Author has written 12 stories for NCIS, In Plain Sight, and Warehouse 13.

I'm a Goth science freak, married with kids. Before experiencing some major life changes, I was an English major, with an interest in journalism or writing for television shows. If you were to read my hometown newspaper, you'd understand how those two things seem totally interchangeable to me. I've been writing stories for as long as anybody can remember, literally. I enjoy TV, so it seems natural to me, to blend my two loves. I enjoy Castle, X-Files, Stargate SG-1, In Plain Sight, and NCIS, though I'm always up for a good documentary, or the occasional dumb comedy. I find that I tend to identify with determined, stubborn female characters who tend to protect themselves emotionally by keeping others at a distance... probably some deep psychological connection to be made there, but anyway. And I love to chat, and meet new people, so don't be shy if you want to talk at me. (And yes, that avatar there is a photo of me, writing chapter four of Weekly Tradition while reading a magazine, during my beach trip. I really do get quite a bit of work done while I'm away!)

3. Weekly Tradition » reviews
Artie works diligently, if awkwardly, at getting through Claudia's defenses and building a relationship with the snarky teen. Spoilers for the Season 1/2 cliffhanger in Ch. 1, future chapters will vary, and will be marked. Rated T because I'm wary.

5. Don't Drink the Neutralizer » reviews
"This is neutralizer. Whatever you do, don't drink it. It makes you... see things." Rated T for future chapters in which we dredge up abuse memories in a not-descriptive manner. Finally complete!
Warehouse 13 - Rated: T - English - Family/Hurt/Comfort - Chapters: 3 - Words: 11,863 - Reviews: 13 - Updated: 2-11-11 - Published: 11-9-10 - Complete
6. The Killer Head Cold » reviews
Claudia gets a head cold, Artie gets the woman of his dreams. Written while I was sick beyond all reason, so any moments of lucidity were entirely unintentional.
Warehouse 13 - Rated: K+ - English - Family/Hurt/Comfort - Chapters: 3 - Words: 9,264 - Reviews: 8 - Published: 12-2-10 - Artie N. & Claudia D. - Complete
7. One Sleepless Night reviews
Claudia has a nightmare one night that forever changes the landscape of the team's lives. It's just a goofy stray chapter that won't fit into anything else I'm working on.
Warehouse 13 - Rated: K+ - English - Family/Hurt/Comfort - Chapters: 1 - Words: 5,046 - Reviews: 10 - Published: 10-8-10 - Artie N. & Claudia D. - Complete
8. Shadows of the Soul » reviews
Marshall investigates an odd noise on his porch at night. What he discovers is exactly what he expected, and yet he never saw it coming. Spoilers through Fish or Cut Betta, AU after that. WARNING: Non-descriptive references to child abuse including rape.
In Plain Sight - Rated: T - English - Hurt/Comfort/Romance - Chapters: 7 - Words: 25,873 - Reviews: 58 - Updated: 5-26-10 - Published: 5-4-10 - Mary S. & Marshall M.
9. Attack of the Killer Stairwell reviews
Mary's day goes downhill, quite literally, when she has to chase after a witness-turned-suspect. Absurd one-shot that demanded to be written before I could go back to my other projects.
In Plain Sight - Rated: K+ - English - Friendship/Hurt/Comfort - Chapters: 1 - Words: 2,800 - Reviews: 7 - Published: 5-10-10 - Mary S. & Marshall M. - Complete
10. One in Five Thousand » reviews
Abby receives a shocking diagnosis, and Gibbs tries to help her and the team learn how to cope with it. Written for Rare Disease Day. Sort of vaguely a companion piece to Refuge. Rating increased for a couple PG-type words in chapter two.
NCIS - Rated: K+ - English - Friendship/Hurt/Comfort - Chapters: 2 - Words: 7,545 - Reviews: 16 - Updated: 4-26-10 - Published: 4-16-10 - Abby S. & Leroy Jethro Gibbs
11. Refuge » reviews
Series of one-shots in which various members of the team experience tough times, and seek refuge in their team leader's home. Spoilers abound, and will be marked in each chapter.
NCIS - Rated: T - English - Family/Hurt/Comfort - Chapters: 4 - Words: 13,070 - Reviews: 23 - Updated: 4-9-10 - Published: 2-26-10 - Leroy Jethro Gibbs
12. Fearful Heart's Refuge reviews
Abby lets her guard down for just a little while during a stressful time. Set in the midst of Bloodbath. Companion piece to Refuge; it's part of that world but this one came first, and I don't feel like making it a mere chapter of that story.
NCIS - Rated: T - English - Hurt/Comfort/Friendship - Chapters: 1 - Words: 5,066 - Reviews: 21 - Published: 2-4-10 - Abby S. & Leroy Jethro Gibbs - Complete
