A/N: November 2009 – March 2019

Hey there!

Billy here. It's been a bit, hasn't it?

Currently on a bit of a break while I wait to start my Master's in the summer.

Life's funny that way – one minute you're thirteen posting fanfiction to survive middle school, the next you've graduated college and are just sort of sitting around reminiscing. Happy y'all can join me!

That's pretty much my explanation for my absence from , AO3, and other fanfics in general – college (or ~UNIVERSITY~) as my school called itself. I started building my non-fanfic writer career and portfolio and fic just started straying more and more to the wayside. I had priorities, and I deal with them before even thinking about coming back to the fun stuff.

So of all fanfics, why Jasmine and the Prince of Thieves?

Well, it was my first real completed fanfic. I had other attempts on other forums and fansites before this one, but yeah, this one brought be a whole lot of joy in a time when I wasn't very joyous. And well, I'm not feeling too joyous now (personal issues).

I first published this fic when I was 13 in late 2009 shortly after my grandmother had passed away, so writing it was as much fun as it was a cool coping mechanism. I'm posting it again cuz it's fun to see how far I've come with my writing - plus, yknow, I like learning from past with my birthday coming up on March 13, I figured it was a fun way to celebrate a decade as a writer and as I became myself.

Here's to ten years, y'all!

Please leave a review if you're able to and thanks for reading!
