This fic is being discontinued. I will leave it posted but I regret that I am unable to finish it. I am not the same person I was when I began it and my muse is no longer cooperating where this story is concerned. In the case of Pearl of the Sea, I will be revamping it into an original story. In the case of Sun and Shadow, I'm pretty well done writing romance for now. Yes, that means I'm also hanging up my slash writer's hat too. I have one last installment of my Wanker series under my Wednesday's Child pen name and that series will be concluded. All my other WIP will be completed as I am able.
In case you weren't aware, I have been collaborating in recent years with the incredibly talented Lerouret on a Marvel Alt-universe series. It's rather entertaining, if I do say so myself, mostly because Lerouret and I both are crazy old broads. She's posted some of it here on but the entirety of it can be found on Archive of Our Own. I am over there, too, and at Stories of Arda for my Tolkien stuff.
