Author has written 29 stories for Castle, Awake, and Sherlock.

I wrote Star Trek fanfiction before there was an internet. Also Man from UNCLE, Alias Smith and Jones, more Star Trek, some Deryni and probably some others. If anyone tells you things were better in the old days, let me tell you-- I would have KILLED for a fanfic community.

Now I live in New Hampshire. I watch TV on my computer. My name is a pun on the only fairly good NH tool stone, mostly used by Archaic people although my particular variety was used by Paleo people ten thousand years ago.

My livejournal, which I very rarely use, is Rhyolight04; my AO3 name is Rhyolight; my Tumblr, where I am passeriformonthewing or more fannishly, Rhyolight [whose URL includes 'untilprovenguilypleasures'].

It may be relevant or not, but I am a middle-aged white divorced cis-woman with two former children who are now pushing 30. If you don't think it's relevant that I am a screaming social liberal, you aren't paying attention.

I have stolen someone named Xenakis' s (see Fanlore) Blanket Permission, because it seemed like a good Blanket Permission (can it be orange?) and PodFic Playpus (on Tumblr) said I must do this even if it is too much to hope for: "You do not need to ask my permission to remix, podfic, translate, create art for or create any secondary fanwork of any fanwork I have posted. Anything you produce in turn should feature a link back to my work and credit me by name. Please also share your work with me, so that I can properly flail at it and thank you :D"

I claim not to have a heart but I am such a shipper.


1. Sand » reviews
Lestrade thinks John should be aware. John would really, really rather not be. Mention of homosexual relationship. Not part of the Recovery Position universe, unless you want it to be. Not much reason why not, really. NB: no disrespect is intended toward 15-year-old girls.

2. Clinging to the Wreckage
You don't always want what you need. Not part of anything else, a fragment in the post-Reichenbach void.

3. In the Pink » reviews
"What was it like, when you met him?" John Watson's first adventure with Sherlock Holmes, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Chaos. Low-angst, though the frame is post-Reichenbach. Recovery Position universe, but stands alone. Ensemble cast.

4. For Wide Justice reviews
Sherlock and Lestrade have helped one another before and will again, but this one's a classic. Takes place in 2001; warnings for obsolete technology.

5. Falling (no end in sight) reviews
Everyone assumes it was St. Bart's, but the truth is Sherlock was falling a long time before that. 221b ficlet. It's Valentine's Day and I can if I like.

6. Three Kinds of Topping reviews
Three 221-word stories, each ending with a word starting with the letter B. In this case, I was obsessed by the different meanings of another word.

7. Recovery Position » reviews
It was really not much help, as suicide notes go. There are pieces that don't make sense, once you can look at them. John Watson is not a stupid man, and neither is Greg Lestrade. Post-Reichenbach. Based on near total-immersion in the TheFinalProblem Tumblr; no guarantee I am applying her theories correctly and no intention of claiming her involvement

8. A Letter to Molly reviews
Exile makes you consider things you can usually avoid. Sherlock during the Great Hiatus, after the fall. Part of the 'Recovery Position' universe. I'm proposing a new short-form: 'Love you for a thousand words,' where love is expressed, one kind or another, but the word is not used, in 1 Kiloword.

9. A lot of catching up to do reviews
221B. Sherlock, John, television.

10. Mouse and Men reviews
An hour after the fall, Mycroft comes to help his little brother die successfully. A prelude (Part 1) to the Recovery Position universe. It stands by itself quite separately, though.

11. Ofrenda reviews
In late autumn a young blogger's (John Watson's PA) thoughts lightly turn- well, not all that lightly, to thoughts of skulls. An entr'acte in the Recovery Position universe. Stands alone. Is probably self-indulgent of me.

12. Come to Such Sights Colder » reviews
If you are the last man standing, you have obligations. It would never do to shirk them. Someone needs to tell Mrs. Hudson. Entr'actes in the Recovery Position universe (Part 2), after Mouse and Men. Stands alone if you want it to.

13. It's Hard Out There for an Archetype reviews
An entr'acte in the Recovery Position Universe; a ripple in the Rivers of London universe, as John pulls himself somewhat closer back together and learns, or doesn't, that he's not alone at all. Stands alone.

14. Advice for the Lovelorn reviews
"I don't like you," Harry tells him as they settle down with overpriced varietal coffees. "I don't care," Sherlock replies. "I'm in love with John." Not part of the 'Recovery Position' Universe. Stands alone, late second series.

15. Javi that night & The Rest of Your Always » reviews
Post-'Always': it may be happily-ever-for-awhile for some, but they leave a trail of battered, tired friends along the way. Spoilers for Season 4. Didn't know it'd continue. Real title: "Today is the First Day of the Rest of Your Always." Ensemble cast

16. A Hefty Bag Filled with Helium Balloons » reviews
Takes place immediately after Put My Heart in a Jar, etc. I promised fluff, trying to be an angst-free zone. K for now. Not my characters, they are Marlowe's, but if he hurts them anymore he should lose custody.

17. Message in a Bottle reviews
Takes place after the events of Put My Heart in a Jar. Not the fluff. Kate's had a lot to process since that night in the helicopter hangar. She may even learn to wait for backup. How would you explain her mother's case in 3K words or fewer? & to whom

19. Partners and Other Strangers reviews
Britten and Bird do surveillance. Boredom brings a lot of truth to the surface. Set after "Oregon," no real spoilers.

20. Put My Heart in a Jar & Put That in a Palm Tree » reviews
Post "47 Seconds." I don't know if I am going to believe anything they write to try to get out of where they left us after that one. Neither the Rick nor the Kate I thought we had. This went to T because I mentioned sex.

After Linchpin contains spoilers up to and including Season 4:16 Castle and Beckett once AGAIN have to deal with the fallout from near death. Or do they? They've managed perfectly well not to so far.

He really is, so it's up to Beckett and the rest of the team to figure out who left the body on the archaeological site. Fortunately, the rest of Rick's family are there to help.

23. The Same RIver Twice reviews
Yet another take on the events of "A Deadly Game." Spoilers for "Boom", "Food to Die For." Probably not the same universe as Trebuchet and the rest, but maybe. I don't own Castle's characters; if I did, do you think they would they be in this pickle?

25. In the Nikki Heat of the Stormy Night reviews
Kate and Rick are stuck doing surveillance. It's dark. Kate's bored. Takes place after "Why not?" "Because." and before Trebuchet. I still don't know if I am in the universe that gave us Episode 10.

26. It's about your mother reviews
Word Count: 1055 Rating: K Spoiler alert: Takes place in the middle of Episode 10. Summary: Rick wonders about whether he should say anything to Kate. He knows perfectly well. Author's Notes:I am not really sure if it takes place in the same univers

How would you celebrate surviving a bloodbath? Thanks to hazel eyes 86 for beta and morale building, and to A. Marlowe et al. for letting me spend time with his characters.

28. Why Not? Because reviews
Castle talks with Esposito. Beckett talks with Parish. No one persuades anyone of anything. AN: The real title should be, "Esposito Will Kill Him If He Tries Anything," if you remember the Very Secret Diaries. Thanks to hazel eyes 86 for beta!

29. The Birds and the Bonobos reviews
Alexis asks her father if they can have a frank talk about sex. They both survive. I don't own them. Characters need to be free. First fic I have ever published, part of the first I have written in years and years. I hope you like it.
