Author has written 14 stories for Merlin, and Sherlock.

"We read to know that we are not alone." -C.S. Lewis

The stories here are ones I was compelled to write because they wouldn't leave me alone. Nothing big or important, just ideas that needed to get out. My main goal is to write stories that carry the spirit of their source material. FYI: You'll barely find any romance in my stories, and you certainly will not find anything explicit or graphic.

I write and read friendship, action/adventure, and drama with the side of angst and h/c that tends to go along with these. I like sidekicks and geeks. Good stories depend on good characters, and that's why write fan fiction; so I can steal the best ones I know that already exist. I generally gravitate toward characters who are selfless, kind, loyal, brave, and snarky.

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival." -CS Lewis

My user name references one of my favorite moments in "The Silver Chair." I am a Christian.

"If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world." -CS Lewis

I hope you find something in my stories to enjoy.

"Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become." -CS Lewis

To Perish Twice by Signy1 reviews
Episode reworking of 'The Darkest Hour.' A blood sacrifice to tear the veil, a blood sacrifice to mend it. Arthur knew his duty to his people, and he'd been grimly ready to do what needed to be done. But when he sees a way out... is it really so very selfish of him to take another option when one is offered? Does Camelot need a living king or a dead hero?

Traduttore, Traditore by Signy1 reviews
When attempting to make a man's acquaintance, heavy cell doors and cement walls are child's play compared to language barriers. But when the men in question are Cpls LeBeau and Newkirk, where *would* they meet but in the cooler? Two prisoners, both emotionally raw, are going to need each other if they're going to have any chance of surviving... whether they like it or not. 2019 PBA

Franklin P Nelson: Super-Attorney by enthusiasmgirl reviews

Nine Reasons to Live by Thaddeus MacChuzzlewit reviews
Newkirk claimed to have nine siblings. Like most aspects of his life, it was half truth, half lie. LeBeau has the span of one mission gone terribly wrong, to pry the whole story from his friend. It just might be the only way they'll survive the night.

Merlin: Series Five reviews
If series five left you disappointed, read on. Starts soon after series four, and goes in a new direction where Arthur is smarter, the knights do more, Mordred is badder, Gwen is not brainwashed, and Merlin makes much better decisions and actually uses some of that power he is supposed to have. AU after series four, not slash. Work In Progress, updates irreregular.

Post Mortem reviews
Warning: Major Spoilers and Canon Character Death-ish. A series of 221 word drabbles focusing on character's reactions to The Reichenbach Fall. No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Nocturn reviews
You are not wrong, who deem that my days have been a dream; yet if hope has flown away in a night, or in a day, in a vision, or in none, is it therefore the less gone? Arthur's dreams seem to be connected to strange happenings in the waking world. Is it all in his head, or are dark forces at work?
