Lazarus ReRising

my first fanfic! a decade of mass effect obsession poured into words. the saga continues: growing alongside me, raw, tender, and full of heart. 💫 femshep | garrus | kaidan | slow healing in a galaxy fractured. Loving the stories is enough, but if you want to support, here’s a cozy spot—no pressure! ✨

Lazarus ReRising

THE CRUCIBLE HAS FIRED. CHAPTER 4 IS UP!

👉 READ IT HERE

featuring: emotional devastation, (light?) screaming, and just enough hope to ruin you further

“how’s the ao3 curse treating you?”

omg it’s amazinggg I woke up with a ✨corneal ulcer✨three hours before my flight to my BACHELORETTE weekend 😍

[sendhelpthankyou]

the thing no one notices when they start writing is that you can't stop. you can take a break. you can move on to a different idea. but once you start writing you won't stop. its like a cult but there's more murder

me, writing my fanfic: huh this is pretty decent

also me, writing my fanfic: i am truly the worst writer in the world this is utter garbage i deserve to lie in a hole in the forest somewhere why am i completely useless and would he really say that???

[m3l3fic3nt]

since posting my fic I have personally endured:

• a car accident (minor, but still??)

• food poisoning (shrimp. betrayal.)

• the flu (full cinematic experience)

• a casual cancer scare (love that for me)

• and now?? pneumonia.

at this point I’m expecting locusts, frogs, or a burning bush that just says “stop updating”

y’all weren’t kidding about the ao3 curse 😭

i had to doodle this headcanon from @paladingineer super quick.

(miranda did, in fact, know shepard's ring size.)

Your story is still worth writing even if it veers off from what you planned originally.

It’s still worth writing even if you aren’t feeling it right now.

It’s still worth writing even if it’s fanfiction.

It’s still worth writing even if you don’t think anyone else would ever want to read it.

It’s still worth writing even if it doesn’t get published.

It’s still worth writing even if it doesn’t get adapted into a huge blockbuster movie.

It’s still worth writing even if you can’t have fancy illustrations at the beginning of chapters or a map of the world at the beginning.

It’s still worth writing even if someone you trusted told you to stop.

It’s still worth writing if you just rolled your eyes at me.

It’s still worth writing, SO WRITE IT.

every time I write emotional intimacy I’m like “god I hope no one realizes this is exactly how I want to be loved.”

Shepard/Garrus

In their under-armor-suit(that I made up because I have no idea what they look like)

[m3l3fic3nt]

you ever think about shep/kaidan/garrus in a room with Black Sabbath playing???

I did. then I wrote it.

As promised: Princess of Darkness — RIP OZZY 🖤

[m3l3fic3nt]

what if i told you i wrote a black sabbath–themed standalone about the trio?? i’m giggling and kicking my feet like a fucking idiot bc i KNOW how unwell it’s gonna make y’all 😭

[mercymaker]

Some bloody Major Alenko for kaidaned

[m3l3fic3nt]

yepppp that’s the look that makes an appearance in my fic 🥺

[netssa19]

Here is almost 6 minutes of Garrus being absolutely sweet, needy, protective, and flirtyyyy.

[m3l3fic3nt]

😭😭😭

Shepard: “Reapers exist. They are coming. We need to prepare.”

Council: “We believe you think you’re right.”

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

the point of fanfiction is that you can write whatever the fuck you want forever and no one can stop you. #thepower

[m3l3fic3nt]

still feels illegal sometimes 😭

[m3l3fic3nt]

hey so I’m sick as fuckkk and my brain’s all scrambled from cold meds, but here’s a lil slice-of-life sickfic full of domestic bliss with the trio while we wait on chapter 3 of Lazarus ReRising

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

also, whoever infected me, consider yourself warned. it’s on sight 🔪🔪🔪

stay safe and drink your fluids, friends

[m3l3fic3nt]

it’s always Garrus reaching for her first. it’s always Kaidan staying behind last.

they were hers

she was the galaxy’s

and that’s the tragedy
