Author has written 6 stories for Scarlet Pimpernel, and Legend of Korra.

Kisses on The Steps is first, and foremost, a SP fangirl (if you can't tell from my pen name, it's from the 16th chapter of the Scarlet Pimpernel). Although there are few who share her interest, she remains faithful to Sir Percy Blakeney and his League. She also enjoys Mortal Instruments, Infernal Devices, Harry Potter, Divergent, Maze Runner, Jane Austen (specifically P&P, and S&S), Percy Jackson (Both series), The Winner's Curse, Selection, TFIOS, Hunger Games, Les Mis, LOTR and Hobbitt (the book not the stretched-out 3 movies) Phantom, ATLA/TLOK, Arrow, Reign, Downton Abbey, Poldark, The Flash, OUAT, MERLIN and anything to do with Anthony Andrews, Dan Stevens or Tom Hiddleston. She is a devoted listener to Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, James Horner and John William's sounds-capes for awesome movies, and is eternally in love with Imagine Dragons and Paper Route. There are many more fandoms that she loves, but cannot think of them at the moment.

Her favorite quote:

"Is it love to worship a saint in heaven, whom you dare not touch, who hovers above you like a cloud, which floats away from you even as you gaze? To love is to feel one being in the world at one with us, our equal in sin as well as in virtue. To love, for us men, is to clasp one woman with our arms, feeling that she lives and breathes just as we do, suffers as we do, thinks with us, loves with us, and, above all, sins with us. Your mock saint who stands in a niche is not a woman if she have not suffered, still less a woman if she have not sinned. Fall at the feet of your idol an you wish, but drag her down to your level after that-the only level she should ever reach, that of your heart." -Percy Blakeney in "I Will Repay," Chapter 7.

Okay-I'm done with writing third person in this bio.

The Beginning:Is DONE (actually I am planning to do some revisions on the first half. Just better grammar and improvement on vocabulary/conversation)

Armand and His Angel: Done! Very short story that covers the general beating up of poor Armand

The Scarlet Pimpernel and the Hag: One-shot where Percy AND Marguerite dress up as hags. After reading The Beginning, you might just want to get some happy feelings of Percy and Marguerite loving each other.

The 25 days of Blakeney Christmas: Finished! A series of one-shots at different time periods surrounding the Blakeneys-fluff, humor, tragedy, hurt/comfort during Christmastime. You name it. It's a "25 Days of Christmas" type of thing.

Harmoniously Coexisting: (On hiatus) It's weird, I ship Waava together, but seriously, look at fan-art, and you'll ship it. This story is set in the 60s with the early Civil Rights Movement where Wan and Raava are working together to fight segregation, in the midst of developing dangerous feelings for one another. I know this won't be very popular, but I'm basically writing this for me, because I love Wan SO much!

A Humble English Wayside Flower: (On hiatus) A parody where two mascots battle for fame in rival high schools...A teenage foreign-exchange student has to come to terms with her supposed (PS, he really isn't) gay boyfriend...A dance-off in the parking lot. (this is pure crack)
