leapoffaith-13hide bio
 Author has written 18 stories for Criminal Minds, and 24. Hi there! I'm @leapoffaith_13 on twitter. Melanie in real life. I'm not really new to the writing of fan-fiction; I'm a long time reader. I love reading stories and epics. I love reading things that can take my mind of my job (aka anything newsworthy and bloody and dead and accidents). Any time you want to review, I appreciate it. I take all criticisms, but if you're just rude and mean for no reason, it will be handled swiftly. ;) I absolutely adore Criminal Minds, House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, CSI:Miami, CSI, anything David Caruso, anything Jayne Atkinson and anything HRH Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales. I ship Strauss/Rossi (Criminal Minds), JJ/Hotch (Criminal Minds), Durant/Underwood (House of Cards) and Caine/Dusquene (CSI:Miami). I live in my little corner of Pennsylvania (USA). I like making new friends. And watching Netflix. Keep in touch. - M xx |

The Power of Love by Aleize Claire reviews
Love is like a violin, the music may stop now and then, but the strings remain forever. Inspired by the Celine Dion song of the same title. One night was all Dave and Erin planned for, just one night of stolen affections and they would never look back. They didn't count on fate's helpful shove and an overactive biological clock. *WINNER* of Best Rossi\Strauss in the 2014 PCAs
