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]

Ember and Ash by DesertPlanet starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 19]
It is a well known fact that creatures are often out of control, dangers to themselves and those around them. For the safety of those around them, it is best to remove the creature from their unsafe environment and be placed in a location which best suits their needs. But not to worry, the Ministry will take care of them. Very good care of them.
