Bright’s Winter Wonderland 2016 (SWTOR)
It’s the Christmas special not made to drive you insane. A simple premise: Life Day and winter-themed ficlets for every SWTOR companion. Friendship for all! Lana “’Twas the night before Life Day, and all through the base, not a creature was stirring, except for our ace.” Wynston stepped in from the hallway. “The galaxy will…

The Duchesses’ Gifts (Original)
A serial with a troubled development history, TDG is about a trio of girls coming of age in a colony that has lost touch with Earth. These girls have unique gifts that nobody understands yet. Even I don’t understand all of it, I just wrote the daily serial chapters. It leaves off abruptly – I…

Dialogues AU (SWTOR)
I always wanted to know what a Star Wars: The Old Republic Sith Warrior would say to a Jedi Knight. Well, what if she apprehended him for delivery to the Emperor, and their ship was set adrift? He has just a few precious weeks to talk his way out. To bring one more person back…

Leif, Sonia, Veldrian (Dragon Age)
I wasn’t going to do this, but I’ll make an exception: Leif Surana, Sonia Hawke, and Veldrian Lavellan are the main figures in my canonical Dragon Age setting. (Lynesse Mercar is the fourth.) I posted many scenes week by week, but I have no central place you can go to to get their stories. I…

Spoiler Warning: Sith Warrior Sevasht Warwiggins (SWTOR)
Spoiler Warning: Sith Warrior Sevasht Warwiggins (3SWar) was a series of comic strip scripts following the meta savvy Sevasht. He was my LS Warrior with DS Jaesa and resulting shenanigans. A simple retelling of the class line at small novella length, it was modest but fun. Now it exists only on the SWTOR forums and…

Found Wanting (Original)
Found Wanting was my continuation of 1984, set in postapocalyptic Boston. It followed Andrew Hsu, a Thought Cop newly deprived of Party, and Cassandra Montgomery, a teenager being stifled by protective survivors. I have tried to make this a novel and I’ve tried to make this a short story, but it never came together. I…

Cross Faction AU (SWTOR)
Cross Faction is my Star Wars: the Old Republic Trooper’s dark coin flip. If the Imperial Agent framed Elara Dorne for treason just as things were getting good… what would resistance fighter Vierce Savins do? The answer is an Acts 2 and 3 novella AU of obsession and revenge, far from the healing path of…

XP Gained: Bard (Neverwinter Nights 2) 2019
Neverwinter Nights 2 starts slow and snowballs into a classic D&D 3.5 adventure with some truly glorious setpieces. Here began my bard, the original, pre-Veilguard Lynesse. I published a scattering of stories, and I’ll reprint one here. XP Gained on AO3 Lynesse felt her throat constricting when Bishop came into view. She was perched on…

Captain, Cipher, Soldier, Spy (SWTOR)
The irreverent, episodic story was, for a long time, the canonical followup to Ruth Means Compassion. KotFE/ET changed that, but Captain, Cipher, Soldier, Spy, a loosely associated collection of short scenes with no particular endpoint, remains dear to my heart. The remainder of this description contains spoilers for the end of Ruth Means Compassion. Cut…
