Such lovely tension. A good wholesome uber with all the tension you could possibly want (and then some). - Ape - Jul-01-2008 A good read. I thought it could have used a bit more spice though. Very well written. - Amanda - Jul-04-2008 a really good read well paced with believable characters. I would like to see more of Simone & Sara. - Anonymous - Jul-11-2008 Interesting story, I think it's a first for me that I prayed the whole time that the two girls wouldn't come together. - Anonymous - Jul-28-2008 D is always a great storyteller. She makes this unlikely scenario, work beautifully. - Silver - Aug-22-2011 they sure know how to throw punches.. nice read.. - october - Feb-03-2013 I don't normally enjoy a story with this much anger and fighting but the premise and resolution really works. The ending post rescue was too abrupt and left me wondering what comes next. A definite must for those who like stories with more negative emotions. - Stacia - Feb-03-2013 I loved this story! It was awesome all the way through. Great job D!!! - Xebrite - Aug-30-2016 One of the better ones! - Anonymous - Sep-03-2016 I loved rereading the story again. It's a good story. - taz - Jan-06-2018

Excellent Series. Highly recommended - colorado fan - Dec-28-2012 Highly imaginative, futuristic tale. Intrigue, mystery, a real who-dunnit that keeps you guessing throughout the entire series. Can't wait for the next one. - Anonymous - Dec-28-2012 A super contuation in an exciting and engrossing futuristic series with complex characters. A MUST read that is very well written. Thank you D for continuing to share your talent with us all. I am really looking for the new story in the series when it is completed!! - CoolNik - Jan-05-2013 Absolutely loved this! Once I got past my initial confusion at the beginning and the characters / story line began to develop, I was hooked. This series contains a great story line and marvelous dialog... now I'm hoping for a sequel, which was set up very nicely... can't wait for more! - Therese - Jan-15-2013 This story was a great read hope there is a sequel - Anonymous - Jan-24-2013 Wow, that was awesome. I definitely want to know what happens next! - Anonymous - Mar-11-2013 Really excellent series! Wonderful characters, with intrigue, romance and action thrown into the mix. There's a 5th story on D's own website, http://www.avaliantheart.com/a-valiant-heart.html, that ties up some of the loose ends. Don't miss this! - Elizb - Sep-14-2013

I wish that there had been more complete, instead of snapshots into Brooke and Sam's life together. It feels like a teaser:-) Nice but it left me wanting to know more about them and their relationship. - Lyn B - May-02-2011 this story is exactly what the title promises: bits 'n pieces.. as reader you have to fill in the blanks, while you're offered the jist of the story.. it is an entertaining read, with a little surprise at the end.. - xtra dog - Feb-02-2013

Not all first blind dates are what they seem, and not all blind dates end after the first.
For a short story, I extremely enjoyed it. I normally prefer the novels, but this was exceptional. - twidgetX - Apr 11th, 2005 Great, but a bit short in some points... :-) I liked the tension between the two of them, but it "ended" zu quickly! - Amastre - Feb-13-2008 Sweet story - Callisto - Feb-14-2008 Sweet story. I liked the characters and how their romance developed. It could have been a little longer, but I like long stories. Well worth a read. - Lyn B - Feb-13-2011 Very sweet! I liked how their relationship developed through the story. The ending seemed a little bit rushed ... I'd like to read more about this couple! - Ricky - Dec-02-2012 aww, sweet.. the ending might seem rushed, but in light of what is told, it doesn't feel rushed to me.. i understand mel got her groove back whilst writing letters to lark.. and the whole story (and how it is set up) is a result of that.. - xtra dog - Feb-02-2013 Awww, I was so sorry to see this one end. D really leaves us guessing and wanting at the end, although the buildup and beautifully tense and sweet. Would love to see a sequel from this one to fill in some of the missing pieces. - Stacia - Jul-23-2013

Blood Bond by D

Xena \| Alternative (Mature) \| Mystery \| Novel - 431 pages \| Finished \| Cast: Xena, Gabrielle, Aphrodite, Ares, Hercules (and all sorts of show and historic cameos)

This is really one fantastic story. Took me two days to read it and I loved every moment of it. Can't say much more about it without giving anything a way, so I'll end this by saying that I will be reading and re-reading it in the future. It's going on my fanfic CD! - Sherry - Nov 3rd, 2004 This one is not to be missed... Fantastic story filled with adventure and love. - Beth Goodman - Nov 8th, 2004 this is one of those stories that u can not stop reading lol vary good i love the bro\sis thing herc and gabb get in this story - Anonymous - Jun-07-2008 Excellent story! I sped through it as fast as possible and found it really compelling with excellent incorporation of historical figures into Gabrielle and Xena's lives. - blissefan - Sep-03-2008 fantastic! devoured it in one day, missed classes for it. for sure reading it again! - Anonymous - Feb-20-2009 When Xena is accidentally sent into the future post-FIN, Gabrielle must wait to reunite with her soulmate, while Xena searches for a way back to her bard. This story follows them both as they struggle with the pain of their separation, the consequences of their choices and an ever-expanding world still in need of heroes. I enjoyed this story but I was disappointed when, near the end, I was given a choice of endings. I found this to be abrupt and unexpected. For me, it interrupted the flow of the story. Overall I enjoyed the story very much. - Rio - Jul-27-2009 wow. read it. you must. - Vale - Mar-01-2010 I absolutely love this story. The mix of history and xena uniiverse is enjoyable and the characters believable. It presents a spread of emotions throughout its entirety.That and I loved the ending. - firelarc - Jun-30-2010 A very long story, but well done. - sassy123 - Nov-08-2010 very imaginative & well written. Long, but it holds your interest. Good job D. - Anonymous - Nov-17-2010 I've been searching for this story for a long time and I'm so glad I found it again. Such a beautiful story. One of my all time favorite X and G epics. - Grayson Kelly - Feb-20-2011 I haven't finished reading it yet, but I am absolutely spell bound by this novel. The author has integrated so many historical people in this story it is amazing. The story just flows beautifully! - Ec - Mar-02-2011 So many of lifes priorities fell by the way-side for this incredible story. Don't miss this amazing read! ~ Anon. - Anonymous - Jul-25-2011 great story! very glad i had the chance to read it. thank you so much to all involved in bringing this story to life. you did a fantastic job! - kjviking - Oct-13-2011 I really like this authors stories but she is a bit of a tease.She takes a long time for the build up til there finally together, but once they are it's too brief and quick on the love scenes.Still it is a tale worth taking the time to read. - uber goober - Nov-23-2011

Brave New World by D

Wonder Woman \| Futuristic \| Alternative \| Adventure \| Novel - 480 pages \| Finished \| Aug-06
The year is 2043. For over one hundred years, the world has been ruled by Nazi tyranny. The Japanese are an acknowledged power within the Reich, but they concede the supreme leadership of the Fuehrer. The United States, because of its choice to remain isolated during the conflict that was World War II, is now an occupied territory of the Nazi regime. It is also home to the Resistance. This is the story of their fight for freedom. [Wonder Woman / Xenaesque Crossover]
All I can say is that was one tremendous tale. Amazons, X&G, and Wonder Woman all bound up in a terrific novel that kept me from doing yard work, house work, and even sleep this weekend. Excellent, my highest recommendations for this story. - JS Stephens - Aug-20-2006 I couldn't stop reading this. I would have read it straight through if a little thing called work hadn't interfered. This story was fascinating and well written with a terrific plot. I highly recommend it to everyone. But don't start it unless you have alot of available time because you will not want to stop reading. - Reita Lawrence - Feb-27-2007 WOW!!! Great story - once I started reading - I couldn't turn away from the screen, until I finished (@3a.m.) I hope "D" will consider a sequal, a couple of years after this story ended ... - keysstillwishing - May-08-2007 Well done, this story was crafted very nicely. I enjoyed it immensely. I could not put it down. - juliemania - Jul-28-2008 Fantastic story!! - Maxine - Aug-02-2008 D,you are soooooooooooooooooooooooooo good at wtiting these stories!!

It is truly amazing how you have managed to weave all of these various characters into one overall fabric that completely ties together. Thank you so much for writing it. And I agree with one of the other reviews - a sequel PLEASE!! - Anonymous - Jan-08-2011 I couldnt stop reading! Awesome story line & you made it all come together... - Jayleen - Sep-10-2011 I really enjoy D's stories. They are well written and thought out.Very entertaining. The only thing that would make them better as far as I'm concerned would be for the love scenes to be a bit more in depth. - uber goober - Nov-23-2011 What an awesome Xena Wonder Woman crossover. - Wheezie - Aug-12-2013 This is an amazing story!!

I smile for days on end having read it. Thank you, D! And Athenaeum for hosting the story! - Samantha - Aug-11-2012 I just rediscovered this heartwarming story.

READ this and enjoy. - cam - Jan-14-2009 Excellent tale. But this is D we are discussing, so no surprise there. I really enjoyed the addition of familiar TV characters to the SVU story. Quite well blended.It didn't seem out of place or forced at all. I also thought it was very clever of D to mention the "Mesa Grill" as one of the scene settings. Sly bit of a nudge there D, made me smile. Please read this story. You will enjoy it. - Scotti - Jan-14-2009 Absolutely loved this story. Wonderful to see characters from other stories cross paths. - julie - Feb-07-2009 Have to say this is the first story about suv that I have read and it was amazing really enjoyed every page Thanks so well written.

I love the way the author represented the Indian Ways. A very loyal people. If you havent read this I totally recommend it. - pogo - Sep-02-2008 What a wonderful story. With a long story such as this I always expect there to be some part of the story that drags -- not with "Drifter". The story had my attention every inch of the way! The character development was great, the plot was great, I can't say enough. - Anonymous - Jan-14-2009 What a great short story.

It is the story of a couple, one in the military and her soon to be sweetheart back at home; the setting is just before WWII and right into the attack to Pearl Harbor.

Guardian Angel by D

Original / Uber \| Modern \| Alternative \| Romance (alt) \| Novel - 700 pages \| Finished \| Aug-12
Everyone has heard of guardian angels - we probably have the best PR department in the world. On the other hand, they're also very good about keeping the true nature of our job out of the press, so to speak. Oh, don't misunderstand - some guardian angels do exactly what is advertised. That is the job of a few... to uphold the myth that we are there for the protection of mankind. Most guardian angels don't protect - they offer hope to the scared and the lonely and the wounded. But for a few even that is not their primary function. No, for a very few guardian angels, their job is to be there at a crucial time in their charge's life. They are supposed to guide and help a person make the right choice. Only sometimes, they're not in the right place at the right time and that's where I come in. My job is clean up. When the guardian angel misses their opportunity, my job is to determine if the charge can be salvaged in spite of the guardian screw-up or if there is another choice that can be made or another opportunity offered. This is the story of one such charge.
I have enjoyed all of D's stories. Seeing this come up in the recommendations made me go back and re-read it. It's a wonderful... epic story (love the long ones :) ) I am so grateful to the wonderful authors that share their talent and imagination we use lucky readers at the Athenaeum - and the folks that keep this site up. thank you - colorado fan - Sep-01-2012 wow this story was long and took me the whole weekend to read it but it was worth every minute. It is a great story!!! - Anonymous - Sep-02-2012 This is a feel good story, love it a lot. Thanks for sharing it with us D. - Anonymous - Sep-28-2012 A wonderful story. Full of emotion, laughter and love. Couldn't help but cry and become attached to the characters. Excellent writing and depth in this novel. Highly recommend. - Niyah - Mar-11-2013 Beautiful story, if you are given to crying easily bring your tissues. I was so caught up in the characters that I found myself crying many times because of the overwhelming emotions this story brings into play. Well written, well edited, excellent characters, definitely worth the read. - ~M - Jul-10-2013 Wow, just WOW! Superb story with characters full of warmth, love, emotion and humour! Yes there's angst and yes you'll need tissues (but "The Storyteller's Cardinal Rule is in effect") You will need to put aside a straight weekend for reading for this one, but it is SO worth it. I cannot recommend this highly enough! - Shineygems - Feb-05-2014 As I am reading Guardian Angel (about 1/4 of the way), I must stop and say : "This is Brilliant !!!" O.K. now back to my reading... - orcsage - Feb-24-2016 Well it is monumental, but it is worth the effort. While not perfect, it gives the reader a tremendous reading experience, filled with imagination and enthusiasm, warm emotions and serious thinking. Awesome. - orcsage - Mar-03-2016 I have to say, when I started reading this I thought it was going to be fifty-nine pages because I had previously saw a story that was fifty-nine pages long and for some reason it clicked into my head as the length for this story. I was in the middle of reading the introduction when I decided to pause and look at how long the story was before I could continue, and let me tell you, I was extremely surprised to find that it was seven hundred pages long. It was by far the longest story I had decided to read and have read. I was a bit put off and almost afraid to continue due to its length but I'm glad that I did continue. This was such a wonderful little sorry and I absolutely loved it. The characters were amazing, the plot was amazing, and the storytelling and writing was amazing. Please take the time to read it.

Halloween Panic by D

Xena \| Alternative \| Romance (alt) \| Short Story - 27 pages \| Finished \| Oct-06

Just when I begin to think that I'm finally over missing my favorite show, X:WP, a story comes along that is so true to the format that I find myself missing the show all over again. Thankfully, D has managed to capture the spirit of the show and is spot on in the characterization of all of my favorite characters from the show. If you're missing X:WP and would like a glimpse of an episode that was not on the air (but should have been) read this little tale! I highly recommend it!!! - Crystal Michallet-Romero - Nov-09-2006

I couldn't stop reading this L&O:SVU story. - cam - Jul-19-2007 An excellent tale.

D has outdone herself in the writing of this tale! In this wonderful amalgam of mystery, adventure, romance, history and fantasy, D has woven a tale rich with the sights, sounds and feel of two worlds centuries and cultures apart and populated with warm and rich characters, two of which reach out across time itself for an unforgettable fairly tale ending. You will be enchanted by classic-style Uber that draws you in from the first sentence and won't let you let go until it is done! Brava!
I absolutely loved this story. It's a great read for anyone who is looking for something to read on a day like this. This story is absolutely beautiful and proves that love can cross time. - Alise - Mar 7th, 2004 I would like to say just how much I enjoyed this thoroughly wonderful piece of work.

Remember When by D

Stargate SG-1 \| Modern \| Alternative \| Romance (alt) \| Short Story - 23 pages \| Finished \| Feb-08

I really liked this story. At some point it was a bit difficult to see where the present and the past flew over into eachother, but I think it was really well written and the idea was very original. It certainly made my hands go all tingly... - Sterre - May-18-2008 This is nice sequel to What Hurts the Most. It is a romantic and sweet piece that glimpses back a different points in their relationship. - Slam - Jul-02-2010 D's stories are always well written and normally very romantic. This one is no exception and is a definite must read for SG1 fans. One thing I do like about it is the dose of realism. Most author's gloss over the same sex couple aspect but D kept with the time of the show. Definitely worth a read! - Stacia - Jan-31-2014

Great characterization of Barbara's motives and emotions. Most of D's "conversations" are very well done but the conversation between Hel and Barbara in this one is fantastically done! The reader really feels both emotional responses and is fully drawn into it. For all BOP fans, this is a must read. - Stacia - Dec-19-2012
