I did this drawing for @mebigbang‘s reverse big bang and I was lucky enough to snag three authors with it!

 Thank you soo much for indulging me with this idea. I’ve been having a massive art block so its honestly encouraging to know people get inspired by what I’m drawing.

Links are to be uploaded.

My entry to this year’s reverse Mass Effect Big Bang, now with links! I am still amazed that two of my fave authors picked my art to write for, and they did an absolutely brilliant job.  Please check out their work and leave them some love as well! (They’re both heavy on the angst as requested so have some tissues ready.)

Shepard has gathered every resource he can; he’s recruited every ally. Everything comes down to this final battle, and he knows in his heart that this may be the last night he ever gets to spend in Kaidan Alenko’s arms.

Blink Of an Eye by @maxrev

War looms on the horizon and Shepard finds himself thinking about the changes in his life and how they’ve come about. Finally, good things are happening to him and now, he might very well lose them all. Kaidan helps him put things into perspective and along the way, Shepard realizes the most important thing of all.

And here is a second piece I did, which was inspired by the drafts elle and max sent during the course of their writing. 

Lastly, I would like to give a shout out to Azzy @mebigbang for making all this happen.  You are awesome! 

Don’t forget to check out the mebb master post here to see the other amazing artwork and fic.

My written contribution to the MERBB 2019. The beautiful art which inspired this fic can be found here and the fic I wrote can be found on AO3.

I had such a wonderful time working with @th3morrigan and I was honored to be able to write a story around her art. 

I also want to thank @mebigbang‘s Azzy for all she does to put this together. You’re amazing :)

All Ashley Williams wanted to do was coach basketball without her grandfather's legacy derailing her career. She just didn't count on being caught up in making history at Normandy University under the first female head coach of a men's team.

A belated posting due to RL, but here’s my collaboration with the fantastic @lakambinii for the Mass Effect Reverse Big Bang!

A snippet:

Ashley sighed. “I think it went OK. The coaching demonstration went better than I’d expected, but it was hard for me to read the rest of the staff during the meeting this afternoon. Dinner and lunch were fine, but who the hell knows at this point.”

“I’m sure you rocked it,” Lynn said decisively. “How long did you spend prepping for this?”

She wanted to respond, Prep’s not everything, but swallowed it. To be fair, this was honestly the furthest she’d gotten in the interview process for a job at a four-year university. She’d been trying to land a spot on a women’s team for years, ever since she’d finished her master’s program, but even with her CV and her references, she barely got even phone interviews. Most programs put two and two together with her last name and decided it wasn’t worth risking their program’s reputation by hiring Richard Williams’ granddaughter.

“Way too fucking long,” she answered instead. “Anyway, they said I should hear back in about two weeks if I got the job or not.”

“You’re gonna get the job,” Sarah said. “I’ve looked up David Anderson and even aside from hiring Shepard, he has a reputation for not caring what other people think. You made it this far, which means that the search committee likes you, and he has final say, right?”
