About me:

I have been writing fan fiction for the Harry Potter series since 2007.  I blame my boss, who told me about this wonderful, whacky world of fans writing impossible stories for tales that they love.  I generally write strange pairings when i'm not focused on the fguardian relationship between harry and Severus.  My other works can be found on Archive of Our Own under the same pen-name, though be warned, some are fairly dark.

I am a red head (go gingers!), a dog groomer by trade, close to half a century old, and am also an avid animal lover.  In my spare time, I care for three dogs and a husband who is not only odd, but comes from the island of Borneo.  While he doesn't share my affinity for telling tales, he does love animals and has a terrific sense of humor that shows itself at odd times.  I am the proud step-monster to three children and step-grandmonster to one and half grandchildren  (My oldest daughter is due in September! (Woot!)

Thanks for reading this, and feel free to check out my stories.

After Harry's action packed first year, Severus Snape hasn't had time to finish the photo-album he was compiling for his adoptive son. However, when Harry, Severus and Hermione sit down to complete the album they find, amid the myriad of memories, one rather strange, magically-generated photograph… Set in the 'When the Boat Comes in' universe. Entrant in the 2011 Fic Exchange. Written for Bil.

    I would love to see Harry's dream for a family come to fruition. The idea of a happy Severus, content with a family is very appealing.

    Really great job on the prompts. I love how you used them.

    Author's Response: Thanks, although Severus already has a happy family, he definately deserves a chance at romantic love ^^. Glad you liked the way I used the prompts :)

It is said that time flies. How far back does it go, and what can be different?

    I loved, loved, loved this chapter. It was very funny, and quite revealing. I wonder how Snape and Harry are going to get on once things become more dangerous.

    Great job, you guys!

Harry & Severus meet in a bar to discuss their similar childhoods.

    Very good story. I really loved it.

On that fateful Halloween, Severus entered Godric's Hollow to find Voldemort dead and Lily and Harry missing. The mystery sent Sirius Black so insane that he spent the next three years searching for them. He found them. It was not a happy discovery.

Warning, begins with gothic horror but becomes a sweeter story as the chapters go on.

    Lovely start and a truly grim way of giving Voldemort an heir. Yuck.

Harry, scarred from an attack by Ripper, enters the magical world and encounters none other than Professor Snape.

    Just what the doctor ordered! I love redeemed Petunia stories, especially when Duplex isn't as nasty in them. I really liked the dynamics between all your participants. I can't wait for more.

    You killed me with this. It was so lovely and so unfailingly sad that Snape didn't realise his own feelings until it was too late for Harry to benefit from them. Beautiful job.
