Author has written 9 stories for Mortal Instruments, Greek Mythology, Pride and Prejudice, Norse Mythology, and Avengers.

I write stories, which is probably a given, but still.

I write about The Mortal Instruments, and that's probably all I'll write about.

So, yeah.


And, hey! Guess what? I have a Pinterest board for Fading (and now one for Paradox as well)! The board itself is titled "Fading" but in case you can't find it, my username is: villainilla

So have fun with that. There's pictures of their clothes and hair and faces throughout the story. It's pretty damn cool. (At least in my unpopular opinion it is.)


I will write angsty garbage that will make you want to either a) strangle me b) strangle the characters c) cry d) tear your hair out (because I can take a long goddamn time to update) or e) give up on life (more like reading my story) forevermore. And there's nothing you can do to stop me.

NOTE: I have a beta, she is freaking amazing and sweet and no, I don't need another one.

The (Somewhat) Chance Encounter by katethewriter reviews
Random strangers seldom burst into my apartment unannounced. So when two of them do within the span of twenty minutes—one to yell at me about salty dicks and the other to apologize for the first—it catches me slightly off-guard. But I will not go as far as to say that it was a bad thing, for what transpires afterward I never would have expected. M for language/adult themes. AU/AH
