ShadesOfMauvehide bio
 Author has written 6 stories for Dragon Age, and Mass Effect. I have a relentless internal dialogue (monologues are boring). I haven't written much fanfic, but when I discovered the amount of misguided people who thought a character with a real disability couldn't have a romantic relationship A Star to Steer Her By started to write itself (Our five year mission: To seek out new life and new civilizations, and boldly prove that Joker is one hot BAMF). I try to respond to all reviews, especially if there's something specific. I love critique. Be brutal. Sunset and Evening Star is a sequel to A Star to Steer Her By, and a Mass Effect 3 fix-it fic of sorts. Currently updating whenever the heck I feel like it. (Note made Sept 2016). Big beta thank you: Tera Danielle stuck with me all through A Star to Steer Her By and deserves more praise than I can shower her with. |

The Cerberus Files Addenda : The Systems Alliance by LogicalPremise reviews
Cerberus's take on the SA. Follows the style of the the Cerberus Files for alien races, but this time going into the dark and ugly history of the Systems Alliance, changes in human culture, and details about the government, politics, and more, written by Minsta. Sort of my take on Renegade Reinterpretations, except more like 'bloodthirsty lunatic reinterpretations with an axe.'

Baby Steps by paradoxiKay reviews
Be careful what you wish for; you just might get it from someone more interested in the wording of your wish than the spirit. Joker explains to Shepard why'd he'd trade his brand-new, Cerberus-funded legs for the old broken ones in a heartbeat.

Sunset and Evening Star reviews
How ME3 might have happened if they'd stuck with the themes presented in the first two games, as perceived by This Arrogant Author. Featuring Rhi Shepard (still quite enamored of her pilot), and the expected host of allies, partners in crime, and assorted hangers-on. (sequel to A Star to Steer Her By).

Mass of Drabbles reviews
This is a dumping ground for random Mass Effect drabbles. Mostly secondary characters, with special love for our favorite tattooed, swearing merc. NOT Star to Steer Her By universe. If you're looking for serious reading, look elsewhere!

Deleted scenes from my ongoing slowmance 'A Star to Steer Her By.' Possibly amusing as drabbles/short-fic on their own, and certainly of interest to rabid fans of aStShB - all three of you.
