Pairings I Love/Like: Will/Elizabeth (always and forever - I shipped them before I even knew what a 'fandom' was, and that will never, ever change - and what about the At World's End trailer: the passionate mid-battle kiss, the spur-of-the-moment proposal? so romantic - they're totally meant for one another), Harry/Ginny (my Harry Potter one true paring - yay, canon!), Ron/Hermione (because...well, who else is there for these two? they are so inevitable it would be laughable if it weren't simultaneously frustrating), Neville/Luna (my only non-canon ship, and I only ship them casually, mostly because all the fanfiction I have ever read that mentions them is ridiculously adorable), Remus/Tonks (not only because they're canon but because they really do love each other - and just because two males have a close relationship does not make them gay; I think the world tends to forget that), Teddy/Victoire (my One True Pairing of the Next Generation - the new Harry/Ginny!), Scorpius/Lily (for no particular reason that I can discern other than just because, which isn't really a reason at all), Jackie/Hyde (from That 70's Show - because pretty rich bitch and hot zen wastoid = unexpected love)

Pairings I Dislike: Pretty much every non-canon ship ever conceived in the fandoms I dabble in, but I suppose I should go into more detail: Norrington/Elizabeth (because when your bride-to-be asks you to save the life of another man as a wedding present to her, it should clue you in to the fact that .), Jack/Elizabeth (because attempts on one another's lives - i.e. pointing a pistol at her head for burning your rum or chaining him to the mast of a ship that is about to be devoured by a kraken regardless of the means by which you do it - are not romantic in the least, especially if any of said attempts are successful, nor do they prove that either party is in love with the other, whether it be secretly or otherwise - personally, I think Sparrington, which I find funny and amusing for a slash ship, is more likely than 'Sparrabeth' ), ALL NON-CANON HARRY POTTER SHIPS (this runs the gamut from slash - ew! - to incest - bigger ew! - to the more relatively normal ones like Harry/Hermione, Draco/Ginny, Ron/Luna, etc. - I am sorry, I just do not subscribe to them - if you do, that is OK, please do not flame me, these are just my personal thoughts and opinions)

Random/Interesting Facts About Me: Not only am I fraternal twin, but my sibling and I have different birthdays (we were born over midnight) and different Zodiac signs as well, something rather uncommon. Also, I usually do not read fanfiction for the fandoms I write for (with the exception being Pirates of the Caribbean).

My Stories:

Reluctance: This story is based off the current two books in the Inheritance Trilogy written by Christopher Paolini. The actions takes up just after the end of Eldest. In it, Eragon is approached some time after the Battle of the Burning Plains by a mysterious black dragon with pleas to save his dying Rider. As Eragon nurses the girl, Ophelia, back to health, he quickly learns that she is nothing like he expected-or hoped-she would be. As time passes, the two Riders begin to forge a frienship as more and more of Ophelia's mysterious past is revealed, but will their differences tear apart what could become the most powerful team in all of Alagaesia?

Wedding Night Seamonsters: A (now) AU oneshot written shortly before the release of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Wedding Night Seamonsters is based on the idea that our ever-confident heroine, Elizabeth Swann, the new Mrs. William Turner, has a sudden attack of the jitters on her wedding night. Will her husband be able to assuage her fears? Read to find out!

Where We Go She Cannot Follow: Another wedding night story (it is rather odd that I have written two, is it not?) only this one is sort of a missing moment from At World's End that will turn into something of a what-Elizabeth-gets-up-to between her parting scene with Will and the breaking of the the Curse. I have already began work on the follow-up chapters, some of which I actually like, a rather rare occurence for me, as I tend to think everything I put up is junk. I may eventually edit the first chapter a bit as well, as I quickly got frustrated with it and posted it without reading it over enough times, but just to fix the grammar/construction mistakes.

My name is Tiffany

I am three,

My eyes are swollen

I cannot see,

I must be stupid

I must be bad,

What else could have made

My daddy so mad?

I wish I were better

I wish I weren’t ugly,

Then maybe my mommy

Would still want to hug me.

I can’t do a wrong

I can’t speak at all

Or else im locked up

All day long.

When im awake I'm all alone

The house is dark

My folks aren’t home

When my mommy does come home

I'll try and be nice,

So maybe I'll just get

One whipping tonight.

I just heard a car

My daddy is back

From Charlie’s bar.

I hear him curse

My name is called

I press myself

Against the wall

I try to hide

From his evil eyes

I’m so afraid now

I’m starting to cry

He finds me weeping

Calls me ugly words,

He says its my fault

He suffers at work.

He slaps and hits me

And yells at me more,

I finally get free

And run to the door

He’s already locked it

And I start to bawl,

He takes me and throws me

Against the hard wall

I fall to the floor

With my bones nearly broken,

And my daddy continues

With more bad words spoken,

"I’m sorry!" I scream

But its now much too late

His face has been twisted

Into an unimaginable shape

The hurt and the pain

Again and again

O please God, have mercy!

O please let it end!

And he finally stops

And heads for the door

While I lay there motionless

Brawled on the floor

My name is tiffany

I am three,

Tonight my daddy

Murdered me

And you can help

Sickens me top the soul,

And if you read this

and don’t pass it on

I pray for your forgiveness

Because you would have to be

One heartless person

To not be effected

By this Poem

And because you are effected,

Do something about it!

So all I ask you to do

Is pass this on!

IF YOU ARE AGAINST CHILD ABUSE

Please pass it on.
