About me:

 

Hello and thank you for visiting my author’s page! Here are a few tidbits about me and my writing:

I dabbled in fanfiction once upon a time and then a half-adventurous, half-disastrous decade happened, full of international moves, Master’s programs, health issues, family growth, and a general abandonment of most of my hobbies. I am in the process of putting the fun back into my life, and that includes reading and writing fanfiction again. I’m so excited to finish the story I started long ago and then to maybe work on some new ideas!

I am a Ravenclaw with a soft spot for all houses. I write with an outline but scenes and subplots often come out of left field and make it to the page before I’ve realized my head was thinking of them. It’s fun that way. Feel free to tell me what you do and don't like about my stories, as well as what you would like to see. It won't always change my plan, but sometimes I draw inspiration from reviews. :)

I love Harry Potter, but alas, I am not British. I will do my best to avoid American slang (feel free to let me know if I fail), but please know that all spelling and grammar will be American style. There’s only so much I can do.

I don’t read or write stories with slash or explicit sexual content. Personal preference. So if you’re reading my stories, no need to ask; they will not contain slash or sex scenes.

I am a sucker for family stories (especially parent/child, mentor/teen, or brotherly relationships)…probably why I have a special place in my heart for stories starring Harry Potter & Severus Snape. Bring on the father/son/teacher/mentor fluff! :)

When Severus overhears a wish Harry has, he starts to wonder why such a simple wish hasn’t already been granted. He also begins to wonder what Harry has been hiding and finds himself surprised at why Harry has lied to him. A one shot.
