She has a few good friends--like Garrus Vakarian--but she's resigned to the fact that she's just not good at deeper connections. And then she meets Thane Krios.

Heads and Hearts: Side Missions by barddoc1992
Fandom: Mass Effect - All Media Types, Mass Effect Trilogy
18 Nov 2024
Summary
For the faithful readers already familiar with my Morgan Shepard/Thane long fic, I have not abandoned Heads and Hearts. But while I get back into practice writing Thane’s voice, I’ve been working on short stories about Morgan’s relationships with other people in her life. These stories will form a series called Heads and Hearts: Side Missions, and I’ll add to the series whenever I have a new story in good enough shape.

Summary
Brynn Bladetongue was trouble. Her smile was more impish than you’d expect for a drow, and she was a little too perceptive for Astarion’s liking. She let herself get dragged into other people’s messes, and she had more magic at her fingertips than even a talented bard should have.
Oh yes, Brynn Bladetongue was trouble: pretty and dangerous, as most pretty things are. Little did he know that Brynn’s particular brand of trouble would become more precious to him than he’d ever dreamed.
***************
In sum: a slow-burn expansion on the Astarion/Tav romance, from Astarion’s POV. This will cover the span of BG3, with rated E smut.

Summary
“You’re burning blue,” Dammon whispers.
Huh? “Huh?”
“You’re burning blue.” He rests his palm on my chest — oh shit, I really am burning blue. I… I’m burning blue, but — but I’m not burning him!
“You’re…” My hand’s fucking shaking as I press it over his. “You don’t feel that? Not even a little singe?”
“Not even a little singe.” His eyebrows do that little mischief-quirky thing. “I told you, I’m good.”
*************
In other words: what if Dammon was the lucky guy who got to end Karlach's ten-year celibacy streak? 🙏 A smut scene written in Karlach's adorable larger-than-life voice.Series

Summary
Thane believed he’d never want another after Irikah.
Had he not failed her, had she still lived, he was certain he never would have felt anything for another woman. Even Shepard.
But he had failed her—Irikah, Kalahira watch over her, may await him on the shore— and Shepard is here, staring him down with her sharp, green eyes and her hair, shining in the blue of the bar back-lighting. Shepard is here, and he knows himself a fool to deny that he very much wants her.

Summary
When Kotallo lost his arm, it was more than just a limb that he had lost. It was his prowess with a bow. It was his utility as a Marshal. His arm was gone, his life a ruin, and nothing would ever be the same.
It did not occur to him that this could be a good thing.
It did not occur to him that he could find new purpose in his life. It did not occur to him that an outlander with hair like blood and a spirit as fierce as blazefire would help him find that purpose.
With Aloy as his witness, Kotallo would find himself again, and nothing would ever be the same.
********************
In other words: a wish fulfillment fic where Aloy and Kotallo fall in love over the course of the game. Canon scenes and dialogue blended and padded out with introspection, cozy conversations, smut, and all the GAIA Gang bonding that we deserved. ❤Series
