NEWS: Prompted by an at present extremely hectic life, I'm currently suffering from rather bad writer's block. Unfortunately this means a new chapter's appearance within the next few weeks is doubtful. If you want to be kept up-to-date when the next chapter is published, then I suggest adding the fics to your alert list.

The stories will be finished, just not instantly.

Deep, deep apologies to all my amazing and loyal readers.

Hey there! My name's Cleo.

Anyways, some facts about me I suppose.

I'm 23 and am currently working part-time while completing a Legal Practice Course in London town UK. And yes, I'm just as pedantic and argumentative as the average law student, and just as busy, so sorry if there's a long time delay in updates.

I'm originally Scottish though (I HATE HAGGIS & KILTS), and for me home is on a tiny island where nothing EVER happens. Seriously. Nothing.

I'm tall (like nearly 6 ft) and my hair's naturally a light brown colour, although atm it's dyed dark blonde. Apparently you need to know what I look like, so there you have it.

Things that really annoy me in stories
- The verb of deduction is DEDUCE not DEDUCT. They mean entirely different things. (this is particularly notable in Sherlock fics)
- Fics that include pain-filled emotional moments or memories of drug use. Anyone who's ever actually been an addict will tell you that 98 percent of these scenes as complete balls.
- Anything remotely love-at-first-sight-ish. This includes second and third and fourth sights as well. People do not magically fall in love.
- Mary-Sues. Just those OCs that are too good at everything. People have flaws.
- Similarly the typical fiery hot-head OC with the perfect come backs. Trust me, if you met them in real life you'd think they were a tool.
- People who get homophones mixed up. Worst offenders are; FORTH/FOURTH, WHO'S/WHOSE, ENSURE/INSURE, THROUGH/THREW, WEATHER/WHETHER, ALLOWED/ALOUD, and of course the classics THEY'RE/THERE/THEIR and YOUR/YOU'RE

Complete
Melanie Hunt is an intelligent woman. She had always prided herself on that. And yet, suddenly, she meets a man that somehow makes her feel not-so-intelligent any more.

The Game That I Lost (Season 2)
(BBC's Sherlock)
Music Playlist
Moodboard
Ongoing
Melanie Hunt is coming to terms with the fact that she might actually be Sherlock Holmes' girlfriend, but that doesn't mean her feelings for the sociopathic detective are becoming any easier to understand. And Sherlock's usual antics aren't particularly helping the matter.

The Game That We Play (M rated)
(BBC's Sherlock)
Ongoing
Amazing fan-made banner
A drabble-like collection of all the moments within The Game That You Learnt and The Game That I Lost which are too graphic to be included within their 'T' ratings.

Call For Help
(Katie MacAlister's Dark Ones Series)
Music Playlist
On hiatus
Kalila Naihovic stumbles across a whole new side of life. One that includes vampires, demon lords, curses, wards, and the odd ghost or two. Something tells me she won't be too pleased to find out that this world may be where she belongs after all.

The Other Side of This
(True Blood)
On hiatus
Theresa Jackson was an ordinary girl from a not-so-ordinary family. Unfortunately, the tables are about to be turned as she gets dragged into something far bigger than her ordinary little self. And vampires are definitely not the most helpful of creaures.

A Single Step
(Harry Potter)
On hiatus
The life story of Cassandra Syter, Hogwarts student 1989-1996. Her laughs, her tears, and her loves.
