Author has written 18 stories for Saiunkoku Monogatari, Dragon Age, Lost Odyssey, and Mass Effect.

Hi there :D

My name is Meri and I'm obviously obsessed with Dragon Age. Aside Alistair, my love there belongs especially to the Dalish elves in Bioware's world. That brought me to start writing "Of Elves And Humans", which is one of the few Mahariel playthrough-FF's around here. Lenya is the slightly different and rather complicated character starring within, and entirely under my careful development. Given, a retelling of Dragon Age has been done to death now, but I wanted to give this origin and the Dalish Warden more depth and realism with added scenes and fresh dialogue. Therefore "OEaH" was born" :)

Alas (or not), my story will have epic length. (90-120 chapters.)

FYI: I hate to disappoint but all of my on-going Saiunkoku stories are in the dreaded state of "abandoned." I have lost my drive and interest for this series too long ago. Not to mention that these stories are old and not comparable with the writing style I now have.

Sorry.

My lovely Beta tklivory has written a wonderful one shot, starring Lenya, her Warden Dailana and other Wardens:

Possibly a bit NSFW-ish, but so very worth a read. Check it out.


This picture here is pretty much how I visioning Lenya's tattoo on her back is looking like. Only with (more) clear contours of a sword in the middle, that is.


And this is my Tumblr-blog, full of random fangirling:http://merilsell.tumblr.com/

Feel free to add/follow me there. And if you are a reader of mine, let me know, when adding me. As I will follow right back then ;)


1. Of Elves And Humans » reviews
Trust is a delicate flower that needs to get nurtured and time to grow. Even more so love. A tale of two disparate Wardens forced together, of finding a way to overcome the distrust, and their own painful past in the time of the Blight. Alistair/F!Mahariel. M-rated for mature and sexual themes. Credit for the wonderful new cover art goes to Natzo/Santafer. Link in my profile.

2. Dust Flower reviews
Dust is everything Saria Brosca her whole life has known and almost everyone around her in Orzammar had treated her as such. Now risen to the ranks of a Grey Warden, one would think it would be easier for her to return to her old home. But Saria still thinks that Dust Town sticks to her skin, and is all she ever will be. Yet beauty & inner strength prospers in the oddest places...

5. The Arrangement reviews
Isolde had the perfect plan to get the annoying Dalish Warden out of the picture, to save the future of Ferelden and please her husband. A love Potion! Surely nothing can ever go wrong with magic, right? Set in the OEaH-universe, answer to a CMDA-challenge.

8. Betrayed » reviews
F!Aeducan-centric drabbles all through the Blight in a somewhat chronological order. Only the third one has exact 100 words, though, the other chapters have a bit more. The order has been rearranged for the sake of continuity. Sorry for any confusion.

Shuurei swore herself never to let love come into her way. As an official this was a luxury she couldnt afford. But why keeps she thinking about Ryuuki after they made that gamble? And why is he avoiding her? Set after anime season 2. Currently ON HOLD.

A dark, angsty one-shot, based on the prompt "Ryuuki -An angel with broken wings, fallen to hell" with an twisted, bittersweet "what-if" scenario. Ryuuki/Shuurei-centric, but all but happy.

16. Happy ending reviews
Prompt of/for the Saiunkoku FF-community. This time: Ryuuki...a happy ending. Its just a short Ryuuki-centric ficlet and maybe not what it seems to be at first sight...
