Machinist's Guardian Archangelhide bio
 Author has written 18 stories for Mass Effect, Dishonored, Dungeons and Dragons, Metroid, and Halo. I am now open for commissions! Check my Tumblr (gv-archangel . tumblr . c o m after you remove the spaces) for my rates and rules. If there's any questions, my gmail is is gvarchangelcomms. Shoot me a message if you're interested, and we'll see what we can do! Open to fanfiction work and original works! Bio: A more than mildly obsessed Mass Effect/Dishonored writer. Writes mostly action and romance, with a little poetry. Mostly on the romance side for Mass Effect. Easily distracted by playing Mass Effect, Fallout, Dishonored, D&D, Hotline Miami, Last of Us, and occasionally Darkest Dungeon. Will keep writing. Nice little distraction. Feel free to review, email, request, etc. I will share references on my Tumblr, anything from songs referenced to inspiration pieces. Feel free to look. (Just cut out the spaces to see it.) gv-archangel . tumblr . c o m My current massive project: Dishonored piece: I want to novelize Dishonored. I want to make Corvo his own character with his own past, thoughts, and motivations. Will still pretty closely mirror the game with plenty of little detours, such as talks to Samuel on the boat and thinking of his life before. That will be in first person from Corvo's perspective, while there'll be several sections following Captain Curnow in his work trying to catch the masked assassin. Really want to do this one, but not entirely sure if should commit to it yet. Pieces I have very roughs ideas for and really want to work on, likely as breaks from my giant Dishonored piece: Wedding piece for Tali and Shep. (see below.) A short companion piece for Darkest Dungeon involving the Brigand Attack on the Hamlet. A look at Garrus, Shep, and Tali three-ish years after The End of A War. Bits and pieces about my D&D adventures, anything from back stories for other characters to snippets from out missions. Some distant future piece for the crew in retirement many years after the games. Possible fanfics: Really having an urge for Hotline Miami something, possibly about the relationship between Jacket and the Girl. Not sure how that'll go. In the words of Tali'Zorah (Shepard) vas Rannoch "If they don't like it, they can go to hell." |

Spartan, Meet Bounty Hunter reviews
What happens when two universes collide, a pair of ridiculously dedicated warriors used to fighting entirely different wars, now forced to work together thanks to circumstance? Maybe friendship, rivalry, romance, or professionalism. Regardless, the enemy is going to die. Commissioned by mcxh-raildex, art from paradox828, both on DeviantArt. Discontinued commission, sorry.

The Adventures of Tiny Corvo
A collection of one-shots, session recaps, and general weirdness about my old D&D campaign starring Corvo the spider rogue. Updates from time to time, but this is mostly me taking small breaks from my main stories. It's relaxing, despite the amount of fire this party deals with.

A Mad Jester's Life
In the Pathfinder world that suddenly lost its gods and went through a hundred years of civil war, a strange college grew to the north. The "graduates" all left wearing strange clown costumes, dangerous entertainers who wander the lands bringing merriment and death with them. These are the tales of one such Jester, known only as Jingles. Cover comes from Palavenmoons on Tumblr.

Meanwhile, Captain Curnow is trying to follow the masked assassin working through Dunwall. Essentially a Dishonored novelization making Corvo an actual character and other changes.

Happy Birthday reviews
Every species, every culture, has its own rites and traditions. Thankfully, for a certain Quarian/human couple, at least one special occasion doesn't result in too much culture shock: birthdays. ME3 fic, post Rannoch. M!ShepxTali, obviously. Just a doodle I did as practice in between chapters of bigger projects. Picture is from Palavenmoons on Tumblr.

What do you do when you live on Rannoch, don't have a real house yet, and need to unwind with your favorite Quarian? Well, there's always a Hell of a view waiting for you at the end of the day. Might as well enjoy it. Cover image credit of NarQwibQwib over on FA.

Time reviews
Time can change a lot, whether you're alive to acknowledge it or not. It can heal just as many wounds as it causes. But regardless of the changes, weathering them with a friend always makes it more bearable. A little fic I made for Tumblr, felt like I should make sure it gets posted here.

Talking to My Reflection
It's been over a month since the Reapers hit Earth, sending Shepard off the planet to save the galaxy again. And it's been almost eight months since the last time he saw Tali, who he's missing more by the day. Desperate to reach her, and even more so to feel like something is going right, he sends her a message. Rated T for some brief strong language (two F-bombs, little else).

After the Omega-4 Relay and a week of running from the Illusive Man, the Normandy crew needs rest. Docking on Illium becomes the best choice for well-earned shore leave for Shepard and his psychotic band of misfits. So let the alcohol, bad decisions, touching romances, and destruction of public property begin. Pic is a crop of Guardian Angel by RiptideX1090 from DeviantArt.

Music reviews
Music can be a powerful thing. Words take on a whole new meaning when combined with a simple rhythm and tune. So it shouldn't be any surprise that it plays a part in the lives of Tali'Zorah and Commander Aaron Shepard. All it takes is a piece of wood and metal to make an impression on their hearts. Starts of mid-ME1, ends early ME2. Cover pic: Shyailu of DeviantArt. Enjoy!

The Citadel Date Tali Deserved reviews
One of the biggest complaints about ME3, apart never really seeing Tali's face, is she didn't get time for shore leave with her boyfriend. Here is my way of fixing it. It takes place between the Rannoch campaign and Thessia. Still stays in my little Fanfic universe, which isn't much different from the game.

After waking up from his indoctrination, Shepard is the only one who can still win the war with the Reapers. And after it's over, what then?

An impulse write about Shepard dealing with the changes and betrayals in Mass Effect 2. Taking place just after the Lair of the Shadow Broker, when Liara comes up to visit.

A Surprise Question reviews
After destroying the Cerberus base, the Normandy will need almost fifteen hours to get to Earth. Shepard and Tali head up to the loft to sleep.

Tali's Hangover reviews
A short little story for Tali and Shep. After Horizon ME3 Horizon, obviously , Tali gets blind drunk in the lounge. The story picks up there.

The Devil and the Unbreakable Team reviews
A small "epic poem," as it's called, about Shepard, Tali, and Garrus. They're names aren't there, but you can tell who is who. Putting the names in just made it lose something.

Biography of Tali'Zorah from a Paragon, Talimancer reviews
A biography of Tali'Zorah, from her childhood until Mass Effect 3. The last two paragraphs are "what if" about Shepard and Tali after the war for Earth. They ignore the end on the Citadel, just as a warning. I like my end better. Cover pic is a screenshot from ME2 of my Shepard romancing Tali.
