Leaves of Grass was my first attempt at fanfiction. I started reading within the fandom after Breaking Dawn was released, and I was convinced that there had to be a better ending to the story out there. Generally those happily-ever-afters contain a whole lot more Jasper.

You can find me playing with the Wordy Bitches ladies (and one gent).

Other LoG info:

There isn't a LoG play list, and I don't write to music, but there are definitely songs that remind me of "my" Jasper.

"My Ain True Love" (Alison Krauss for Cold Mountain)

"Bright Sunny South" (Union Station)

"Undone in Sorrow" (Crooked Still)
