2/18/11: I was formerly known on this site as "jewel of athos"; as I've changed, I've chosen for my name to reflect that. I'm sorry for any confusion that this may cause. God bless!

o...o...o...o...o

HIATUS NOTICE: Due to the whims of the muse and other various plot creatures, as well as RL/personal events, the following stories have been put on indefinite hiatus; "A Great Adventure", "Alien Tradition", "Anything", "Come Back Home", "Dosage", "Forever Hungry", "Kryptonite", "Lose It All", and "Ultimatum". I apologize for any inconvenience, and I promise that I will try to finish them if I can. But I don't want to sit here and spit out crap chapters; you guys deserve better than that. Thank you so much for understanding!!

o...o...o...o...o

Because I like to cross-post on fandom-specific sites as well as here on FFN, here is my (long) list of places where you can find me:

livejournal (raindropdragons)
Atlantica (jewel_of_athos, vanishing) (currently inactive)
wraithbait (jewel_of_athos)
PsychFic (apple jacks jules)
YouTube (naughtbutpoetry)
BonesFiction (my bones)
CastleTv (ajay)
AO3 (truthtakestime)

Special thanks goes out to out to TheUltimateGinger14, The Layman, fyd818 (with whom I have a joint account under PineappleJulyn), dragonlots, Alydia Rackham, and IuvenesCor (my partner in crime). I would not be where I am today without these fine people; they are some of my dearest friends.

Thanks also to SilverSnowdrop and the VS team, who have graciously accepted me into their fantastic project (Stargate SG1 Virtual Season 11); to x-Avarice-x and Ace of Gallifrey for being especially encouraging when I was taking my first insecure steps into the Doctor Who fandom; to all my Psychfic girls (you are many, you know who you are); and to everyone else who I love. You are too many to be confined to a few small lines on my profile, but you know who you are!

I LOVE stories that make me feel, that make me breathless. I crave the rush of intensity in writing. Some of my favorite stories are deathfics, just because of the sheer EMOTION that comes with them. There are some exceptionally beautiful stories archived in my community, "Strike a Chord in Me"; take a peek through those and you'll see what I mean.

Once upon a time, I was the biggest shipper in the world. Lately, the thought of writing romance has sickened me (though I will still read it if it's well-written and in character), so I've been experimenting with other things. But from my early days into the wild world of fanfiction, I've got bundles and bundles of the stuff. Yes, I am horrified by my own sappiness. I apologize in advance. So that no one reads anything that they don't want to, I have all of the ships I've written and corresponding stories listed here (clearly marked, I hope), organized by series ;). Because I'm a geek like that O:).

Once Upon a Time

(Time Cannot Erase (Belle), The Last Dance (vaguely Rumbelle)...)

Rumpelstiltskin is glorious (and yes, apparently I like Rumbelle. And I thought I'd never ship again...), though Regina is also compelling. I wonder what this says about me...?

Stargate SG1

(Alphabet Soup and Other Snacks, I Refuse, (Life Is) Too Short, Blood and Tears, Only the Good (Die Young), Little Talks, Cam and the Five Bears...)

My Series

Respectable Scoundrels

A massive alternate universe crossover between Warehouse 13, White Collar, and Stargate: SG1 (along with a few cameos from some other favorites, notably Uncharted and Agents of Shield), centering on Neal (in a world where he never met Kate and fled to Europe instead, and was never in prison) and Vala (post-series, having parted ways with SG1 on questionable terms), as freelancing retrieval agents for Warehouse 13. Stories were not written in any particular order, and aren't chronological, but they all exist within the Scoundrels universe. Chronological Master List available on my livejournal.

1. My Boss Went to France (W13, WC, SG1)

2. Drinks in Malta (Uncharted, WC, SG1)

3. Domesticity (WC, SG1)

4. Running With No Fear (SG1, WC)

5. A Most Interesting Proposal (SG1, WC)

6. Mrs. F Takes Over (SG1, W13, WC)

7. In No Way, Shape, or Form (W13, WC)

8. Stalking My Girlfriend (SG1, WC)

9. Keller Killed the Mood (and some other things) (SG1, WC)

10. Attempted Requisition of Assets (W13, AoS)

11. Partners In Not-Crime (W13, SG1, WC)

The Allomancy Jobs

A fusion of sorts between Leverage and Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn books (the first one is basically a giant heist anyways). Leverage universe allomantic powers. There is currently no over-arching plot, just a collection of pieces set in this universe. Most stories will be self-contained.

1. Snap

Usually, copy and pastes drive me NUTS... but here are several that I can't help but appreciate. Man, these bring me back!

The white man said, "Colored people are not allowed here." The black man turned around and stood up. He then said: "Listen sir... when I was born I was black, When I grew up I was black, When I'm sick I'm black, When I go in the sun I'm black, When I'm cold I'm black, When I die I'll be black. But you sir, When you're born you're pink, When you grow up you're white, When you're sick, you're green, When you go in the sun you turn red, When you're cold you turn blue, And when you die you turn purple. And you have the nerve to call me colored?" The black man then sat back down and the white man walked away...
Post this on your profile if you hate racism.

If you have inside jokes... with yourself...

If you have ever seen a movie (or show) so many times that you can quote it word for word, and you do at random moments..

If you have seen a TV show so much that you can tell anyone what episode they are looking for just by hearing a little piece from it..

If you've ever walked into a wall because you were looking sideways at a friend...

If you're one of those people who get excited when you see just two reviews...

If you can't think of chipmunks without thinking of Leo, copy and paste this to your profile.

Hello, my dear and faithful friends.
I would like to take a moment to thank you for being beautiful, and encouraging, and continuing to look at my stuff even when I am the most inconsistent poster on the planet. My (relative) few WIP's haunt me, but I am so far from that place that I am not quite sure I can ever get back to them. It saddens me. But at the same time I have hope, because I can look back and see how far I have come in skill, in form, in commitment - it has been years since I left a story unfinished here. And it has allowed me to connect with some incredible people as we refine our craft in an effort to make something beautiful.
...Apparently, I have become verbose in my "old age". Is that the right word for this?
Again, thank you for bearing with me. While I can no longer guarantee quantity, it is with reasonable confidence that I promise you quality in the works that I put out. Thank you so much for taking the time to read, you all mean the world to me!
