Author has written 15 stories for Dying Light, Resident Evil, Elder Scroll series, and Destiny.

Aiming to misbehave responsibly since '82. Might be caught writing, lurking about its favourite places on the web, or enthusiastically playing its favourite games.

Don't be shy to strike up a conversation! Here or there, don't matter. Me and my stories aren't going anywhere, and I love engaging with my readers about them. If you end up actually liking my writing and think I'd be a match for beta-ing something for you, feel free to ping me about that, too :)

Current Projects:

Hiareth, a Destiny story focused around a Guardian and her Ghost. Expect a Guardian who isn't quite like the others, but a Ghost who kind of wishes she was. And yet he can't help but love her.

Completed Projects:

Latchkey Hero, a Dying Light canon divergent story-- centered around Kyle Crane and Zofia Sirota. It's meant to shed more light on Harran and the survivors trapped within it. Expect less video game, but a lot more human. Both the good and the bad, the gentle and the evil.

A Valiant Remedy, a Resident Evil / Shielding Thing Crossover-- centered around Chris Redfield and Sadja Shielding, taking place during the 6 months in which Captain Redfield lost himself to drink and grief after the events of Edonia in Resident Evil 6. This is a crossover with my original work.

Projects on Hiatus:

Thousand Mile Night, a collaborative Elder Scrolls project, written with Maverick-Werewolf. Heavily focused on werewolves, because that is how we roll.

All projects are heavily focused on OCs, and I understand that this isn't everyone's cup of tea. I'd still love for anyone to go give them at least a chance. Who knows, maybe you'll like them. And if you do, I'd be immensely delighted to hear from you.

Earthborne by Mixed Valence reviews
Driving in the rain is dangerous - your car could hydroplane, or, if it's really not your day, plane into another universe entirely. The second was what happened to me. Fates self-insert.

The Parting Glass by StopTalkingAtMe reviews
Let's get something straight before we begin: almost everything you have ever heard about the missing Count of Anvil is a lie. Most likely you believe I spent the final decade of the Third Era shacked up with a mistress wherever it is that faithless Colovian men go to hide from their heartbroken Colovian wives, but the truth is rarely that simple. This story is the truth. Sort of.

Hero x Villain by RaidenF reviews
Yes, Hero x Villain, that is correct. A hero and a villain fall in love with each other. But as normal people. They don't know about each other's actual job. And it doesn't seem like they've figured it out. [Oneshot][OC paired with OC]

Hiraeth reviews
He is a Ghost who likes to dream. She's a Guardian who wishes she didn't. When he found his Guardian, all he could think of was how they'd be great together. How they'd be heroes. Make a difference. Those sorts of things. But what he hadn't expected was just how badly he'd mess up. Because she remembers. Her name. Her death. And everything she lost.

The fall of Harran robbed man of its humanity, and Zofia Sirota of her innocence.

Either that, or he's about to make things a whole lot worse. [Dying Light 2 compliant]

Breathe reviews
There's a bushel of flowers on the kitchen table, a note wedged into the pretty mess of fiery colours. Something-something Valentine, it reads, and now she's gone from slightly puzzled to absolutely gobsmacked. Redfield doesn't do flowers, she'd always thought. Well. She isn't exactly wrong.

Before Harran reviews
Latchkey Hero extras. Read for Season 3! Kyle Crane loves his job, and he's damn good at it. Obviously, since he's still around to take contracts, and when the GRE approaches him for one very particular deployment, he finds it very hard to say no. But how do you prepare for Zombies? It's not like there's a ton of handy training material available, so Kyle decides to improvise.

Home is where the heart is. Where your wifi auto connects, and your fridge has got a full row of eggs stocked, and none of that low-fat-bs-milk. Mostly though, home's where Chris Redfield wanders without gear on his shoulders, and I get to label him as I see fit.

Pint Sized Wordsoup reviews
Chris Redfield contemplates home without those he's lost. Kyle Crane pranks his way through the B.S.A.A. And Piers Nivans dabbles in Christmas bakery. All that and more, in my contributions to the continued Pint Sized prompts challenges run on /r/fanfiction, meant to produce drabbles between 100 to 400 words long. I may not get to them all, but I'll try to fill as many as I can.

Pint Sized Wordsoup: Love and War
Chris Redfield can't wrap his head around being alive, Kyle Crane thinks everyone is a bully and spoilsport, and Sadja continues to fail at how to human.. All that and then some as the prompts continue! Love and War is the theme this month, and I will try to dedicate as many as I can to Resident Evil, though it'll likely include a mix of Dying Light and a Shielding thing as well.
