 Author has written 30 stories for Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Leverage, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, and Mer Series. I never knew there was such a genre as fanfiction until college, and I realized I had been writing fanfiction for years, for many different cartoons, tv shows, and book series. I've just started being brave enough to publish some of my scribbles. I hope everyone likes my attempts- but if not, try to be positive in your comments, because as the world is mean enough without that negativity in here! Don't like it? Read something you do like, there must be a million authors on here! I mainly write for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with a concentration on Spike and Buffy's relationship, but I try to create happiness for everyone :).

Bouquet reviews
Predators use scent before taste. Spike knows the blood of a Slayer is a powerful aphrodisiac, but the scent of a Slayer, a happy Slayer, does things to him, too… A game to tickle his senses ends up blossoming into something that warms his heart.

Friends (Or More) reviews
A sequel to Warming Up to New Things, please read that first. Buffy and Spike embark on their odd experiment of being less than enemies, and possibly even friends. Tired of hurting each other, tired of being hurt by others, they decide to see if a simple friendship would work out. It goes surprisingly well, leaving them to wonder just how far beyond friends they might go.

Humans, Demons, and Bears reviews
Spike's a major big bad who can take on the hordes of hell… so why does an adorable little furball from his beautiful bride have him hyperventilating? (That's pretty hard to do when you're an undead guy.) It turns out that Buffy has a (seemingly innocent) test in mind for her anniversary with Spike. A furry, funny, feel-good one-shot inspired by the glorious pfeifferpack.

Kindred reviews
When Dracula called Buffy 'kindred', he was doing more than just saying they had a lot in common.

However, the way you break the hold of one vampire is to let another one possess you more fully...

Set in an alternate late season six. Spike can't believe he's this happy. He can't believe he's changed, she's changed, and that together they have this little bubble that hasn't burst yet. In over a century of looking for the real meaning of happiness and true love, he's found it in the most unlikely of places. It must be these American girls that have won his heart and loyalty.

You, Me, and The Zombies reviews
When Buffy hears Spike say he's got a meeting with zombies, she's dutybound to investigate. Not to mention that ever since they started to explore pre-wedded bliss under a spell, Buffy can't stop fantasizing about Spike, especially since she's got a passionless new beau. When Buffy arrives to save the day, Spike's definitely glad to see her and prove she's been on his mind, too.

Spike's had enough of Dru's cheating and sets off to make the man who destroyed her ability to love pay.

Making It To Maybe reviews
A short sequel to Dusk 'til Dawn. I strongly recommend you read that first. Buffy and Spike escaped Glory's bounty hunters, and found out that they have something more than a mere truce between them. Our heroes left the scene of battle with the understanding that maybe more would develop and now that possibility turns to reality. A smutty bridge between challenge posts. Read and en

California has a cold snap and it's freezing in Spike's crypt. Buffy has a fever and she's burning up- not to mention that she's a little bit delirious. But just because you're loopy doesn't mean you're wrong. Maybe if you rub a frozen vampire against a boiling Slayer, both of them will get warm in more ways than one.

Walking in Dreams reviews
Early season 6. Buffy's body comes back in one piece, her mind a little less stable. Uncertain of reality, a sleep-deprived Slayer finds one thing she can cling to, waking or dreaming. Plenty of angst and stream-of-very-tangled-thought to begin with, but it has a sweet Spuffy ending.
