Fics like Before, Between and After

Shortly after waking up in Heleus, Ryder finds herself caught in the center of a galactic s**tstorm. Alone, isolated, with a daunting title thrust on her shoulders. Given she has chronic 'foot-in-mouth' disease, the odds of diplomatic success aren't looking good when they crash-land on Aya and come face to face with a new and enigmatic alien race. But after a few deep, husky words and one piercing look from Jaal... damned if she wasn't going to try her best. Ryder takes on a new gut-fluttering, mind-numbing and maddening quest as she tries to figure out the strange and spine-tingling angaran. And after several fumbling and salty attempts she realizes she needs all the help she can get. What she discovers is that she isn't nearly as romantically inept as she thought, nor quite as alone. Some families you're born into, others you make for yourself. *** (2/26/24) ON HOLD INDEFINITELY FOR MAJOR REVISION. Sorry, this one's at the bottom of the pile :/ * Begins shortly after picking Jaal up + ends post-Meridian * Any chapters that are NSFW will be marked (*) for your convenience.
