Wow... it's been a long time since I last updated this after my stolen story situation.

Still very much an avid Phantom of the Opera fan and also have written for several other fandoms: Once Upon a Time, Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and Strange Magic to name a few.

I am a HUGE shipper and love the following:

Erik/Christine (POTO)

Alan Grant/Ellie Sattler (Jurassic Park)

Maxwell Smart/99 (Get Smart)

Clois (Superman)

Rumbelle (Once Upon a Time)

Swanfire (Once Upon a Time)

Vegebul (Dragon Ball, Z, and Super)

Jilliam (Murdoch Mysteries)

Butterfly Bog (Strange Magic)

Robfire (Teen Titans)

Mr. Darcy/Elizabeth Bennet (Pride and Prejudice)

Tony/Pepper (Iron Man)

Wanda/Vision (MCU)

Those are the ones I can think right now off the top of my head.

I am also a big bookworm and love to read. I have books everywhere and the collection keeps growing... as much as my movie collection grows too. So don't be surprised if I throw in some Easter eggs in my stories about other fandoms and things I like.

Feel free to check out my stories! Thank you in advance for reading them and I hope they will entertain you. :)

-Note on Clandestine Trysts series...

Hi everyone!

I have thought about this for a while now and I figured it was time I address the elephant in the room that has been on my mind lately. On occasion, I will get a message about this, and I have always responded in the positive, but now I think it’s time to settle my Clandestine Trysts series for good.

If you ever read one this Once Upon a Time series of stories, then these were an AU twist with Rumbelle being the focus where Gaston had control of the Dark One, Belle married Gaston, and Belle and Rumplestiltskin carry on an affair that resulted in the birth of a daughter, Lily-Rose. There was also a reunion with Baelfire/Neal and a chance for Neal and his father to work out their issues. And there was a villain, of course, lurking in the background with the intent to destroy the Dark One for good.

The intent was a single story only, but then I kept adding to it and I had nine stories invested. I had been planning on wrapping it up with a 9B story and then 10 being the finale. But real life, writer’s block, the muse, and even my personal feelings with the show got in the way. It has been eight years since I last contributed to this series, and I have been involved in other writing projects and fandoms that when I look at this series… I see it as a chore that I keep putting off.

Sadly, I have lost interest in pursuing it. I love the characters, don’t mistake that, but I no longer feel I can carry on the series with the same level of storytelling that I began doing. It pains me to reach this truth but it has been there in the back of my mind for years and it was time I accept it. It grieves me because I was intending on finishing it with a couple more stories, and I hate to leave something unfinished so while this is not the same as reading the conclusion… I wanted to share what part of my original vision involved. It’s not a substitute to the real story, but I hope this will be somewhat satisfactory for those who have taken the time to read my series.

I hinted at it in Story 8- Lost and Found—that the Blue Fairy was going to be the Big Bad. She sees the Dark One and Lily-Rose as a threat and in her mind… she believes she is saving everyone with their deaths. There was going to be a tag up with Regina to work together to get rid of them. I know Regina loves Henry, her son, and she was going to keep living up to the Evil Queen persona until she selflessly did the right thing to protect Storybrooke from the Blue Fairy when Henry ends up in danger. Honestly, I felt that was the only redeeming quality about her, and I wanted to keep the focus on the mother-son relationship.

The other things that were going to be explored- Neal and Emma’s relationship. My goal was to have them gradually fall back in love with each other. Henry gets to have his father in his life and to continue the child-parent relationship… the same was going to happen with Rumple and Neal with Rumple accepting his son as Neal, not Baelfire.

As for Rumple and Belle… they had gotten married in the last story. But despite the happy occasion, Rumple still feels that Belle could have done better. He struggles with her love for him. This was going to be a chance to introduce new allies and friends that would help him personally, but also help him in their fight with the Blue Fairy. In Story 9A, Of Swans and Wedding Bells, I brought in Dawn and Griselda from the movie Strange Magic. I was going to have Rumple meet the Bog King and Marianne and see how the bad guy can be the hero and have the girl. I was also going to have a couple other couples in Storybrooke that shared similar parallels present too. Being a Phan, yes… I was going to have Erik and Christine from Phantom of the Opera in Storybrooke.

Anyways, there was going to be an epic showdown with Blue and Regina (maybe Cora too). Rumple was going to fight to protect his family and prove to everyone that because he was the Dark One that he can control his destiny for good. Lily-Rose, Emma, and Henry being products of True Love were going to use the magic within themselves to aid in this fight that would stop Blue. It was going to be that moment where Regina switched sides when Henry becomes hurt. In the end, Blue is stopped, and she is stripped of her status as a fairy. Nova will become in charge of the fairies and she and Grumpy get their happily ever after (they are so cute!). Rumple becomes accepted by everyone in Storybrooke and everyone lives happily ever after.

I hope that brings closure to the series. Maybe it will be written, maybe not. But I didn’t want to leave anyone hanging and wondering when I will post something.

Thank you,
