Author has written 3 stories for Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and My Hero Academia/僕のヒーローアカデミア.

Young guy, writer, graduated. Since this will be one of the rare times I'll directly address my audience in any substantial capacity, I'll just say that I appreciate whatever support I get. I like writing reviews, so if you're feeling confident feel free to PM me and I'll take a look at your work as long as you don't mind me being honest.

This is just a hobby for me, so updates might be sporadic. Usually I'll hop back into it if I'm having a hard time with writer's block in the real world, just to get the creative juices flowing. I do read a pretty good amount of this stuff, so what happens is I look, can't find the story I want, and therefore decide to write it myself.

My favorites list here would be twice or even three times longer if I didn't limit it to stories which are finished or which I believe will never be finished but are worth reading for what they are. I have favorite pairings, but I don't promote and try not to read in terms of pairings. Just seems like a shallow way to look for good stories. If I do have a solid bias, it's definitely toward more long-running stuff, so you probably won't find too many things here which are just short and sweet.

The Unseen Hunt by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
Jaune was only worried about two things in life; graduating from high school and dodging his hated bully. He didn't care about the supernatural, nor believe in it. But a chance encounter with a mysterious girl in red will open his eyes to a world that lives beside our own, a dangerous and deadly secret. But beware, child, for eyes once opened to the truth may never again be closed.

In the Kingdom's Service by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
Jaune Arc, Field Agent of the VSS - Vale's Secret Service, or at least that's what he's been told.

One Good Turn Deserves Another by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
Jaune wasn't exactly Blake's type, but giving him a hand was the least she could do after he helped her out... it didn't have to mean anything - no matter what Yang implied! Also would Ruby cut it out with the knowing looks, I'm just returning a favour! Blake x Jaune realistic romance, focused on their times at Beacon Academy.

Hitchups by The Antic Repartee reviews
Hiccup didn't see the point in stopping Astrid as she ran off towards his village—towards his father—with his most desperately protected secret. He was leaving anyway. A coming-of-age tale. Deviates from movie. Borderline bromantic-comedy.

The Leaf's Naruto by Morta's Priest reviews
There's something to be said for keeping the past as it was - makes it predictable, malleable. Naruto never bought those arguments. He's always been the one to power through adversity rather than wait it out, so why would now be any different? He'll do what has to be done, even if he steps on a few butterflies along the way.

By the Sword reviews
A childhood mishap gives Jon Snow a more intimate relationship with violence. In a world ruled by tyrants, where cruelty is the rule and war the expectation, will this lowly bastard join the bloodbath or find something else to fight for? AU with no White Walkers and a slightly OOC Jon gallivanting all over the Seven Kingdoms (and beyond).

Just Saying reviews
A college grad finds himself reborn in a world he read about when he was a kid. Really, I think J. K. Rowling did a fine job, but some of these things just make no sense when you really think about them. Self-insert, at times essayistic, excessively meta.
