Author has written 33 stories for Harry Potter, Naruto, Heroes, Monster, Kuroshitsuji, Elephant, Vampire Knight, and Criminal Minds.

"When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light...that split the night..."

Simon and Garfunkel, The Sound of Silence

To the world that lies beyond, to those who are reading this very page, I'd like to extend warm wishes. What brings you here? What is it you're looking for?

If you're looking for a Police/Sting fan, an anime fan, a lover of history, a lolita, or something just plain weird, I think you've found the right place.

I am currently a second year university student double majoring in Political Science and History (with a very likely minor in Philosophy). That said, I'll be very much busy, so my updates are likely to be sporadic and infrequent. Please rest assured, however, that I have not left the wonderful world of fanfiction completely.

I tend to write in and deal with the more dark, psychological, and depressing aspects of life, so if that's not really your cup of tea, I can't say that you'll enjoy my stories much. If it's what you're looking for, by all means, read on.

Also note, I have recently acquired an AO3 account under the username of EdenLies, and some of the stories I am more fond of will likely be migrating to there soon. If you'd like to follow my stories there as well, please see the following link:

Thanks!

Random facts:

-I tend to listen to songs on repeat. Some examples of songs include:

The Sound of Silence, by Simon and Garfunkel

American Pie, by Don McLean

Don't Stand So Close to Me, by The Police

The House of the Rising Sun, as performed by Pete Seeger (instead of The Animals, hehe :P)

Hallelujah, by Rufus Wainwright

Gran Torino, by Jamie Cullum

Oscar Wilde, by Romantica

King, by The Romanovs

City, by Sara Barielles

- Current Fandoms:

Pretty much just Criminal Minds at the moment, but I might churn out some Kuroshitsuji every once in awhile if some fancy strikes me.

- Pairings I like and tend to write for include:

Harry Potter:

SnapexHarry (OTP, I think!), Tom (diary form)xGinny, SnapexLily, RemusxSirius

Naruto:

KakashixSakura, KakashixSasuke, and the occasional NarutoxSasuke

Kuroshitsuji:

SebastianxCiel, AberlinexCiel

Criminal Minds:

GideonxReid (mentor relationship or slash), GideonxHotch, and HotchxReid mostly. I do also have a thing for Reid/lots of various unsubs or pseudo-unsubs, more specifically ReidxNathan Harris (s. 2 e. 11, "Sex, Birth, Death") and ReidxAdam/Amanda Jackson (s. 4. e. 20, "Conflicted"), though these fics are somewhat rare and sometimes a bit too icky for my taste.

My favorite...

Characters: First, let it be noted that Jason Gideon (Criminal Minds) will hold a place in my heart forever. That said, I am also very fond of the characters Aaron Hotchner (Criminal Minds), Erik Lensherr/Magneto (X-Men), Johan Liebert (Monster), Nathan Harris (Criminal Minds), Joseph Liebgott (Band of Brothers), Ryou Bakura (Yu-Gi-Oh!), and Spencer Reid (Criminal Minds).

Anime: Paranoia Agent, Monster (Naoki Urasawa), Revolutionary Girl Utena, Five Centimeters Per Second, Kuroshitsuji, Boogiepop Phantom, Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, Wolf's Rain, Serial Experiments Lain, Yu-Gi-Oh, Ghost in the Shell SAC, and more I can't think of right now.

Manga: Kamui, 20th Century Boys, Monster, MW, Rules (Miyamoto Kano), Hydra (Miyamoto Kano), Kuroshitsuji, Liar Game, Himitsu Top Secret, Soul Rescue, etc.

Books: Speak, Kafka on the Shore, A Single Man, A Clockwork Orange, The Lovely Bones, The Shadow Children Series, Harry Potter, The Phantom of the Opera, Falling Leaves, Jude the Obscure, As I Lay Dying, Pale Fire, Lolita, Brave New World, Thirteen Reasons Why, The Sound and the Fury, almost anything by Tamora Pierce, The Picture Of Dorian Gray.

Movies: Elephant, Pan's Labyrinth, A Single Man, Little Miss Sunshine, 2:37, The Phantom of the Opera, Gran Torino, Changeling, Kamikaze Girls, some I can't think of.

Clothing Brands: Angelic Pretty, Metamorphose Temps de Fille, Free People, Anthropologie, Black Peace Now, Innocent World, Alice and the Pirates (a.k.a. Baby, the Stars Shine Bright), Moi Meme Moitie

T.V. Shows: Criminal Minds, Criminal Minds, Criminal Minds. That's about it, really.

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.

Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it.


Thats all, folks!
