Author has written 29 stories for Transformers/Beast Wars, Super Smash Brothers, Death Note, Hetalia - Axis Powers, Aeneid, Naruto, Temeraire, Harry Potter, Fullmetal Alchemist, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Gundam Wing/AC, Kingdom Hearts, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Supernatural.

Hallo- if you're reading this, that is.

I'm 21 (finally legal everywhere, for anything), female and addicted to fanfiction. That's about all I'm going to say on a personal note.

Oh, and I'm vegetarian. Pescetarian, if you want to get technical. Hopefully you can't hunt me down from just that. Unless you're really skilled.

So, stories- there's not a lot I won't read, really. It's addictive. And probably responsible for lower A-levels than my teachers were expecting. My degree, also, is probably by now destroyed (however, I do not blame that entirely on fanfiction).

As for my own, I write mostly as inspiration strikes- mostly one-shots. I've been branching out into new fandoms recently. I can't promise updates on a regular basis. A lot of my stuff's inspired by my playlist. What can I say? I have good music (and the occasional song I'm ashamed of liking ;p).

Hopefully you'll enjoy, and if not, let me know what I can do to improve!

All criticism is welcome, and if not constructive, laughed at.

Cheerio.


I have written my work... as a possession for all of time. Thucydides I.XXII

nunc bibendum est; 'Now there is need to drink'. Kinda sums up my Uni life so far ;)

Archaeology is the most fun someone can have with their pants on. Kent Flannery. This was my introduction to the subject.

On immortality: Goodbye, my work that will live on when I am dead. Ovid, Amores 3:15.

The corpse is still breathing. A literal translation of ancient Athenian literature (can't find the exact reference) and generally the quote I feel that describes me best at this moment.

(yeah, three guesses what I'm studying. And the first two don't count.)

I've had a crappy summer. I've had a crappy autumn, and a worse winter. I know that many other people suffer thusly also, and so I will only say this: my happier stories have to wait until I am in a happy state of mind for me to finish them. As such, the only new writing that I have posted recently is a nicely angsty Castiel piece to round off the Dean and Sam one shots in 'Waiting For'. If you liked them, check it out. But as I said in the fic itself; it is not a happy ending. Consider yourself warned.

I am finishing 'Semitones' gradually. I've just seen a few new reviews, and re read the older ones, that make me smile and as such am in a better mind to keep at it. Truly, thank you for the continued support, guys. I'll try to stay in a happy mood for you!

Actually, staying in a happier mind will just about make my family's day. Had a minor breakdown at Christmas, and now they seem to think I should be sectioned.

Honestly. Don't they know it's far too late for that?

Heh. Until next time,

me malum.

'Crookded Teeth' finally edited. Took me the best part of the night; I surprised myself with how much I still liked it, considering it was my first Hetalia fic (three years ago now, bloody hell. What have I even done with myself since then?!).

Also re-discovered my muse for what I'm now calling my Hetalia Apocalypse 'verse. There'll be more oneshots to follow 'Justify', which I've just posted as the sequel to 'Clarion Call'.

Okay, new rundown on current projets:

Phoenix Wright: 'Semitones' is still on the way. Promise.

Hetalia: sequel to 'My Imagination'- just working on a couple of final scenes. An America POV for the Apocalypse 'verse, with a Canada one to follow that.

Naruto: the fem!Kakashi/Iruka pre-canonish oneshot.

Harry Potter: the sorting experiment drabbles.

Transformers: I've got various 'Inspired' oneshots in various stages of completion. I'm trying to find one that I can finish and get up soon- though none of them are as cracked out as the last one I posted, I promise.

Generally, that's the order I tend to work on them. There's a few more that I add to occasionally, but they're coming along so slowly there's no point in listing them here.

until next time,

me malum.

So, there I was editing old fic and writing more for 'Semitones' when a Transformers idea (metaphorically) dragged me into an alley, beat me up, mugged me and left me for dead. For the last ten days I have been wrestling this idea into a mostly coherent Optimus Prime genderbender that ended up being far more personal than anything else I have written on this site. It was also written as a oneshot, despite being broken into chapters for convenience, and is probably the longest one I have ever written in such a relatively short space of time.

I would adore feedback on this piece for the personal issue; check it out if you like the fandom?

In other news, even though exams are finished, I spend most of my time drunk or hungover, and I have been forced to go job-hunting again, as implied above I am determined to finish Semitones this summer. I've got a lot of scenes for later on in the fic already written; stringing them together and putting something in between seems to be the main problem.

The ending of my exams also appears to be a time for the ideas to strike: my muse, being the unfaithful bitch she is (definitely a girl, no male could aspire to her levels of cruelty) lets me write two lines for each one then deserts me. I am losing most of the battles, but am determined to win the war.

(have re-read most of my latest update and have decided from this point on, no more drinking entire bottles of wine on a mostly empty stomach. It makes me poetic. God forbid.)

until next time,

me malum.

Man, did I just have the worst exam of my life. So I tweaked some angsty fanfic I've had lying around on my laptop for... about two years now? I think it's finally presentable to the public. At least it has a semi-decent ending.

Also, have been editing most of my fic. Some of my older stories have been tweaked and prodded until I like them again- the others'll probably be done over/by the summer. Maybe.

Also- the shock of my life- I wrote a continuation of a oneshot I was sure was just that- a oneshot. Archangel fans might want to check it out. I'm not sure if it's as good as (in my arrogance) I thought the first one was, but hey. I wanted to put it up.

Seriously. The shock of my life. When I finish a story, it's normally because the inspiration has dried up. Nothing else left to write. Then, bam, I think of this one-liner and write a stream-of-consciousness around it. Heh, crazy times.

Nearly as crazy as my exams. But hey, only one left. Then, god help (the world) me, I'll be finished with Uni. Holy Hell.

Anyway. Until next time,

me malum.

27/4/2012

So- who needs sleep, anyway?

Can now tick off the somewhat history based FrUK oneshot from the list below. Had a sudden hit of inspiration at about one in the morning, deleted most of the added drama I didn't like that much in the first place, and pretty much wrote the last four sections in as many hours. Then there was checking and editing, then posting- and by that point (06:14, to be exact), why bother sleeping only to ignore my alarm when it goes off three hours later?

Heh. And people wonder why I'm addicted to coffee.

Well- until next time,

me malum.

Dean debated what the greater sin was: whether that he'd broken the first seal and tortured countless souls in Hell, or that somewhere along the line, he'd apparently fallen in love with an angel of the Lord.
