Author has written 9 stories for Mass Effect, and Dragon Age.

Note to Certus readers: I'm taking another break to recharge for the last push. Posting will resume as normal on June 6th.


Just your average girl-geek, who got engaged enough in a video game world to start writing in it.

I'm a long-time gamer of all varieties, though my current drugs of choice are tabletop RPGs and video games. I'm also a full-time armchair science nerd. I work in post-production for film and TV doing matte painting and asset creation. In my spare time I game, collect toys, paint miniatures, read, draw, and soak up every spare thing about the world that I can.

I'll happily answer any questions or PMs. Thanks for visiting!


All of my Mass Effect stories take place in the same universe, so there is continuity between characters and events. While an effort is made to make each story accessible to an audience that might not have read what comes before, variations and differences in details do start to stack up. The timing around each is deliberately vague, but they do have a loose kind of order. So, for the sake of clarity for any newcomers, this is it:

Iunctio - Covers the events of Mass Effect 1

Iunctio: Wrex - Companion chapters concurrent to Iunctio, from Wrex's POV.

Onus - Takes place shortly after the end of Mass Effect 1.

Domus - Takes place shortly after Onus.

Xun - Occupies a space somewhere between the two games, probably closer to the beginning of Mass Effect 2.

Exitus - Covers the events of Mass Effect 2.

Resono - Takes place shortly after Exitus.

Certus - (In progress) Covers the events of Mass Effect 3.

Certus: Chapter 36, Extra Crispy version can be found here.


All stories are also hosted on AO3.

Even across the span of light years, sympathetic particles sing in tune. Take one part KSM, one part LotSB; blend, season liberally, upend, bake and serve. Post-ME2, post-Exitus.
