Author has written 9 stories for MI-5/Spooks.

hi there!

I've enjoyed so many lovely stories from other people, (wishing i was able to write just half as well) i wanted to give something back and fingers crossed i've come out with something half decent.

My story's only cover Spooks - I love the show and the HR relationship inspires me to write.

Thanks to those who've left a review, can't explain how great it is to get feed back and know what you think. :)

Roll on Series 10! :D

...This quote caught my attention, i think it helps to sum of the whole fanfic concept, The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. Chuck Palahniuk
