Summary
Yesterday the Bioware writers were all fired. In honor of Bioware writers and to put an end to my thinking of Veilguard at all, I’m choosing to write an alternate universe headcanon that will ignore Trespasser and Veilguard.
The name Ashel Telhim comes from two elvish phrases: “Asha’belannar” means “The Woman of Many Years” and “Ir tel’him” means “I’m me again.”
As a woman of many years who wishes to be herself again on the subject of Dragon Age, it seemed fitting. Ashel for me is my choice to express women in a plural form by making up elven grammar. This story will be driven by fictional women who also wish to be themselves again.
“Tel’him” in English as Tell Him was too much to ask me to pass over in wordplay.
This begins somewhere after the end of Inquisition and the death of Flemeth, shortly after the Inquisitor’s spy network has provided the information that Solas is Fen’harel.

Summary
This is in response to a prompt from Shaterina upon reading "The Tyfil" asking for an extension of that AU with these parameters:
They can go do what she said, Sidonis, his mother...
Through those missions she can show him his color doesn't mean what he thinks it means. She can prove to him his value, his worth.I also think it would be awesome if they came up with a new color for the two of them that symbolizes what they are together as a whole, as a unit. After all there is no Shepard without Vakarian, and vice versa.
Of course, I would absolutely adore seeing their relationship bloom as well, because I am such a greedy Shakarian fan. They are my OTP!
Hell, I think it would be amazing if there was some Dom/Sub going on in the bedroom. It could go both ways even. FemShep being Dom, because she is his Avah, or Garrus being Dom, because of their new color. That would be my preference, as it would empower him as well as help him understand their true equality. She is Avah out of the bedroom, but he is [enter equivalent title here] in the bedroom.

Summary
This is a continuation of the story "Of Kittens and Broken Things" from an idea generated in the chapter "Trial and Error" where Drala'tem and Senar imagine what they would do with time travel.
This is what they would do. First they had to create time travel. That took up a lot of time.
This is an AU, reading "Of Kittens and Broken Things" first would be recommended.

Summary
This is an inadvisedly darkly romantic alternate universe of my Mass Effect piece "Of Kittens and Broken Things" after Chapter 13 that became "Broken Thing" and now I'm splitting off from that after Chapter 1 because my hand slipped for a month or so. Spoiler alerts for both of those pieces. Read "Of Kittens and Broken Things" up to Chapter 13 and "Broken Thing" up through Chapter 1 to understand the plot setup for this.
You can read it without reading those, but there might be a big percentage of clueless "What is going on here?" that may or may not be relieved by reading those pieces. Senar and Cara live in the 'what is going on here?' space.
There's terminology, lore and mythology from other pieces of my work describing Thane's background so I'll put some setup spoilers and new/old words in the notes.
This is the result of Senar rapping "shave and a haircut" on my brain's door for a while with me unwilling to give the final two knocks until he had come up with something really good to justify my hand slipping. Again.
Here's a word from "Delicate Subject" that does not show up in this story except in spirit. Turian word - Invas'nam - A truth held so close to the heart that the tongue cannot reach.

Summary
A colony slaughtered, it's citizens transformed. A Spectre dead as well, and the Geth suddenly, unexpectedly far past the Perseus Veil.
Garrus Vakarian took Saren's actions on Eden Prime very personally. He dropped his entire life in the recycler for a chance at answers, and preferably justice.That's not normal. Unless, perhaps, the losses and betrayals were personal.
Maybe... they were.
Begin the tale of Mass Effect a little early, starting in 2167, T-16 years until Eden Prime.
A story of talented people who are divergent, alien, heroes of their own stories, and victims of the times. Featuring: Caffeine addictions. Everyday life as a Spectre. Unconventional interrogations. Boring council meetings. Old frenemies. Ancient artifacts. Life after death. The people behind the legends. Bullets. Many, many bullets.

Summary
Jane feels crazy. It's a tightness in her chest as she watches Garrus stalk across a battlefield. It's that she's pretty sure he smelled her on the elevator. It's a lot of things all at once on top of saving the galaxy (again) and she can't stop the way it makes her feel. She can't control what he does to her.
So she resolves herself to the crazy, to this feeling dug so deep not even Cerberus could take it out.
That doesn't mean she won't freak out, but only a little.Bookmarked by Recidiva
