Never Alone, Never Again was the first story I ever completed. To this day, it is still my pride and joy, and the feedback I got from it gave me the courage to actually finish an original story (rather than just perpetually restarting them). The formatting is rough on most of these older works, for which I apologize. Please note when they were posted -- has added a lot of features since then, but I've been reluctant to repost anything cleaned up for fear of losing the reviews. They are precious to me, even now. :D If you find yourself reading NANA and really want to finish it, but without all the excess chatter, pm me, and I can send you an uncommented version. However, I can't promise how fast I'll be able to reply. I work full time and have a baby, so... It can be problematic. ;)

I'm mid-proof of book 2 of my original series, and while I have loved writing it, the cleanup has been tough. After seeing Captain America: The Winter Soldier, I realized I have the itch again to take on something bigger and, while doing so, realized that this could also be a good opportunity to remind myself why I want to be published in the first place. showed me how amazing it was not only to write, but also to share it with others, even though it's also terrifying. ;)

The Captain America: The Winter Soldier story is outlined, but this first chapter hasn't been beta'd. I'm just putting myself out there to get things rolling, so I apologize in advance if there are glaring omissions. Hopefully I've caught most things. I will probably update this as I get further into the story. For now, this is just me signing on and saying, "Hello, I'm still here." I still read (more than I should) and am crazy grateful for the amazing community which is fanfiction writers and readers - fellow addicts all.

A little about the other stories here...

All That's Left Behind is post-OotP and a work in progress that I have fully outlined, but lost momentum on after Book 7. I may still update someday, but at this time it is on hold.

For those of you who have read my livejournal cookies, while ATLB is similiar in some ways, it is not set in the same universe.

Never Alone, Never Again is my first completed story (and still my pride and joy g).

Make a Joyful Noise is a post-NANA cookie set within the same universe.

Folly is both a sort of standalone post-OotP cookie, and tied in somewhat (it fits, even if I didn't force it) with a series of cookies I wrote to try to deal with the trauma which was OotP. g

I do have a livejournal account listed under "homepage" above, but have not posted anything in quite a while.

Writing is my passion, and I hope to someday be paid for what I already love to do. As always, thank you so much for reading my stories. It is a pleasure sharing this world with you. I hope you enjoy,and please feel free to review. :-D
