
One side had the empire state building on it, beams of light reaching out to the border making the picture seem holier than it was in real life. Circling the Empire state building on both side were Greek characters, probably a phrase of some kind. He could recognize a few letters, one was the popular ‘omega’ and another was ‘delta.’ There was also ‘psi’ but he couldn’t be quiet sure since it was a little different than the current version in the modern Greek alphabet, so Tim deduced that this was written in some kind of older version of the language.
On the other side of the coin was a small Pegasus encircled by a laurel wreath and the same Greek phrase on the edge of the coin. There was maybe, twenty of these coins in the bag. Each one having as different symbol in the laurel and the Empire State building on the other side. “What are these?”
“Gold drachmas,” Percy answered. “Currency of the gods, you can use them to call me when I’m gone.”
“You have a phone, though, can’t I just use that?”
He shook his head. “Have you ever seen me use my phone? If I try to use it, it’s basically a beacon to any and all monsters in Gotham, they’ll know I’m here and come after me. And I kinda don’t want to fight any more than I have to.”
“That’s fair. How does it work?” Tim sat up.
Percy moved to the window. The morning sunlight was bright and warm and so very different than how it usually is, but Tim didn’t mind it when he was inside. Like a cat, he could lay on the ground with a pillow and a blanket and take a nap in it’s warmth. He wouldn’t dare do it outside, though. Summer in Gotham was a humid hell and he didn’t want to be basting in his seat while he got roasted by the sun. At least inside he had the luxury of air conditioning.
Tim watched Percy’s gaze focused on the bottle of water on his nightstand. He watched as it’s contents began to spin in it’s plastic confines, swirling around in a vortex, making the bottle move as it did so. With an outstretched hand, Percy commanded it to burst from the bottle, pieces of plastic launched across the room—and in his hair—as the water floated it’s way to him.
Logically, Tim knows Percy can do this, he’s seen it before when Percy saved a baby bat that fell into the cave lake below. But he’s awestruck each time. Like his brain forgets that Percy has water powers and then remembers it all at once when he does it again. It was quite annoying.
He saw him make the water encircle his arm like a bracelet, a constant stream that so many fashion designers and celebrities alike would have killed to have. Carefully he made bits of the water stream off the main one, turning it into a fine mist that shakily made a rainbow in the sunlight. “Bring one of the drachmas and watch this.”
Sliding off the bed, Tim stood beside Percy as he took the drachma from him. “If, for whatever reason, you need to get a hold of me, this is how you do it. You make a rainbow, grab one of these, and say: O Iris, accept my offering!” He tossed the coin into the rainbow and Tim half expected to hear it clatter against the ground on the other side. But it didn’t. It wasn’t on the floor. It had simply vanished. “Then you ask her to show you who you need to talk to, for example: Show me, Grover Underwood, Camp Half-blood!”
A fuzzy image came into view and Tim audibly gasped at the sight. Grover looked exactly as he remembered him from sixth grade, from the curly hair, wispy beard on his chin and the slightly goat-like eyes. But while it was nice to see him again, Tim couldn’t help but take in the sights of the background.
Looming over the other buildings in the area, was a Colosseum. Old stone, withered by age but still kept up and cared for, it was the largest building Tim could see, with an amphitheater not too far from it either. A semi-circle of stone seats faced an unlit bonfire pit and a wooden stage. Pillars of white marble and lit braziers stood further behind the amphitheater, that was probably the pavilion Percy talked about. Where they eat their meals or have cabin meetings since there’s enough for all of them.
It wasn’t hard to spot the other campers Percy talks about, they all wore the same bright orange shirts he had and some were decked out in armor. Chest plates and shin straps, cauldrons and helmets, leather and shiny bronze that glinted in the sunlight. Each of them had a weapon on them. A sword on their hips, an ax in their hand or a spear. Though he knew they were kids like him, no older than eighteen, they held themselves like soldiers. Trained and dangerous kids who could hold their own for a good while in combat against the Amazonians. They fought like the Amazonians, Tim thought as he watched a group spar on the right side. Sand and dirt got kicked up as they moved, the plumes of their helmets shaved as they ducked, and the clash of blades and shields a constant background noise in Percy and Grover’s conversation.
“Alright, see ya G-man,” Percy swiped his hand though the image, ruining the rainbow and ending the magic video call. “You understand how it works now?”
Tim nodded. “Yeah.”
“Good,” Percy said sending the last bit of water on him towards the sink in his restroom, fist bumping the air when it landed in the porcelain bowl. “If anything happens, anything at all, let me know. I’ll drop everything and come home.”
“Yeah, no, I wont do that,” Tim said and collect the bag of coins. “You’re going to be fifteen at the end of the summer Percy, and you said it yourself that you’re basically a general in this war of yours. I won’t rip you away from that for something you don’t need to worry about. We can handle it here, you just make sure you don’t die when you’re in camp and that you come home for your birthday.”
“No promises,” Percy says and grabbed his stuff, knowing Alfred was going to call for him soon to head to orientation for his new high school. Tim followed him out to the hall, waiting beside Cassandra who paused to waive goodbye to her new little brother, “Oh! And don’t even think about looking for your birthday present in my room. I already gave it to Alfred to keep your grubby hands away from it.”
“Shucks,” Tim placed his hand on his hips and waived Percy goodbye as he left with Alfred.
Tim knows that Percy has magic dreams, he’s been told all about them after his initial introduction into Percy’s second life. Knows that they sometimes leave him shaking with a sheen of sweat, other times he looks haunted. As if the ghost of someone he once knew visited him, leaving him sullen during breakfast the next morning. Sometimes his dreams are pretty useful, a few times he’s woken up with a premonition, a fuzzy kind of gut feeling about a building or a profile on a certain case. Other times, he warns Tim not to go with Bruce on a case, to go another way on patrol, to stop or distract Stephanie from something. It isn’t clear why sometimes, since nothing happens after that, but Tim can just assume that whatever it was he saw didn’t happen.
But this time, Percy didn’t have any concrete feelings or visions. He didn’t have an inkling of where or when, of who was there and who wasn’t. Just a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach that kept Tim wary of whats to come later on.
Well shit.
So that’s what Percy meant when he said that Tim was going to be getting hurt.
Tim hissed in pain as he tried to reach for the handle of the drawer in the stand besides him. His right leg was in a cast, his shin was fractured and his knee was broken, as was his left wrist. The bruised ribs hurt to breath, move—exist in general, and the many cuts and bruises he got did not make anything any better.
He didn’t know what to expect in the days following Percy’s departure and the feeling of a serious injury towards him. Every day and every patrol he had spent on edge waiting for it to happen. Jumping at every person or movement in the shadow. (he felt bad every time it happened with Cass.) It got to the point that Bruce suggested that Tim takes some time away from Gotham and to head to Jump City to hang with the Titans for a bit.
Bruce.
Bruce Wayne, paranoia extraordinaire. The man who has plans for every little thing that could go wrong, told Tim that he needed some time away from Gotham. Because of Tim’s paranoia.
If Tim could laugh, he would, but his aching ribs prevented him from doing so. It also didn’t help that he was making it worse by trying to get the bag of drachmas he kept in the drawer. Normally he had them on top the stand, ready to grab in an emergency if he needed to reach out to Percy. But for some reason, he decided to tuck them into the drawer yesterday morning.
Why? He doesn’t know, he just did it, and here he was. Biting his lip in pain as he strained his good arm trying to even reach the handle. Either way, Tim has to get to those drachmas. He has to find a way to conjure a rainbow and call Percy from whatever quest he was on. This wasn’t something to put off any longer than it has been already—Jason was alive.
Jason Todd. The second Robin, Tim and Percy’s Robin. Percy’s big brother was alive and had beat the shit out of him the night before in Titans tower.
How did he come back? How long has be been alive and where has he been? So many questions had run through his head after Jason left him with an inch of his life last night. All of them needed answers, ones he doesn’t have and has no way of finding out because he was on bed rest. Which was stupid, he doesn’t need it. He’s fine.
Tim also needed to figure out where Jason was going next. He had gone on about how Batman had let another kid put on his suit, how Tim was just playing pretend in a dead kids uniform. And wow, Tim had déjà vu between the attacks from those insults since Percy had yelled them at him almost three years ago. So it was plausible for Tim to assume that Jason was heading to Gotham. He was probably going to confront Bruce or something.
And while Tim should warn Bruce of whats to come, let him know that his dead son has risen from the dead and is on a war path his way with a bullet that has his name on it. But Tim has found that he could care a little less than he should about Bruce right now. His main priority was to call his best friend to let him know that his brother was alive. After that, then maybe he’ll call Bruce.
His middle finger had just barely hooked onto the handle when the air in front of him shimmered into existence. The edges were colorful, a rainbow made of water vapor and magic, and in the middle there was a girl about his age. She had a healthy tan, much like Percy’s, and the tops of her cheeks were a bit more sun burnt than then rest of her face. Gold curls were pulled back into a ponytail letting Tim see the full intensity of her eyes.
He doesn’t think he’s ever seen some one with gray eyes like hers, storm cloud gray and a piercing stare despite the red in her sclera. Tim knows that his eyes are pretty pale compared to the darker and brighter blues and green of his family, and he has been told that his own owlish, lead-paint stare was unnerving from time to time. But Tim found himself shrinking back into his pillow under hers.
“Who are you?” He said finally before mentally cursing himself that he didn’t have a domino on.
“Are you Tim Drake?” She answered.
“Answer my question first,” Tim hardened his glare, noticing how she didn’t seem fazed at it.
“My name’s Annabeth, I’m a…” Her next words caught in her throat a little. Her gaze fluttering to her surroundings as she collected her thoughts. “I was a friend of Percy.”
Percy was never one to share personal facts about himself to those he doesn’t know or doesn’t trust. He’s seen multiple times the way Percy shuts himself off to the other kids in school, the paparazzi, or anyone he deems unsafe. When they were kids, there was no hesitation for Percy to spill his life’s story to Tim. Somehow knowing that Tim was going to be his best friend at the age of eight on that rooftop years ago. He can imagine he was the same way over there at camp.
So whoever this Annabeth was, how ever she was connected to Percy, Tim could trust her too.
“Is he okay?” Tim tried to sit up.
She gave out a shaky breath and her gray eyes welt up with tears again, he tried to not let the dread in his stomach grow. “Have you, um, have you seen the news recently?” He shook his head. “Mount St Helens erupted a week ago, we were there when it did.” The dread was growing.
“I had left to deal with another monster, and Percy stayed there as a distraction.”
No. No…This can’t—
“Percy…” She wiped a tear away. “Percy blew up the mountain. We can’t find him. We think—we believe he died, no one could survive that. There’s gonna be…” she paused for a moment. “There’s gonna be a shroud burning next Friday, I can let you into the camp if you want to come.”
Tim’s throat was dry when he tried to respond. “I thought I couldn’t go since I’m mortal?”
“A demigod can let a mortal enter with explicit permission,” she nodded her head. “If you decide to come, I can meet you at the farmers road and lead you up. You were the only one who knew about this part of Percy’s life, I think he’d want you to be here to help light the pyre.”
With that, she swiped through the rainbow screen and the magic that held the water up fell into droplets on his bed. All at once, they left a wet mark on his sheets. So then why was he still hearing water hitting the bed? It was quiet, and faint, but there nonetheless. With a hand, Tim lifted it to his cheeks and discovered they were wet.
He was crying. When did he start crying? When had Percy left on a quest, why did he go? Tim wasn’t too far away, he could’ve flown a jet or have Superboy fly him there. Tim could have helped Percy, even if he could’ve seen anything. Tim could have had Kon fly in the rumble and the surrounding area, searching though the rocks with his X-ray vision looking for him and all the other people who had been hurt by the explosion. Tim couldn’t have done anything to stop him.
This—This wasn’t how it was supposed to go. Tim was supposed to have called Percy. Wheezing from extortion, grimacing at his aching limbs and strained muscles with a smile on his face as he told Percy the news. He would seen his eyes widen, mouth drop, and maybe shed a few tears at the news. Percy would have said that he was on his way home, that he was going to pack his bag and head straight back to Gotham, but now…now…
Oh my god. Tim covered his mouth, he was going to have to tell the others.
He was going to have to be the one to tell Bruce that he lost another son to an explosion. He was going to have to tell Dick that all the bonding and reconciliation they’ve done these past two years were all for naught.
Tim was going to have to figure out a way to tell the recently revived Jason Todd that his little brother had died before he had come back to their world.
**************************************
Jason back in Gotham now >:) things are-a changing Percy’s reaction is gonna be in the next update, so stick around for that. And the dynamic between Percy and the rest of the batfam is gonna shift, quite a bit in the next arc—brace for that.
Also, this update marks the end of the second arc, I hoped you all liked it ❤️
All titles from this arc came from the song “Descending” by Sleep Token, go check them out, they’re an awesome band. Absolutely love them.
Thank you so much for reading‼️❤️

Infinite, Eternal, Immortal
A minor epilogue to a Paragon!Control ending.
The Crucible fired, and the war stopped.
The Reapers retreated en masse, husks and such turned to dust, Reaper technology across the galaxy stopped functioning. They remained for sixteen days, repairing mass relays with speed unlike any construction crew in the galaxy, then disappeared through the Omega-4 relay. The relay stopped functioning, after that, and no one could turn it back on.
But the galaxy eventually discovered that they hadn't entirely left. Indeed, there was a token force guarding a single planet: Parnax, the yahg homeworld. The reasoning for this was quickly discovered when files of Salarian "uplifting" yahg attempts flooded the extranet en masse—a Council quarantine was quickly put into place around the planet, and a Hierarchy fleet sent to patrol that border. The Reapers did not interfere with the patrol fleet; they simply remained in the planet's orbit, silent sentinels guarding the natural growth of a young species.
This group was discovered only months after the end of the War, and though they were an unnerving sight, quickly became a simple fact of life, easily ignored.
Then, ten years later, a second entourage of sentinel Reapers was discovered. A human exploration vessel ventured where few had gone before.
There was, it seemed, a second planet the Reapers guarded: a single ocean planet in the far-flung system of Psi Tophet in Sigurd's Cradle. This was a system hundreds of light-years away from the others in the cluster, sitting at its very edge. The primary star had only three planets in orbit. None had truly been explored.
The HESV Einstein decelerated from FTL to take their first look at the Psi Tophet system.
And sixteen Sovereign-class Reaper dreadnoughts suddenly appeared before them.
The Reapers, however, did not attack. Instead they took formation, creating a tunnel of sorts that herded the ship toward the system's gas giant. Any attempt to go in any other direction was quickly countermanded by a Reaper moving directly into an intercept path.
("I shit my fucking pants, no lie," said James Fredericks, Ensign to the HESV Einstein, when asked for comment. "I thought we were all gonna fucking die to a bigass red laser." It should be noted this comment was obtained while the Ensign was at an Omega bar, after having consumed two shots of Batarian liquor…and a Hanar mindfish.)
The Reapers had given them only one course of action. Taking the hint, the exploration vessel parked in the gas giant's orbit, discharged its core, and promptly fled the system.
Several weeks later, a Council fleet arrived to attempt to communicate--but were armed with Thanix cannons and multicore shielding, prepared for battle. Last time, the Reapers had made their intentions known by exposing Salarian interference, and kept to themselves. This time, the measures taken were not so subtle.
Reapers converged on the fleet, and broadcast a signal to every ship in the system: a single audio recording, containing a voice half the galaxy remembered.
Spectre Shepard to the Council. Commander Shepard to Alliance High Command.
I have a priority message: keep everyone the hell away from Psi Tophet.
I once said that the Reapers were the greatest threat this galaxy had ever seen. I lied. There are no resources to be found in this system, no garden worlds, no life. There is only a danger that will destroy us all if it gets free, and it does that by using you as a conduit. Stay the hell away.
Shepard out.
This was, predictably, received with chaos. It brought up more questions: was the recording real? How had the Reapers gotten it? What could possibly be more dangerous than the Reapers?
The recording was brought before its only surviving recipient (the Council to which the message had been sent had all perished when the Citadel was moved to Sol, on that fateful day ten years ago). Admiral Steven Hackett, now retired, confirmed the recording was genuine. The Admiral then threatened to come out of retirement "if that's what it takes for you to let Shepard save this galaxy again."
He refused to elaborate on just what the warning was about.
In an effort to gain clarity on the situation, Shepard's own colleagues were consulted. A messenger sent to Urdnot Wrex returned only with the advice to "do what she said, you brainless pyjaks." Sergeant Major James Vega repeated this opinion, and when pressed for details said, quote, "You don't wanna know, man. Don't ask." (He then muttered, "Can't believe I'm agreeing with a Reaper.")
The Grissom Academy instructor known only as "Jack" recommended taking Shepard's advice. Loudly. And with a far more colorful vocabulary.
Flight Lieutenant Jeff Moreau refused to comment. Several reporters that attempted to ambush him found all their technology suddenly hacked and/or inoperable.
The Quarian Conclave sent a single message, voiced by Tali'Zorah vas Rannoch nar Normandy: "Shepard was right. Don't go to Psi Tophet." The Geth Consensus sent the same. No further information was given.
Hierarchy General Garrus Vakarian repeated this opinion and remained tight-lipped on the nature of the threat, but allegedly met with the Primarch shortly after the news broke. The next day, all turian-crewed ships promptly exited the Psi Tophet system.
Honorary Matriarch Liara T'Soni, when asked, simply advised that Thessian leadership take Shepard's advice.
Intriguingly, known Shadow Broker agent Barla Von came before the Council and revealed that the Shadow Broker had had standing orders for all agents to avoid Psi Tophet at all costs for over ten years.
Only one person remained to be consulted, but it was not to be. The last of the Normandy's primary crew, Ashley Williams, had disappeared over five years ago and was presumed dead.
Until, after one week of tense Council debate, the second human Spectre climbed the stairs of the Tower and interrupted the Council mid-session.
Williams waited patiently. It took only thirty seconds for every person in the vicinity to register the sudden appearance of a long-dead Spectre, pull out a camera, and point it at her. (There was, after all, nothing politicians loved more than a spectacle.) The Citadel Tower, political hub of the entire galaxy, fell silent.
Williams fixed her eyes on the Council and spoke.
"Eleven years ago, I doubted Shepard," she began, voice neutral. But her eyes were dark with a grief that had long since crystallized into icy rage.
On the dais, a Councillor met her gaze, and flinched.
The Spectre continued. "I looked her in the eyes on Horizon, a god brought back from the dead, and I called her a traitor. And then so did everyone else."
Williams laughed humorlessly, the sound sending chills down her audience's spines. "Shepard wasn't a fucking traitor, she was trapped. She was making the best out of a terrible situation, trying to use Cerberus resources to make them do something actually fucking good for once. She went to the Collector base, and she did what Shepard does: she killed a fucking Reaper.
"Yeah, yeah, this is all super classified. The Collector abductions were Reaper-backed, shocker. I don't give a fuck, it's Shepard, what did you expect?
"Listen to what I am telling you: I doubted her, but Shepard was right. After that damn beacon exploded on Eden Prime and gave her crazy Prothean visions, she tried to warn the Council Saren had turned, and they ignored her, but she was fucking right."
Ashley Williams shook her head and closed her eyes. "And then she died, and everyone buried their heads in the sand, pretended Sovereign was a geth ship instead of facing reality. And then Shepard came back. She came back from the dead to warn us about the Reapers, again, and you know what we did? We called her crazy." Ashley laughed again, this time with clear derision. "And then she wiped out a whole fucking Batarian colony to stop them from invading, and we put her in jail, and then six months passed and suddenly, finally, everyone was forced to admit: Shepard was fucking right.
"If you all had fucking listened to her after the Citadel was attacked, maybe we wouldn't have lost half the population of Earth. Palaven. Thessia, Sur'Kesh, Irune. In case you all fucking forgot about that. Maybe the Batarians wouldn't be a fucking endangered species.
"Maybe Shepard wouldn't have had to sacrifice herself to save the fucking universe. Maybe she'd still be alive."
On the last word, Ashley's voice cracked. She closed her eyes, took a moment to gather herself. The silence in the Tower remained unbroken, the air deathly still. The Citadel held its breath in anticipation.
Ashley took a deep breath and gave the Council a measured gaze. "Look, my point is: nobody listened to Shepard when she was alive, and we paid for it when Saren attacked. Then we didn't listen when she warned us about the Collectors, and we paid for that with the lives of millions of human colonists. We didn't listen when she warned us about the invasion, she even gave us six extra months to prepare and we didn't, and we paid for that with trillions of innocent lives. Trillions!"
Ashley shook her head. "I don't know what the hell Shepard did to make the Reapers back off, but I can tell you this: The Reapers are guarding that planet for a damn good reason. And no, I'm not telling you what it is. For once in the history of this goddamned Council, take Shepard's advice. Trust the savior of the galaxy, don't ask questions, and leave it the fuck alone.
"We owe her that much."
One beat passed, then another. Ashley met each Councillor's gaze in turn, then nodded briskly, as if she'd found what she was looking for.
And with that, the second human Spectre turned on her heel and vanished into thin air.

general 1 and story 2 for ilu
(General) 1. Where can your Tav be recruited? Are they first encountered on the Nautiloid, or in the Nautiloid crash region? Or are they not recruitable until a later act?
Ilu would first be seen with the githyanki patrol at the mountain pass. She stands behind Voss as you speak to him, and in the middle of your conversation, your mind suddenly connects to hers. You see images of Ilu fighting for the prism Shadowheart carries, and she sees that your party possesses it. The connection ends, and although Ilu has a concerned look on her face, she remains silent.
If you end up fighting the patrol, Ilu actually becomes an ally in the encounter, as she and Voss share the same goal. She is a higher level enemy, far higher than you or the patrol, and the game clearly points towards you allying with her. Still, it is possible to kill her anyway, though that would prove to be difficult, as she is a Kith’rak. I imagine there would be a genre of videos dedicated to killing her with the most clickbaity titles imaginable. Lmao
She has a few voicelines that will trigger if you attack her, intentionally or not. After three direct attacks on her, she will turn hostile.
Note: her default class in game would be champion fighter, but her true, canon class is psi knight. I personally don’t really like eldritch knight gameplay too much for Ilu, which is unfortunate because I think the concept is really cool.
When the other patrol members are dead, Ilu begins a conversation with you, and tells you that she will meet you at the creche should you find yourself there. She departs in that direction. You will find her standing outside of the inner door to Y’llek. If you manage to exit the conversation with Voss peacefully, she leaves with the rest of the patrol, but will still be at the creche later.
Within the creche, Ilu becomes a limited companion, much like Jaheira can be in Moonrise Towers (pre-Illithid colony, of course). Her level is down scaled (so she can’t single-handedly decimate the Ch’r’a’i, lol) and she has limited abilities. If you leave the creche, she leaves your party, and remains there until you return.
Once W'wargaz is defeated, and after you have exited the prism, Ilu will open a portal to your camp. You may choose to enter it or remain in Y’llek, but Ilu will go through it regardless and will leave your active party in the process. “Do what you must, but make it quick. I will be waiting.”
Ilu wants no part in the further slaughter of the creche members, if you decide to go that route, but understands that the greater threat of the Absolute is more important than her emotions, so she won’t refuse to work with you. However, if you activate the weapon and destroy the monastery, she will berate you, scathingly, for your recklessness.
When you arrive at your camp, the events play out as they normally would– Voss hovers over you ominously, speaks with Lae’zel, and then leaves, assuming you don’t attack him. Ilu doesn’t get much of a spotlight in this cutscene, but afterwards, you can speak with her, and at this point she finally becomes a fully playable companion.
(Story Specific) 2. How do they advise the player character on Raphael?
Initially, Ilu tells you to pay no mind to the devil, as she knows that even entertaining him will lead to misfortune. This, of course, comes to bite her in the ass in the most personal way possible in Act 3.
While speaking with Voss and Raphael at Sharess’ Caress, Voss reveals to Ilu that he and Orpheus are her parents. This causes her to more or less short circuit for a moment, and once her thoughts are gathered, she becomes angry with him for hiding this truth for aeons, and for seemingly trying to use her and your party.
Ilu turns to you and tells you not to make the deal with Raphael, while Lae’zel tries to argue that you should. The choice is yours, and no matter which option you go with, once outside his room, Ilu will encourage you to find a way into the Hells so Raphael can be killed, regardless if you have the hammer already or not. You lose approval with her if you tell her that you won’t be doing that.
Afterwards, you can ask how Ilu is feeling (the answer: bad). She excuses herself from the party, and won’t return to your camp for two long rests.
When she returns, a cutscene will trigger where you sit with her by the campfire, and she opens up about her history with Voss. If you pass a persuasion check, you can find out that she spent the better part of the past two days sobbing alone in an inn room. “Thousands of years’ worth of tears were spilled.”
Voss is Ilu’s superior, her mentor, the man who saved her life when her creche was burned to the ground, and most importantly, an individual she has cared so deeply for her entire life. Her feelings are less about being the child of Orpheus, and more about feeling betrayed that Voss lied to her for so long. But ultimately, she understands that everything he did was to protect her. And he continues to do so as he fights Vlaakith’s forces to keep them away from his child.
At the end of the cutscene, Ilu mentions that they have spoken with each other and that she no longer feels the urge to repeatedly drive her sword through his abdomen. She doesn’t know how to deal with strong emotions very well.
