Athers Fiction Library

Hi, I'm Esjay and welcome to my corner of the fanfic world. I write slash, in case you were wondering, you know, the homoerotic stuff with the gorgeous guys? If this isn't what you're up for, do us both a favour and hit the 'back' button now. Ditto if you're under the age of consent where you live.

Still here? Good. I mainly write Highlander slash, although recently I've started to branch out into the Andromeda fandom so there will be new pieces from that showing up here from time to time too. Most of the Highlander stories are DM/M but not all of them, so there's plenty to choose from. Please take note of the warnings and ratings.

The fiction archived here spans pretty much my whole fanfic writing <Cough! Splutter!> career, so the earlier stuff is a little rougher than the more recent fic. The Recurring Dream series were the first stories I ever wrote (January – August 2000). The others just sort of tumbled out after that<g> improving (I hope) as they went along.

The credit for any and all improvement in the writing you see here is due, in no small part, to my betas. To all of them, past and present, I owe a great debt of thanks. They are wonderful women and I'd be lost without them. Any remaining mistakes are, of course, all mine.

All the characters you recognise belong to Other People, the ones you don't, belong to me. No harm, no foul, no profit.

All feedback gratefully accepted.
