fics: - Tecum Fugis by Bumphur (M, Vetra/f!Ryder, 51.2k) Vetra Nyx came to Andromeda to escape the fallout of a terrible mistake, but her past has come back to haunt her. And possibly put a bullet in her skull. In a race against time and across star systems, she must put an end to the evil she helped create before it jeopardises the whole Initiative. And if she's going to succeed, she'll have to learn to trust rookie pathfinder Sara Ryder with her darkest secrets. This was a really great slow-burn Vetra romance, more drawn-out than the game has it done, with so much lovely nuance on Vetra and her personality and backstory that we'll alas probably never get.
- A Sensitive Spirit (Just Waiting to Shine) by Stratisphyre (T, Jaal/f!Ryder, 11.8k) The first time Jaal sees Sara Ryder, she’s standing to the left of Sloane Kelly’s throne on Kadara, a M8 tucked into the cradle of her arms—finger close to, but not on, the trigger—and the Pathfinder is doing his utmost to ignore her completely. I'm not super big on the canon version of the Jaal romance because it tends a bit too fluffy for me, so this was perfect: more pining, more angst, and this author's take on Jaal's internal narration is superb. Canon divergence with Pathfinder Alec Ryder, comatose Scott, and exile Sara. Such a delight!!
