Author has written 7 stories for NCIS, and Merlin.

Recently I noticed a few people had accessed my profile. Sorry, I had nothing here so I thought I'd better add a touch of information...

I hail from Canada and in my real life I am a PhD level Psychologist. Yep, that's DR. LovesAngst to you, really! :)

My pen name says it all, I am a big fan of angst, which might seem strange given I listen to real troubles all day. I tend to be more of a thinker and less of a feeler, reading angst helps me balance myself a bit better I think. I love reading and writing about very intense emotion. As a psychologist and a writer, I think I am in a unique position to be able to draw strong emotion from my readership as well. Some people enjoy it, some do not :)

NCIS--I love Gibbs and his barely-held emotions. Perhaps I relate? In particular I love episodes and fanfic in which Gibbs' softer feelings for others (especially for Tony) are brought to the surface. I had a similar love affair years ago with Mulder and Scully (Mulder-angst especially) and read Bones fanfic for the Booth angst and occasionally Numb3rs fanfic for Don angst (love his relationship with Charlie).

Merlin--a few summers ago Merlin (a BBC series) was aired in Canada. I love the characters and the actors who play them. The relationship that is building between Merlin and Arthur is a delight...so, naturally I torture tham in my mind with some angst!

Finally, I really love feedback. I read and reply to each piece and do take reader's opinions into account.

Ta.

Feedback please. :)

Yours,

LovesAngst

Arthur had finally found a use for Merlin's fumbling, bumbling, noisy way. Although he'd never let on, Camelot's prince had been rather impressed with himself. That was before he lost Merlin.

I am not quite sure how to start this. My name is Merlin, I am 19 years old, and I was recently very ill with something Gaius calls meninjitis.

Arthur-the strapping, independent, golden prince-gains a bit of insight about how much Merlin, flaws included, means to him. As usual when I write , Arthur learns the hard way.

6. For the want of a nail the shoe was lost » reviews
The title is part of an old saying referring to the potentially disastrous consequences of letting seemingly small responsibilities go. Humans are, and have always been the frailest of creatures, Merlin, despite his magic, is no exception.
