Author has written 7 stories for Mass Effect.

Back into writing a bit. I'm settled into my job, I've got the time.

MtM1 and 2 in their current states annoy me too much to really work on 4 while they're in that state, particularly with the directions I want to be taking those stories, so please be patient with me as I write some redux stuff and touch up the stories. I know some people like the originals, so I'll be leaving them up for now.

As always, thanks for all the patience.

(Update: Busy with rl stuff. Slow paced updates but I'm getting there.)

Part 1 of the 'No Strings Attached' saga. Shepard and Alenko meet each other on Trident while on shore leave.
