  1. Summary

    This story starts in the wrong place. Stories are supposed to have a beginning, the hero should win the day, collecting a heart in the process. Reality is rarely so kind. Those stories carve out a hundred sleepless nights in their wake, aching, tormenting to those who were there. The Hero of Ferelden, the Champion, the Inquisitor. Their stories are brilliant. But at what cost?

    Various stories about my Valeria Amell, Moira Hawke and Maggie Trevelyan.

  2. Summary

    A collection of fics about my Togruta smuggler, her Pureblood (jedi consular) brother, and how they end up as the Outlanders in Zakuul. Basically, I've said 'fuck it' to the overall timeline. WIP, will be updated as time allows.

  3. Summary

    Anything that fits with my Twi'lek warrior and my Zabrak inquisitor will go here, and not necessarily in chronological order. Some drama, but mostly tooth rotting fluff.

  4. Summary

    Short, fluffy AU reunions of my SWTOR characters and their love interests, as prompted on Tumblr. None of these are canon for KOTFE, or my own series.

    Summary

    Oh, how much can change in four months.

    There, bent over Caterina’s bedside, a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles slipping down the bridge of his nose, is Emmrich. He looks up at the sound of the door, those bright hazel eyes reflecting nearby candlelight. Surprise widens his gaze, but in an instant, as recognition takes hold, every feature softens. He smiles for Lucanis and it’s so good to see that Lucanis’ knees grow watery beneath his weight, threatening to give out entirely. He could weep for relief at the sight. That near-need to collapse morphs quickly into something else as Lucanis’ leg muscles twitch, convulsing with a sudden urge to run toward Emmrich, a jerky start and stop motion, a single, stumbling step. His heart leaps and Lucanis suddenly can’t breathe.

    Summary

    The thing about the Veilguard was the need for trust.

    Lucanis had been raised to trust no one and question every action against him. Emmrich had learned that trust was a precious thing to give and receive in turn. Spite isn't so sure about what any of that means yet.

    Rook is just trying to keep herself and everyone else together.

    A character study/romance between an assassin, a spirit, and a necromancer, told through their eyes along with the leader of the Veilguard.

    Summary

    A year has passed since Sabine “Rook” Ingellvar saved the world, she has the love of a dashing Necromancer, and today is her birthday. Lucanis Dellamorte is throwing his best friend a ball and everything must be perfect: the decorations, the food, and most importantly— their gift.

    Or: A totally self indulgent exploration of several niche interests and the Sex Pollen trope (because how else are they supposed to talk about their feelings).
