Author has written 13 stories for Harry Potter, Angel, and Buffy: The Vampire Slayer.

January, 2020

Note: I have a profile on Archive Of Our Own, so if you're a member, you should go follow me there, too. I do plan on posting all of my stories on both sites, but some of my upcoming Interaction stories cross the MA rating, which isn't allowed on . AO3 allows any (appropriately tagged) content, so the day may come where everything is available there and not here. I'll let you know if that happens.

Same pen name, but no spaces (so ConstantCommentTea).


Recently Posted

If It Weren't for the Piers (Angel) - The sixth of the Interaction series, with consequences for Angel's decision at the end of Enchanted Evenings.

Confidants and Rubies (Angel) - The eighth of the Interaction series (yes, I'm posting over the seventh for now, for reasons), involving sex, aging, nosy friends, and demon possession.


Works in Progress

(Untitled Sequel to And Then an Owl Flew into the Kitchen) (Harry Potter): I've planned most of it, written a bunch of it, and I know the end. I'm eager to finish this piece, so although it's been slow, it will come someday, I swear.

Interaction series (Angel): Yes, there are more. Lots more. Most of them crossover with the Blood and Time series, but not all. The current one I'm working on is still untitled and takes place when the boys are young adults making bigger life decisions. Also there's tragedy. Also upcoming is And None Contented, which is actually done and will be posted very, very soon.

Blood and Time series (Angel/Doctor Who): Angel and the Doctor. Take a moment to consider this combination... Babblefest and I did, and what we realized was: Enemies... Best friends... Epic bromance. (Best read on AO3 for organizational reasons, but you can also go to the profile for Constant Babble here on FFNet, too.) Next up: Pull to Open. In which Judith accidentally steals the TARDIS and Angel and the Doctor have to become roommates.


About me

I am a Taoist (with a strong love for Quakerism). I love writing (of course), spending time with my cat, dog, and horse, and traveling. I love craft beer and scotch. I also love humanity, despite its faults.

If I've neglected to name proper trigger warnings in my notes, please let me know. I'm woke enough to know that waking is a process that hardly ever stops.

The first word that Judith Cole ever learned was "death," and she became intimately familiar with it over the course of her life.
