Author has written 19 stories for Bleach, Tin Man, and Alice, 2009.

UPDATE 01/29/2013 - Hello, update! And hello, New Year!

UPDATE 11/03/2012 - Oh dear, it has been far too long since I've updated this. We are well into Reforged now, and I hope you're all enjoying so far! I know updates are entirely sporadic, but I'm in the second year of my Ph.D. now and the clock is ticking! Please be patient with me!


So, here is where I impart some tidbits about stories that I'm currently working on as well as some that are in development. AU seems to be my forte, so while I fully intend on writing canon universe stories, there will probably be some AUs in there as well. I love the challenge of writing them.

Reforged (Tin Man/Alice crossover - IN PROGRESS): The sequel to Splinters is now up! It will have all of the angst, humor, action, adventure, and romance of the first - multiplied by about a thousand. What can you expect? Intrigue from the four clans of Wonderland, delicate negotiations between Wonderland and the O.Z., Az facing the consequences of her actions from the end of Splinters and deciding whether or not she's truly suited for the throne, Az and Jeb treading the waters of their new relationship, the reappearance of Alice and Hatter, and the trials and tribulations of the beleaguered, newly crowned King Jack and his first love and present nemesis (or is she?), Duchess. Oh yes, and the reawakening of a certain trickster who was conspicuously absent during Alice. Still with me? Yeah, it's going to be an adventure.

Isis36 has created another beautiful banner for this series. Have a look! http://sezza6.deviantart.com/#/d5g0xo0

Splinters (Tin Man - COMPLETE): My little crack romance spawned an actual story - and now it's complete! What's in it? Liberties with the land of Oz (taken from L. Frank Baum's original, Gregory Maguire's Wicked and the ensuing musical, and of course Tin Man) and ideas from some of my favorite science fiction/fantasy books. There is also a lot of angst, courtesy of Azkadellia, lots of confrontations and sexual tension between her and Jeb, appearances from all of our favorite Tin Man characters, and of course some good ol' Cain and DG sparkage. I'm so proud of this story. It's my baby.

Banner alert!!! Isis36 made a gorgeous banner for Splinters. Words fail me, it's so beautiful. Check it out and give her some love! http://sezza6.deviantart.com/art/Splinters-196846116

Shahrezad1 has also been an absolute doll. Check out her gorgeous Az/Jeb sketch! http://shahrezad1.deviantart.com/art/1-18-12-An-Unexpected-Treasure-286886124

A Question of Marriage (Bleach - COMPLETE): This is a little plot bunny that I just had to get down. It's quite different from my usual style - more lyrical and less dialogue-heavy. But because it's Shunsui and Nanao (my ultimate OTP), it had to be done.

The Strictly Ballroom series (Bleach - COMPLETE): My beloved AU universe in which Bleach characters have been turned into ballroom dancers living in modern-day Japan. This series of one-shot stories revolves around the dancers of the 8/13 Dance Studio, run by Kyouraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jyuushiro. This entire thing can be blamed on an unhealthy addiction to "Dancing With the Stars." All stories have a theme song (the title) and dance. The stories are Sway (ShuNao, rumba), Quando, Quando, Quando (HitsuMatsu, tango), Come Fly With Me (UkiUno, slow foxtrot), Call Me Irresponsible (RenjiNemu, slow waltz), Moondance (ShuuIsa, paso doble), Fever (KuuKen, samba), I've Got You Under My Skin (IkkaKiyo, Viennese waltz), It Had Better Be Tonight (UraYoru, mambo), The More I See You (IchiRuki, jive), Everything (IshiHime, bolero), The Lady Is a Tramp (GrimmFong, salsa), At Long Last Love (YumiSun, West Coast swing), Night and Day (UlquiNel, quickstep), Witchcraft (YachiruWonderwice, cha-cha), and Save the Last Dance for Me (Hitsugaya Aki and Kyouraku Halu, Argentine tango). The Best Is Yet To Come is a ShuNao wedding supplement to the series.

The SB series now has FANART, courtesy of the amazingly fabulous lunar-sea and Kendall N.S.! Thank you so much, you guys! You're amazing!
