Part 10, Bleeding Memories
As Desmond Miles’ doctor, Eric Warren has a responsibility to tell him what is happening to him. However, since Desmond is currently not present in his own body, he instead has to have the talk with those who are there.
Between 2001 and 2014 I posted my fanfiction largely on Fanfiction.Net. Starting in 2013, I began moving my fanfiction posting to Archive of Our Own and since 2014 have posted it exclusively there.
If you want to still read my old works besides the ones posted here, they are still available on my Fanfiction.Net account. For any updated works, you can subscribe to my main AO3 account or my pseudonym for updates.
Note: Accessing any of my Ao3 works will now require you to be logged in. As of 5/24/23, I’ve made them all only available to logged in users due to AI scraping the Archive for text.

In which Jonathan Reid seeks help from Elisabeth Ashbury to right one of his wrongs and ends up laying the baseline for something that lasts a mortal lifetime and more.
Giving the ol’ website a brand spankin’ new coat of paint!
In March of 2013 I joined Archive of Our Own and began the process of moving the public posting of my fanfiction from Fanfiction.Net where it had largely resided for a decade. Since then AO3 has been my default posting platform and I am most proud of the works that I have published on it. There are older works on my account that I believe do not accurately reflect my current level of writing skill but they are still a better representation of my work over my writing still hosted on Fanfiction.Net.
You can find me on AO3 as Terion or under pseudonym Saerry Snape.
Below you will find links to most of my works that are on Archive of Our Own.

Fanfiction.Net was my chosen platform for posting my fanfiction when I began publicly posting it outside of my own personal website in May of 2001. Since 2014 I have largely abandoned FFN and post exclusively on Archive of Our Own instead but my works from 2001 to 2014 still remain on Fanfiction.Net for anyone to go back and read. While I am no longer entirely proud of the quality of the work represented there, I know there are many who have enjoyed my works there over the years and thus leave them so they may return whenever they wish to enjoy them again (or so new people can still find them and hopefully find some joy in them).
You can find me on FFN as Terion, formerly Saerry Snape.
Below you will find links to a selection of my works on Fanfiction.Net that I am most fond of.
