“Everything must have a beginning… and that beginning must be linked to something that went before.” – Mary Shelley

In true chaotic fashion, I’ve been on quite the journey and rather busy behind the scenes over the past year. I’ve been holding on to this for months, so I’m thrilled to finally be one step closer to sharing Veda and Hiram – plus Antaris, the magic and lore of this world, and Proventia. I can’t wait to unravel this mystery with you.

Sight Unseen has lived in my head and heart for a long time. It’s not a rewrite, it's a love letter to the heart of a certain very long fic of mine. It means the world to be able to bring it into yours as my debut novel.

I’ve been asked about publishing in the past, and since writing began as an outlet for me, I always believed it was out of reach, so this whole experience has been surreal and humbling – filled with plenty of silent screaming (like my screaming cat PFP) but also so much joy in exploring my creativity.

I wouldn’t be here without so many wonderful people: my agent, who has brainstormed with me, believed in this book, and guided me through every step of the process; my family and friends, who kept me sane and yelled at me to hydrate along the way (I’d name them all, but there’s a word count limit, I’m sure). My editors and the entire team at 47North, who truly saw my vision and helped me carry it across the finish line and into life. And lastly, every fellow member of fandom -reader, writer, and lurker who supported my chaotic shenanigans (wordiness and all).

Rules: Give us the links to your fic with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the least words (feel free to interpret however you would like; if not on AO3, can be on Tumblr or FFNET, etc)!

stole this from @hazel-sage

Most hits: Under the Moonlit Sky (Harry Potter, Harry/Hermione, 5k, E) The prophecy demands a child. Harry did not expect to enjoy the process this much.

Second most kudos: A Fortuitous Accident (Harry Potter, Hermione/Severus, 3k, E) After an accident collecting potions ingredients, Hermione and Severus have to move fast, but there's one problem — there's only one shower.

Third most comments: We'll make Heaven a place on Earth (Good Omens, Aziraphale/Crowley, 38k, E) Crowley knows his worth. He can't take Aziraphale back immediately after how hurt he's been. And for once, Aziraphale has to work for that forgiveness. Both of them are a mess. Both of them go to therapy—unexpectedly, together.

Fourth most bookmarks: 30 Days (Harry Potter, Hermione/Severus, 63k, E, WIP) Hermione Granger thought she'd have her life together by age 28. So when she is suddenly forced to start over, the last person she expects to be a part of that equation is her former Potions professor. And she certainly never expected to be his sugar baby.

Fifth most words: Toast & Tea (Harry Potter, Hermione/Severus, 20k, M) Severus has been sitting next to Hermione Granger for breakfast in the Great Hall for months now. And every morning, he watches her covertly take a jar of Nutella from her robes and slather it on her toast. She seems perfectly happy to sneak the sweet treat every day while Severus sits next to her, but not once has she looked at or spoken to him, and he is determined to find out why.

Least words: Angel (Good Omens, Aziraphale/Crowley, 142, G) One possibility of what life could look like after season 2, from Crowley’s perspective
