Cora: so wait — this is all STOLEN?

Reyes: of course

Cora: why would you steal hundreds of boxes of GRANOLA BARS?

Reyes: they’re Scott’s favorites

Cora:

Reyes: and once they’re gone, that’s it. No more Earth granola bars

Cora:

Reyes: just because my acts of service involve copious amounts of thievery and bribery doesn’t make it a less valid love language, Harper

Decided it was time to try to stir up my stubbornly silent writing muses again with some art and @dr-vauclair-art was willing to help with another pair of ME(A)/WWII pictures. Here are Flight Lieutenant Scott Ryder and Reyes Vidal from my On A Wing And A Prayer series! They look FABULOUS!!! Thank you again, my friend! You have such magic in your hands! <3

List your 10 favorite characters from 10 different Fandoms, then tag 10 people!

Tagged by the ever-awesome @sarnakhwritesthings Thanks so much! 💖

I decided to do video game fandoms, just to change things up a bit. In alphabetical order by fandom just 'cause. 😉

Karlach, Baldur's Gate 3 (Wait, did I just sneak Astarion into here? Yes, yes, I did. Please anticipate that I will stretch the whole 10 favs from 10 different fandoms as faaaaaar as I can. 🤷‍♀️😂)

Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (And there's Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish, funny how that worked out, hm? 😇)

Frank West, Dead Rising (Also starring Ms. Leah Stein... 💖)

Kara, Detroit: Become Human (With bonus Alice and Luther, filling out my precious little android family! I also want to note that technically Connor and Hank along with Markus, Simon and North all tied for this spot. But I thought it might be pressing it just a bit too much to have 8 people all crammed into the "1 character" spot. See? Restraint, I has it! *coughcough* 😂😉)

Nyx Ulric, Final Fantasy XV: Kingsglaive (Yeah, so technically Kingsglaive is a movie not a game but it's in support of a game so that's close enough for me. Also, hello to the lovely Lunafreya Nox Fleuret. *waves Lunyx shipper flag liek woah*)

Master Chief John-117, Halo (And Cortana, my bestest girl! *smushes her together into a happily ever after with John* That's totally how they ended up in the video game series, don't let anybody tell you differently! *fist thump* 😇😉)

The Ryder twins, Mass Effect: Andromeda (Sara Ryder x Reyes Vidal is liiiiiiife to me! And I didn't have a Scott Ryder x Gil Brodie GIF so I just went full on and linked you to the vid I made. No, no, it was my pleasure, really. 😇😇😇😉 Sara x Vetra Nyx and Scott x Cora Harper also belong here. You know, in the 1 single character ONLY spot. *nodnods in I do what I want, Thor* 😂🤷‍♀️)

Quiet, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (Hello, Mr. Snake, sir, you're looking very well and TOTES not shippy here in this spot on my list, ahem! 😁😉)

Lady Alcina Dimitrescu, Resident Evil: Village (Wow, Karl Heisenberg, how completely unexpected of you to be in this GIF, too! *shocked Pikachu face* 😂😉)

Cal Kestis, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order/Survivor (Merrin, my love! *sighs in fangirly shipperliness* "Shipperliness" is totally a word, too. Add it to your vocabulary today and impress all your friends! 😊😉)

No pressure tags: @officialnighttime @ionlymadethissoicouldleaveanask @helix-enterprises117 @jemmalynette @ghostslillady @morganas-pendragons @jellotherelol @fandomdancer @authorjones @thefuzzybat and anybody else who might like to do this! *boops your nose politely* 🤗💖

Bc I have Reyes Vidal brainrot, I listened to "I'd rather take my whiskey neat" and immediately thought of the scene where you first meet him, so needless to say I'm now writing a fucking Reyder songfic for Too Sweet.

I’m a little bit obsessed with them (I’ll post the full drawing soon but the meme has to be first)

Whumptober Day 1: Race Against the Clock (ME:A Reyes/mRyder)

Ryder pushed the Nomad as much as he dared, not wanting to bust an axle or destroy the only means of transportation on this god-forsaken planet but wanting to get to the location beacon as fast as he could; all the while, aware of how much time had passed since Ryder had been told that Reyes had gone missing.

The distress signal had reached Keema five minutes after being activated and Keema contacting the Tempest ten minutes after that. But Ryder had been unreachable for half a day, the downside of going deep into Meridian where all the Remnant technology made it hard for their comms to keep a signal. Only when he'd surfaced was SAM able to tell him what was going on, and he'd wanted to take off right away, but coming up with a plausible reason to head to Kadara had taken time.

Between convincing Tann to let him go and getting everyone back onto the ship had been more time burned, now he was bouncing through the Badlands hoping, hoping that he wasn't too late.

Approaching the location of the distress signal, Ryder.

SAM's AI voice in his eat snapped Ryder out of his thoughts as the Nomad crested the hill and sailed over the top, bouncing a bit harder than normal as it landed. Ryder wrenched the wheel so the rover went off the path and jostled over the small rocks as it drew closer to the mouth of the cave. Sliding to a stop, Ryder did a quick weapons check before all but jumping out and pulling his pistol, crouch walking towards the cave.

"SAM update." he whispered while pausing only to open his omni-tool to scan for lifeforms.

There is no one in the cave.

"What the fuck, I thought you said the locator beacon was coming from here."

It is still transmitting from this location. But there are no bio signs inside the cave.

Ryder's heart leapt into his throat as he rushed into the cave, pistol outstretched and ready to use in-case whomever had taken Reyes were using some kind of cloaking technology. But it soon became clear that SAM had been right, there was no one in the cave.

Entering the small pre-fab unit that was set up, he paused for a second to look around for any helpful clues. Spotting blood on the floor, he crouched and saw that it was still fresh looking, the small locator beacon in the middle of the small pool of blood. Sighing as he picked it up with gloved hands, Ryder straightened and saw that there was a datapad on the shelf. Mentally crossing his fingers that it was unlocked, Ryder woke it up but froze at the message that was on the screen.

You have twenty minutes Pathfinder. We know how much Vidal means to you. 37.7393N 10.333E

"SAM, input coordinates and transmit to my HUD." Ryder snapped, breaking into a run back the way he'd come. He had no idea how long ago that had been written and the time might have already expired.

Skittering to a stop, he paused only long enough to strap himself in before gunning the Nomad north of the cave.

He had to rescue Reyes in time, he had to.

WIP...Tuesday

Tagged by @bluerose5 - many thanks! I couldn't figure out how to do just a few sentences of this latest chunk so...here's the whole chunk!

From the latest chapter of my mreyder long fic that I haven't updated in a million years:

----

"Do you think he knows anything?"

Reyes watched as Scott paced back and forth across the breadth of the Pathfinder's quarters on the Tempest, contemplating both the other man's question and the implications of his little…chat, with Tann.

Was it possible Tann knew more than he seemed to about Kadara, and how the Port's change of authority had come about? Maybe, maybe not. Nothing concrete, or he'd've laid out more than hints in an attempt to keep Scott in line. Reyes wasn't sure it mattered, in any case, at least insofar as the Port itself went. Keema was the primary figurehead, and while Reyes retained some modicum of control over the decisions that came their way there was no denying that it was a partnership and a limited one at that. Him in the shadows, her in the light, just as they'd planned, even if power had shifted more into her court than his these days.

"There isn't much he can do even if he did," Reyes replied at length. "And that's a big if." He shifted, lying back on Scott's bed with his hands folded behind his head. "At least not to Kadara. I'm more concerned that he's trying to goad you, if that's what he was even trying to do."

Scott scoffed, glancing over at him and cocking an eyebrow. "Pretty sure he and I have been goading each other since the moment we met."

"True," Reyes conceded. "But I don't think he anticipated then what he knows now -- that you're a bigger influence than he imagined."

"How surprising can that really be, though? He's the one who set me up for what's basically hero-worship, with his little public displays and that hall to my accomplishments. What the fuck did he think would happen?"

"Probably that flattery would work on you, make you…amenable. Grateful, even." A small smile twitched at Reyes's lips. "Maybe he figured you'd be more like Harper -- a good, earnest little soldier."

Scott snorted. "Don't let Cora hear you call her that."

Reyes shrugged, unbothered. "No cause to call her as such now, though I imagine her reputation continues to precede her." His grin widened. "Some might say you've been a bad influence on her, Ryder."

"Hardly," Scott countered, but he was smiling a little now, some of the tension bleeding out of his shoulders. He turned and stalked back towards Reyes and the Charlatan didn't hesitate to shift, spreading his legs to give his partner room to settle between them. "She always had a fire in her. Just… needed some encouragement to let it out."

"And you're nothing if not encouraging, mi amor."

"Exactly!"

----

Tagging let's see... @illusivesoul @pastelroyce @aleiocus @theoriginalladya and anyone else who wants to participate! No pressure as always

[aymayzing]

I do think that Ryder should have the option to break up with Reyes in the cave and then get back together with him after a while and that's definitely what my Scott does but

There's something beautiful about this scene where Reyes is just looking at Ryder with puppy eyes trying to convey "please please don't give up on me I want to be good enough for you I know I am not but I can try to be I just need you to give me a chance just one more I won't let you down this time I swear" and Ryder's male VA just says "Nothing's changed" so softly

[yuko27]

Dance scenes. And I failed to draw Reyes g-suits this time

[ageless-aislynn]

Yay, I finished Scott and Peebee's romance, just Scott/Jaal to go and I'll have completed my goal of trying out every romance option in Mass Effect: Andromeda! 🥳🎉

But I, um, backed up to where we landed the first time on Kadara so Scott and I could, wellllll... So we could

Awwwww yeahhhhh, that was my expression, too, Scott! Yep. I literally clicked that trigger faster than any other in the game, except maybe for...

Ahem. Now, onward to Jaal! (Sorry for the detour, babe, you know I can't resist Reyes. I might, er, also be doing a little bit of very light flirting with Gil, too. As one does, you know.)

Jaal: ...the absolute heck? :(

Me and Scott: We just have so much love to give. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍��️
