About me:

I stumbled into Harry Potter fanfic looking for something to read after years of loving the books. Even after HBP, the idea of Snape mentoring or somehow becoming Harry's father/father figure is intriguing to me. I think that his is a very interesting character with unexplored depth in canon.

As for me, well, I'm working on getting into graduate school for creative writing, as that is one of my bachelors degrees and what I enjoy the most. I do write fanfiction, and am currently writing my first try at Harry Potter, even though I'm hopelessly American and I wouldn't want British characters to sound that way. (Knowing my luck and where I'm from, I'd have Harry speaking Southern without too much effort!)

My hobby is restoring My Child dolls from the 1980s and making clothes for them. It's kind of fun to exercise artistic skills that I don't often use anymore. Otherwise, I just write. And it's whatever strikes my fancy at the moment, fanfiction in various fandoms or original fiction.

There are many forms of vengeance. It can be just as satisfying to return cruelty with kindness as to return cruelty with equal cruelty...and sometimes it can be more dangerous and more insidious to do so. Faced with an eleven-year-old Harry Potter, Severus Snape has a decision to make: How does he like his vengeance?

    That's probably the best take I've seen in a while of Harry being sorted into Slytherin. Full marks.

The sequel to Never Again!

Things are going well for the Snape family, after the near disasters of the past year, except for a few minor mishaps. But when Harry meets two new Muggleborn witches in his primary school, one of whom has a mother Sev decides to date, Harry must realize that he’s not the only person in his father’s life anymore. And so, like any child, he must go through the sometimes frustrating, occasionally funny, and totally bewildering process of growing up, with help from Tobias, of course.

    Hm... Methinks I see a spanking coming soon... For the twins, too!

    GO INKY! And poor baby. Please save Inky. I love him best of your OCs.

    Author's Response: Aww, he's such a sweet boy too!

    Hmmm... A baby? Or is Lexy gonna pull a Harry? And I'm just curious... what of the Dursleys in this universe?

    Author's Response: Well . . .you'll just have to wait and see!  As for the Dursleys, yes they do exist in this universe, but they have nothing to do with Harry or Severus since Lily married Severus, they don't like wizards or magic and refuse to have any contact with them.  Which is why they aren't in this story.

    *claps* I like. And I like the idea of a prequel.

    Author's Response: All right and I'm getting ideas for the prequel now!

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.

    Lovely retribution.

    Author's Response: Thank you! Sev and I enjoyed it very much!

Prequel to Never Again. After the death of her husband, Lily Potter must begin her life anew, along with her son, Harry. Can they find comfort and solace with Master Healer Severus Snape? Or will old wounds from past and present keep them apart?

    I'd wondered if the Dursleys would ever show up in this series...

    Author's Response: They will, but they won't linger.  You'll see why next chapter!

    *snort* My parents would have spanked Petunia *and* Dudley. My baby brother is 6'5, and his then-girlfriend was shocked when my mom came to retrieve him when he should have been studying for a college exam instead of hanging out with her, grabbed him by the ear, and hauled him out to the car. My parents swear that their kids are never too old for a telling-off or even a spanking when they need it!

    Author's Response: Sounds very similar to my parents, LOL! But at least the Dursleys won't be bothering Lily and Sev or Harry anytime soon. And if they spanked Dudley and Petunia, they should've also spanked Vernon, yes? :D

    Lupus isn't necessarily a death sentence. My mom's oldest friend has been living with the disease for thirty years. She's raised seven kids, survived two husbands, lived through several boughts of cancer, and is currently growing old with her third husband. And she did it mostly on herbal cures, too...

    Author's Response: Yes, I'm aware of that, although my friend's mother did die of it while she was in college.  Lily doesn't actually die of the disease, but of the way her magic responds to it, as you'll see.  back in the 1980's before they came out with all the new treatments and stuff, more people tended to die from the complications.  It really depended on the individual and how the disease expressed itself. Your mom's friend was very lucky, good for her!
