Every Aedan Shepard story that is (roughly) polished and set in time is collected in series under L’essai et Repose over at Ao3.  It’s evolving constantly at the moment, though most of the stories currently published will only go through a little polish editing  as I rework them into the arc.

Thanks for reading!

Adding some tumblr stories for Aedan and the L’essai et Repose ‘verse here, prompts and such.

Prompts:

temerate (pre ME1)

meet cute (pre ME1)

affection (late ME1)

Felt that it’s important to share videos like this too.

The world wants us to forget that they are people.

People who dance and play and smile just like you and I.

And it’s important to share things like this, to remind them the world that they are human.

The aliens are gonna be so confused when humans first board their ships and start doing this, and by GOD I hope at least one of them is going to have a camera when it happens.

I’m as in love with this commission I got from @hanatsuki89 as Major Kaidan “Heart Eyes” Alenko is with Commander Zoe Shepard.

Admiral Hamster, however, has duties to attend to on the Normandy.

Thank you so much for your wonderful work, @hanatsuki89 !!! I am looking forward to working with you again in the future. ;)

Some background: Zoe Shepard is a Colonist/War Hero and Alliance Infiltrator whose hardened/guarded heart was biotically warped by her Lieutenant during ME1, remaining his from the moment she realized she’d fallen. Fighting without him by her side always feels wrong. It’s a bit of a miracle that Kaidan fights as well as he does with those hearts in his eyes though.

A section of 19th century cursiveALT

Can you read this?

Yes (or mostly), and I learned cursive in school

A few words, and I learned cursive in school

No, and I learned cursive in school

Yes (or mostly), and I didn’t learn cursive in school

A few words, and I didn’t learn cursive in school

No, and I didn’t learn cursive in school

English was not my language of schooling/see results

Reblogging to increase sample size. There tends to be a lot of debate/discussion about the necessity of teaching cursive in school so I’m curious about this one.

@jaderavenarts it’s part of a pension case I worked on transcribing for a national archives project. Someone was not given a pension on the grounds that he had deserted to the British army, and his argument was that he had been captured and conscripted against his will. The government claimed essentially that he was there for too long and thus didn’t try very hard to escape.

This is the testimony of a British soldier stating that he had indeed been part of capturing the guy.

Omg what a wild claim! It’s so cool to see how much info can be gleaned from pension records, they were a great source for me when writing about the Battle of Harlem Heights and Thomas Knowlton’s eldest son Frederick Knowlton. Thank you for sharing your work!

His glance brushes past her lips and it’s like she’d used cinnamon chapstick instead of her usual. The tingle persists even as she finishes her coffee, as she rinses the cup under the tap. Kaidan’s well out of the mess and she’s moved on to a datapad spread of reports when it occurs to her. It’d be nice. A kiss in the morning to book end that last kiss before he left her.
