Author has written 25 stories for Naruto, Ben 10, Avatar: Last Airbender, Harry Potter, Being Human, Fairy Tail, Hunger Games, Young Justice, Borgias, Vampire Diaries, and Gravity Falls.

Known by this handle most every place I go, which these days is mostly tumblr.

I am young and idealistic, a perfectionist and a procrastinator, a writer looking for inspiration. I am a fantasy junkie, a fairy tale enthusiast, a tv addict, an avid reader, a casual gamer, a sometimes photographer, and a fandom lurker. I don't really spend much time over here anymore, but occasionally I update, when the mood strikes me. Someday I will write my own best-selling novel, but until then I mostly putter around fandom.

My current fandoms of the moment are: Syfy's Alice, American Horror Story, Attack the Block, The Borgias, Dexter, Disney/Pixar, Doctor Who, Fairy Tail, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Legend of Korra, Once Upon a Time, Soul Eater, Thor, The Vampire Diaries, Warehouse 13, and Young Justice. Everything else comes and goes.

1. the beast upon your back » reviews
"You're just a kid," she blurted, so shocked she forgot to train her crossbow properly. The oversight hardly mattered though, because it was true: rather than a fully grown werewolf, savage and deadly, all she found was a pale and scrawny boy, naked as the day he was born.
