PSA: TinyPic image hosting to shut down September 16

The image hosting service TinyPic has announced they will permanently shut down on September 16, 2019. To make sure their users know, TinyPic has made it so any images hosted on their servers no longer appear on third-party sites like AO3. Instead, a notice about TinyPic’s closure displays in the images’ place.

We strongly urge anyone using TinyPic-hosted images for their fanworks to back up their images as soon as possible.

An Aethyta/Benezia treat for @ladykatana4544 (worked on their expressions first!) and @inglorious-boshtet (their personalities are so fun, I can’t think of a more unlikely couple. Also bare arms… yes good). I read through both of your likes and picked “women being awesome” and “aftermaths / choices made” as basis for this scene. 

Also thanks to @dr-jekyl for roping me into this rarepair otp. It’s a special kind of hell. (when you mentioned greek influence I was like… I’ve been compromised)

This work is hosted over at AO3 [🡵] as part of the Loyalty Missions collection [🡵]. Was hosting this image here but forgot to take it out of my drafts;;

Fandom: Mass Effect Trilogy Pairing: Jack/Miranda Words: 1011 Rating: PG

If anyone who knew them both had told her just a few years ago that she’d trust Jack with something like this - indeed, with anything - she’d have laughed, and possibly suggested that they paid a visit to Dr. Chakwas. But a lot had changed since their time together on the Normandy.

[a treat for @loyalty-missions]

spotify | youtube

an act of kindness | bastille

Kindness, so many people pass me by, But you warm me to my core and you left me wanting more.

born to beg | the national

I’m dying to be taken apart.

familiar | agnes obel

Our love is a ghost that the others can’t see, It’s a danger.

moonbeam | lord huron

Now the darkness don’t scare me much.

to build a home | the cinematic orchestra

This is a place where I don’t feel alone.

last kiss | coeur de pirate (pearl jam cover)

The painful scream that I heard last.

i’m all at sea | will cookson

I’m watching the stars asleep in the ocean, Chained to the helm with a rudder that’s broken.

the mortal boy king | the paper kites

Life, Sometimes it ends too soon.

liara/tali is also extremely good

A Night in Havarl

For @dr-pijehan. I’ve always wanted Suvi to get her “someday, when things are more settled” chance at exploration, and here she is with her GF in the most lush planet in the cluster. Thanks for the opportunity to draw these two!

Sam Traynor’s life would be a lot easier if Marines could keep their shirts on.

Or: a new friendship aboard the Normandy between the ship’s comms specialist and her Executive Officer blooms into something else as the war rages.

Loyalty Missions 2018 treat for @comefeedtherainn and @inglorious-boshtet

Have a concerned morrning Kolyat worried about his girlfriend not sleeping all night over a political gala.

There’s a story to this coming soon:

“How long have you been up?” I didn’t even hear Kolyat move out of bed, caught in the act of working  late. The gala’s plans scattered around me like spotlights, and I shrugged at him. “Ori. It’s late.”

Thanks to @helloshepard for literally prompting me my OTP for @loyalty-missions.

It’s reveal date!

Here’s what I wrote for the loyalty exchange! Beta’d by @rocknrollalien at the very last minute. Thank you so much!!

CW: For topics of death, grief and mouring

After LotSB, I like to think that Liara was there for Feron as her recovered, and maybe it marked the start of something new in their relationship. [For @autodiscothings as part of the @loyalty-missions exchange!]

Rating: Teen Words: ~3600 Relationship: Lantar Sidonis/Garrus Vakarian Summary: When Expel 10 plays Omega for the first time, it seems like a good idea for Garrus and Lantar’s first date. Omega, of course, will always be Omega.

My giftee in @loyalty-missions, the Mass Effect NPC ship exchange I just co-modded, was @cristaldephoenix, who wanted a moment with these two idiots before everything in Archangel went south. I’m deeply amused by Garrus listening to music in combat, so I built on that, and on Lantar’s poor background I’d earlier come up with for another fic featuring him. It was fun to write, though it made me want to go to another concert some time soon!

My @loyalty-missions exchange / N7 day gift for @maxxiekin! Thank you for giving me the chance to draw this awesome buddy cop duo. This took about four iterations cause I wasn’t sure if you’d like a sort of matching buddy cop uniform or just their default armor vigilante-style. So why not both xD

This work is hosted over at AO3 [🡵] . And check out the Loyalty Missions collection [🡵]  for more gifts and treats!
