ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Tasmanian Devil is now finished! After at least a year and six months of dillydallying around, I have completed the second installment of Chronicles of Affection. In light of this, I announce that I will be taking a break from Fanfiction.net to work on some other projects. I'm not sure when I will return to write the third story, but I definitely hope to. Hope you all enjoyed my writing! It's been a pleasure working here!

STORIES:

"CHRONICLES OF AFFECTION" - TMNT

Love Poems

I'm not a poet, but these were just some scribbles that were buzzing around in my head. Will detail how the boys feel about their respective girls, and maybe I'll write some from the girls' POVs. Depends on the reactions from the fans.

1. The Orphan Train

A.J. Lewis is a pretty rape victim who is rescued by the boys after they find her body abandoned and left for dead. Despite the horrible crimes committed against her, she is sweet, loving and kind, and Leo finds himself head over heels in love with her. But the rift between Leo and Raf grows ever wider, and what will happen when Leo finds himself struggling with the very feelings that she so afraid of?

2. The Tasmanian Devil

I got some requests to do a Raphael love story a little while back. Fear not, children, I have heard your prayers. When the boys bust an illegal fighting operation, Raf meets a girl named Sasha LeQuinn. She's loud, mean and raucous, just like him, but beneath all her toughness and harsh words, he knows she's just a troubled little girl. But can even his fire melt the ice around her heart? Sequel The Orphan Train, and will be much grittier. Will include a lot more violence, harsh language and sex. You have been warned.

OTHER STORIES

1. The Ghost Wolf - a Van Helsing story

For five years, a snow white wolf has haunted the rooftops of New York City, but now the world is in need of her services to battle an ancient evil that lies deep within the mountains of Romania. There, she gets a second chance to redeem herself, and a chance to fall in love. Features characters from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and X-Men. Now complete with author's notes.

2. Angel of the Night - a Trinity Blood story

I'm cowriting this with Elizabeth von Schweitzer, so it's actually under her profile, but you can get to it if you go to my favorites. Basically, anything that has to do with Annette-Marie de Candeax and her serious flirting problem is mine, and everything else is hers, though I do help her out in about everything

3. A Dozen Burgundies - a Blade story

A oneshot dealing with Blade and an OC. It's not a romance by any means, so nobody get the wrong idea. I hope I made it realistic, because Blade is such a difficult character to work with.

As Veronica J. Takahashi

1. Welcome to the Acadamy - a FMA, TMNT, Trinity Blood, SSB, X-Men, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Naruto crossover

Welcome to the Academy, where someone is always doing something somewhere with someone else. Cowritten with my best friend, it stars almost all of our OC's and their respective love interests.

COMING SOON:

1. Vampire in San Fransisco - a TMNT story

The third installment in my trilogy, involving college, new girlfriends, the undead, and...dun, dun, duunn! Someone's preeeegnaaaaant!

2. Black Licorice - an Addams Family story

Lance and Lily Tak have always wondered why their single mother brought them up for so long if she never was exactly excited about having them. Then, when she suddenly and unexpectedly gets pregnant and engaged, she sends them to live with their only surviving relatives, Gomez and Morticia Addams, in their dark and gloomy mansion on the outskirts of a small town in New York. There, the seventeen-year-old twins embark upon a quest to discover who their real father was, and the proud blood that runs in their veins.

3. Fathers and Sons, Mothers and Daughters - a TMNT story

Five short stories in which the children of the turtles learn very important lessons about life. There's Something Wrong with Daddy is set during the mutant outbreak, and what happens to Donny's family when he turns into a monster. In Lone Wolf, Raf's daughter learns that both her parents leave great legacies, but she must only follow one of them. I haven't come up with one for Leo's son yet, but I'm working on it. All I know is that he will be fifteen, and it will probably feature Usagi. Twenty-year-old Elise learns a hard lesson both in victory and defeat as she hopes to continue her father's legacy and become the Battle Nexus Championess, and in Two to Tango, her twin brother Eric learns the heartbreak of true love lost, but he is also reminded that, when you have a twin, you're never truly alone.
