Fightin' Irish (Draco) Donal Finnegan cannot understand why a certain costumed hero won't leave him alone. Kaylee's Draco is a fascinating adaptation of Jason Todd.

The Kinda Mooks Series:
A Different Kinda Craving (Bobby/Remy) Imagine the nervousness of a new relationship. Now imagine Robert Drake in a new relationship. Kaylee calls them "the mooks." Which they are - but they are also great fun to read. :) Warning: m/m relationship (nothing explicit)- if this offends you, go elsewhere.

The Death of Xavier Trilogy:
Tombstone (Magnus) A visit at an old friend's grave. Powerful. Poignant. Unbelievably Good.
Til Christmas (Xavier) A chronicle of Xavier's last days. Although this is technically the prequel to Tombstone , it is meant to be read AFTER that story. Trust me. The effect of these stories is most heart-wrenching if you read them in the proper order.
