Author has written 56 stories for Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, Phantom of the Opera, Lord of the Rings, RENT, Misc. Books, Edgar Allan Poe, Misc. Plays/Musicals, Batman Begins/Dark Knight, and Doctor Who.

Two words I thought I'd never say: I'm back.

Yes, that's right. I'm back to fanfiction after a year or so. Apologies for leaving all my projects unfinished. Over the next couple months or so I'm going to see what can be salvaged and continued. I know a lot of my readers that I've accumulated are into Phantom of the Opera, but I've sort of shied away from that fandom since. We'll see.

Anyway, it's nice to be back, and I look forward to interacting with you all, and most importantly, writing again. =)

Warmest regards,
dark-hearted rose


1. Supernova reviews
Oneshot, Doctor/River Song. "The fires of the supernova cascade around them in a burst of energy and light, and it is all she can do to hold on for dear life, screaming, terrified. Altogether exhilarated." Thanks to all who read and review.

2. Drowning reviews
Oneshot, lightly Leroux based. It's probably not healthy that he is the only one who knows what he wants; it's probably not healthy for me to continue without knowing, unsure of what and how I feel... A darker take on Erik/Meg. Thank you to all who R&R.

9. Confused reviews
Oneshot, a strange hybrid of Webber and Leroux. I know, deep down in my heart of hearts, that this is wrong, terribly, utterly wrong. Why, then, does it feel so wonderful? Hints of femslash. As always, a huge Thank You to readers and reviewers.

Oneshot, Leroux based, AU implications. The night is awake. It's terrible, I can feel it, I can feel it moving, breathing, pulsating, just waiting to fly, to escape. But it can't, and it won't. And neither can I. Thank you, readers and reviewers!
