Author has written 4 stories for Harry Potter, and Merlin.

Hello everyone! If you were looking for amertka, that's me. I've just changed my name. Occasionally, I'll use the name Thalia when I write reviews, because that's my name in Latin class. Call me whatever you like.

My main fandoms are Merlin, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Sherlock, and Doctor Who. So far I've really only written Merlin fanfics, but that is subject to change depending on whether or not I get a really good idea for any of the other fandoms.

I am relatively new to the fanfiction world, but I love it here. You are all so amazingly talented and inspire me to improve my writing. I've read some stuff on here that is better than some published novels that I've had the misfortune to read. Seriously. Some of you should get publishing deals.

I love your reviews and would welcome any commentary you have on how to improve my writing. I always have something new to learn.


My OTP's (yes, plural. Who could have just one?):

Freylin (Freya and Merlin from Merlin)

Percabeth (Percy and Annabeth from Percy Jackson)

The Doctor and Rose (from Doctor Who)

I see Merlin and Arthur as having a brotherly love between them. More agape than eros, if you know what i mean. I adore John and Sherlock's friendship, but as for love between them, see the previous sentence.

I don't write or read slash. Ever. You have been warned.


Favorite Quotations:

"Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff.’ Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness’.”
― John Green

“The universe is big. It’s vast and complicated and ridiculous. And sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles.”
— The Doctor

“We’re all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?”
— The Doctor

“Percy: Don't I get a kiss for luck? It's kind of a tradition, right?
Annabeth: Come back alive, Seaweed Brain. Then we'll see.”

--Rick Riordan

totastethestars is my tumblr, if any of you were interested. The above gifset is not mine, but something that appeared on my dash one day and caused me to think "Hey! Wouldn't that make a great fic?"

This We'll Defend by Tara Laurel reviews
"The detective wasn't sure when or how it happened..the next thing he could remember was something that, even in the current fog of his mind, he could never forget. A single gunshot. And a single, stifled, yet sharp scream." John's wounds leave him more damaged than Sherlock can imagine. The doctor is trapped in his own mind, a playing field Sherlock is sure he can win on.

Of Twisted Morals and Human Weaponry by BeyondTheStorm reviews
One month. It had been one month since Merlin had disappeared. When Arthur set out to find his missing servant, he hadn't had much of a plan, but he's pretty sure that getting kidnapped and being held for ransom by a morally imbalanced weapons dealer hadn't been part of it. *Friendship, no slash, eventual magic reveal*
