Welcome!

I'm Dawn (she/her). I write fanfic, sometimes do fan art, and have a couple of fandom things I do. Important things to know are that I'm middle-aged, and am in remission from stage IV colon cancer (yay!). You'll see references to both thing in my tags and posts.

PLEASE feel absolutely free to tag me if you want me to reblog your writing, art, fandom event, etc. I am happy to help people share their work!

My AO3 works are here.

I never posted him here!

I went into origins completely blind on the romance options, but I was quickly swept off my feet by his antivan rizz, eventho I miss out on 80% of loot....

I will admit I haven't finished Origins yet because I'm stupid, and I just dont get the combat😭

Story wise, it was amazing, so I definitely will finish it. I currently have arrived at the deep roads!

Warframe threw a wrench in all my rpg plans🙈 I've been so obsessed with it I stopped playing all my other games, but I'm getting back to the games I started and never finished!

if u want to watch baseball but don't have a team to follow, just watch the milwaukee brewers. small market team with one of the lowest payrolls in the mlb and and fewest number of home runs and yet they're one of the top 5 teams in the league and play some of the purest, most feel-good small ball you will ever watch. no big egos and no team drama just a bunch of regular dudes playing good quality baseball and doing their part to contribute to the team whole. also we have racing sausages and a mascot who goes down a big yellow slide when we get a home run. what more could you possibly want. oh playoff performance? hey don't worry about it. I SAID DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
