Author has written 4 stories for Harry Potter.

I read and write fanfiction instead of adulting. I love to explore complex and flawed characters and different kinds of relationships, from friendships to family relationships to het and queer romance.

I hope you enjoy my stories!

Severus Snape and the Phantom of the Dungeon by WaterPh0enix reviews
I know what you all thinking. Some sappy or cringe parody were Snape is that emo Opera Ghost and Lily is that singing girl, but no. This is a story about Severus as a child, first Hogwarts year, starting from the premise of him choosing to be a Gryffindor instead. I tried to write in in the same fun, yet dramatic and enchanting style JK used in her books.

The first time Bellatrix sees yellow for what it means is when she meets Alice. It means friendship and warmth, something Bellatrix craves in her grayscale life.
