Author has written 7 stories for Harry Potter, and Merlin.

Hi. I'm in college, I like applesauce, and I have an unhealthy obsession for way too many things. I'm really a friendly person who enjoys socializing IMMENSELY - online.

Merlin is my jam. Its the . . . everything. I don't remember who I was before I watched it (all of it in about three weeks), but the broken piece of person that it left me has found comfort beyond measure in fanfiction.

Anywho, I take a bit to update because believe it or not I have things to do besides what I love to do, and I go to college. Reviews always speed up that process, just because I harp over chapters for DAYS after I've written them, out of worry and paranoia and insecurity, but when I have a great response to a previous chapter I feel way more confident posting. And sadly vice versa, most of the time.

Merlin and the Cup of Life is on semi-permanent hiatus. I might take it off. I might end up continuing it, and finishing it. I honestly have no idea. It was my first idea, so I was a bit in over my head when I started it. We'll see I guess - I wouldn't recommend reading it, because it'll leave you hanging (duh).

RIVULET, is a very suspenseful, (FINALLY) completed story about ghostwhisperer!Merlin, Mergana because YEESS, and Merlin meeting all of our favorite characters (some a bit see-through) not only in a modern setting, but waaay later in the game. PLUS a homidical ghost. I definitely recommend it if you're into mystery and/or Mergana.

Still A Secret is a shorter work of fiction that I got an amazing amount of response to in the short amount of time it was worked on. Complete, post-canon AU where Arthur lived and Mordred stayed great. Oh yeah, and Arthur is waiting on Merlin for the magic reveal still after making it legal, heehee. Check it out!

How to Save a (Love) Life is SHAMELESS MERGANA. JUST SHAMELESS MERGANA CRAP. You've been warned. (Complete, and probably my favorite to write.)

Chink in the Armour: A crack-ey whump-ey canon-ey fic. No magic reveal, no divergence from canon, just a little side adventure. And a very silly song.

Recruit is the first part of my newest, biggest bestest project! It's a pre-Canon AU in a very different setting than Camelot's stone halls - though that has been what Lord Uther has been fighting for the better part of fifteen years. Recruit is really about Arthur and Merlin though, and the (even more) restrained beginnings to what becomes a very fast friendship despite the heightened power imbalance between them. To summarize: Merlin is too good for this world and saves Arthur in more than one way.

Innate is the second part, following Recruit about five years ahead in time. It's told in Merlin's POV, and features a lot more characters from canon, a lot of OCs, a lot more battles and a big bad awesome group called the Innate, who may or may not be an enemy.

Alright, that's me finished.

Cheers!
