Something was after him but he couldn’t see what it was. It was dark and cold and he didn’t know where he was running to. All he knew is that if this creature caught up to him, he would die.
He felt his legs giving up on him, making him shiver. He fell to his knees as he tried to catch his breath. Kaidan gasped for air, but something quickly grabbed him by the neck. He screamed for his dear life, hoping that the creature would spare his life.
“SHE…PARD…JOHN W- WHERE…ARE YOU!”
“SHEPARD!”
Kaidan’s vision slowly went pitch black as he shot up from his bed, realizing that it was only a nightmare. One he has been having for days.
He felt something touch his hand, but this time it felt warm…and safe.
“Hey, hey Kaidan it’s okay. It’s just a dream. I’m here. You’re safe.”
He turned to his left and saw Shepard.
He pulled him into a tight hug and he burried his head on Shepard’s shoulders.
“It felt so real, and…I…I was afraid that I lost you again.” Kaidan said. As his tears slowly fall down on Shepard’s back.
“I got you Kaidan.” Shepard whispered. “No one will hurt us anymore. Okay?”
Kaidan didn’t answer. He just nodded his head, with Shepard still wrapped around him.
what kind of house will shepard and kaidan would live in after everything? will they live in a mansion in a city, a cottage in the fields, or in an apartment somewhere in canada?
When the Battlestar Galactica makes their desperate jump towards Earth, lead by Kara Thrace and four of the Final Five Cylons, they don’t find the Earth they expect. They find an Earth encircled by giant black ships and a woman calling herself Commander Shepard telling them to leave before the Reapers attack them. With Earth not the safe haven they’d hoped for, a multi-species conflict raging around them, and the enemy Cylons still a threat, the Colonial Fleet and their Cylon allies struggle to make a place for themselves in this new universe.
Chapter 17 is up! In which Caprica and Baltar make decisions and Tyrol gets a rude awakening about Earth religion. (Going to try posting updates to Tumblr again. Let’s see how long that lasts.)

Hello! I haven’t been using Tumblr much recently, and I know I picked up some new followers since starting to post Critical Role drabbles. So here’s a little bit of information on me and my primary fandom stuff.
RL Info: She/her/hers, mid-30s, Librarian/Archivist, living in the Mid-Atlantic USA, married, and mom to a beautiful, amazing little girl (born mid-2019).
Fandoms I Write In: Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Person of Interest, Critical Role.
The Critical Role Thing You Might Know Me From: Parallels, where I thought about, er, parallels between C1 and C2 characters that weren’t just comparisons between the same player’s characters. Note that I wrote this relatively early in C2 - aka in the Molly era, where a lot of secrets had yet to be revealed.
Long-Term Writing Projects: I have a bunch of WIPs, but the ones that I’m most likely to continue are my two Mass Effect Giant Crossovers of Doom.
No More Gallifreys: Mass Effect x Doctor Who (2005). Main characters: Female Shepard and the 11th Doctor. Eleven joins the Normandy mid-ME2; clashes with Shepard at first, makes friends with Mordin and Tali, and learns a surprising truth about himself and his connection to the ME universe.
In retrospect, large-scale crossover was not a great choice for my first foray into fanfic, and I got discouraged for a while - but there was a moment recently where I genuinely wanted to continue, so I ended the 2.5 year gap by resolving one cliffhanger and introducing a far less dramatic one.
Exodus Into Fire:Mass Effect x Battlestar Galactica (2003). Main character: Kara “Starbuck” Thrace; secondary important characters: Female Shepard, William Adama, Sharon “Athena” Agathon, Galen Tyrol, and likely others as the story goes along. The Earth that Starbuck guides Galactica to mid-S4 turns out to be Shepard’s Earth at the beginning of ME3. With Earth not the safe haven they’d hoped for, a multi-species conflict raging around them, and the enemy Cylons still a threat, the Colonial Fleet and their Cylon allies struggle to make a place for themselves in this new universe.
At one point, I’d intended to complete No More Gallifreys before starting this one. Hah. There’s an alternate universe where I had the Mass Effect romance be Male Shepard/Tali instead of Shakarian. Female Shepard was a main character at the start, but Starbuck is now the linchpin. I learned from my previous mistakes and chucked ME canon out the airlock sooner, or kept it offscreen if it wasn’t changed by the presence of BSG characters. I’m determined to fit a crossover romance in there somewhere, besides Starbuck hooking up with Septimus Oraka at Afterlife (why? Because she could).
Fandom Exchanges: After creating an excessive amount of spreadsheets for them, @acequeenking asked me to help moderate the two Bioware Rare Pair exchanges that she started - Spectre Requisitions (Mass Effect) and Black Emporium (Dragon Age). Running these two exchanges has turned me into a serious multi-shipper, and I have fun with both of them every year.
Doing those two also inspired me to create the Exchange of Interest for Person of Interest. This one’s for any and all POI relationships. I love this show so much - the lore is amazing and incredibly detailed, and it has some seriously badass characters that are easily some of my favorites ever. I’m grateful to @livenudebigfoot for co-running with me and look forward to Year 4 in Spring 2021!
Stand-Alone Works: Because of the aforementioned exchange participation, I’ve written a LOT of stand-alone ‘shippy stories in the past few years. Here’s a highlighted one from each canon.
So What’s Next?: Another round of Spectre Requisitions starting shortly after the new year; and hopefully more progress soon on my Giant Crossovers (I say that every time. Sometimes it’s true.)
Two updates to this:
RL info: mother of two, baby boy born Fall 2021
Fandoms:On top of everything already mentioned there will be a TON of reblogged Wheel of Time content because that book series is my favorite and has been an important part of my life since I was 14. I am stupidly excited for the show and intend to go back to mentally shrieking about the new trailer as soon as I hit post.
