“Come on, Kara!” calls an excited Alice, darting forward into the crowd. Kara keeps her hold on her hand, but is tugged forward a few steps. Kara laughs. “Slow down Alice. There’s no way Luther can fit through the same gaps in this crowd as you.” She smiles at me, walking beside her, and I return it. Alice looks up at me with pleading eyes. “But Jerry’s stall is just up ahead!” One of the benefits of my height is being able to see over the crowds at this amusement park, and I easily spot Jerry about 50 feet ahead. He’s manning one of the carnival games, standing in front of it and excited

It’s a tight squeeze. I don’t think this crawl space was designed to fit a fully decked out marine. I guess I shouldn’t complain though- I have no idea how Wrex is even managing to move behind me. “If you had told me this morning that a toothbrush was going to save the Normandy, I’d have been very skeptical,” says Lola, crawling along in fronts of us. At least I can’t complain about the view. I feel the pull of the ship as she leaves dry dock; it seems we made it on board just in time. I can hear the mercs moving around above us as we approach the CIC. Joker is going to be so pissed. “Pret

I study my reflection in the full length mirror, nervous fingers smoothing the fabric of my dress for what feels like the millionth time. I'm happy with the image I see. A softer woman than what I'm used to stares back at me. My dress certainly helps with that. It's a strapless satin gown with a sweetheart neckline, fitted through my hips then falling gently to kiss the floor. Swarovski crystals are sparkling across the bodice, concentrated at the neckline and fading out by my hips. I have a feeling Kasumi might have had a hand in finding those, though she had nothing to do with my jewelry. Annie's given me a set of family heirloom diamond ea

    I'm barely off the ladder before there are projectiles flying at my head. It seems these Mercs don't know when to cut their losses. Although, since they agreed to go after Shepard in the first place I guess they weren't ever very bright.    Lola takes cover behind a crate, charging her biotic flare. She peeks her head around the corner, getting a quick mental picture of their layout, and then launches it. Half a second later I feel the rush of energy as it explodes, taking out 2 mercs and knocking down 3 others.    Wrex grins. "That's more like it."    I have to admit, after being trapped in a vault to die the mercs screams are making

BEWARE!    I roll over and stare at Evie Ryder, asleep in her bed- our bed. I trace the lines of her face with my eyes, tempted to follow with my fingers, but unwilling to wake her. Poor thing needs her sleep, especially after how late I kept her up last night. Side note- is there ever actually a "night" in space? Never mind, that's a train of thought for another time.    For now, I'm happy here ju

Title: My Herald's Ball Author: Phsbarbie (Natasha Poe) Game: Dragon Age Inquisition Characters/Pairings: Cullen and Female Inquisitor Disclaimer: Dragon Age Inquisition and all it's characters are the intellectual property of Bioware/EA.   The most finely dressed lords and ladies in Orlais flit around me, reminding me for all the world of preening peacocks. They flutter their eyelashes, fluff their hair, and toy with their masks. It’s all I can do not to roll my eyes. I attempt to block out their ceaseless prattle and search the ballroom anxiously. Skyla’s been in the servant’s quarters far too long. She should’

    I knew I hated that bitch, I snarl silently to myself, glaring as Brooks drapes an arm over the clone's shoulders. I'd like nothing more than to reach out and wipe that smug look off her face, but, unfortunately, I can't. I'm trapped by a force field. In a storage pod. About to be sealed away forever. I'd probably feel a whole lot stupider if Wrex and Shepard weren't trapped beside me.    As it is, Lola is seething, her eyes promising murder. The clone either doesn't notice or doesn't care; both stupid moves on her part. She's too busy bragging about her perfect plan to notice Lola is pissed but not worried. I have no idea why. I guess

It's pretty good, if I say so myself. I have had ten years to practice it. And I have practiced it, until it's just the right tone to let whoever I'm addressing know I mean business.    My queen, however, simply snorts, not bothering to look up from her packing. "I find it funny that you thi

Mira strides through the courtyard below, her gait assured and her bearing one of authority, as always. Today, however, she's leaving smothered laughter and smiles in her wake.    Traveling behind her, trying very hard to behave, is Da'len, the Mabari pup I gave to her last week. You'd expect a Ma
