Author has written 13 stories for Final Fantasy VII, Bleach, Ghost Hunt, Hawaii Five-0, Yu-Gi-Oh, Darker than BLACK, Kuroshitsuji, Avengers, James Bond, and Ironman.

Expansion is on going.

Name's VeilsofSleep.

USED TO BE: guesswho245.

Etymology: The name VeilsofSleep is taken from a line in Sigfried Sassoon poem 'The Death Bed'.

But death replied: 'I choose him.' So he went,
And there was silence in the summer night;
Silence and safety; and the veils of sleep.
Then, far away, the thudding of the guns.

The poem is one of favorites and that line particularly gets me every time. I changed my pen name because I made the other one six years ago on a whim without really thinking about and I've wanted to change it for a while.

Moving on.

Firstly, I'm a girl, so my stories will reflect that for the most part.

Secondly, I'm fond of dubs since I'm fluent in English (most of the time...), so any stories based of animes will follow the dubs. I apologize to the those that absolutely love the original Japanese, I know the dubs sometimes get stuff wrong, but I'm not a fan of subs, except for Jdramas...

Thirdly, I like OC character stories as long as they're engaging and the character is well written. For the most I find I give most OC character stories a chance before dismissing them (at least three chapters). I have found some real gems here on Fanfic by brilliant writers.

Current Interests:

Books: Prospero Lost

Music: Moby, Rolling Stones, Dev

TV shows: Supernatural, Burn Notice

Movies: Waiting to go see The Hobbit.

Update Schedule and stories:

My updates are very sporadic. I apologize.

Extemporaneous Parenting -fairly regular, chapters will be short and quick.

Three Ghost Hunters and a Baby -it'll take me a while. Muse is being a little biatch. I have a plot, I just need to force onto paper.

Road Untraveled -Um yeah. The chapters for this story take an immense amount of time, so it'll be updated when I have a lot of time to write. I need to rewatch relevant episodes to get the timeline correct, so this is highly tied to free time.

Again my apologies for the lack of updates on some stories. I really appreciate everyone's patience.

1. Extemporaneous Parenting » reviews
"Well aren't we a fine pair? Me, a womanizing assassin with a gaping hole for a heart playing 'daddy dearest' and you, a trauma induced mute with a high IQ, mild Asperger's and the coordination of Mr. Bean and my daughter." Bond would not have believed it, but it was hard to deny that those blue eyes were not his own staring back at him.

Danny had no idea how it came to pass, but:"Kade Noshimori, get your butt down here in fifteen-no, no, make it five seconds!" 'Foster daughter' was really code for 'permanent protective detail'. Team fic.

"I believe she is from Ancient Egypt," Sebastian replied fluidly while holding out an aiding hand to the woman, "More to the point, I think she may be the former Queen Nefertiti." "How could you know that?" Ciel questioned "Because I saw her 3000 years ago." Rather than appearing from the future, a figure from the past lands in their lives. Hijinks ensue. Eventual SebastianOC.

8. Imbroglio »
'"So, Captain, why are you and this strange woman covered in cocaine, eggs and what smells like Bourbon?" Here stood Nick Fury, Director of SHIELD, waiting for an answer.' This was not the fancy smooth jazz partner Steve expected. More like a heavy metal head with two left feet. Series of oneshots centered around Steve/OC. Appearances from all Avengers.

"Are you going to go see her? She is our grandmother." Seto didn't answer Mokuba. His eyes narrowed at the word. "I hardly think she deserves the title." It was unlikely that Seto was going to forgive the woman who was now Industrial Illusions managerial face, despite that fact that his brother was willing to. We never did learn about the Kaiba brothers' biological family did we?

"There is a materia capable of bringing people back from the dead?" he clarified with a raised eye brow, "And a Sephiroth clone is after it?" Cloud looked grimly at the Turks before him. This could only lead to one thing. Calamity. Again.
