Author has written 17 stories for Mass Effect.

Hi! Thank you for taking an interest and reading my stories. Please don't hold back on feedback: I'll be grateful for critique and compliments alike.

If you wish to stalk me, I have a site at www.smehur.com (mandatory remark: I like to be stalked). I also post things on dA, AFF, and AO3, and there's a complete list of my stuff on Delicious. For the chronological order of my stories, look at Saren/Nihlus and Garrus/Shepard timelines.

Everything here was inspired and/or improved by my partners in crime: Misfire Anon, inthenightside, and logsig, who I can never thank enough for their time and patience. If you like what I do, chances are you'll enjoy their writing too.
