Author has written 25 stories for Sherlock, Harry Potter, and Supernatural.

1/3-10/17 Update: Please be advised that I will be posting a substantial amount of writing in the next few weeks. I will try not to post more than 2-3 per day, but I finally have a quick break in school and need to get a lot published before I have to deal with this upcoming semester. (Oh, yeah! I'm graduating soon!!) My motto right now is finished, not perfect. I will likely come through at a later date and fix the more glaring errors. Till then, point it out if you spot it, but otherwise enjoy!

Hi!

I am Crystal. I am a twenty something year old who writes in the few scraps of time when I am not crazy busy with other things like school and work. I have been writing since I was in middle school, although I will never ever let anyone read any of that early work. Ever. We pretend it does not exist because if we acknowledge it, the world might implode from its awfulness. In the rest of my spare time I watch too much Netflix and bake cakes.

My primary fandoms are Harry Potter and Sherlock. I also love Stargate SG1, Doctor Who, Supernatural, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Merlin, but I rarely write any of them.

I am an Aquarius and believe strongly in the Oxford comma. Any questions?

Reviews:

I always welcome reviews. I love to get feedback on my work, good or bad. I prefer (as most people do, I should think) constructive criticism, but I'll work with whatever you want to say. I am horrible at editing my own stuff, so if you see something wonky, let me know. Chances are, I'll probably never find it on my own. Especially if spell checker missed it.

I am terrible at leaving reviews. I really am. I am making a concerted effort to do better. Generally speaking, I will tell you what I liked and what might need a little work. If I find easily fixed grammar issues or something jarred me from the story, I mention them. I'm not trying to be nit-picky. I would want someone to tell me my errors, so I try to do the same for others.

Balance by whitchry9 reviews
After a kidnapping and poisoning, Sherlock's legs are paralyzed. He's not amused, obviously, and John can't help but feel a little guilty, because his mobility problems went away, and Sherlock's won't. Also featuring an annoyingly perky physical therapist, some dead bodies, and a shower scene. Written for a prompt. 16 chapters.

Like a Phoenix by chappysmom reviews
"So, why are we going to … Little Whinging? How is there even a town named Little Whinging? Is it next to Greater Whinging? Part of Blubbering County? Bisected by the Distraught River, perhaps? Ridiculous." John sighed. "Because Lestrade asked us. He said this was right up your alley—a classic locked room mystery, clearly a murder. Victim's name is Vernon Dursley." (12 chapters)

And A Doctor by StillWaters1 reviews
It was only when people actually saw John working as a physician that they began to understand: that it wasn't just about bullets and IEDs and trauma care under fire. That "doctor" actually covered a pretty wide field. And that John was bloody good at covering ground. 5 times Dr. Watson treated others and 1 time he treated himself.
