Tessarayhide bio
Author has written 18 stories for One Life To Live, Sherlock, and General Hospital. I'm a writer and artist living in Massachusetts. My stories are on the dark/angsty side, aim for some psychological complexity and deal frankly with sexuality. I love brooding anti-heroes and have fallen utterly and irretrievably under the spell of the actor Roger Howarth, aka OLTL's Todd Manning, and now GH's Franco Baldwin. It's a happy obsession :-) Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoy, and please leave a comment — it means the world to me. Please note that all work is copyrighted and is not to be reproduced or translated in full or part without my permission. Thank you. |

Elizabeth and Franco - The Next Move reviews
Are Elizabeth and Franco playing Ava and Nikolas or are they getting played? A one-shot that attempts to address those weird kisses. Not sure if this makes any more sense than what we're seeing onscreen, but I had to take a stab at it.

Elizabeth and Frandrew: SCENES reviews
After a freak experiment "overwrites" him with Drew's memories, Franco seems gone, but is he? Elizabeth doesn't think so and she'll do whatever it takes to get him back. Story briefly nods at canon, then waves bye-bye.

Todd & Téa - Plausible Deniability reviews

Franco and Elizabeth: PORTRAITS reviews
Complete. With Franco's help, Liz is experiencing an awakening which isn't necessarily welcome... by either of them. Liz POV throughout. Set between her tumble down the stairs and the return of Tom Baker, but doesn't follow canon. Deals frankly with sexuality and Franco's dark past. Contains some kink.

Franco and Scotty: Son reviews
Scotty finally learns the truth about Franco and Jim Harvey. This is a beat I hoped GH would have played, but no such luck. Edited to add: So GH finally did play this beat on-screen today (4/5/18) and it was well done. Just consider this story AU.

On the Eve of Her Wedding… reviews
An explicit one-shot from Elizabeth's POV, written before Franco's abuse storyline wrapped up... so it's missing that one, very important revelation, which would certainly have changed the tone. Anyway, hope you enjoy!
