    Summary

    Jane Shepard survives the gutters of a post‑Contact Earth until a flare of emerging biotics pulls her into a Council‑funded research institute on the Citadel. There she meets Spectre Saren Arterius, the turian legend whose stalled hunt for Dr. Qian’s Prothean relic drives him to other means of staunching humanity's advancement: guardianship of the human prodigy. Through shrewd persuasion, he takes on the orphan as his ward, intent on shaping her into a model Spectre for Council display, even as he grips the unseen reins in his talons.

    Saren turns her childhood days into field drills, war‑room simulations, and lessons in diplomatic knife‑work. He controls nearly every aspect of her life, leaving Shepard one private refuge: a risky friendship with hot‑headed cadet Garrus Vakarian — until her almost-father severs that, too. Learning what it means to be a person proves harder than functioning as a tool, yet Shepard can't help but to question her identity. When the long‑silent Reapers finally stir, Shepard must decide whether she is Saren’s instrument, the Alliance’s champion, or something forged in the tight space between obedience and revolt. The galaxy’s stance — kneeling or standing — will turn on her choice.

    Summary

    [Spoilers for the Roathe romance]

    “I gather that I’ve never taken you to my bed,” he says, certain it is true. Her spreading blush, adding the first hint of color to her grey demeanor, is fascinating — the Orokin in their shades of blue never blushed at all after centuries of apathy.

    “There is more to a relationship than sex, Roathe.”

    Now it is his turn to splutter, in disbelief. “Relationship? You mean to tell me that we were involved? Absurd. I might have believed time travel, or that you popped through reality like a bubble, but a relationship? Unthinkable.”

    She stares at him knowingly. “When two people interact over time, it is called a relationship.”

    He frowns, but feels the corners of his lips pulling up against his will. “Well, aren’t we irritating?”

    Summary

    Cozy autumn/Halloween themed fluffy monster romance story with dark academia vibes. Contemporary setting.

    Dr Áine Rohan is an anxious, disorganised, self-professed goth and history nerd who has just relocated to take a dream position as a research fellow and lecturer at Harome University in Willow Vale, a town with the biggest multispecies population in the West Midlands. Unlucky in love, Áine considers herself ‘romantically inept,’ but quickly finds herself nursing a serious crush on the taciturn minotaur man working alongside her in the Faculty of Classics. The stern professor’s behaviour leads Áine to believe that her feelings are unrequited, but as the two get to know one another, she finds she may have been mistaken.

    Not set within the exact Cambric Creek world by C.M. Nascosta but heavily inspired by this series, and by Morning Glory Milking Farm and Blue Ribbon Romance specifically.
