Author has written 16 stories for Mass Effect, Elder Scroll series, Dragon Age, Fallout, and Witcher.

We authors enjoy writing first and foremost, and feel confident enough to upload our work to this site (and others) for people to read. And while we take pride in people choosing to follow and favourite our works, or even us as authors, we also like to hear from our readers in the form of reviews.

Therefore, this author is adopting a new policy going forward regarding any main works I am writing (under the 'Currently Being Uploaded' section). From now on, a new chapter will only be uploaded when a minimum of three reviews are left. And I mean a proper review, not just two words saying 'Good job'. That's not a review. Anyone who simply states 'Waiting for next chapter' or making subtle demands will be ignored. People being sarcastic twats will be told to politely told to find the nearest cliff and jump off. Guest reviews will be accepted, depending on content, but discounted. It takes two minutes to make a profile so I can respond to your review if I deem it appropriate.

I'm one of thousands on this site who spend hours crafting each chapter we upload. You may like the chapter, you may not. But while it takes us time to write a chapter, it only takes a reader a couple of minutes to leave a review.

Currently Being Uploaded

The works below are updated regularly:

Rise of the Dragonborn (Dragon Age II). Sequel to 'Enter the Dragonborn'. I hesitate calling it a crossover. It's just DAII with the Dragonborn hanging around. Completed, just editing before uploading each chapter.

The Promises Saga III: Worth Dying For (Mass Effect III). Third instalment of the 'Promises' Saga. New chapter every so often as this is not a priority work compared to my 'Dragonborn' series.

Currently Being Written, not Uploading

Reign of the Dragonborn (Dragon Age: Inquisition). Sequel to 'Enter the Dragonborn' and 'Rise of the Dragonborn'. Like the first two, it is DA:I with the Dragonborn along for the ride.

On Hiatus

The below are on hiatus due to lack of time, due to focusing on projects above, or writers block:

Across the Sea (Elder Scrolls / Witcher crossover). Written and uploaded an opening chapter. Have ideas of what I want to do, but it's putting all together so that it makes some sort of sense that's the difficulty.

Ashes to Ashes (The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim). Giving the 'Dragonborn' DLC what it deserves, a fully fleshed out story. Different romance to 'Land of My Fathers'.

Champion (The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion). Uploaded one chapter. Have a few ideas of where to take it. Want to get started on this once the 'Dragonborn' series is complete.

Hardtalk (Mass Effect. Shepard / Khalisah). An unusual pairing, fleshing out previously published one-shots.

The Doctor and the Soldier (Mass Effect. Shepard / Chakwas). I give my word to those following it that this will definitely be finished one day. I love the pairing myself!

Future Projects

These are ideas, plans, or just things I have considered writing in the future. Doubtful any will come to fruition.

A Bard's Tale (Dragon Age Trilogy). Covering events of all three games from the viewpoint of Leliana. This possibility excites me the most. Hopefully something different for Dragon Age fans.

The Admiral (Mass Effect III). Covering events of Mass Effect II from the viewpoint of Tali'Zorah vas Normandy.

The Engineer (Mass Effect II). Covering events of Mass Effect II from the viewpoint of Tali'Zorah vas Neema.

In the Name of the Father (Fallout 3). I was trying to write an 'evil' character, or someone you'd root against. But I find it difficult as I generally write 'good' characters.

The Pilgrim (Mass Effect). Covering events of Mass Effect from the viewpoint of Tali'Zorah nar Rayya.

Anything Else

Stop sending requests. I'm not interested in whatever idea you have in your head.

Completed Stories

Enter the Dragonborn (Elder Scrolls / Dragon Age: Origins crossover.) Thought it was a good piece of work though somewhat smutty in places. I would hesitate calling it a crossover. It was DA:O with the Dragonborn around.

Give Me the Night (Mass Effect One-Shot. Shepard / Khalisah al-Jalani.)

Give Me the Week (Mass Effect One-Shot. Sequel to 'Give Me the Night'.)

Land of My Fathers (The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim.) The work I'm most proud of.

Promises Made, Promises Kept (Post Mass Effect 3.) This was the first story I wrote. Wasn't too bad, I think. Very rose tinted and sugary sweet though.

The Promises Saga: Search for Saren (Mass Effect.) Probably not as bad as I think it is, but a bit by the numbers. If I had the enthusiasm, I'd do a few revisions.

The Promises Saga II: Hunters and Collectors (Mass Effect II.) Better than the above, or at least I think so.

Abandoned Works

Identity (Fallout: New Vegas). Wrote myself into a corner and simply lost inspiration to complete the job.

Ship of the Line (Mass Effect). Enjoyed the premise, had ideas, but I just don't have the time for such an ambitious project. Might restart at a later date.

After Shepard is killed, Liara is left alone. She knows the galaxy is in danger, but what can one former archaeologist do against the threat of the Reapers? Maybe nothing, but Shepard's lover has learned not to give up too easily. Science fiction, adventure, intrigue, and a dash of romance.

Mass Effect: The First War by ProfFartBurger reviews
The Prothean Ruins weren't. They contained little more than mentionings of an Alien Society; as a result, humanity develops on a completely different path than what was intended, and when first contact is made not with the Turians, but a desperate, destitute race viewed as beggars and thieves, how will this dying race change Humanity? And how will Humanity change the Galaxy? *A/U!*

Centuries after the end of the Reaper War, a respected asari scientist and political leader tells the story of her youthful adventures with the legendary Shepard. Fighting to save the galaxy is one thing, but figuring out human motivations can be much harder. Science fiction, action-adventure, and a romance on slow burn.

Ashes to Ashes reviews
A semi-retired Dragonborn is dragged into events away from his homeland after being attack by members of a strange cult. From Whiterun he travels to Solstheim, dragging his beaten and battered body into battle once again. (As I cannot choose the character, this will be an M!Dragonborn / Frea romance.)

Champion reviews
The story of the Champion of Cyrodiil, or the Hero of Kvatch, is long and much has passed into myth, as all legends do. What you are about to read might be fact, or could be nothing but myth itself. It has been so long, a melding of fact and fiction is always inevitable...

Uhtred was a farmer who dreamed of being a hero-warrior, of winning honour and glory in battle before joining his father in Sovngarde. Instead, he travels to Skyrim and finds himself embroiled in situations out of his control, towards a destiny he could never have comprehended in his wildest dreams. Action / adventure to start though there will be an element of romance eventually.

She thought it had just been a one-time thing. Two lonely souls finding each other one night in a bar. She never expected him to appear on her doorstep. She never expected that he'd want to be with her. She never expected to fall for him in return. (Sequel to 'Give Me the Night'.)

Covering events regarding Mass Effect II. Shepard returns from death to work for the organisation he despises most. Putting together a rag-tag bunch of misfits, he reunites with the women he loves and ends up saving the day, because that's just what Commander Shepard does. Endless amounts of Shepard and Tali fluff in addition to other romances, great banter and my sort of humour.

Give Me the Night reviews
One-shot. Commander Shepard needed time to himself, to simply unwind and not think about everything on his plate. Just five minutes was all he wanted. At the same time, a reporter who had continually given him a hard time searched the same bar to drown her own sorrows, trying to forget everything she had seen. An unlikely connection is kindled when they meet.

The Promises Saga: Search for Saren reviews
Covering events regarding Mass Effect: The Original Game. Warning: It's quite angsty and drama filled in place. You might enjoy it, you might not. Synopsis? Um, Shepard is a man battling demons and personal issues, tasked with saving the galaxy from annihilation. On the way, he meets a quarian he falls for, and builds a small team that will become his friends for life.

Promises Made, Promises Kept reviews
A post-ME3 story. A post-destroy ending. Drama and fluff. Laughter and tears. And, in the end, a simple, and hopefully heart-warming story, of a love between two people. Slightly rose-tinted view of a post-war galaxy. Happily Ever After? Mostly focusing on MaleShep / Tali romance and POV.
