Little 1-pager thingy about my (barely non-canon) ryder stalling abt reyes after being dragged into therapy because I love em both :b

This was mildly inspired by @phoenike ‘s work “Unresolved” on ao3, an amazing piece of writing I urge you to read if you like the ship!!

+ textless version and Lexi Closeup under here

🎶Oh, qué sensación sentí cerca de ti

Al besar yo tus labios mi corazón latió

Creí que no eras real, pero ya me convencí

Que eres mía hasta la eternidad🎶

"Were you expecting someone else?"

REYES VIDAL in MASS EFFECT ANDROMEDA.

Here we go, my running list of Dragon Age and Mass Effect fan fics that I've truly loved. (updated May 11, 2025) DRAGON AGE

Anders x Female Hawke

This Night by Rhiannon87 (quickie (5K+ words), plot and gentle smut, finished) I'm a "then we'll be fugitives together" girlie, but I do love this post-game reunion between Hawke and Anders. If I did send him away (NEVER!), this is how I would want them to come back together.

for who would lose, though full of pain, this intellectual being by angel_deux (shmedium (25K+ words) AU, mostly plot with mention of activities, finished) I will never get over how TRAGIC Hawke's story is. An AU where Anders is made TRANQUIL and then brought back again by the Inquisitor. Also featuring fellow feathered boy Cullen in a prominent role.

Aftermath by Katuary (medium (50K+ words), mostly plot, finished) I feel VERY strongly that Hawke and Anders are the only DA couple that would go on to have a child. My favorite take on a post-game, on-the-run Handers so far.

Solas x Lavellan

Apotheosis by KeeperLavellan (long (100K+ words), plot and smut, finished) This is, so far, my favorite characterization of Solas and how I imagine a significant-age-gap relationship would truly play out. Stays mostly true to the game with a few great deviations - plus a wonderful Dorian!

-------

MASS EFFECT

Kaidan Alenko x FemShep

And All The Stars Between Us by missadriella (long (100K+ words), plot and smut, finished) I can't believe this is missadriella's one and only fic!! A great overview of Shenko throughout the games and then a bit after too. This line makes me ;-; - "I could never leave you behind," she says, her voice breaking. "You know that."

Priority: Leviathan by Whimsyy (shmedium (25K+ words), plot and pining, work in progress) EEP I'm loving this reimaging of the Leviathan DLC. Exes Kaidan and Shep have to work together (thanks Udina) - lots of pining and fluffy flashbacks!

Time and Again by sevanderslice (one shot, plot only, finished) makes me WEEP - short and sweet reunion of Kaidan and Shep post-destroy ending.

Reyes Vidal x Female Ryder

Santa Sarita: Patron Saint of a Third Rate Smuggler by HIMluv (XL (250k+ words), has plot and smut, unfinished) Crying, screaming, throwing up about how GOOD this fic is. All of the chapters are good but Sanctified in particular has both great plot and DELICIOUS slow burn / pining. I'll never get over it.

The incredible @beemot drew Reyes Vidal and Cerys Ryder in a special moment from my fic Saints and Liars.
