Nights Become Days (Completed)
Maddox's work keeps her busy, too busy for an actual relationship. This has never bothered her since no one has managed to hold her interest... at least not until now. A Rafael Barba/original female character story. I originally posted it on AO3 under a different title (one I've never really liked) and am rewriting it as I post it here. It started from an idea I was kind of playing with and has an unconventional start, but as I kept writing I really started to like the development of the relationship, so much so, that it become the first story I actually finished. There's smut... lots of smut, fluffy bits too. I've fudged Barba's age a bit because I wanted Maddox to be in her mid twenties and a fifteen year age gap was as large as I was willing to go. It has thirty five chapters and I will work on rewriting them in between new chapters for my other stories. They need a lot of work. The first four were posted at once because that's the point I decided I liked the story enough to originally post it.Complete

Lie To Me (completed)
This will cross between all three shows: Criminal Minds, Lie To Me, and Law and Order SVU. Rafael Barba/Original Female Character Spencer Reid/Original Female Character Note: I am much more comfortable with the characters from SVU and tended to rely heavily on the storylines of the episodes from the other two shows... too much at times. The chapters alternate between 2009 and 2013 and eventually the three shows will come together. This story is complete, twenty chapters, and I should be able to post a chapter a night. This story is posted by me on AO3 as well.Complete
Echoes of Us
He's the storm. She's the spark. Together, they're fire waiting to catch. FBI profiler Isabella Vega has seen monsters up close, but nothing prepared her for working alongside Manhattan's sharpest-and most insufferable-ADA, Rafael Barba. He's arrogant, cold, and way too smug for his own good. She's bright, stubborn, and refuses to let him have the last word. From the moment she's assigned to SVU, sparks fly-and not the good kind. Every case throws them together, every argument cuts deeper, and every stolen glance burns hotter than either of them will admit. Enemies? Definitely. Partners? Reluctantly. Something more? They'd rather die than say it out loud. But in a world where justice is fragile and secrets are deadly, Rafael and Isabella are about to learn the hardest truth: sometimes the person you swear you can't stand... is the one you can't let go. 💼⚖️ A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, grumpy x sunshine Law & Order: SVU story.
