Welcome

Hello and thank you for visiting!

Legends Lost is a fan fiction universe that expands and continues the 1980s-era television show, Scarecrow and Mrs. King. While the show was a lighthearted spy spoof, this universe has segued into straight drama — although it’s not without its lighter moments.

Since this is fan fiction, and not constrained by the realities of television production, things happen and characters develop. Sometimes the effects of an event are permanent, although the series is grounded in respect for the core relationships and canon characterizations of the show. For that reason the fiction is available in a chronological index to help readers keep track.

Although the stories are posted at An Archive of Our Own (AO3), this site is the official location for the universe and contains extra goodies that aren’t in the fan fiction archives, such as:

• character sketches,
• family trees,
• timelines, and
• general author musings, and
• machine translations from (American) English to other languages*.

For the sake of simplicity, I archive my other Scarecrow and Mrs. King fan fiction here as well; the unrelated stories appear on their own story index.

Who am I?

I’ve been writing and sharing fan fiction under the pen name Cat Lady Firebird since 1998. I began writing for Scarecrow and Mrs. King in late 2023. I also write original fiction — and an occasional poem — using the pen name Jennie St. Thomas, and I maintain a professional blog using my given name, and I have a full-time job in a business field.

Outside of writing and business work, I’m a fifty-ish, crazy cat lady, currently living in Eastern North Carolina. Yes, I have an accent, although I’m told it’s mild. No, I’m not a redneck — but I will firmly correct anyone who carries the incorrect belief that barbecue is red.
