Dragon Age: The Cage and the Keepers
I’m posting a five-part series on Leif Surana and her time in the Circle at Kinloch Hold before the beginning of Dragon Age: Origins. These are all prompt fills from days gone by, finally assembled in chronological order. Leif always had a combative relationship with the Templars, and this shows through.

A Kingsmouth Vigil (The Secret World)
Ah, Erenya, you cautious Illuminati isolationist. I really enjoyed the side characters in TSW, so I wrote one for poor, dark Andy. This is a 500-word-challenge one-shot that is also on AO3. Full text below. “You okay?” said Andy. He was scrubbing his wrists with his hands, first one, then the other, faster than when…

Dialogues AU (SWTOR)
I always wanted to know what a Star Wars: The Old Republic Sith Warrior would say to a Jedi Knight. Well, what if she apprehended him for delivery to the Emperor, and their ship was set adrift? He has just a few precious weeks to talk his way out. To bring one more person back…

Lodestone AU (SWTOR)
(art by kabeone) Ah, Lodestone. The original Ruth/Wynston AU. I didn’t lie about Ruth Means Compassion: in every continuity she starts Light Side, she befriends Wynston, she falls in love with and marries Malavai Quinn, and she parts on bitter terms with a son to remember her husband by. All of these are true in…

Found Wanting (Original)
Found Wanting was my continuation of 1984, set in postapocalyptic Boston. It followed Andrew Hsu, a Thought Cop newly deprived of Party, and Cassandra Montgomery, a teenager being stifled by protective survivors. I have tried to make this a novel and I’ve tried to make this a short story, but it never came together. I…

Cross Faction AU (SWTOR)
Cross Faction is my Star Wars: the Old Republic Trooper’s dark coin flip. If the Imperial Agent framed Elara Dorne for treason just as things were getting good… what would resistance fighter Vierce Savins do? The answer is an Acts 2 and 3 novella AU of obsession and revenge, far from the healing path of…

XP Gained: Bard (Neverwinter Nights 2) 2019
Neverwinter Nights 2 starts slow and snowballs into a classic D&D 3.5 adventure with some truly glorious setpieces. Here began my bard, the original, pre-Veilguard Lynesse. I published a scattering of stories, and I’ll reprint one here. XP Gained on AO3 Lynesse felt her throat constricting when Bishop came into view. She was perched on…

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…

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…
