  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

    You are invited to the wedding of the First Talon of the Antivan Crows to Professor Emmrich Volkarin.

    Vignettes of Lucanis planning the best damn wedding for Emmrich that he can.

    Summary

    “I think it’s too late anyways. I think I’ve already painted you both on my heart. And I’m terrified.”

    Dana Laidir has never been one to deny herself the things she wants. Not after going from slavery to servitude to the well-intentioned but overbearing adolescent years in the care of her adoptive aunts and uncles. Not when she’s spent adulthood perfecting how to obtain the things or people she most desires. But what she finds herself wanting the most, who she finds herself wanting, is not so easy to obtain. It’s more than the fleeting lust or desire she’s familiar with, and she knows that should scare her.

    Summary

    Jobless in Antiva after finding himself in the middle of a fabricated scandal, Emmrich falls on hard times. He can't get another teaching position in Antiva, moving back to Nevarra would be a nightmare, and no one wants to hire someone his age. After months of not receiving a response to any of his applications, he's starting to lose hope and feel like a burden for taking up Bellara's guest room without being able to pay his share of the rent.

    Until a mysterious letter slips through the mail slot one stormy night, with nothing but his name written across the back in beautiful calligraphy and a purple wax seal on the front depicting a crow in flight, holding a dagger in one talon and a human skull in the other.

    Summary

    It's not insecurity. Rook knows that. Lucanis is asking because, at his heart, he wants to make everyone happy, and everyone starts with her.

    or

    After back to back runs romancing Lucanis and Emmrich, the author's brain reaches the logical conclusion: OT3.

    Summary

    Lucanis was once the best agent in all of Antiva.

    A name that made dictators quake, now reduced to a campus guard who kicked the coffee machine whenever it ate his coins. Each night he wandered the empty halls of Nevarran University, torch in hand, resigned to another dull shift with only the shadows, and Spite, for company. Until one night, a thin strip of light bled from beneath an office door.

    Professor Emmrich Volkarin, PhD. Parapsychology. Titles meant little to Lucanis, but staff hours were staff hours. He slipped a reminder note under the door and carried on, only to find, on his next loop, that the professor had left him a reply.
