Author has written 13 stories for Criminal Minds, Psych, Monk, Madam Secretary, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..

I am a crime show junkie, so expect the majority of my stories to be from crime fandoms.

My fandoms are (I can't name them all so this is a short list of what I remember right now):

- Law & Order: Special Victims Unit [I ship Rollisi and Barson. My NOTPs are Rollaro and Bensaro. I'm not a big Amaro fan.]

- Criminal Minds [I adore Emily Prentiss. I ship mostly Hotchniss.]

- Madam Secretary [OMG Henry and Elizabeth are goals!!!]

- The Mentalist

- Rizzoli & Isles

- NCIS [stopped watching after Ziva left. Didn't really like the show beyond its characters; very propaganda-y]

- Women's Murder Club [still can't believe it got canceled! why do they do that to all the good ones]

- Veronica Mars [ahhhhhhh I love V! Shout out to my fellow Marshmallows]

- Bones [first few seasons are the best]

- Psych [Juliet O'Hara deserves so much more appreciation]

- Chase [another show that didn't deserve to be canceled]

- Killing Eve [just got into it, but damnnn]

- That's all I can remember right now

I Would, Wouldn't You? by nonadhesiveness reviews
"Just because she says nothing, it doesn't mean that she doesn't want to." It wasn't the first time that Elizabeth had been objectified, so why did this comedian's comments cut so deep?
