Welcome to my profile!

I am The Butterfly Defect, Queen of Unwarranted Angst & Unnecessary Feels.

The title is, admittedly, a bit of a mouthful though, so for simplicity's sake here are a few other ways you can address me.

TBD is fine, so is Dearest Author, and you won't hear any complaints to "My Lady". If none of those suit your fancy and you really wanna be difficult about it?

Well, then Elaina or Ellie works just fine.

A few things you guys should know:

I update spontaneously, and when I say spontaneously I do mean it. Usually I update my stories a few chapters one after another in an unholy procession until my creative streak dies out and writer's block settles comfortably in.

I do not abandon my stories, ever. That thing about writer's block? Yeah, it'll keep me in a choke hold for a good long while and that's when I like to jump to another one of my publishes stories and work on that until writer's block jumps over to me there. It's a back and forth process where i hop between fics in a desperate attempt to stay away from writer's block while it stalks me menacingly. So, no, I don't abandon stories, it just takes me a few months to get back to them sometimes.

What else?

I like to write about five chapters before I publish a fanfic, and I come up with ideas for new stories all. the. time. However, that doesn't mean I write them down and start building on the idea; I have a criteria for every fic I decide to write, and if the idea doesn't hit all three then I leave it in The Abyss of Half-Baked Fic Ideas To Ponder Over Later (The Abyss for short.).

Here are the criteria:

Is there a plot or general point?

Is it a story worth telling, a story worth the time I would have to put into it?

Can I do the characters justice?

As odd as it might sound, those three questions do a splendid job of weeding out Potentials from Abyss Dwellers.

Now for a quick About Me for the truly curious:

I am 21, vaguely contemplating the pros and cons of college (debt vs. degree), and my sign is Libra.

I love anime, manga, books, movies, tv shows, theater plays, etc.

I also don't have a beta and unless I get some serious complaints I probably wont ever get one because it sounds like a lot of trouble and communicating and the beauty of FanFiction is that no one has to see how awkward and introverted I am.

My fandoms:

Harry Potter, Naruto

Sherlock, Avatar: The Last Airbender

Fairy Tail, Vampire Academy

Supernatural, Hamilton

The Hobbit, Attack on Titan

Sailor Moon, Vampire Diaries/The Originals

Gakuen Alice, Percy Jackson and the Olympians

The Ghost Bird Series

& Literally Anything Written By Cassandra Claire

There are two sections below one, for the stories I have already published

Another for the stories I'll be publishing soon, so you'll all get to see what you have to look forward to (or not?)

Stories published:

Expectations & Revelations (Naruto)

An SI-OC story in an AU-Narutoverse.

My name is Uzumaki Nao, though it wasn't always.

Once, long ago, I'd had a different face, had answered to a different name.

Then I died.

Instead of staying dead though, I found myself reincarnated into a world I had thought I'd known well.

Expectations can be a dangerous thing here, I was beginning to realize.

Konoha was not as safe as I had thought.

The shinobi villages weren't safe at all.

Everyone wanted something from me, and the revelation that I was a target hit me hard.

But it wouldn't keep me down, because this was my second chance at life.

I would have my freedom.

I would have it no matter the cost.

Also:

Rabbit of the Moon (Sailor Moon)

SI-OC story Adopted by ThePureWhiteFeather

I never asked for this to happen to me.

I never wanted to live her life, but here I was, trapped in the body of an adolescent Usagi Tsukino.

I wasn't a hero, or some savior of the universe, and these people were about to get a rude awakening.

After all, I certainly didn't wish for this, and I never said I'd play along.

Tokyo would have to find a new moon princess

Because this one wasn't available.

And Also:

Disgrace Me (Naruto)

OC twinfic in the Naruto-verse

How far would you go to save the people you love, and what lines would you cross in order to protect them? Be loyal, they always said. To your village, to your comrades, to your clan, to your family. Uchiha Asami understood concepts such as loyalty, duty, honor. However, in the wake of tragedy Asami was finding that there was very little she wouldn't do to keep her world from shattering entirely.

Stories in the works of being published:

Of Burdens & Blessings (ATLA)

A Self-insert story in Avatar: The Last Airbender (Slight AU)

Karma was a bitch, and her weapon of choice?

Reincarnation.

Let me begin by explaining that until recently, I had zero belief in any type of god or afterlife.

Maybe that was why, out of all people, it was me that ended up here.

Born into the Fire Nation during the worst time possible, and to the royal family no less.

I knew this world and how this story would end.

War was coming to my doorstep, and I was on the losing side.

My name is princess Azula.

I'm one hundred percent screwed.

And:

The Cruelty of Second Chances

In the shinobi world, you fought for your village, for your team, and for the future.

I had fought for humanity, I had paid my dues, so I should have been given the death I was owed.

Instead, I found life.

I found a Konoha that, while ideal, had no right to exist.

Kakashi-sensei had his team, Naruto had his parents, and Sasuke had his clan.

It was a seemingly perfect world, where team seven had an actual chance at being happy.

I didn't want it though, hadn't asked for it.

It was a seemingly perfect world, for everyone that wasn't me.

After losing peace in the death that I was owed, this Konoha made my stomach turn.

This Konoha was a reminder of what should have been, and after the hell I'd been though?

It was a nightmare.
