Author has written 2 stories for Mass Effect.

Economist (most of the time), lover of fantasy and science fiction (all of the time).

My work will be Mass Effect related, notably the Broshep/Liara romance. While there's a lot of great ME Fan Fiction, the amount of top-level writing dealing with that particular pairing is alarmingly low when compared to the sheer number of stories for other plot combinations (not naming names but glaring in the general direction of the Talimancers). Mass Effect often sacrificed depth in favour of scope, so I'll also endeavour to flesh out a lot of plot points that were either quickly tied up, or just not explored as fully as they could/should have been.

Works:

Mass Effect: Salvation (Complete, 144,000 words, 14/14 chapters complete) - expanded, in-depth, more detailed telling of Mass Effect 1 - Shepard/Liara. The story has been published in full. Minor editing and revisions ongoing.

Mass Effect: Resurrection (Draft in Progress, 116,000 words. 2/7 Acts complete) - a seven-act bridge between Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2, focused on a hugely-expanded telling of Liara's struggles between the two. Back in the works after a long break due to ME burnout, real life, and writers' block. Acts I and II done, Act III in progress.

Mass Effect: Coda by DasSchneids reviews
Because we deserved a better ending. A real ending. One that shows the impact of our choices. Title lovingly ripped off from an absurdly long reddit rant by an understandably irate fan base. Let me know what you think in the reviews.

Mass Effect: Interregnum by The Naked Pen reviews
The Battle of the Citadel has been won. Saren Arterius is dead. Commander Shepard is dead. Garrus Vakarian isn't. Alone on Omega among slavers, murderers, mercenaries, insane warlords and the worst of the galaxy's criminals, he does the only thing he can: declares war. The Archangel legend is born, but angels can fall. Nothing's ever easy...

From the Ashes by NotCras reviews
The Reapers are defeated and the celebrations are over. Shepard has been dragged in to help with reconstruction but a new challenge presents itself. Something Shepard can't win on his own. A continuation of the A Little Ship in Space's story.

Mass Effect: Resurrection reviews
Saren Arterius is dead. Shepard is dead. Liara T'Soni isn't. The dark figures of the galaxy's underworld cast a long shadow, one that will force Liara to venture deep into the Terminus Systems to recover that which she loves, to save two souls, and to confront a horrifying reality: Saren was only the beginning. A seven-act bridge between Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2.

Mass Effect: Salvation reviews
Galactic peace balances on the tip of a knife, as an ancient evil rises again. It threatens to engulf the races of the galaxy, and only one man can stop it. But that man is broken, beaten, and scarred. The first in a six-part saga of the life and legend of Commander John C. Shepard.
