About me:

After an extremely long hiatus (finished college, finished nursing school, got a job, moved cities, briefly moved countries, had a long spell with depression, etc) I am back to writing fanfiction. I had only ever posted one fic on here before, but I wanted to abandon that account for various reasons. A fresh start is sometimes the most needed thing in life.

I write for my own enjoyment first, and the enjoyment of others second. I do not have a beta-reader or brit-picker (though I would be open to getting one if I keep writing the way I have been the past few weeks.)

I love you all, and have to say this site continuing to be in existence has helped me greatly. I only hope what I write will bring you enjoyment of some kind.

Stories in the works:

Electric Avenue: Following the 3rd task, Harry begins having some strange symptoms, eventually landing him in a muggle hospital with seizures.

Hiding the Ills: Sequel to Searching for Wellness. Vampire!Harry through and through and a story I can't stop picking up.

Ember and Ash: A very dark torture fic created for the Bingo card fic fest.

One-shots: occasionally I get some sort of random inspiration to write something. Occasionally its something from my personal life, sometimes its a prompt from something else. I'm not the greatest at writing small stories which feel complete, so when I get these kinds of inspirations, I go for them.

My abstract goal is to write a story for every category, warning, and tag on this site. Meaning there may be some rather weird things coming out here and there as I try to reach this goal. [Report This]

Harry attains a new animagus form, which has unforseen side effects to his magic. Especially when he accidentally bonds to one Severus Tobias Snape. Not slash, obviously, just so we're clear.

    Very interesting concept you have going here! I enjoy the dynamic you have going between Snape and Harry.

    Author's Response: Thank you, DesertPlanet!

“The Ministry takes a vested interest in ensuring our young witches and wizards are as safe as we can make them and you, dear boy, are very important to Minister Fudge.” Professor Umbridge said, simpering in a self-satisfied way as she said Fudge’s name. “So I must ask you where you’ve been this last August?”

Harry coughed into his tea and nearly spilled it over himself.

    Awww! Poor Harry, that would be so utterly traumatizing! Very good! I'm loving this series!

Harry is thrilled that he is allowed to go on a holiday with his relatives, but quickly discovers it to be a trick. Instead of a trip to the seaside he expected, the boy is left on the doorstep of a scary stranger who claims to be his father.

A horrible father-story [at least, at the beginning], told mostly but not solely from Harry's perspective.

    https:// postal-code. co .uk/postcode/Shropshire Just remove the spaces and it will take you to a website where you can point and click on a map and it will give you the address and the postcode for anywhere in the world (it seems). The address I gave you will take you directly to Shrewsbury, Shropshire.

Someone has to pick up the pieces of Harry's broken soul. Severus just never expected to be the one to do it.

OR

The one where Harry actually has a friend growing up, and suddenly being a wizard doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.

    I am very much looking forward to the next chapter of this!

    Author's Response: me tooo haha thank you!!!

Lily had an affair with Severus, and the son she bore as a result, was widely believed to be her husband's, not her childhood friend's. Now that Secret comes to light when a certain reporter finds a letter that never wound up getting sent.

    This has a lot of potential, but just not a lot of detail. You have the potential to tell a good story, so tell it. Suck the readers in. Give them details to focus on and mull over.

    Formatting can come later, but for now, try to become more expansive in your writing. Tell the story you want to tell and you want people to remember.

    Author's Response: Thanks!
