Author has written 15 stories for Tales of Symphonia, Xenoblade Chronicles, Legend of Zelda, Choices, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Avengers, and Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Hi everyone!

I write fanfiction mostly for video games. My main genres are adventure (with some action), drama, and, of course, romance (always romance). Most of my stories will focus on a certain pairing. That's usually where my inspiration/motivation comes from when writing a fic. I will usually write in canon unless I despise something. I'll do crossovers if the idea speaks to me (e.g. Scions of Mira), and I may consider doing an AU in the future. But mainly I stick with canon.
