Summary
After her discharge from the Alliance, Commander Helen Trevelyan joined the Andromeda Initiative, wanting to leave her personal tragedies and a psycho ex-boyfriend behind her. She expected to sleep for 600 years, and wake up in a med bay. Instead, she crash-landed on a snow-covered mountain, ten-thousand years later. She is alone, confused, and dying from eezo radiation. And the only sign of civilization is an old church in the distance.
A Post-Modern Girl on Thedas fic.
Many, many thanks to my betas, Dreadlordcherrycake and Duinemerwen, who have advised me on all matters of lore, plausibility and verb tense. If it wasn't for them, this story would still be in cryo. Any mistakes are mine, not theirs.
I have a regular work schedule IRL, which means I don't have a regular update schedule on AO3. This story is visually supported.

Unbelievably amazing story, incredibly compelling characterisation and natural world building. Perfect combinations of drama, fluff, angst, action everything. Simply awesome.

Summary
If someone had told Shepard she'd go from being scourge of the battlefield to a well-dressed ballroom disaster in the blink of a politician's eye, she would have laughed in their faces. But the war has left her nation in desperate need of allies, and an asari heiress needs a charming suitor... Benezia has concerns. Aethyta has feelings. Aria has plans. Tevos just wants to get laid.

Summary
...there are empty spaces between the stars, a cold interstitium of utter dark, where blood runs black and monsters lurk. In the silence something broods, waits, watches. They are patient, constant, relentless. And they are far, far older than the infants now taking their first halting steps across the galactic sand.
The story lies in the telling.
ME:1, on/off screen moments, POVs from everyone listed.
