My name is Beth.

I've finally completed my education for now so I look forward to writing for pleasure again. Here's hoping that my previous muses see fit to visit me once again. I fully intend to finish my WIPs.

Currently obsessing over Reylo and fighting the urge to join the writing fray.

o

The Masquerade of Indifference (formerly A Lack of Indifference) is being re-posted to move it from my other penname.
I seem to have misplaced the chapters, though, so this is on hiatus. I do plan to finish it eventually. This story is a That
70's Show, Jackie and Hyde story, set post-season 8 and all season compliant. NOT ABANDONED.

If Only is a Gossip Girl, Chuck & Blair story. Basically, I've been re-writing season one from Seventeen Candles with a twist:
Blair spent the night in Chuck's suite instead of going home. All the craziness that follows is what I think that one change
may have set in motion for the rest of the season. Currently in A Thin Line Between Chuck and Nate. NOT ABANDONED.

One-shots happen when I'm blocked, so look for them from time to time. The two 'That 70's Show' one-shots posted here
were moved from my previous penname and are Jackie & Hyde-centric. Clueless Experts is set in season 7 and Who Needs
You? I Do. is set in season 8 and acts as an episode cut-scene that could have (and should have) happened to give the
characters some closure. Both are what is considered smut, so know that you've been warned.

I Have You to Thank is a one-shot that sprang from my anger over the Gossip Girl season one finale. It picks up where the
episode left off to answer the questions: "Who is Chuck Bass," and "Will he cheat?" Of course, it's Chuck & Blair. Naturally.

We Belong Together immediately follows Chuck and Blair's exit from the wedding during "Much 'I Do' About Nothing." I've been
told that it belongs in both the T and M sections, so consider yourself warned as I've labeled it "soft-core" smut. Basically it's
the infamous limo ride revisited, but with a tiny twist. RATED M FOR ADULT CONTENT

Knowing What You Need was written based off of a few spoilers for episodes 201-203. The story is basically what my
idea of a early Season 2 Chuck and Blair reunion could have been like. Two-shot, completed.

What the Heart Wants was written based on spoilers for episode 203 and was kind of my way of justifying Blair's actions
regarding her relationship with Lord Marcus verses her obvious feelings for Chuck.

Caught Between "Goodbye" and "I Love You" is set after episode 204 and is my idea of what could happen if Blair confronted Chuck
after he dethroned her. This will not be continued. RATED M FOR ADULT CONTENT

Anniversary is my cut-scene for episode 209 and is a Blair birthday scene between CB. Also contains a scenario under which the
much anticipated "I Love You's" would be exchanged.

Tell Him came to me after reading spoilers for episode 208 and is my spin on the 'what would happen if Serena had been the one
to give Blair the courage to go after Chuck' scenario. Written from Serena's POV but is all about CB.

What if I Said is a COMPANION PIECE to 'Tell Him' and basically addresses the same storyline as that one-shot but from Blair and
Chuck's perspectives. This is a two-shot with some of the same dialog as the other only with Blair's emotions; Completed.

Shape of My Heart is another early season two CB reuniting set immediately after episode 202 when Blair spends the night with
Serena at the Bass penthouse. Two-shot, completed.

Lost in this Moment is something that I write for CB when I'm really happy with them. LOL. It's set after the 215 'I'm done' conversation
at Blair's elevator and quickly spins into an outlandish way for them to resolve their issues. Warnings include fluff and flutters of hearts that
still beat for Chuck & Blair to get it together and just be happy. Series, in progress. AU after season 2, episode 15. NOT CURRENTLY UPDATED.

Watch Me Bleed

For some, music is not just a pastime,
It's an undeniable fact of living,
A blissful slaver of mind, body and soul.
To rise above the ashes of mediocrity is rare,
Yet the gift of song is freely handed out to anyone who cares to receive it,
Instantly shattering our daily drudgery.

The path to pursue more than the usual,
More than what is safe and known,
Is wrought with time-sharpened jagged blades that cut deep,
Blocking many from the road to something greater,
Beyond the stunted imagination of their peers.

Within the veins of the few,
Passion fills every sinew with a sweet unquenchable purpose,
Calming the fear of those treacherous paths.
Though each slice burns and bleeds,
Still they take each cut
And wear the scars with pride to signal their choice,
That undying pursuit of greater joy within every chord.

And so they say - Watch Me Bleed!
