About me:

 

My writing history is nonfiction, academic writing, and plays. This'll be my first real attempt at fiction, and I hope it goes well. There won't be any slash, but I don't have any other strict guidelines at this point.

I'm currently pursuing my doctorate in psychology, and have a graduate degree in social work, which means my work naturally gravitates toward those fields. I've always thought that Harry Potter has depth of emotion that I'd like to tackle in my own fiction.

I've written a few articles for the Huff Post about mental health and also write about it extensively on my blog. 

 

Thanks for reading, and I appreciate reviews and constructive criticism!

Severus Snape was fully prepared to hate Lily Potter's son. That was, before, the Sorting Hat cast them into a nightmare. It was only the beginning of a world gone mad.

    Wow, I can tell this is going to be a tough story to read, emotionally, but I'm moving on to the next chapter. Beautifully written!

A duel with Draco leads to drastic and permanent consequences for both Harry and Severus.

    Wow, this was an amazing chapter. I'm so impressed with this story! It brought out serious emotion in me, and that's a sign of quality writing in my opinion. :)

    Author's Response: Oh, thank you!  This chapter was really the heart and soul of the story, and it was difficult to write, but yet I enjoyed it too, as it was so good to finally have Severus and Harry break through their barriers and find each other.  I'm happy it meant something to you.

    Nice chapter. :)

    Author's Response: Thank you again for all the lovely reviews!

When Harry wakes one morning, he discovers a badly injured Snape in his living room, and tries to hide him. But Petunia discovers them and reveals a secret she has kept for thirteen years--one that will change the course of Harry's life forever, and Severus's as well. AU, pre-GOF.

    I really like how Severus is handling Harry's issues. Nice job!!

Sometimes getting what you want is terrifying. Can Severus and Harry manage after the roller coaster that was first year?
