Welcome to Crimson Glass

This is a General Hospital fanfiction archive that concentrates on the pairing of Jason Morgan and Elizabeth Webber. You will also find a lot of stories that feature Sonny and Carly Corinthos, Patrick Drake and Robin Scorpio, and Nikolas Cassadine and Emily Quartermaine. The stories are written completely by me, Melissa (LissieLove) and features novels, short stories, and other GH-related material. It has been online since September 19, 2002.

If you don't like Jason and Elizabeth as a pairing or you have any fondness for the character of Franco, then you should probably click the back button and continue on your way. Happy travels. I hate Franco. He is a lying, violent, sociopathic piece of shit, and I hope this character gets yeeted into the sun. Thank you.

Update Link: You’re Not Sorry – Part 27

I wasn’t up to writing in my timed sessions last night, but I did some work on the Watch Me Burn revisions, which I’m renaming and making part of the Crimson Swift collections — don’t be surprised if that’s a pretty regular occurrence. Taylor has soo many songs ranging across so many genres and content and themes that it’s actually pretty easy to find one that fits so I get to make progress in that whole “a story for every song” idea without killing myself. (In my defense, I had no idea TTPD would have 31 songs, lol).

I’m not updating today, but if you need a Liason fix, one of the OGs from the Canvas days, Mariah (fallinangelz21) has written a set of Jason/Elizabeth POVs from June 2025, after they were both in the park on the same day. I recommend you check her out and give her lots of love to encourage her to keep writing.

Read at Fanfiction.net or Archive Of Our Own

Had lunch with my mother today, and she’s struggling with losing my aunt in late June. She feels like she could have done more — she’s reading about nursing homes and how they delay sending patients to the hospital because it earns them more money to keep the bed occupied a certain amount of days. We both felt like we wanted her to get more care, but we weren’t her next of kin and couldn’t demand anything. It just put me in an awful mood today, and I just don’t feel up to writing, especially in a timed session. I love writing flash, but it can be stressful, especially when you rush to fit what you want to write in, and go over and still feel like it’s not good enough.

I’ll be back tomorrow.

Use today to get caught up any past updates, try another story on the Alternate History page (may I recommend Bittersweet if you haven’t read it yet? I’m working on the sequel on the weekends). One of the Phillies pitchers just underwent a thrombolytic treatment to remove a blood clot, which makes me want to recommend Mad World to any of my newer readers.

Watch Me Burn beatĀ Chain Reaction by 2 votes! (24-22) so that will be the next novel sometime this fall. I’m glad it won — it needs the least amount of work, though I’ve got some ideas to clean it up and flesh out some pieces now that I know all the moving parts.

See you tomorrow.

Update Link: You’re Not Sorry – Part 26

Happy Sunday! A week from today is the end of our marathon šŸ˜› To prepare for shifting back to evening schedules, I’ll be writing at 5 and posting at 6 this week. When I go back next Monday for staff development, I’m honestly going to play the entire week by ear. If I feel like updating I’ll update, but I’m not going to schedule anything. So you could get 5 updates or 1 updates. It’s really tough to say right now.

I don’t have a date for the bathroom model — they were supposed to start my parents’ in the next two weeks. If they start theirs on time, I’m two weeks after their start date. I honestly don’t know how I’m going to handle that situation just yet, so let’s just see where September takes us.

I’m excited for today’s update, and I hope you are, too šŸ˜›

Update Link: You’re Not Sorry – Part 25

Had a supppper productive morning for once. I’m planning a massive Socratic Seminar for my French III kiddos that’s going to take the first two weeks, and I finally finished all the student materials. They’re going to hate me, lol.

Flash will be probably later tomorrow — the Phillies, as I’ve said, play around 11:30 am tomorrow, so the game should be over around 3. I’ll probably update at 5. I’m contemplating moving Flash back to that later time anyway this week since that’s the usual update time during the school year. I can’t believe I’m down to my last week, you guys! Then again, I’m starting to miss the structure of my days, so maybe it’s a good thing.

See you tomorrow!

Update: You’re Not Sorry – Part 24

It has been a week, hasn’t it? I’ve posted a ton this week šŸ™‚

NEW: “imgonnagetyouback” & “I Hate It Here
UPDATE: “The Black Dog – Tragic Ending

from theĀ Black DogĀ collection,Ā Crimson Swift: Tortured PoetsĀ project

Three Days left to Choose Next Novel from Edited Flash

I also cleaned up the sidebar and made sure the Recent Updates page was current again!

Tomorrow, I’ll probably do flash around the same time — either writing at 2 or 3, and posting at 3 or 4. Then on Sunday, Flash will be in the evening since the Phillies are playing at 11:35.

This isĀ not your only update today. I woke up late and decided to post this early so I can get a shower and come back later for Flash around 5ish.Ā 

Update Link: The Black Dog – Tragic Ending

The Black Dog – Begin Reading

ETA: Uh, the Tragic Ending now links to the actual Tragic ending.

One of my regrets about writing the originalĀ folklore collection was giving some of the sad songs happy endings. That’s mostly because, as a fandom, we’ve had our share of sad endings. But Taylor’s saddest songs are so Liason coded, I had to find a way to honor them while still giving our fanbase what we deserve. (i may correct that with a folklore long pond sessions collection because i am insane)

Hence the choose your adventure endings.

They won’t be on every story — for example, “I Hate It Here”, to me, isn’t a sad ending. It’s the reality of her choice that day in the park.

The Black Dog was always originally going to have two endings, but then we found out about that woman returning, and I knew I’d be away the week I was posting it — I just thought we’d been through enough. I’d drop the tragic ending later.

And this is later šŸ˜›

The Black Dog is one of her most gorgeous songs, and it’s so Jason-coded I could SCREAM.

I’ll be back later today with your flash.

In Case You Missed It
NEW: imgonnagetyouback” & “I Hate It Here
from theĀ Black Dog collection, Crimson Swift: Tortured Poets project

Three Days left to Choose Next Novel from Edited Flash

I’mĀ  typing this from my new keyboard! Hopefully we don’t have any more issues. I’m a little frustrated — I switched from a laptop to a desktop in 2022, and I loooooove my desktop. It’s amazing. But with that switch came going back to an external keyboard. My first keyboard started having huge connection issues and sticky keys about a year later, but it had come with the computer, so I just figured — okay, whatever. I spent a bit more on the second — and it lasted two years. I spent more on the third, so let’s hope it lasts three years — by which point I’ll be able to actually upgrade the desktop, lol. I hate the built in obsolescence of products. The new keyboard/mouse combo is rechargeable, which is great — I’ll save money on batteries (of course I justĀ bought new packs of them but whatever) but right now the mouse is charging. Luckily, my desk top is touchscreen so I can sort of maneuver around that.

A few days left to choose the next official CG novel — your choices are from three completed flash fictions since drafting takes the longest time.

I’ll be doing some housekeeping updates tomorrow with the Recent Updates page and cleaning up the sidebar and Alternate History pages. Closing in on the end of summer guys, booooo

See you tomorrow!

The Tortured Poets Department Subsite WITH TWO NEW STORIES!!!!!
imgonnagetyouback” & “I Hate It Here

“imgonnagetyouback” is rated NC-17 and has a special surprise at the end šŸ˜›

This is not your only update today! I’ll back later withĀ You’re Not Sorry, but I’m hoping the new keyboard gets here.

I was sooo inspired by last night’s New Heights episode with Taylor Swift and the Kelce brothers, and so excited about the next album, and about the stories I’ve written this week forĀ Crimson SwiftĀ and it all happening during AUGUST???? The month that belongs to our COUPLE?

I just couldn’t resist.

See you guys later today!!!

Update Link: You’re Not Sorry – Part 22

Another day of Swiftie Zooommmiessssss!

First, something HYSTERICAL happened on yesterday’s episode of GH. I didn’t watch yet, but Danny took Scout of camp without telling Drew and THEN DREW WANTED DANNY TO BE ARRESTED

YOU GUYS WHAT

To my fan from the GH writer’s room, I will ABSOLUTELY quit my job and come write for me. Call me.

(i wrote drew getting danny arrested in dear reader back in june absolutely wiiiilllld)

Anyway — all jokes aside, it’s just funny. I write a ton of soap opera fanfiction, and I specialize in the ensemble umbrella stories, so it’s not the first time I’ve seen something I wrote reflected on the show. We work from the same source material so it’s just bound to happen. Back when I was writing Damaged in 2014-2015, I wrote Jason’s twin brother as a con artist who was working for Victor Cassadine to pretend to Jason Morgan — and he was Franco’s semi-adopted brother as a child that Franco was searching for all his life. My jaw dropped in 2017 when they decided to make Franco Drew’s semi-brother that Franco starts to have dreams about and search for. And I know there’s other stuff, lol.

I finished another story in the Black Dog collection, yay! This one was a quick short piece. 3 down, 5 to go!

AND TONIGHT I FIND OUT THE COVER AND RELEASE DATE FOR TS12 LETS GOOOOOOOOO

Swiftie Zoomies starting again because what do you MEAAAN I get a whole EPISODE with Blondie????? EEEEEEEEE

*coughs* uh, see you tomorrow.

Update: You’re Not Sorry – Part 21

YOU GUYSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! I AM DOING SWIFTIE ZOOMIESSS!!!

I’m a little tired this morning since your girl stayed up until almost 1am for the Taylor Swift midnight announcement (12:12 AM) and then had to sit in a queue to get my preorder. I am READY to schedule that first personal day, and expect an update on that night so I can stay up late. EEEEEEEEEEE

Serious talk — I am determined to getĀ The Black DogĀ collection up before she drops another freaking album. It was never supposed to take this long, but life got away from me last year. I have two of the eight stories done (you’ve read the title track, and I just finishedĀ imgonnagetyouback on Monday). But I won’t make promises until I know the release date, which hasn’t, uh, released yet. My September is going to be stupid with the back to school and bathroom remodel (I’m not paying for it, so I won’t argue with my father’s scheduling decisions). I’m not going to make things worse, lol.

See you tomorrow!
