Welcome to the personal fanfiction archive of one Renay, the magically delicious bottle_of_shine. Note: she is, unfortunately, not a tasty snack.

Some of these stories have adult themes and many of them are slash (male/male). It's always porn hour here, is what I'm saying.

Pretty much all my stories have notes. Some things about those: they're where I talk about the story, so there are likely always going to be spoilers. I use also them to thank my betas and editors and co-conspiritors because none of my work would likely be here if not for those people. I will sometimes stick outtakes or related comment fic in them, as well. I mean, for no reason at all!
