"Better a witty fool than a foolish wit."

- William Shakespeare

My name is Ana, I'm fifteen, and I aspire to be a publisher, journalist, or English teacher when I graduate. However, high school seems to enjoy slowly killing me, and dead girls just don't talk, so don't be shocked if I don't update for a while, then suddenly come back. That's usually how I roll.

http://byebyebirdie58.livejournal.com/profile -- Feel free to friend me. I absolutely love friends, but please make sure I know who you are from reviews, other sites, etc.

http://pretty-kookie2.livejournal.com/profile -- Ditto for above. I post my personal writing here, so I'm a little more catious of who I allow to see it.

http://www.last.fm/user/byebyebirdie58 -- I'm always up for sharing good music. :)

My fics (In order of publication):

The Outsiders

The Needle -- What exactly is a guy's breaking point? How much can he take before he cracks? Steve isn't quite sure, but it can't be much longer... (Rated T -- implied drugs use, language. Published 12/21/07) ONESHOT. Angst

Intervention -- When Steve came back from Vietnam, he knew things weren't going to be same. But he never asked for this. Now, in the midst of a new decade, broken relationships, and an addiction that's literally driving him crazy, Steve just sin't sure what to do, or for that matter, what he can do... both for himself, and those he loves. (T -- implied drug use, language, adult themes. Published 12/23/07. 12 chapters) COMPLETE Drama/Angst

Tangerine -- Couldn't she love them both? She could, but she coulldn't have them both, and that's what she hated. Mostly, though, Evie just wanted back the old Steve, the one she loved first. (T -- language. Published 2/6/08) ONESHOT General

Hail Mary -- Tim Shepard in church isn't exactly an everyday sight. Tim Shepard in a confessional is just plain extraordinary, if not even amusing. Well, for Tim, anyway. Not the poor priest, though. (T -- language, mention of adult themes. Published 2/17/08) ONESHOT Humor

Comfortably Numb -- Steve knew it was inevitable, and yet he still wasn't prepared when it happened. He's lost his friends before, sure, but with the stress of Vietnam already coming down on him, can he really handle it? (T -- language, drug use. Published 2/21/08) ONESHOT Angst/Drama

I Am a Child -- Steve and Soda have, and always will be buddies. Even when things just aren't getting better, they'll be there for each other. That is, if certain circumstances don't separate them. (T -- language. Published 3/5/08) ONESHOT. General

Day To Day -- The Curtis brothers seem to always have it rough, but it seems to always come down hardest Darry.

Published 11/28/08. 4 chapters) Angst/Romance

Exit the Warrior -- Darry Curtis isn't one who gets pushed around, not by his friends, but especially not by the likes of Tim Shepard, and he wants to make everyone aware of that. And get back at Tim for some unfinished business. ONESHOT. Tie in with Day to Day. General/Angst

Four Brothers

Circuit Breaker -- What exactly is there to do when the power goes out at the Mercers. One thing is certain, and that's that it's bound to be hectic. (T -- language. Published 3/10/08) ONESHOT. Humor

Note: I do not typically write in the Four Brothers fandom. This will probably be the only story I'll have in it for a while.
