Work In Progress Wednesday Thursday
Another much appreciated poke from @greypetrel​ <3
I woke up this morning to a new comment on my virus outbreak Mass Effect Andromeda AU. It’s been a while since I’ve worked on it, but here’s a never before snippet of the next chapter...
Tumblr media
(This is very much a WIP, completely raw. All details subject to change, but I like this scene nonetheless.)
He took a deep breath and felt relieved that at least the days on Aya were warm. This facility easily could've been on Voeld, leaving them severely more ill-equipped. Here, they only had to stay warm during the night. An unbidden memory flashed in his mind's eye. Reyes had taken him to his private home on Kadara, a cabin nestled in the highest mountain peaks. He was drinking a steaming cup of coffee on the balcony, watching it snow for the first time in over six hundred years when Reyes walked out to meet him, draped a soft quilt over his shoulders, and then snuggled against him. It was a perfect moment. At least for the forty-five seconds it lasted before Reyes got a phone call that couldn't wait.
Scott ran a hand over his face and felt the beginning of stubble on his chin. He didn't pack a razor. Why didn't he pack a razor? Not important. He shook his head and moved on, "Jaal and Reyes, I need you both to try and contact your own people. I doubt your comms are any less scrambled from the storm, but it's worth a try."
Everyone left to their designated duties. Scott laid down, his back cracking as he stretched out. He finally had peace and quiet, finally had a few minutes to himself.
"Pathfinder?"
Almost to himself.
"Yes, SAM?" He tried not to think anything unfair about SAM. It wasn't his fault they were inexplicably linked.
"If we are able to find a working computer, I may be able to determine the severity of our situation."
"Right. Okay." He stood, lamenting the ten seconds of rest, before he grabbed a flashlight and ventured into the dark.
He wound his way through dark hallways, making turns randomly. Or, what he thought was random until he noticed the thrum of a familiar voice. Scott wasn't able to make out whatever Reyes' was saying, but he could tell by the low and terse sounds that Reyes was frustrated. Possibly even angry. He tried to follow the sound, each turn exposing eerily identical laboratories and offices. Maybe he should've been marking the walls to make sure he found his way back. Scott turned around, listening hard. Reyes had gone silent. Totally lost without a voice to follow, Scott turned to the left and walked as fast as he could without breaking into a run.
He slammed into a warm body. Slowly, he dragged his eyes up from the familiar flight suit to Reyes' warm brown eyes.
"Fancy meeting you here," Reyes chuckled, his hands coming up to rub Scott's shoulders. "Aren't you cold?"
Scott stumbled out of Reyes' reach. "Who were you talking to?"
"What?" Reyes' eyes widened, slight confusion written on his brow.
"I heard you talking to someone. Did you make contact with anyone? Does anyone know we're here?" Scott wasn't in the mood to play. He just wanted a straight and honest answer for once.
Reyes' brow dipped in confusion. He turned in a slow circle, looking behind him. "I got turned around. I must've been talking to myself, trying to figure out which way to go. This place has more twists and turns than the Collective." As soon as the word was out of his mouth, Reyes stiffened. Wary brown eyes tracked Scott's expression.
While hearing Reyes talk about the Collective was the last thing Scott wanted, he had more important things to concern himself with. Like contacting the outside world, what they were going to eat, whether or not they'd freeze to death before the sun came back up...
"Whoa, slow down there," Reyes cocked his head, his hand extended awkwardly between the two of them. Like being hit with a bag of hammers, Scott realized they were alone. In a dark hallway. Flashes of memories left him gaping at the man in front of him. Soft kisses, nervous touches, desperate bucking on top of multiple layers of clothes...
Scott turned on his heel and stalked down the hallway. There was no time for any of that, either.

N7 Month Day 6: Meal
(AO3 Link - Doing some Andromeda prompts this year! Ryder tries to cook.)
Reyes was woken up by the sound of pots and pans clanging together coming from his kitchen. He opened his eyes to find the other side of his bed empty, and he reached out to touch the sheets - cold, so Ryder had been up for a while. At a muffled curse, he threw on a pair of sweatpants and padded out to the living area of his prefab. "Rosetta?"
"Hm?" she answered from inside one of the low cabinets. Her long lilac braid was mussed from sleep, and he couldn't help a smile at the sight. He always liked what she looked like after they spent the night together. Still, he asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm- Ow." She bumped her head on the top of the cabinet and clutched at the spot, sitting back on the floor. "Fuck."
Reyes tsked and knelt down next to her. "Let me see."
"It's fine," Ryder tried to wave him off. "I was trying to make breakfast until your kitchen tried to off me."
"Yes, it's all the kitchen's fault." He held back a chuckle. "Now let me see. I've had enough threats from your crew to know better than to send you back in anything less than mint condition."
She groaned but removed her hand. "Seriously? They couldn't leave well enough alone?"
"They weren't necessarily wrong," he said, parting her hair to check for blood. "I'm very dangerous, you know." He hissed when he found the wound. "Now, this needs medi-gel. Stay right there, and then I'll make breakfast."
"If you insist," she sighed.

Alec Ryder.
A veteran galactic explorer.
Tumblr media
He enlisted as an Alliance soldier at a young age and was immediately distinguished by his great skills. For this reason he was chosen as a member of the special task force that took part in the historic journey through the Charon mass relay. He and the rest of the crew, led by Jon Grissom, were the first humans to explore the unknown beyond the Solar System. It's thanks to their heroic deeds that humanity has been able to expand and flourish in the Galaxy, and without their efforts we would never have gotten this far.
Tumblr media
Back on Earth, Alec Ryder would go on to further prove his mettle. His experience and his determination have made him a perfect candidate for a new special training, later be known as the N7 Program, solidifying himself as one of the first members of Alliance military's elite. Few people can boast this title and he's been a beacon and inspiration for many of them. He later gave maximum proof of this value by fighting on the front lines during the First Contact War, which reached its peak during the siege of Shanxi.
Tumblr media
Yet few in humanity remember his deeds. His controversial AI research and experimentation, illegal under Council law, resulted in a dishonorable discharge from the Alliance military and his memory was discredited. He later found himself fighting a lone battle, but in spite of his disgrace he did never give up, and it was thanks to his project that he was chosen to lead the Andromeda Initiative alongside Jien Garson. Without the SAM technology we could not have guaranteed a future for all species in this Galaxy.
Tumblr media
But above of all of this… he was my father.
I owe him everything. I wouldn't be here now without him. The things my father taught me made me a better woman and the Pathfinder you needed most. I hope my father knows that the seeds he sowed are still growing. He showed me how it feels to feel the sky within my reach and I always will remember all the strength he gave to me. I'll keep a part of him with me and everywhere I am, there he'll be.
Tumblr media
He will never be forgotten.
Once he said that when his time came, he wanted to go out among stars no one had seen before. Somewhere... there's a star that's shining so bright that I can see him smile. Thanks dad, for everything.

Imagine being a part of the All American Girl's Professional Baseball League (A. A. G. P. B. L.) and being friends with Bucky and Steve during WWII. Playing for the Peaches and seeing Bucky and Steve in the stands. Getting married to Bucky and writing to each other. He sends you his dog tags, although he's not supposed to. Shortly after you get the news of his "death." You continue playing until 1953 when you retire and volunteer to be the only woman injected with the serum. It doesn't do much to you, only makes you look young for years after.
Jumping to Bucky and Steve watching the news one day, seeing news about the A. A. G. P. B. L. being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Their hearts ache, thinking you're an old lady, but you're not.

Unresolved by Phoenike, private published edition bound by me.
This was my first bookbinding project, and I definitely learned a lot from it! My next one will probably be hardcover and I’m excited to see how that goes :-)

Drabble Prompt: Trouble
(AO3 Link - Ryder ponders the trouble she's in.)
The night after Sloane's party, Ryder stared up at the ceiling in her cabin, wondering just what she was getting into.
Two fingers rested on her lower lip, the taste of whiskey still on her tongue. Whiskey and…
Shena might as well have meant "trouble" - she knew that, even without the warnings she'd been given by some of her crew.
And yet. And yet she only found herself wanting to keep following Reyes down whatever rabbit hole he was leading her to.
She licked her lips. Only trouble could taste that good. But she'd never let that stop her before.

finished showing my parents ds9 tonight. after it was over, my mom shared the following takes:
“they were our friends”
her least favorite thing in the whole series was jadzia dying
her second least favorite thing was that "dukat didn’t bite it earlier and nerys didn’t get to do it"
she loved that they weyouns keep reappearing
she didn’t love sisko at the beginning but after a couple seasons he grew on her
she thought the wire was “one of the most interesting” episodes on the basis of the whole “especially the lies” thing
she thought it was some bs that jake didn't get any closure with his dad
if she were odo, she would not have gone back to the great link, but at least he got to say goodbye to kira
she then asked my dad what he thought, what his favorite and least favorite parts were. he shared the following take:
“i could be the emissary”
