Author has written 40 stories for Batman, Young Justice, Captain America, Batman: Under the Red Hood, and NCIS.

Hello!

I've finally gotten it together to start putting my fics on here as well. I've also got a tumblr, and an AO3, so you can find me over there as well.

Quite frankly, stuff goes up on tumblr first, then AO3. I'll try to get them up here in a reasonable amount of time, but I have a bit of a backlog.

And some stuff up on Tumblr probably won't make it on here, especially any of the more explicit stuff, since that's forbidden. So it you're interested in that, check out my tumblr masterlist, or my AO3.

This will mostly be Batman and Young Justice stuff, with the occasional other DC character, and even some Marvel thrown in. That may change eventually, we'll see.

I *greatly encourage* constructive criticism.

"He doesn't love me!" Damian's words rung in the air, irrevocable, like the echo of two fateful gunshots, or the wet thud of bodies against the ground.
