Author has written 36 stories for Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dollhouse, Avengers, Jurassic Park, Daredevil, Guardians of the Galaxy, Firefly, and X-Men.

Female. Chronologically grown-up. Mammalian.

As of August 2017, I'm no longer posting new stories here, aside from drabbles. (Future Buffyverse stories may be an exception, just to be sure everyone knows I've moved.) You can find me on Archive of Our Own with the username KairosImprimatur.

Nothing that's already published here will come down, and I'll still receive and read all reviews and messages, so please feel free to contact me at any time if you have questions or just want to say hi. Although I can't respond to every review, I appreciate them more than I can say, whether they're on old or newer stories, flattering or critical.

If you're curious about pursuing my work further and want to know what you're getting into: at time of writing, my primary fandom is Guardians of the Galaxy and my ship is Peter/Rocket. I do intend to write more for Buffy/Angel at some point, but I have no idea when that will be.

Recurring themes in my fiction include moral uncertainties, miscommunication, and cute fuzzy animals. I like angst and am not bothered by killing canon characters.

This is where I'll be collecting my drabbles for any show or movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
