Writing prompts: “You’re really soft.” for Coryder, please and thank you!
Pairing: Scott/CoraPrompt: 33. “You’re really soft.”
One of these days I won’t let the length of these drabbles get away from me. Today is not that day. Thanks for the prompt! :D

The rational part of her feels like they’re just wasting water at this point, but tonight’s one of the few nights that Cora had decided to ignore her internal voice of reason, and had instead convinced herself that after the day they’d had, a long shower was more than deserved.
She and Scott had been up since early that morning, scouting out another potentially habitable new world somewhere on the outskirts of the Zaubray system with Drack, and what should have just been a few hours of recon and exploration turned into a firefight against an unexpected Kett presence.
They’d hit several camps scattered all over, finding evidence of a larger base somewhere on the unnamed planet, and Scott had called down another squad as SAM pinpointed the location of the main encampment, deeming their presence too much of a threat to ignore. They still had two more monoliths to find, which would hopefully clear up the seismic activity that shook the ground under their feet every few hours, and the last thing they needed was kett striking against them every step of the way.
The encampment was located and hit within the hour, with Scott taking Drack and Liam in on one side while Cora, Peebee, and Jaal rushed from the other. Vetra had stayed up on a hill near the Nomad to take her targets down with a sniper rifle but also to keep a look-out for any incoming dangers. It was fortunate that she did, since not only did the kett have two drop ships of reinforcements come in but the chaos had lured in a few eirochs and a pack of wild adhi as well. Why the Andromeda wildlife always rushed towards the gunfire and flames, Cora would never understand.
I just wanted to drop a line and let you know I absolutely adore your art and seeing it on my dash always brightens my day. Thank you for sharing your talent!! <3
Thank you very very much!! :3 I’m twice as happy that I’m drawing something new then, so I feel like I deserve this super cute message ;)
tlcinbflo reblogged your post and added:
If I ever don’t reblog something you’ve written...
How sweet is this?! You and @citadelsushi and @juleshawke have been making me smile a lot lately with your marvelous notes and tags. I heart you, too!
The creative juices aren’t flowing much at the moment, but comments like this make me feel much better about it. Thank you!
Sloan Shepard (wearing Kaidan's stolen shirt) for @tlcinbflo. I was the anonymous ask about her face claim. :) I hope you like it.
Oooooh!!! Will you write a kiss for Sloan and one of your Shepards? 😁😁
You didn’t specify what kind of kiss, so Sloan is getting a sexy kiss with Pandora Shepard.
The music in the club pounded like a krogan in full charge, the drum beats reverberating up through the soles of Sloan’s boots and shaking her bones as she threw herself into the beat. Techno tunes fresh from the quarian Migrant Fleet, the latest hip new thing in the party scene, shrieked and oscillated as the strobe lights flickered and coloured lasers flashed.
Her head swam from the vodka shots she’d been doing, or maybe from the overwhelming wave of sound and light, but she abandoned herself to the music with a kind of single minded ferocity with which the other Alliance marines were beginning to associate her. She grinned as another body crashed into hers and caught a glimpse of wild blue eyes, tanned skin and a feminine grin that looked as mad as her own.
Sloan saw the invitation to dance in that mad smile; she took it.
They clung together and twirled, moving like entwined snakes to the frantic beats of the music, holding tight as they ground against one another and danced; soft curves and hard muscles alike. She could feel the strength in the other woman; recognised the sinewy grace of someone trained to move in combat like herself, and she laughed with the madness of if all.
When she felt the other woman’s mouth against her own, warm soft lips and the flick of a warm velvet tongue, she responded in kind, and the noise, the light, the madness finally faded away in a moment of calm within that kiss. A single heartbeat of peace in the whirling craziness of the club. The eye of the storm. The kiss was brief, but soft, warm and gentle ... and then it was gone.
The other woman pulled away with a grin and a wink, and the dance was on again, the music crashing over them both in a cacophony of overwhelming noise.
Sloane Shepard never even got her name.
There are so many things unique to your writing and a lot of them have been touched on already - characterization, description, sexy times, tone of voice - you're truly a brilliant write; but if I was given two identical smut scenes from two different writers, with their names removed - I could pick yours because of two reasons. One: there's always a palpable love between the people in the sex scene, and two: there is *ALWAYS* a moment when consent is given. Always. You're bloody brilliant.
*hugs and clings*
So, sexual consent is a huge, huge thing for me for many many reasons, but I think it’s very important that in my writing and between my characters, consent is always clear. Whether it’s verbal, physical, a look, a nod, a signal ... whatever the characters do, it’s so important to me that the characters having sex have clear consent, especially if they’re engaging in D/s play.
I do love writing smut. Sex is such an important part of the relationships I write between my characters, and I like to write characters who have healthy sex lives, and who take joy in being with each other - I’m glad that comes through, and that you think it’s something that makes my writing ... mine.
I’m going to go curl up and blush now. Thank you!
[ What is my writing trademark? ]
I would love to see something for Alex and Kaidan! I miss them! lol
I was thinking about Alex and Kaidan too. The plan was to write something for SZ Alenko for each day (even just a short drabble) and then to write something for my other Kaidan’s too.
I am hoping to turn Alliance Training smutty if I use Alex and Kaidan ... since they’re such smutty creatures.
