No Identification (Planescape: Torment) 2018-2020
Planescape: Torment is a devilish setting to write for because the story is so tightly built, so thematically unified, that I feel like I’m sewing cheeky patches onto someone’s wedding dress. But I’m cheeky. No Identification Provided is a series of one-shots set during the game events of Planescape: Torment. They deal with the companions…

Overcoming Adviercity (SWTOR) 2017
Vierce Savins, freedom fighter, naturalized citizen to the Galactic Republic, and hater of all things Imperial. This is the canonical Republic Trooper in my Star Wars: The Old Republic. And then he met Elara Dorne. Now, I met Dorne immediately after finishing the Sith Warrior line, and I hated Imps. I hated Imps so much.…

An Alternate Year (Gilmore Girls) 2020
I disliked the Gilmore Girls revival. I disliked it so much I wrote an alternate year, closer to the ending of Season 7, resolving emotional threads that should not have been left hanging for a decade. The result? A year in a slightly different life, following our favorites. I really enjoyed getting into the banter…

SWTOR Poems
I wrote a lot of poems about Star Wars: The Old Republic companions, and I don’t regret a one. Some were limericks from chapters of No Death, Only Wrath. More came from a forum thread about romance options. I have the whole collection in PDF form. As an example I post Andronikos: You’ll pick your…

Fionne, Norbert, Turin: Angst and Arrogance 2015
(art by lonelion4ever) The beauty of Dragon Age is that of worldstates: entire tapestries of decisions and character fates that shape unique worlds. Fionne Cousland was the prime figure of my first efforts. I made her to romance Alistair. Well, spoilers for a possible DA:O endgame. If you turn down That, you know, That, while…

Lynesse (Dragon Age: the Veilguard) 2025
Lynesse’s premise is very simple: smooch Emmrich. She is a Shadow Dragon, a freedom fighter, a trained bard, anything that appealed to me as I raced along. A former sex worker and a person used to disappearing. She is what she has to be. I feature Manfred halfway frequently in her stories because I think…

Canon in T (original) 1999-2024
(art by kabeone!) Canon in T is my favorite Bright novel. It is about a girl dealing with research, power, and love while mired in the politics of a religious order that has no room for her. It was informed by my experience in a male-dominated profession, but I never had a Phinean Draconis. Tarina…

Lords of the Pha (Original) 2019
The Pha were a Roger Zelazny-inspired setting of incestuous lords taking the power of ancestral regalia and thinking they’re all that. They are not invulnerable. The core piece is The Pha Hunt, about one of those things that works to make them know they are not invulnerable. The cousins must gather, for once, and deal…

The Vailond Trilogy (Pillars of Eternity) 2020
Watcher. In a world where the passage of souls is as ordinary as a cipher’s charm and as powerful as gods, the rare gift or curse of the Watcher carries much weight. The truth of the corruption of the Wheel of souls may not reveal itself any other way. (Picture is an in-game default avatar.)…
