Author has written 8 stories for Titanic, Vampire Academy, and Hunger Games.

Hello! I am Merra! I've been writing since, I don't know, fourth grade or such? I really enjoy the idea of finishing a story that you were unsatisfied with, or imagining new outcomes even if you were. (Heads up, I don't prewrite chapters or have an upload schedule, I'm not that organized –yet– so just bear with me, I sometimes post days apart or weeks apart, but I hope the content I'm posting is worth it.)

Main Fandoms:

Titanic: I have loved Titanic for just over a year, but it has stuck hard with me and I plan to have many stories out about Jack, Rose, Tommy, etc. I'm finding more inspiration with Tommy at the moment, because I am in LOVE with Irish culture, music, and such, so he is more relatable

Vampire Academy: I am still fairly new to this site, and there's only so many stories I can write at a time, so I've only gotten around to starting one VA fic, but I look forward to doing more of them in the future. Meanwhile, I read a TON of them to keep my Dimitri-check under control.

Hunger Games: Now, when I read the Hunger Games a few years ago, I thought, Ok Suzanne Collins, these are pretty good. But after some AU fanfics of Katniss and Peeta, I really can't stop reading these. I hope to get some written eventually, but as I said, I can't do everything at once, people.

Enigma by MadameRozaBelikova reviews
A year after Rose dies in LS, she is sent back to Earth as Lissa's bond mate, with one caveat. She can't tell anyone who she is.

Can Dimitri fall in love with her soul again despite her new status?
