summary: The Spectre simply ignores the panic as she begins to drown in old memories against her will. The hands of her past were at her throat to force her deeper down and swallow the truth. She had died that day, and so did they. warnings: ptsd, fire, blood, grief/loss, self-doubt, depression, femshep, shakarian wc: 2,687

It could be the color.

The brilliance of red, orange, and white. It is an elegant dance of destruction as it spreads like a virus. It consumes the world. Bit by bit. Devouring and leaving only a dying light in its wake and the blackness of the end. But she can't see the structure she stands within as it crumbles or the beautiful greenery beyond the platform. There are only the sparks of torn wiring and a damaged hull. A deep crimson staining the once pristine and shining metal palettes—dripping—spreading.

It could be the heat.

Zora was disgustingly humid. If it weren't for the regulators within the suit, she'd be standing in her sweat. Weighed down by the lack of energy as the air pulled every shred of water from her pores, draining her dry. But this was something different—this heat. It radiates from the shifting hues—pulsating and digging deep into the flesh without mercy, stealing your breath, and filling the empty spaces with its silent death. She can feel the quickening of her heart rate, thinking of the last time fire kissed her skin and what followed.

It could be the smell.

It's not long after the gunshot that it assaults her senses. It stings her eyes and claws at her nose. The smell of something horrid and putrid. She could only compare it to leather—to flesh as it reaches the sun's surface, scorched. The workers aren't there with them, their pain unseen and unheard. But, at her feet, all she finds are the bodies of good men and women who died in her name. It was just another day of searching through the galaxy in desperation. A cure for this oncoming plague known as Reapers—and it all ends in fire.

Her fist meets the side of his face without warning. Armored knuckles against his smug and prideful expression. He was ready for the hunt, and she was prepared to put him down. “Are you insane?” There's anger in the woman's tone—maybe a touch of disbelief. She had worked alongside every creature, from Rosetta to Aethon. Some good, others bad. But never one so willing to sacrifice the lives of others. The only crime they had been guilty of was being in the wrong place at the wrong time. 

“You're endangering lives—and the mission—for your own selfish revenge!”

“You really want to do this, Shepard?” Zaeed bites back. Finger eager on the trigger and ready to gain closure for his trauma, no matter the costs. No matter the civilians or his commander's life.

It could mean nothing at all, but Garrus doubts it. Her lips twist in a snarl as she turns her back on him, pretending not to care about the flames as they climb higher and spread further. It's all business with her. The Spectre simply ignores the panic as she begins to drown in old memories against her will. The hands of her past were at her throat to force her deeper down and swallow the truth.

She had died that day, and so did they.

A stern finger points, nearly jabbing at his plated chest, and the Turian can see it then—the mask. It’s the face of a woman burdened to save the galaxy. Placing herself high above little things like trauma and the night terrors she won’t speak of. However, if you listen closely, you can hear whimpered pleas for the pain to stop. Begging the heavens above for a moment of peace. But there was work to be done. No amount of tears could repair the damage in her mind.

“You were out of line! Now, thanks to you, I've got a burning refinery to save.”

Between the gunfire, he can see her squirming beneath the armor. Shaking out the tremors as the fear creeps in the hotter their surroundings become. It's starting to feel claustrophobic. Her body reacted without thought, sending out warning signs of an approaching doom. Her soul is suffocating by the grip of flickering light, and she can’t escape it.

But Shepard moves forward until the job is done and Zaeed is crushed under debris. He thinks for a moment that his commander—his new special something—was willing to leave the merc behind to rot like the people he condemned. He would have stood by her side as she abandoned him in the rubble. But it's no surprise that she lingers. She was putting her own troubles aside to reprimand a madman as he demanded her help despite spitting in her face. 

“How am I supposed to trust you?” She questions with a steady pace. The soldier focuses on the sound of her steps and the groan of agony on his tongue—the aggression. She was locked in on anything to douse the crack of fire whipping through the sky.

“I’ll do what I was goddamn paid to do!”

Sooner than Garrus would like, Zaeed is pulled from the fallen pillar, and the pair seem to come to an understanding. It's all too easy for his liking. Wishing he could shoot out the man's knees as punishment for being so careless and disrespectful to the woman between them. But her mind is elsewhere, and the Turian follows where she goes.

But he can only go so far.

He can't go there.

She's more quiet in the shuttle. Fingers interlocked as they hung between parted knees. After a mission, the space is typically filled with laughter or sarcastic remarks on poor aim or some other slipup. Sometimes a word or two was spared in kindness when things ended on a more sour, bloodied note. She's different this time. Lively eyes are now dark and empty, face expressionless as she falls further into the depths. That place he can't reach.

No matter how hard he tries.

Shepard is a silent storm the moment they settle back on the Normandy. The door slides open with a hiss, and she’s stepped from the platform before anyone even stands from their seats. Her body moves with ease, weaving through the maze of people she can't bear to look at. New faces smiling in place of where Charles Pressly once was. Hector Emerson, Addison Chase, Amina, Carlton—gone. The list of her fallen crew plays on a loop, plucking at old memories to piece together voices she was beginning to forget.

Garrus follows her.

He provides polite and hushed excuses as he aggressively brushes past the crew. Large hands cast them aside in desperation to simply touch the chill of her armor. But she was always steps ahead. Somehow predicting his shadow and the need to rescue her from a cell she had placed herself within. A prison of punishment and guilt. He watches with saddened eyes as Shepard slips away and stands alone in the elevator, focus cast downward as the doors close, separating the two. 

It could have been on purpose.

She could lock the cabin to spare her crew the destruction of what's meant to be the savior of the galaxy. The Reaper Killer—the hero. The woman who came back from the dead after her body was pulled and stitched back together by the manipulative hands of Cerberus. A soldier with a second chance, where others had been less fortunate. At least they would never know of what’s coming. This impending doom.

She's pacing again once she's isolated. Passing by the shimmering blue of a full aquarium and mindlessly kicking her discarded helmet across the floor. There's a silent war in her mind. Fighting against the tormented part of herself so she can continue on this journey without fear. Wars are not won with a broken resolve or a broken spirit.

It's a losing battle.

Her armor feels heavier and all too tight. It’s constricting and forcing the air from her lungs, threatening to crush her entirely. Her fingers act without thought, fumbling and trembling as they sloppily rip at the clasps to loosen the plating. Bit by bit, it begins to fall away with a crash at her feet, and yet it's not enough. Aching arms struggle to pull away the chest plate, unable to flip the latches. Shepard begins to panic.

Her feet are skating along the flooring, scuffing in her haste. She can feel the flicker of fire linger and flay her skin, digging deep through tissue and bone. It's hot enough to burn up the oxygen in her lungs, leaving her face red as she pushes her new modifications to the limit. But the desperation forces her to fumble and spin on her heels. For someone made of wires and machinery, Shepard feels painfully human. Her vision fills only with the black and speckled view of the galaxy as she drifts into nothingness—like she had done two years ago. Death was approaching, and she couldn’t stop it.

Blue eyes find her swept up in a fury of her own making. Eyes clenched shut, expression full of agony with gritted teeth. Shepard can't see the Turian, but knows he's there by instinct, calling out his name blindly. 

“I can't get—I can't-”

Garrus is quick to jump into action. Dismissing the shock of seeing someone he cared for so deeply unsettled, and unlike anything she offers up for the public eye. Shepard was only a woman placed high on the pedestal when some days she preferred to be forgotten. In the quiet of the ship when all others have gone for rest, he can faintly hear the murmurs of self-doubt and questioning. “Why didn’t Liara leave me behind?” 

He pries her hands away from her suit with force, and she fights back out of fear. The pair was equally desperate to pull her corpse from the fire, breathing life into her soul again. It's frustrating and clumsy. Fingers jamming into one another while he continues to swat her hands away, but she doesn't seem to understand in the madness. First come the gauntlets, falling to their feet in a pile.

“I can't breathe. Garrus, I can't-”

Her cheeks are dampened by fresh tears, and though the site breaks his heart into two, he can't pause to give comfort. Instead, her trembling words encourage him to move faster. Long talons worked diligently to undo the clasps, leaving the chest plate to fall with a loud thud. Her hands are finally still, and her torso expands with relief, yet her mind is elsewhere. The endless expanse of space filled with pieces of the SSV Normandy, drifting aimlessly.

Neither of them realizes she’s moving. Working on autopilot to escape the fire she felt kiss along her scarred flesh, with him effortlessly chasing after her to pull at the armor. The backs of her knees meet the edge of the bed with force, and she stumbles back into it, lying flat with attention on the window above, providing a once beautiful view of a universe well-traveled. Now, those twinkling stars remind her of something more grim. Bodies—the bodies of her friends. Lifeless and cast out into the abyss. They stare back at Shepard, gaining distance as gravity pulls her into orbit, all shifting to darkness shortly after.

“I failed,” Shepard states in a whisper, and the force against her legs stills momentarily, drinking in her grief like a poison and sharing in her agony. He begins to undress her again with hurried fingers, waiting for a sign of relief that never comes. Her eyes simply close to block out the light, but all she can see are the smiles of friends now gone and the families they’ve left behind. Teeth clamp onto a trembling lip, holding back the sobs that ache and beg to wreak havoc over her exhausted body.

Shepard is so lost in it that she doesn’t register the dip of the mattress as a familiar figure joins her. It only sinks in when his chilled skin reaches out to touch her fire, dousing the flames enough for her body to still. Goosebumps travel along her skin, mindlessly leaning into the palm that caresses her cheek, brushing away her sorrow.

She sees an ocean before her. His eyes are full of glistening light, endless and serene. She can’t help but raise a weakened arm, fingers tracing along the scars of Archangel. There had been such joy—such momentary bliss—in their reunion before he dropped to her feet, lifeless. Knowing she could have lost him then was torment enough. Shepard wasn’t entirely sure she could survive it a second time.

“I don’t want t’fail you.”

Her partner seems to deflate at the sound of her inner torment. Envisioning the horrors that play out in her mind on a near-constant loop—a painful similarity to his own. The loss of the ones you trusted—your friends, allies—maybe even family. And they entrusted you with their safety—their life, and it all ends in blood and loneliness in the vacuum of space.

But they weren’t alone anymore.

Elongated fingers reach to entangle with hers, hoping to soothe and comfort. A reminder that through all of the battles, aching hearts, and broken bones—he was still with her. He was still here. “When you found me on the Citadel,” he begins with a low tone. “I had pictured hundreds of different scenarios—what we would be up against. Fighting Geth, finding Vigil and Sovereign—who would be crazy enough to take it all on? One hit after the next?”

Shepard doesn’t speak, hiding the quiver of her lip between clamped teeth, struggling to will away the sadness. Garrus becomes a hazy vision in tired eyes, letting them close to instead focus on his touch—his voice as it speaks nothing but kindness. Something she never spared a moment of for herself as she worked this mechanical body to death.

“I’ve seen failure, and you don’t fit the description. You died just to do what was right. You saved them-”

“I didn’t save everyone,” she states in a weakened whisper.

“You can’t save everyone, Rae. But that doesn’t make you a failure. It doesn’t make you less.” He eases away her touch with care, cradling her hand as though she were made of glass to instead rest their entwined fingers against the center of her chest. No matter the amount of modifications, the real woman he loved was still there. Full of warmth and a beating heart—though aching. Proof of her humanity and every flaw and perfection that came with it. “It’s what you strive for that matters—what you live for. Hell, this moment proves what kind of person you are. You’re grieving over their loss and for your own.”

Her body stills, drinking in his words slowly—hesitantly. Part of her doesn’t want to believe she deserves the grace he provides. Families were now hollow and incomplete—left unfinished. Or there had been a stray soul that wandered into the Alliance, looking for their purpose with nothing to hold them back. Their existence is unknown to all others outside of the Normandy, making Shepard one of the few to carry on their name—to honor them.

With a heavy sigh, her head lolls to the side, immediately held in a trance by the crystal clear aquarium and the many colors that flickered across the glass. Garrus had once considered the idea of pet fish—calling them useless. As time passed, he had studied humanity. Maybe it was simple curiosity; maybe it was a newfound admiration of his commander, but he insisted their purpose could be calming and how right he had been.

“D’you think they’ll forgive me?” She mumbles. The woman is unaware of just how tightly she clings to him. Her knuckles paled from the grip, though he barely seemed to notice or care.

With the other arm embedded into the bed for support, his free hand maneuvers to come through sweat-matted hair. Brushing away the tangles with care and finding his heart soften at the sight of relaxation soon drifting over her features. A soldier's hold begins to loosen until she’s pliable, with eyes once more fallen shut. Though now, there’s a noticeable lack of wrinkles from a furrowed brow. There’s no sadness or frustration in the darkness—only peace in his embrace. “There’s nothing to forgive.”

Sorry, but for this entry I must recycle one of my old post published on my main tumblr, 'cause I think this fits more for the topic.

So... there you go!

N7 Month: DAY #04 - Date

Our first date, on the Normandy.

You were so nervous... So sweet...

But we didn't need any word. Just us.

🎧

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me. / There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me. / The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall. / You say it best, when you say nothing at all.

[branwenaesthetic]

Victoria Fidelma Shepard: spacer, sole survivor, sentinel (oriented as a medic), Garrus’ lover, Siobhan’s younger sister. 80% paragon, 20% renegade. She has a degree in Medicine, she is a Medical Officer.

Victoria likes being called Vicky, it’s shorter and faster, and it works for her.

Vicky is a little short, with a shapely figure; at first glance, she seems instead large but nevertheless charming, in the opposite way Siobhan, her elder sister, is.

Her plump face, with her defined full lips and her kind attitude, makes people think she is an easy-going girl and, above all, a loose girl. Her appearance is very very misleading.

Born in space, her biggest dream was being a doctor, without following her parents’ steps into Alliance or Siobhan’s example and her mother was disappointed with Vicky’s decision. She always loved studying and her ethics clashes with soldiers’ life, a person who can kill someone at any moment.  

Later Vicky decided join the Alliance and N7 program because she (justly) thought she could have the best instruction even in medical subjects. The other reason is that if she was in the Alliance she could stay next to her sister and protect her as a doctor and as a “guardian angel”. Siobhan is the person Vicky treasures most and her nickname (given by her sister) is Angel. This nickname has two meanings because she can be an angel of mercy as a doctor to the innocents and an angel of death with her enemies and above all with people who hurt Vicky’s dear ones.

She clashes a lot with Hannah Shepard, they don’t get along very well because she demanded a “Siobhan 2.0” and only Siobhan can take her on the side of reason. Vicky doesn’t hate her sister because she knows she will be always at her side, supporting and loving her.

She believes in justice, peace and self-determination and she always tries doing what is right and just. She follows the rules, but she can have doubts about their validity and honesty. But she is hot-headed, she wants to do the right thing for the greater good and when her intuition says something and she acts instinctively.

Akuze events changed a lot Vicky. She considers herself unworthy of being alive, she is sad for the loss of her team, she thinks she didn’t do anything to save them and she is a failure as a doctor, as a soldier and as a person. This event influenced her optimism towards life, having nightmares, overthinking much more than her usual attitude. She finds difficult forgiving herself. Having everybody alive after the Suicide Mission gave her a little hope.

Vicky is brash, bold, fiery and passionate, she is a perfectionist and this may be a paradox with her job as a doctor and as a sentinel because she doesn’t seem able to be a good support party member, but she gets the job done because she is kind and selfless and helping people is her first thought, always. She protects her party by all means, especially Siobhan. Vicky prefers using biotic powers instead weapons; she likes using pistols, assault rifles, but mostly sniper rifles because her sentinel style is from the distance.

Vicky has a sarcastic and witty sense of humour; she is very competitive too, but she will never harm someone or cheat to win. With her attitude and her incomprehensions with her mother she found a sort of “mirror she reflect into” in Garrus. She always treated him like a peer, not a subordinate. They share the same stick-in-the-ass attitude which, at the first time, made them suspicious of the other person, but it lasted not so long.

They become friends very quickly and she started feeling something more for him before the events of ME2. After Project Lazarus success, she had a second chance meeting Garrus again and she decided to drive away the fear of refusal and made a pass to him. Garrus’ intelligence was the first thing she made Vicky think they could be friends and after their friendship something more. His voice and eyes really turns her on.

She listens mostly to every genre of rock and metal, with a particular guilty pleasure for club/disco music because “every metalhead has a thug spot”, she says. Vicky shares the passion for singing with her sister and in her spare time she likes reading and watching movies. Her favorite color is red.

She considers herself atheist and she respects people, regardless of faith, ethnicity, personal private behaviour or species. Aliens and human are on the same level for her. She is potentially bi and this trait doesn’t collide with her demi-(sexual and romantic) essence. She swears and blasphemes but only if she is very, very angry as a way of saying, to underline her anger.

Vicky is very reserved, but not with her friends. She loves all of her team mates and they are her family. Tali, Jack, Liara and Samantha are for her little sisters, Grunt and James like her children, Kasumi is like a fairy godmother, Zaeed and Wrex like two uncles, and her best friend is Miranda (if we don’t consider Siobhan) with whom she shares the expectations from their parents. She misses a lot Ashley. Being a doctor she loved spending time with Mordin in lab doing experiments together and discussing about medical subjects and ethics.

*Headcanon: if Vicky is the Commander her sister will help her on the Normandy and she will be her additional team mate; they are very close, best friends and soulmates (in a fraternal way, of course). If Vicky is instead the additional team mate she will be advise her sister if required or in private, but never oversteps the Commander authority in public.

Event Horizon || Garrus Vakarian x FemShep

read it on the AO3 at https://ift.tt/3vYTEE2

by Catta1996

Not more than a month after defeating Sovereign on the Citadel, Garrus Vakarian finds himself parting ways with the Normandy - and her commander - in order to pursue an offer he received from connections within C-Sec. A week after that, and he discovers that Commander Shepard - his closest friend, mentor, and inspiration - was killed, and the Normandy lost.

As he attempts to hold himself together, believing that he could have saved her should he have stayed, Cerberus busies itself recovering what pieces of the Commander remain: The Illusive Man's plan rolls into motion, unaware that he is toying with the life and soul of a woman much stronger than he could have ever believed...

dragon age + mass effect

hi and welcome. as you might’ve noticed from the title, this is a one on one search for the bioware video game series dragon age and mass effect. if you’re not looking for either of those, this may be the wrong search for you.

i am

over 20 active literate / lazy literate / advanced / idk tired

looking for partners who are

18 + literate / whatever active

i prefer to roleplay over email but i’m open to using gdocs and discord.

i won’t enforce word limits but just to give you an idea my intros are usually 800-1200 words for each character and my replies are usually around 400-700 words. right now i’m not really interested in going over this estimate but i’m not going to stop you from writing however much you want.

if you’re a person who can only get out one reply every two weeks or less i don’t think we’ll click. consistently waiting multiple weeks for a reply makes the roleplay feel sluggish and typically makes me lose interest. i completely understand when things come up and my partner either needs to take a hiatus or replies come a little more slowly for a while but typically i would like to get at least one response per week. in general you can expect the same from me, and probably more depending on what's going on.

i enjoy doubling but i don’t require it. i play all genders and all ships when doubling but one of my mains will typically be a female oc. i lean toward mf for my “side”, but open to any ship for my partner.

my limits include: noncon, dubcon, shipping between adults and minors, bizarre kinks, fetishized abuse, incest, and basically anything else common sense should tell you is a no. besides that, i’m comfortable with mature themes. please let me know your limits/triggers/anything i need to know before we get started and i’ll happily respect them.

i have played all three dragon age games and all of the dlc and the original mass effect trilogy and some of the dlc. since these universes are so big, i’ll make things easy: i will play any canon character from any of the games. in return i would like to play against cullen, alistair, or anders for dragon age, and kaidan or garrus for mass effect.

i also love love love oc x oc in these worlds, particularly in the inquisition and reaper war timelines. there’s so much going on and i really wanna explore more of the on-the-ground action, y'know? if we’re doing oc x oc, feel free to make fc requests and stuff.

let me leave things here because everything else is just stuff we can figure out together. if you want to get in touch send me an email (odiinsons@gmail.com; we can exchange discord #’s from there if you want) and tell me what character(s) you want me to play and what character(s) you would like to play plus any ideas, cravings, etc that you have!

thanks for dropping by and hopefully hear from you soon.

Salt meme: 21-23

21. What are your thoughts on crack ships? 

My thoughts vary greatly depending on the crack ship. Sometimes I shrug my shoulders and go “eh okay, whatever”. Sometimes they’re fun and interesting and either get me on board with it as a fun thing to think about or even something I’m fully on board with. Sometimes they require twisting characterization and logic to make it work, which doesn’t work for me. Usually they’re at least fun, though.

22. Popular character you hate?

Less hate and more “am tired of seeing over and over”. For SWTOR, pretty much all of the select few popular characters have worn out their welcome for me to some extent, other than Vector (although I may not be following the Vector spammers to make me feel that way about him too!). My feelings on them range from “meh enough already” to “Begone!”, depending on my mood and the character

I’m pretty tired of Garrus from Mass Effect, because of both nasty shippers and Bioware (I like him, but his presence in the fandom is overwhelming, so I prefer dealing with him via small doses from mutuals). Like I’ve mentioned in other replies, a lot of times it comes down to being tired of seeing the same 4-5 characters over and over again while 90% of them are ignored.

Of characters I actually hate? Hux from The Force Awakens. I disliked him on my own and discovering his rabid fandom, uh, enhanced my negative feelings about him and the First Order in general. I kind of can’t stand the Junior Varsity Empire in general, though, and hope the whole band of space fascists goes down in flames. From ASOIAF/GOT - I think Stannis is a very interesting character but he has a rabid and unpleasant fandom that sucked all my interest in the character and turned me against him (I hope he beats the Boltons in the books and then is gone).

Actually since I am feeling salty so I’ll throw in one more

Malgus. No he isn’t progressive. No he isn’t moving the Empire forward (sorry, but being open to using aliens as cannon fodder for galactic domination doesn’t do it for me). No, his relationship with Eleena isn’t romantic or healthy or something worth emulating. And the tragedy of him killing her was the fact she died because of his insecurities and the general shittiness of the Sith, not that pure Darth Wooby had to kill the love of his life. I hope he rots forever and never comes back.

23. Unpopular character you love?

I sort of covered this with this reply but for some specifics

SWTOR: Basically any of the female companions but I especially love Elara and Kira. I wish Felix was more popular as well but, well… Also Garza and Ardun Kothe as secondary characters

Mass Effect: Ashley. I was going to say Jacob but his ME3 arc is so abysmal it poisons any goodwill from ME2 (which had its own problems). 

Dragon Age: Bethany (liked but not really popular per se), Blackwall, Anora, Nathaniel Howe, Sigrun, Sebastian. In terms of minor characters, I like Cauthrien in Origins.

ASOIAF/GOT: Catelyn Stark, Edmure Tully

X-Files: I actually really liked Doggett a lot. I thought Robert Patrick did a really good job with his material and fleshed the character out well.

Condensed Ship List

I am making a comprehensive list of all the ships I ship with all the fandoms I am in.  I will typically write for these pairings, as well. There are some ships I will never get behind, at all.  Those are fairly straight forward.  I won’t ever get behind a pairing that makes a gay character bi or straight without ANY canon evidence to back it up.  Example: Gil x SisRyder.  I also will not ship underage characters with adult characters.  Nope.  XXXXXX Never gonna happen.  Now I’m not comfortable with the whole tentacle thing from hentai, but I could give it a darn good try so long as it’s not an underage character.  

I’m putting the fandoms and ships under the cut cause it’s long and extensive.  I’ll probably write for these pairings.  If it’s a video game protagonist and there is only a family name (like Ryder/Shepard) I usually just insert generic first names.  Unless I want to use my character.

Mostly this is just for my reference too.

Fandoms

Sailor Moon/Sailor Moon Crystal (I warned you I was old)

Usagi/Mamoru Inner Scouts/Knights

Fairy Tail

Nalu Gruvia Gajevy Mira/Laxus Laxus/Freed Evergreen/Elfmann Lucy/Grey Gajeel/Juvia (strictly as a friends ship, I want this to be my brotp) Leon/Juvia (a guilty pleasure ship) Jerza Erza/Mira (so sue me)

Yuri on Ice!!!

Yuri Katsuki/Viktor Emile/Michele Chris/Viktor (before Viktor meets Yuri of course)

Fallout 4

Sole Survivor/Preston Sole Survivor/Danse Sole Survivor/Piper Sole Survivor/Cait Sole Survivor/Hancock Sole Survivor/Deacon Sole Survivor/Sturges Preston/Sturges (Haven’t played NukaWorld so I’m neutral on Gage as a potential romance partner)

Skyrim

Dragonborn/any romanceable Companion Dragonborn/Brynjolf (his accent) Dragonborn/Ormund Dragonborn/Ysolda Dragonborn/Carlotta Dragonborn/Vex Dragonborn/Mercurio I’m open as long as I know the NPC/companion

Dragon Age: Origins

F!Warden (any origin)/Alistair Warden(M/F)/Zevran M!Warden/Morrigan Warden (M/F)/Lelianna (though I lean more towards F!Warden with her)

Dragon Age II

I ship them all.  M/F Hawke with all romanceable companions.

Dragon Age Inquisition

F!Inquisitor/Cullen (I like headcanon that a Qunari Inquisitor can bring Cullen around eventually but I’ve been reluctant to write it) Inquisitor/Iron Bull F!Lavellan/Solas (the angst, oh dear divines, the angst) Inquisitor/Josie F!Qunari/Sera (just my OTP, I’m open to other female Inquisitors) F!Inquisitor/Blackwall M!Inquisitor/Cassandra (my OTP is human Inquisitor, but as always, I’m open to all races) Inquisitor/Harding M!Inquisitor/Dorian F!Inquisitor/Dorian (AS my BROTP for Inqusiition, imagine the gossip that could go down with Trevelyan)

Witcher ½/3

Geralt/Yennifer Geralt/Triss

Final Fantasy VII (This is the only one I truly have a decent grasp of the personalities for)

Cloud/Tifa Aerith/Zack

RWBY (I won’t write smut for this fandom unless it involves the adult characters.  Call it a character flaw but they are considered underage in their universe)

Yang/Blake Ruby/Weiss Weiss/Blake Qrow/Winter Blake/Sun Ruby/Sun Neptune/Sun Neptune/Weiss (as a non-toxic relationship)

D&D/Pathfinder (I am completely open to this fandom, any pairing that can physically work will get a chance)

My BROTP is my PCs. Mira (human cleric of Calistria the goddess of lust, vengeance, and trickery) and Poppi (my gnome alchemist that specializes in bombs).  They have so many shenanigans that I am tempted to write short stories about their adventures.                *They’re wanted in one city because Poppi accidentally created the wrong potion for the mayor and put him into a coma.  Mira wasn’t high enough level to reverse the effects.  So they got the hell out of Dodge.
