PinkElephant5hide bio
 Author has written 21 stories for Castle, Forever, and When Calls the Heart. In kindergarten I imagined new scenes for the movie Dumbo, and the pink elephants have been parading through my head ever since. I currently write mostly for the Forever fandom. ABC may have cancelled it (Booooo! Rubbish! Filth!), but FANFIC LIVES ON. Got a prompt? Send me a PM! I can't guarantee I'll fill it, but I'm open to suggestions. :) Please note: my writing is rated T and below. I also don't write slash. If either of those are what you're looking for, there are lots of great authors who will do a better job with your prompt than I would. I am on Twitter very infrequently @pinkel5. |

Two Proposals reviews

Mike Hanson Loses His Bliss reviews
"Life was so much simpler when Henry was just the slightly spooky, scarf-loving M.E. and Jo's unofficial partner slash will-they-won't-they friend. Now I know this massive, impossible secret– not that I ever asked, mind you, or remotely WANTED to know– and life is getting more complicated by the day." Hanson reveal fic.

Déjà True reviews
When Henry treats her skinned knee, Jo suddenly remembers a moment when she was almost five and he was…exactly the same. Two-shot companion to Vanishing Point, but also stands alone. Post-finale.

No Place Like Home reviews
"She didn't know his secret yet—so why was she here? Henry said the only thing he could think of. 'I can explain.' 'Save it,' Jo said. 'We're late for dinner. Welcome back, by the way.' She closed the distance between them by hooking a finger under his towel and pulling him in, and then she kissed him." Not exactly AU...more like canon-based spec fic. Or something.

Both Sides Now reviews
"At least Jo didn't witness his death moments ago, but she happened to be looking for him in exactly the right place now. Unless he didn't want his partner to find him emerging from the East River naked, yet again; then it was exactly the wrong place. This would be so much simpler if he were still bleeding to death." One story, told from above and below the water line.
