 Author has written 25 stories for Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Leverage, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, and Mer Series. I never knew there was such a genre as fanfiction until college, and I realized I had been writing fanfiction for years, for many different cartoons, tv shows, and book series. I've just started being brave enough to publish some of my scribbles. I hope everyone likes my attempts- but if not, try to be positive in your comments, because as I said, I'm new at this! I mainly write for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with a concentration on Spike and Buffy's relationship, but I try to create happiness for everyone :).

Something awful happened to Hermione Granger at the end of the war against Voldemort, and now she's broken. Will returning to Hogwarts as an apprentice help fix her?

A more mature (and more mistrustful) Buffy has just gotten dumped by the guy who she would die for, literally- who happens to be the same guy. Spike wants Angel dead.

Making It To Maybe reviews
A short sequel to Dusk 'til Dawn. I strongly recommend you read that first. Buffy and Spike escaped Glory's bounty hunters, and found out that they have something more than a mere truce between them. Our heroes left the scene of battle with the understanding that maybe more would develop and now that possibility turns to reality. A smutty bridge between challenge posts. Read and en

American Girls reviews
Set in an alternate late season six. Spike can't believe he's this happy. He can't believe he's changed, she's changed, and that together they have this little bubble that hasn't burst yet. In over a century of looking for the real meaning of happiness and true love, he's found it in the most unlikely of places. It must be these American girls that have won his heart and loyalty.

Warm reviews
California has a cold snap and it's freezing in Spike's crypt. Buffy has a fever and she's burning up- not to mention that she's a little bit delirious. But just because you're loopy doesn't mean you're wrong. Maybe if you rub a frozen vampire against a boiling Slayer, both of them will get warm in more ways than one.

He's still not used to it.

A missing scene from the Mer Series Part XII: Eternity. What if Val had shown Will how much she wanted him when she needed him most? Short, mushy, potentially smutty.

Everything in Amanda and Martin's world is hard to believe. Energy vampires and girls who pull people through portals? That's old news.

From pre-series to post-series, the five members of the Leverage family reflect on why and how they have waited to find love. All perspectives are very different, but they all have one common factor- the wait was worth it. Canon pairings, Eliot is single, but still shares his thoughts. Mainly a happy, reflective piece with some poignant parts.

Walking in Dreams reviews
Early season 6. Buffy's body comes back in one piece, her mind a little less stable. Uncertain of reality, a sleep-deprived Slayer finds one thing she can cling to, waking or dreaming. Plenty of angst and stream-of-very-tangled-thought to begin with, but it has a sweet Spuffy ending.
