I'm in my 30's and live with my two young children and my lovely husband, who I consider my own personal John Watson, due to the number of ways in which he has saved me.

I love Sherlock, House and Merlin. I also very much like James Bond, Cadfael, Sharpe and Due South. I've read all the Sherlock books, and I'm currently working my way through some George Macdonald, which is hard going but worth it. I probably read too much Enid Blyton as a child, but we didn't have Harry Potter in those days.

When I'm not on FanFiction I'm usually doing people's accounts or sorting out the house. When I am on FanFiction I should really be doing people's accounts and sorting out the house. And looking for more work.

I used to work for a government Agency, although I never saw anyone being interrogated during this time. If I only write a few words on each update, it's because I'm used to writing documents that people are only going to read because they really have to.

My songs for "The Sleeping Fiend"

"when it gets dark, too dark to see
I lose all faith in the fight
I can't seem to stay on my own feet
but I'll run from the night
I pray open my skin, take whatever
and the rest of it, just let it slide
though I'm more of a mess than I am of a man
you stay by my side

the day turns out like a nightmare
and there's no light left, no hope in the air
but I've seen you burn up all the clouds like a sunset
seen you rise up, though the battle's not done yet
the war is over, silent soldiers
walking home, guns slung over shoulders
the world turns so we all get older,
feel like man, I wish they'd told us

on my knees but I'm thru with pleading
last call for the train that's leaving
better hope that the wound stops bleeding
better hope that you're still found breathing"

Dove Boy and Gibbon - Glorious

"We’re broken and beautiful
Deep scars on skin
Our regrets they can be a spur
Every crack can let light in
If we raise our heads again
We’ve got a chance to mend
Those proverbs we made in the winter they must end"

"Am I coming home to you again
Or am I stupid just by design
Does it matter if you really ever know
This black dog is out of control"

"I’ve forgotten how to be myself
Keep my courage boxed up on a shelf
Why is everything I want
Always something I can’t have?"

"It hurts just to wake up, whenever you're wearing thin
Alone on the outside, so tired of looking in
The end is uncertain and I've never been so afraid
But I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope
And that makes me feel brave."

Owl City - Tidal Wave

My songs for "Bring me back to life"

"I hear spring calling, she's calling me
finally, she's been set free
she's dropping her bags down in the street
she's tripping all over her own two feet
she's coming around, drunk from deep repose

and maybe you are just like me, all pose
and baby I'm your mirror, I do suppose

but there's something in the water that is killing us (so slow)
if I'd known that you were fighting too, I'd have given up

trapping the words with my clumsy tongue
I was never more than just plain dumb
you're the silence I let run, and it's killing me"

Robin Mitchell - Soliloquy

o

"It's not like I'd ever claim to know
What shadows were pressing on your soul
It's just I wish you'd paused for breath
And you didn't have to go

I saw you were spinning from the sky
It burned in the corner of my eye
I sat there frozen in that moment
You bade us all goodbye

I was only wondering
If you had ever changed your mind
You could give it up 'cause something might happen
It's all too much but something might happen
Break this cup 'cause something might happen"

Duke Special - Something Might Happen

"How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home"
