Finally started kicking fandom stuff into twitter here - mostly RTs and art WIPs

Not just limited to ColdFlash, but there’s certainly a fair amount of that! 18+ folks only please, there’s occasional NSFW content.

Currently working through some of the awesome ColdFlash prompts on my bingo card, gonna be posting WIPs there before dropping final versions here~

Since I got some messages a while back about wanting to read more things I've written I decided I'd make a collection of posts with links to my past 10 plus years of fan fiction. Eventually I may put together my original stuff from 20 plus years ago but this is what I have ready access to.

Links after the cut.

Worm/Ward (Parahumans by Wildbow):

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

Lyric is a Ashley Stillons II/OC initially smut based fic that turned into an exploration of love between two strangers in a post-apocalyptic society set during the early days before Ward's start. Arc 2 is already being written and will be debuting sometime in Fall 2022.

Bad Company is a Taylor Hebert/OC adventure-romance that starts from Taylor's first week as Skitter. A Ward goes rogue from his set mission to keep Sophia in check at Winslow High and gets drawn into Taylor's undercover shenanigans. The story is currently coming into the end of Arc 2 with the Slaughterhouse Nine making the rounds earlier than canon and things are not going well for The Undersiders or our heroes. (While not a smut fic, it does have teenagers living in sin and discussing related practices.)

Shepherd Of Fire, an ABB focused AU featuring Lung and his future bride dealing with running their criminal organization while contending with betrayal, burgeoning race war with the Empire 88, and Parahuman politics in Brockton Bay. It's been compared to Chinese gangster flicks by readers and noted for it's portrayal of a quite sane Carol Dallon. (Series is on hiatus as of the end of Arc 2 and may continue at a later date. Features sex, violence and human trafficking.)

Have No Fear Of Perfection was my first foray into Work fanfic. It's a completed serial with an OC triggering during the Endbringer attack on Brockton Bay. It explores life as a teenage orphan with powers he barely understands and eventually gets sucked into Shadow Stalker's plans to avenge herself using our MC on the Undersiders. (Serial is complete, features a Sophia/OC partnership- relationship, and gets fairly AU with the Worm timeline.)

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

Elegance Is Not Being Noticed is a Ward based Imp/OC story. It's fairly short and currently incomplete, it's primarily (you guessed it) romance centered story on a thinker who can actually see Aisha while her power is on. I just love Aisha's character and wanted to explore writing a non heterosexual relationship. It's actually one of two of my least viewed stories and I just abandoned it out of lack of views and feedback. It's the fluffiest of my fics and I mostly enjoyed writing Aisha banter.

Dragon Age: Origins/Dragon Age 2:

This is my very first fanfiction I ever wrote. (Correction very first I ever published online.) Being not a fan of people I really enjoyed Dragon Age Origins and Awakening and all the DLC, and I started playing back when the last dlc was coming out. Basically I was waiting for dragon age 2 and used the new lore drops from the dlc to continue my Wardens story. It was a really glitchy playthrough so I had flags and story beats that shouldn't have happened. It basically set the tone for the kinda stories I write even now. (Continued romance between a Cousland King-Consort and Morrigan with an epilogue ending).

The first prequel to In The Land of Ever. Cousland drags Alistair out to Denerim while both are very wanted men by Loghain's forces. Entirely comedic and just a love letter to Alistair as the best pal a PC could have.

Second prequel but set during the wanderings of the Warden, Alistair, Morrigan and Leliana in the Deep Roads, again it's mostly Cousland and Alistair bantering like they are want (wont?) to do.

Finally, Iris named after the Goo Goo Dolls song. It's a Warden! Alistair and Warden! Bethany friendship maybe romance that runs through DA2 continuity. It's incomplete but one of my absolute favorite stories that should probably finish. (No sex, just jokes, arguments and two forever virgins who miss their friends and family.)

I have a question that has been burning in me for years. In the Aurex timelines, we learn of Unicron’s ability to create life based on what he has devoured in the past. In the case of the Minicons, an entire new race, what did he use as a model for them? Are the rumors true, and he devoured/used Micronus Prime, or was it something else?

Dear Mini-Con Muser,

The rumors you speak of are news to me, but the truth of the matter is that the Mini-Cons of that particular universe are not modeled on anyone. Though I speak of Micronus as my brother, his existence is not a matter of fact in every reality, just as Logos Prime is one of my brethren in one universe but not the other.

Simply put, Unicron did not create life when he created the Mini-Cons. Unlike those souls revived from devoured sparks using Unicron’s makeup, such as Scorponok, the Mini-Cons as Unicron created them were but tools to him—extensions of his will. They were perfect sleeper agents, designed to heighten the scale of the war so that Unicron might one day revive. It was not until the Mini-Cons encountered the human soul that they gained sparks of their own, creating the Linkage and ultimately becoming true, independent beings.
