She loves mermaids and time paradoxes, and she writes fiction and fanfic during various procrastination spells (adulting is hard, and one needs diversions). While she dwells firmly in the gutter, she is always looking at the stars.

When she's not working on her dissertation or catching up on sleep, she reads widely, watches selectively, and occasionally manages to act her age (what's my age again?). She speaks four modern languages and is learning a dead one, she remembers being a fangirl when Cassandra Claire was still only Internet-famous for her fanfiction, and she still thinks it was better when ships had clever names. Her enthusiasm for references in stories is probably unhealthy.

She also loves comments and conversations, just like Alice, in case you're wondering.

UPD 2020: Low-key on hiatus. Still updating White Nights sporadically and checking messages... occasionally. I hope to get back into WKOM eventually, but not at the moment. Thank you to everyone who reads, it's always lovely to see someone is enjoying these aside from me :)

A second chapter posted in as many weeks, it must indeed be very midsummer madness... Just a bit of smut of keep me (you?) going, but still. Happy Thursday!
