A Pain in the Ass: Rhapsody in Ass Major's Codex by M_A_V, Ywain Penbrydd (penbrydd)
Fandoms: Dragon Age - All Media Types
14 Jun 2026

Summary
The Rhapsody Codex is designed to make clearer the places Rhapsody in Ass Major diverges from DA canon, and also to fill in some parts of Thedosian life and culture that are not explored, elsewhere. Some canon divergence has to do with when we started writing this -- right after Inquisition came out, but before any of the DLC or WoT2. Basically, the Rhapsody Codex is a collection of the whats and whys of the series. (And maybe, if you're lucky, a couple of Howes.) This is a work in progress, and will periodically be updated. The codex may move more quickly than the continuity edits, at times.

Summary
Two and a half weeks out of the Holler, Haven realises they've left a smoking trail of destruction in their wake. The curse is broken, and the town and the Scarlets are free of the evils that have beset both for a hundred and fifty years, but the mine is closed until a new shaft can be sunk, and the town is dying without it. Reese and Haven decide to go back and make a go at propping it up a while longer. Haven convinces Tabitha to lend them the old, boarded up storefront on the corner of Main Street, so they can renovate it and open a gallery, hopefully to draw in tourist money.
Everything that can go wrong does go wrong, and on top of that, the building's haunted by two things that might not be ghosts, and the cat that might not be a cat keeps eating things that might not be possums.

Summary
[This fic is part of the Vexation of Spirit series, which is a crossover between Criminal Minds, The X-Files, and Shadow Unit. While only original characters from this series are appearing in this fic, characters, locations, and canon from all of those may be referenced.]
The pins in Kimi's knee have started to grow out, and he's going to need surgery to remove them. But, bringing him back to Idlewood to have it done is off the table. Still, the Anomaly means they've got the only doctors who can be trusted in a room with him, so arrangements have to be made for the surgery to be performed at the Fitzgerald Institute, where he's been more or less isolated from the world for several months. Unfortunately, the nurse they send to set it up is Sage Kirklund, the facility manager's ex.

Summary
Taking things apart, putting them back together... What the hell did Enoch do, and other questions I still don't have answers to! Eight generations of Scarlets, with citations and finger-pointing! What is Sybil up to? Fucked if I know! Probably some yelling about goats, eventually! Probably some yelling about Reese, Wayne, and Teddy, eventually! There is lore, and I'm here to yell about it, complete with clearly labelled speculation and spitballing.

Summary
Can't remember what that place was or why that guy was important? You've come to the right place. The Vex Codex will build slowly, as a companion to the series, with character blurbs, organisation descriptions, and maps, for those moments when you're sure something was important, but you can't remember why.

Vexation of Spirit by Redcodah, Ywain Penbrydd (penbrydd)

09 May 2026
Summary
It all starts with hostages and bombs. Garcia needs another set of hands, and she reaches out to a hacker she used to know -- the best of the best, at the time -- sending Reid to do the negotiating for her. Before the case is over, Reid finds himself caught up in a whirlwind sex farce that might be a blossoming romance. Mayhem, chair sex, hallucinatory exhaustion, and an awful lot of ridiculous accidents follow, because what purpose does genius serve, if not an excuse to ignore common sense?
[Series title changed 2018.09.30 to better reflect the fact that this has gotten directly the fuck out of hand.]

The Waterverse by dianekepler, Ywain Penbrydd (penbrydd)
Fandom Star Trek: The Original Series
27 Feb 2017
Summary
It’s a ridiculous romance, involving an intentionally anachronistic Romulan starship pirate’s crush on the half-Vulcan astro-temporal physicist he’s never met, and how a Vulcan raised without the culture of her homeworld takes advantage of our starship pirate to exact her revenge on the astro-temporal physicist’s father. Also, the entire engineering crew is Orions, and they’re great.
But, mostly, it’s porn. Trashy romance novel porn with mind-melds. And a whole, whole lot of alien peen. And like a third of the dialogue is in Vulcan (with mouseover translations that don’t work on mobile, sorry).

Bookmarker's Notes
Most accurate Reid I have yet read. Assuming author is either a genius, a natural mimic, or both. Would comment, but four years late to this party.
