Well, I gotta call it a night, but here’s a snippet of the Nocturni WIP

“What do you want?” a raspy, modulated voice calls just as the door lifts high enough to reveal an old, battered shotgun in a tall quarian’s hands. The man wears a suit that looks made from a mismatch of specialty armor on top of his living suit, his broad form holding the weight with ease as if he’s gotten especially used to it. This must be Rael and, if his looks mean anything, he’s spent a long time growing accustomed to the harshness of Omega. He isn’t subtle at sizing Garrus up, his eyes flicking over every inch from behind his yellowed faceplate. “You’re a big bosht, aren’t you?” He glances at Nihlus before looking back to Garrus, the obvious threat. “Don’t matter, I guess. I’ve had a few of you in here ….”

Garrus hums and ducks his head just a fraction, but he knows full well that it doesn’t hide a damn thing at his height. Swallowing, he pulls his mandibles to his jaw and reminds himself why he’s here.

He needs armor if he’s going to find and kill Cydian and every last one of her ‘children.’

Rumbling in attempt to seem less threatening, Garrus nods once. “I hear you can make some impressive armor.” His mandibles flutter as he huffs a derisive laugh and motions himself. “Think you can come up with something for me?”

Rael lowers his weapon slightly, shifting left, then right as he looks Garrus up and down. “Yeah … I can.” He looks around behind Garrus and Nihlus before stepping back and jerks his chin towards the inside of his shop. “Come in and I’ll scan you.”

WIP First Impressions

I was tagged by the lovely @bronzeagelove and I thought ‘how fun!’ I don’t know who hasn’t been tagged, but if you want to do this, feel free!


Rules:

  1. The first sentence of your WIP
  2. The genre
  3. The name & age of your main character(s)
  4. The first bit of dialog in your WIP

I’m going to go ahead and use Umbrus Nocturni for this since it’s the current Google doc open on my computer.

1. The first sentence

Not a single sentence, but it’s a flashback, so I figured I’d add the extra sentence:

“Lieutenant Shepard, I’ve looked at your evaluations sent over by Doctors Slavik and Jain. I agree with their recommendation for discharging you.”

2. The genre

Hm … good one. I’d say most of it is a type of darker themed supernatural with a hint of romance happening soon between two of the main characters. I mean, it has vampire turians, so supernatural just screams at me.

3. The name and age of your main character(s)

Nihlus Kryik: 31 (The games never say his age, but I always see him as older than the other two, but still young enough to need to look to Saren for help at times)

Jaiden ‘Jai’ Shepard: 26

Garrus Vakarian: 24

4. The first bit of dialog

This is technically the same answer as the first question, but here’s a bit more of it:

“Lieutenant Shepard, I’ve looked at your evaluations sent over by Doctors Slavik and Jain. I agree with their recommendation for discharging you.”

“Come on, Captain.” A sigh. “Can’t you put in a good word? Say I’m still fit to serve under you? You requested me before the damn doctor reports.”

“Shepard … I’m going to be blunt with you. I can try to talk to anyone I can to keep you in service, but you have to look me in the eye and tell me you can sleep at night without nightmares.”

“….”

“Shepard ….”

“I can, just give me a chance.”

“Is this with or without the medications? The therapy?” A pause. “You can’t, can you? … I’m sorry, Shepard. I can’t put my neck out for you if I can’t trust that you’re at the top of your game. Not with a clear conscience, not with men relying on you.”

“But sir-”

“I’m sorry ….”

Cassia 🛏 Arcanus 💚 and Saren 🐶 ?

Cassia: 🛏What is their favorite bedroom activity to do with their partner?

I’m going to go with non-sexual things because, to be honest, Cassia is actually more sensual than sexual. Sure, she likes to have sex with Saren (and it’s good), but she likes just being in his company just as much. She wants nothing more than to spend all her time in bed, snuggled up in his arms, and doing nothing at all. Sometimes they talk, sometimes they sleep in, read, watch vids, or just do nothing at all, taking the time together to bask in the loving company.

Arcanus:

💚Are they prone to jealousy?

Arcanus doesn’t get jealous like so many fics illustrate. He doesn’t act out against anyone or anything drastic like getting petty, but he is a little cheeky with how he handles someone flirting with Ellie or her playing a part and flirting back (yes, he’s okay with that because he knows who she comes home to). When the above happens, he likes to get very showy with just who she chose over everyone else. He likes to stick close to her, touching her and making vocal sounds that any turian would easily recognize. He may even lock gazes with whoever was flirting and flaunt by touching her, pulling her against his side or just plain standing really damn close. Too close for mere co-workers or even friends. He’s a little bit of a shit, but Ellie loves it.

Saren:

🐶Are they a cuddler?

Saren cuddles at first because Cassia wants to, but he eventually becomes a fan of having her close. He’s kinda a romantic once he gets used to it, loving the sensory overload when her closeness. Her scent surrounds him when they’re pressed close and he can feel her unconscious vocal purrs and thrumming that most wouldn’t pick up on at a distance. It’s not an easy thing to do to be so close, but her determination in the beginning to find a way has led to the two taking that time to themselves before Saren’s insistence to be doing something finally muscles its way in and he has to get up. Now, she can easily find him and cuddle up and he won’t really struggle too much.

Thanks for the asks!

❤️ (Do they fall in love easily?) for any OC of choice :)

I’m going to go ahead and do this for my ‘youngbloods’ (the twins, Aeson, and Saren) 🙂


Aeson

Aeson is a bit of a romantic. He’s shy, however, so his affection comes very subtly. He admires people easily and trusts perhaps too easily. He looks past faults, seeing them as just another part of someone, and, though he doesn’t really have ‘relationships’ as we know it, he is a good guy even to those he blows off steam with. Usually, he’s a friend first before sexual partner to those he does sleep with. He doesn’t really have a romantic relationship with these people, however, because his heart is already set on Damocles. It has been for a very, very long time. Pretty much since he was old enough to begin to think about that sort of thing. The only thing giving him a bit of a boost in the little things of affection is the fact that they have been inseparable friends since young kids. He isn’t entirely out there with his attraction, but knowing Damo helps him do those little things where anyone else not his best friend would scare him off.

Cassia

Boy, this girl is the typical hopeless romantic. Granted, she’s grown up around her parents who seem to be like two sides of the same coin, but she has a very unimaginable idea of love. She is perfectly capable of having friends, and lots of them, but she never had that immediate love (or even any love for that matter) until it was – corny as it is – love at first sight with Saren. She’s demi, so sex isn’t something huge in her life, but friendship and devotion is. She didn’t initially understand why she was stumbling over herself with him until a friendship formed between them, then she realized she loved him. However, given how emotionally inexperienced Saren is, she hasn’t put standards or expectations on him concerning love. She’s come to the conclusion that, for as long as he wants her around, she will be the best thing he could possibly imagine, even if he didn’t know it.

Damocles

Damocles has come to the conclusion that he won’t find love outside of a familial one. He’s just been burned so long in his life that he’s come to believe no one wants anything to do with him if it involves spending more than the few hours to have sex. He knows people only want him because he is damn good at it, but he doesn’t ignore the fact that there are quite a few who treat the encounter like a last ditch effort and can’t seem to get away or get him away fast enough. How can someone ‘love’ him if they can’t even stand to look at him once they get what they want? He’s set himself up for that pain and doesn’t believe in this undying devotion that is love can include him, so he doesn’t ‘fall in love’ easy at all. In fact, he doesn’t realize it until it practically slaps him in the face that he has, in fact, been in love for quite some time. It just came about subtly and very different from he’s seen in vids.

Saren

Saren, much like many other emotions, doesn’t understand what ‘love’ is outside of a definition. However, from a writer and reader’s view, he falls for Cassia pretty early as well. He cares more for her well being than anyone else, will do pretty much anything for her. In fact, she’s the only one that can get away with some of the things she does to him. For instance, she’s the only one who can actually get him to put down his work and go out – even to a crowd! – while even his own father can’t convince him. He admits she’s important to him before he realizes it’s actually what love is. He also admits a fault that confuses him because he can’t explain why he acted the way he did, and thus, how to fix it. Little does he know you can’t fix love.

Thanks for the asks!

Okay, so I got a request. I’m having some trouble getting back into the writing mood, so how about you send me an ask? It can be about anything, and fic.

I’m particularly working on Nocturni, but if I get the mood for Efflux, I can always jump fics. 🙂

Posted in Uncategorized

This question is for Nocturni. Will Shepard ever have a reason to wear formal wear in the story?

Good question!

Hmm … I honestly don’t know. This fic takes place on Omega and I can’t really see her dressing up unless I wanted to go into some glamorous gathering she needs to blend into. I’m not sure of that, though.

However!

If everything goes well and Nocturni keeps entertaining people, I may move on my plans for another part. That one would definitely take her off Omega and certainly in a place to dress up 😉

Thanks for the ask!

What is Nocturni Garrus mourning the loss of the most after his change?

Actually, he’s being quite vain right now. Okay, I know having your body suddenly look so very different than what you’ve been used to your whole can be really horrific, but he’s being a little bit extreme.

Before having to escape to Omega to flee prosecution for something he did in C-Sec (which I’ll tell in the fic), Garrus was really into his looks. He was the kind of guy to always have his markings with that fresh paint look. He was a bit of a turian baby face, but he took great care of his looks. I don’t know if the term is still being used, but he would be considered a ‘metrosexual?’ I think that’s a good term, at least from what I remember of its definition. He was well groomed, always wore the best looking clothes, kept his waist thin, and made sure his body had that lean, yet strong look.

Being on Omega made him change some of that thinking in order to stay unassuming and safe, but he always remember that he could always go back to how he looked with little effort. Being Archangel may have changed his priorities, sure, but he could still be that turian.

Now, however, there’s just no way to hide his brutish looks. He thinks he looks like an animal instead of a turian. I get it, but he’s starting to imagine people staring at him when, really, Omega could care less.

Good thing Jai is going to come along and love on him. And she certainly likes his new looks too 😉

Thanks for the ask! Sorry it’s a bit long
