Welcome to the profile page of a damsel who is very much in stress..

My Stories..

POTC:

One For Sorrow

A story set in Cutler Beckett's childhood, which focuses on him and his unfortunate mother. While the young and inexperienced Cutler makes friends with Mercer the beggar's son and his sister Marianne, his mother throws in her lot with Julian, a charming rogue she knew before she married. A little bit of love and a lot of pain sees Cutler Beckett well on his way to becoming the monster we see in PotC and his mother is the one who will ultimately pay the price. Finally finished!

A Matter of Perspective

Till Death do us Part

A Watched Kettle

A series of stories from the point of view of James Norrington's loyal, love-sick maid, Annie. At first the writing is a little rough but I improve over time with help from my awesome reviewers and my amazing beta-reader, Nytd. One rainy day I do intent to go back and smooth out the creases in the first story but for now I'll leave it in its original form. The tales are foremost humorous angst, but do include a little romance in the final short story. Really they were written as a bit of fun and misadventure for an innocent and ignored, but, hopefully, fairly likeable heroine.

Innocence

A Beckett-centric one-shot. Exploring his unique personality.

As If She Were Alive

Written for a challenge over at the 'Broken Compass' Forum. A tale of Cutler Beckett, unrequited love, a mysterious painting and a death. Based on the poem, 'My Last Duchess'.

The Rise and Fall of Commodore James Norrington

A place for me to hide my shameless angsty Norrington-centric one-shots.

At the Sign of the Broken Compass

A collection of various drabbles inspired by prompts and challenges from the 'Broken Compass' Forum, then the 'Black Pearl' Forum. This stretches a long period of time and my writing has changed dramatically through out it.

Labyrinth:

Crystal Clear

Not my best work, but full marks for creativity. This is the short tale of an unlucky goblin who was unfortunate enough to offend the Goblin King, and her ill-fated, amusing, quest for revenge.

Tempted

A short, mildly poetic, serious, one-shot.

Star Trek: 2009

Logical Conclusions

A one-shot exploring the evolving relationship between Kirk and Spock, written from Uhura's POV. Written as an outlet for my sudden Star Trek obsession and bridging the gap between ST09 and TOS.

Doctor Who

Walking in Eternity

A series of hurt/comfort style one-shots featuring my personal favourite companion, Sarah Jane Smith. If the plot bunnies keep behaving, more will follow..

The Edge Chronicles

Twilight Hours

A few drabbles I wrote on those wonderful fusty academics, the Professors of Light and Darkness, after I had cried at the end of 'Midnight over Sanctraphrax'.

10th Kingdom:

Sheep Worrying

My first short attempt at fanfiction. Nothing special but hopefully a lot of fun. :)

Mothers of the Caribbean: A collection of one-shots, each by different authors about different characters, inspired by the mothers of our beloved pirate rogues. I wrote the chapter on Cutler Beckett's mother.

Begun by Blood: "Begun by blood, by blood undone". These are some of the stories of the recovery of the 882 identical pieces of cursed gold.
