hiiii i was busy with. stuff. like an exchange that i will definitely remember to post the link for.

finally wrapping up the pragia arc! in which shepard talks to an AI about grief and emotions, miranda puts her foot in her mouth, we learn a little more about project charon and the horrors its members were subjected to, and maybe jack's going to be okay, after all.

it’s probably time for me to add the shepard/jack tag, huh

this chapter hurt me and now im inflicting it on everyone else

meant to have this up sooner but i had to pause for like a week and get my shitty toxic boss fired <3 and also yknow it was. very hard to write, emotionally

in which the gang continues through teltin. jack does not enjoy the experience, and especially not the extra bonus experiences she’s having on top of it.

Mass Effect, NoisyNoiverns

shepard and co are off to pragia! in the meantime, we hop back to the citadel to see how xenopolitics are going (problems) and what avitus has been up to (worse problems), and sparatus really just wants to go for drinks at the pub but the emails keep finding him.

or,

[lieutenantabrudas]

i wrote this one in another frenzy don’t look at me if you think this is bizarro behavior just wait a couple chapters

in which shep and co rendezvous with jack and dirzhal, we learn a bit more (less scornful) information about ardat-yakshi, jack has some old familiar unhappy feelings, and garrus finally calls tasora back to confirm he’s not dead.

chapter title comes from the song “vagueness of faith” by chris harms. listen to the whole album it’s soooo good and chris harms is extremely gender for me specifically

see i’m still alive. original verse ideas still got me by the throat lads. also the oblivion remaster now. this will happen again. if it is any consolation this chapter was sitting at 500 words for like 2 months and then yesterday i sat down and slammed out the entire rest of it in a fugue state so there’s that

in which miranda steals some data, a few hollywood cheat codes are utilized, and shepard proves they are in fact learning from their mentor, to everyone else’s distress.

hey look i’m still alive and working on this. brain has just been really obsessed with original verse stuff for like 3 months. sorry.

in which shepard, garrus, and miranda infiltrate a cerberus shell company looking for data, we get a bit more detail on justicars and why one might be in the area, and the author doesn’t try to hide their anti-capitalism in the slightest.

It's only been a year since Shanxi, humanity is still trying to get a foot in the door, and now the entire plan for getting an embassy's been thrown off by a chance rescheduling. On an impulse, she takes a break to sit in the park across the way and clear her head, but even there, she can't be alone. The turian she shares a bench with seems nice enough, but the longer they talk, the worse the day seems to be...

i’ll update my multi-chapters when i’m good and ready okay

this is @thetrashbagswasteland‘s fault, we were watching dr who and rose and nine had an exchange that desperately needed to be on the Shit Sparky Says list. no it’s not the one in the title just trust me

[lieutenantabrudas]

hello everyone can i interest you in a fluffy baby turian wearing a kigurumi for an animal i made up

calvetorin is the youngest child of councilor ierian sparatus, born in 2152 CE - 6 years old when her father takes the council seat following relay 314, and 31 during ME1. most turian chicks lose their down by age 4, but callie's daddy is from the north pole where they hang onto it until around age 6, so she's still fluffie :3 her kigu is based on a dazduus, aka palaven's answer to reindeer or moose. the flaps by her face (meant to be the dazduus's hinge-jaws) can button up over her mouth and nose to keep her face warm!

this is entirely because i saw baby christmas pjs at target while looking for secret santa gifts and this image popped into my head and wouldn't Leave

[lieutenantabrudas]

i had all these other wips and ideas for art that didnt get off the ground this year. and the thing that possesses me is "baby callie in a dazduus kigu"
