Author has written 15 stories for Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy VII, and Tomb Raider.

hello! i'm ashley.

i am 26 years old, going on 96 years old. seriously.

i do lots of things for a living - a jack/jill of all trades. freelance writing and editing happens to be one of those - therefore, my fanfic writing tends to be sporadic.

i've actually been on since 2000... many stories, several pen names. some of those stories are a bit embarrassing to admit to, but there's sentimental value in 'em.

for some reason, i've always loved writing FF8 fanfic even though it's one of my least favorite FF games. go figure. i do truly love the characters, despite the game itself - i think they're complex and relatable.

that doesn't mean that final fantasy is my main fandom, though - i read from lots of fandoms, though i might not write all of them! some of these include: doctor who, harry potter, tomb raider, ouran high school host club, psych, legend of zelda, lord of the rings, a song of ice and fire/game of thrones, true blood... i dabble.

as far as pairings, i don't believe in sticking to canon. however, whatever you choose, it should be believable and well-written! that's important.

i am obsessed with tea.

tattoos are cool. i recently got my first one and plan on getting so many more.

i probably won't turn down a glass of wine. or whiskey.

and YOU are awesome for reading all of this nonsense.


current projects include (as of 5/31/14):

. between lotus flowers: completed! woo!

. of gods and blackbirds: currently working out the plot-kinks! this is the sequel to between lotus flowers, if anyone was curious.

Ready, Set, Go! by Asynca reviews
An anthology of various Tomb Raider Survivor prompts people have given me on Tumblr that were too short to upload by themselves. Most of them are at least loosely Lara/Sam. There's fluff, humour, angst, romance and drama. I will update from time to time with new drabbles as I write them.

The Diary of Quistis Trepe by sissyHIYAH reviews
If any character in FFVIII could be considered a singleton, then Quistis Trepe is that character. No real plot, just a series of Bridget Jones-inspired diary entries.

Independence Day by bladecatcher86 reviews
I grew up to be a tech geek, but when I was a kid I idolized action heroes. Being one probably isn't as cool or glamorous as movies make it look – or as easy as Lara makes it look. But I'll do anything to impress her now. Anything. [Alex POV. Major 2013 reboot spoilers. Rated M for strong profanity and violence. One-sided Alex/Lara – or is it?]

Of Gods and Blackbirds reviews
Sequel to "Between Lotus Flowers." By nothing short of a miracle, Alex has been reunited with Lara. However, the tentative road to normalcy is destroyed when Sam is stolen by one of the old gods. The stakes are high and failure may result in the end of all things. Very loosely inspired by Neil Gaiman's "American Gods." Hard T rating for language, violence, suggestive themes. R/R!

Bucket List reviews
Lara has had one too many shots of whiskey. Alex is playing the role of designated driver. Sad, unrequited thoughts ensue. [Pre-Yamatai. One-shot. Lara/Alex. Rated T for naughty words.]

Between Lotus Flowers reviews
Alex Weiss finds himself as the lucky recipient of a second chance at life. Lara Croft is dealing with the psychological aftershocks of the Yamatai expedition. Sometimes, good people get another chance to redeem themselves. And, sometimes, the myths we know so well walk among us in ways we don't necessarily expect. (Alex/Lara, post-TR 2013, currently rated T for language)

The God and the Weight reviews
S/Q; one shot. Impending fatherhood has a way of making said father-to-be feel more and more like the child he's supposed to take care of. For Seifer Almasy, this is no different. If anything, his fears threaten to tear him at the seams. R/R.

Unrequited Cid/Aeris; one-shot. A glimpse at his more sensitive side, perhaps? Before the final battle, Cid Highwind confides in the only friend he knows won't/can't laugh at his sudden show of emotion - Aeris Gainsborough. Rated T for Cid's foul mouth.
