theDeadTreehide bio
 Author has written 10 stories for Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. I enjoy writing and do it kind of obsessively. I can also be found on Archive of Our Own, under the same username. I tend to write a lot of shorts, a lot of angst, a lot of introspection, a lot of character studies, and generally a whole lot of nothing in particular. Shipping and romance usually makes me uncomfortable, so I prefer to stay away from it. |

Aftermath (Critical Role) by lostinwriting23 reviews
"I don't want to be alone tonight," His voice is barely above a whisper and he's dropped his chin again, talking to a point somewhere near her left elbow, "Do you?" "I haven't been wanting to be alone most nights." It's the truest sequence of words she can get out around the lump in her throat but she steps back a little, intention clear.

Scott's pretty sure his father wasn't in the right state of mind to be delegating his duties as Pathfinder when he was dying - he's pretty sure there's been a terrible mistake. But it's too late to fix it now. Maybe one day he'll get used to 'Pathfinder', but he doubts it. Eventual slash, M/M. Slow-ish burn. Rated M for first half of chapter 8.

Marinette traced her fingers down the smooth lines of the magazine, a blush creeping to her face. It wasn't just his toned, muscular body that set her aflame, although that was certainly a bonus. It was his eyes. The way his body appeared, languid like a summers day. His body said relax but his eyes said devour. She'd seen those eyes before...
