The Germination Records 

 

 

 

Welcome to my page of Nero Wolfe fanfic.

 

Please note that these tales are mostly Archie/Wolfe slash, aside from a bit of gen and a few other pairings.

 Some are not for the faint of heart, the under-aged, or the easily offended.

 

All of the stories are crafted around characters from the Rex Stout novels and the recent A&E series,

but no rights are presumed thereby.  This isn't for profit, folks, it's for love.
