3. Favourite line/scene I wrote this year:

This transition scene from Moments (Reyes x Ryder fic) always makes me laugh:

Besides, he was looking forward to spending a little more time alone with the Pathfinder.

It might even be fun...

Reyes was not having fun.

14. A fic you didn't expect to write:

Pfft. Any of them. This time last year, I was considering deactivating my Tumblr and walking away from the Mass Effect fandom. Then @binaryjayne happened to leave a review on one of my fics and... even though I'd been on hiatus for years and hadn't read any reviews in years due to my burnout and guilt spiral, I opened it, and the review absolutely made my day. It just clicked that I love writing. I miss writing. So i came back.

Starting November 1st

trinode wanted some james and kaidan dancing, because they would be super caliente on the dance floor. and since this is my not-so-secret headcanon, i had to oblige. art by trinode! 

MOVES LIKE VEGA

‘So, James,’ Shepard said, ‘how’d you do it?’

‘I’ve got my moves, Loco,’ James replied. Complete with I’ve-got-my-moves chest-level hand roll and everything.

He wasn’t kidding. A guy like James had his own fair share and somebody else’s. All of them were suited to a guy who had to be part krogan in there somewhere. But if James was using those big-shouldered moves on Kaidan—throwing him the patented James Vega puppy-dog eyes and everything—in order to sweet-talk him into going to Purgatory for the first time when all of Shepard’s previous, if convoluted, attempts had failed… Well, then James and Shepard were going to have a problem.

‘Relax,’ James said, pounding Shepard on the shoulder while Shepard fought off the customary James-related wince. ‘I just told him Scars was gonna be there, number one; number two, that you’d buy him something classy off the big shiny bar list; and number three, that he might just get to see you dance.’

‘Uh-uh,’ Shepard said. ‘Not going to happen, James. I’m still recovering from the last time he saw me out on the floor. I had to be dead for two years to get past that one.’

James chuckled. ‘So it’s a different kind of show—so what? A guy like the major… I bet he’s got some moves of his own.’

‘Yeah,’ Shepard said. ‘Probably. Think I can get one of my Citadel VIs to sub in for me?’

James didn’t even bother to pretend they wouldn’t do a better job than the real deal. ‘Nineteen hundred, Loco. And try not to be so on time this time, you know? Just a friendly suggestion. Mano a mano.’

‘And now I’m headed to the bano,’ Shepard replied.

He really had to stop doing that.
