Author has written 43 stories for Fullmetal Alchemist, and Sherlock. About Beautiful Fiction I'm a writer in my late twenties, currently deeply entrenched within the Sherlock BBC fandom and enjoying myself immensely. I helplessly ship John/Sherlock, and I truly hope you enjoy my endeavours. If you do then I'd love to hear from you! I also run the online gothic jewellery store GlitterGoth. I used to write in the Fullmetal Alchemist fandom, but gradually bowed out thanks to my commitment and passions in Sherlock. As such, No Smoke Without Fire and Coutnerpoint should be considered as abandoned, with no further updates forthcoming. A proportion of my work is rated Mature, and should only be read by those of age to do so. If you can't see the relevant stories, then check the rating filter is switched to show all ratings. Additionally, some of my work has more explicit versions on my AO3 page. Alternatively, for news on progress, excerpts and more, please check out my tumblr. Notes I use 'single quotes' to indicate dialogue. This is NOT a mistake. Please don't review trying to correct this behaviour. 'Single quotes' for dialogue is a British publishing standard (it saves ink in a big run). I hope you can overlook this nuance and continue to enjoy my work | |||||||
