    Summary

    It was supposed to be a calm, quiet voyage. Very few people knew it would end in tragedy.

    That all changes on the 10th of April, when Geese start chasing both passengers and crew alike. Morals and marriages are forgotten as they try to deal with what everyone believes to be a myth. Will they avoid the iceberg and live happily ever after, or are some soulmates doomed to the freezing waters of the North Atlantic?

    Summary

    ADDITIONAL CHAPTER ADDED.

    ‘John Walker’s eyes take Anne in, quickly assessing her appearance. Her slightly androgynous look is further emphasized by the faded jeans, t-shirt and work boots. He’s heard stories about Anne Lister, his mysterious neighbor from Shibden Hall. The rumors of her being the female version a libertine, a lothario rum rampant throughout Halifax, precede her. But he’s also heard about her reputation as an outstanding project manager and a clever businesswoman. He’s willing to forego his personal opinions on the rumors of her sexual prowess if he can get a quality product out of her. Besides, he has nothing to worry about with his daughters. After all, the eldest is married, and the youngest all but engaged.’

    The AU where Anne Lister is a construction manager and builds a house for Ann, paid for by her father, John Walker.

    What could possibly go wrong? :-)

    Summary

    Ann Walker has always been an avid reader. But, you see, the problem is that Ann could never see herself in those stories; they were all about a woman falling in love with a strong, handsome man. She’s always wondered if there was something, anything, that would make her heart beat faster, and it was then, on a warm afternoon that she found Helen’s Diary.

    Anne Lister was a bitter and lonely woman, even though she'd been married to Mariana for almost 15 years. Writing was the only thing that kept her from going crazy, and that's how she became a very successful writer, publishing The Secret Diary of Helen Foster.

    But neither of them knew that their fates would collide and put them at risk.

    A slow burn with a happy ending. Lots of angst, drama, dirty secrets, bitter and snappy Anne, sweet and cute Ann, the disgusting tribe and Mariana being Mariana, as usual. You've never read a story like that before, I promise.

    For all of you waiting on a chapter from one of my stories, thank you, but for various reasons, I cannot devote the time or energy to posting at this time. I apologize if this is disappointing. While I do not intend on deleting my account, I want to let people know that I may be leaving the unfinished stories as is for the foreseeable future. It seems like there have been other writers posting more recently, so that's a positive thing. I wish you all the best!

    Summary

    Anne Lister is a professor at Manchester University and Ann Walker her student. Life, lust, and love take them both for a ride as they do their best to hang on.

    This story is in many ways a tribute to Mariana, and a little tip of the top hat to the Mariana fans out there. I don’t think for a second that she would have been unfaithful to Anne if their love story was set in a time where it was socially and economically possible for her to stay.

    Anne on the other hand… in the most loving and understanding way I must admit that I have much less confidence she would have been able to do the same…

    I´ve enjoyed a lot of really great works in here over the last few years, and although late to the game - I felt it was time to sign up and give a little contribution back. It´s my first take at this kind of writing, but I´m hoping it will hit the spot.

    Summary

    “Anne, Aunt wants you.” Marian’s voice is laced with glee. Anne looks up from her phone, half a Twix still in her hand.
    “Huh?”
    “Aunt Anne. Kitchen. Now.” Marian frowns. “Have you eaten all of your chocolate already?”
    Anne shoves the Twix in her mouth. “Now I have.”
    “That’s disgusting.”
    “Are you fat-shaming me?” She pockets her phone and follows her younger sister towards the kitchen, chewing angrily.
    “I’m saying you shouldn’t talk with your mouth full,” Marian corrects. Anne groans and overtakes her to push open the door.
    “You wanted me, Aunt?” She hops up onto the worktop, swinging her legs. Her aunt turns from the cooker and scowls.
    “Down from there!” She tuts. “Yes. I want you to take these over to the Walkers, please.”

    She holds up a cellophane bag filled with cookies. On closer inspection they’re her best kind; chocolate with cinnamon and filled with caramel. Fucking delicious, especially with coffee on winter mornings. Anne groans again.

    or, it's christmas and aunt anne sends her long-suffering niece to bring some christmas cheer to their neighbour, ann walker.

    Summary

    This is a one off, quickie. Was on my mind after revisiting the journal entries related to the Blackstone Edge incident, which are just plain heartbreaking. So I am throwing this one down. Hope you enjoy and thanks for reading it!

    Summary

    “See you there, handsome.”

    With a smirk and a wave, Mariana slipped out of her office and all Anne could do was dumbly touch the spot on her face where Mariana had kissed. She looked down at the piece of fabric that was pressed into her hand.

    A blue handkerchief, with “CALL ME”, and a phone number written in thin, looping cursive with permanent silver marker.

    Lord, this woman would be the death of Anne.

    Contemporary/modern AU where Anne is a dapper butch classics professor, Mariana is a posh professional Opera singer, and they’re falling for each other entirely too fast.

    Summary

    Anne can feel herself moving into unfamiliar territory, her thoughts and emotions barreling towards the precipice of…dare she even think it…monogamy? In spite of her built-in guardrails, the barriers she put up after all her trials and tribulations with Mariana, it’s a risk she’s willing to take. She likes Ann. A lot.

    **********

    Anne Lister bets her new neighbor that she can make a woman fall madly in love with her in 30 days or less. But in this case it’s not just any woman…it’s Ann Walker.

    An attempt at fun, humor, and some sexy stuff. And there’s some corporate takeover stuff in here, too.

    Just take a chance and read it 😎. You might be surprised.

    Nobody dies!
