Hi, I'm tpseudonana (karinabean on AO3). I am a scientist by day, a Romantasy author by night, and a connoisseur of pathetic men who yearn at any time.
CURRENTLY WRITING
A DA:I fic where the Inquisitor goes for a walk to clear her head, accidentally starts a fake book club, and ends up watching Commander Rutherford dismantle twenty recruits shirtless. High-angst with humor, slow-burn, competence kink, and chaotic Inner Circle banter.
Come for the banter, stay for the angst.

ORIGINAL FICTION: THE GHOST AND THE WREN
(Series: The Heron and the Wren)
I've also been quietly working on an original romantasy novel, though I've found that process to be a rather lonely one. Ironically enough, it was the work on my novel that finally gave me the confidence to post fanfic.
The magic system is based on the fiber arts because I also love to knit and crochet (very poorly, I might add)!
My MMC, Theron Valemont, is essentially "what if Cullen Rutherford was a Regency-era cavalry officer with a philology degree who accidentally got trapped in a set of standing stones in a 'reverse Outlander' type of situation?"
(And yes, for those wondering, the protagonist is also named Ella! Think of this as her alternate-universe academic timeline 😅)
HOUSE RULES
Ha! There are no rules! Really though, feel free to come yell at me about DA:I, the Legend of Zelda, Regency romance tropes, optimal forearm visibility ratios, or anything else.
In my other life I'm a mom of two, so I can't guarantee my response rates, but I can tell you my thirst levels overfloweth.
