About me:

Hi, I'm Gatewaygirl (Gg) of Livejournal, InsaneJournal, Dreamwidth, etc. My first post here was my old, epic Severitus challenge piece, Blood Magic. I don't write a lot of gen, but that one makes up for it in length. :-)

I recently posted a new (much shorter) story in that universe, Blood and Choice.

    Still loving these stories! I reread today before starting the new chapter. There's a lot of misinformation floating around -- all well-meant -- and I wonder when (if) Harry and company will find out that Severus wasn't friends with James, Sirius, and all. Glad that Sirius is getting some information about why Severus is distracted.

    It's not critical, but there are occasional technical errors (spelling, punctuation, homophones, etc.) in this series, which I mention only because I lose my immersion in the story when I come to one. You might want to add a beta reader who is strong in that.

    Great job! You handled the Unicorn Keeper well -- that could have gone over the top so easily. I like your slow changes.

Building Doors by JAWorley starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 191]
[COMPLETE] After Harry blows up Aunt Marge and catches the Knight Bus to Diagonalley, he decides to take charge of his life when he learns he’s being sent back to Four Privet Drive. Harry spends the summer turning life in Diagonalley on its head, trying not to worry about the murderer Sirius Black, and attempting to avoid Severus Snape. In the midst of this he finds himself embroiled in an intense legal battle against Albus Dumbledore to decide his future. For the first time his fate rests solely in his own hands, and depend on the decisions he finds himself being forced to make.

Severus Snape Untwists the Timeline by lilyswinter starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 15]

When Severus Snape dies during the Battle of Hogwarts, he doesn't expect to end up in his own body, 7 years before, at the exact moment he first met Harry Potter.

This time around, Severus resolves to keep his promise to Lily. He promises himself that he’ll keep Harry safe from Death Eaters, Dark Lords, and meddlesome old fools. But what will happen when Snape learns there are monsters greater than Voldemort in Harry’s life? What happens when Severus realizes that what Harry needs, more than anything, is a family?

(A Severus-gets-a-second-chance + adoption AU.)
