Shards of Memory
Authors Note: So it's been forever and a day since I have posted on here. The truth is that I don't use nearly as much as I used to. I now use Livejournal. I will randomly post on here still, but most of my stuff is now archived and posted over there.
This 'Story' is a collection of drabbles; 1 chapter per drabble. Some connect, some do not. All of them are about the Alex Rider universe with the odd crossover fic thrown in.
I hope you all enjoy, and i hope that you will come over to Livejournal to see the rest of my stuff.
