Author has written 24 stories for Robin Hood, Mythology, and Harry Potter.

I love to write, mainly for Harry Potter, but also for a few other fandoms as well. I try to review every story I read, unless it's so terrible that I want to scratch my eyes out. Then I don't. I think that constructive critisism is the best thing an author can recieve. PM me if you want me to review your fic.

I have recently deleted several stories from this account. If they were among your favourite stories, contact me via PM and I may be able to send you the word document.

My stories are thus:

Completed:

His Father's Son: This is one of a series of one-shots set in the Potterverse. It focuses on Snape during Harry's Sorting and the later feast.

A Stone from the Riverbank: Probably my favourite story I've written. About what happens to the people Harry summons back with the Resurrection Stone and their rather confused journey to be with him that night.

Their Wasted Lives: Another of my one-shots, this time about Lupin, who has just finished an anti-Dementor lesson with Harry. Afterwards, triggered by Harry's revelation that he heard James's last words, Lupin thinks about his old school friends and their times together and wonders just what happened to break them all apart.

Justice: Another one-shot about what happens to Peter after his death. Really rather angsty.

Remembered: Yet another one-shot that takes place several years after Harry's death. In it, a little girl and her parents make a trip to Godric's Hollow, where some things never really die.

A Cold Cup of Tea: A one-shot about Harry visiting the graves of Dudley and his aunt and uncle. An old man now, he reminices about the years they spent together, and apart.

Dancing Petals: A one-shot about little Harry on Dudley's fifth birthday. Dejected and alone after being forced out of the game of Musical Statues, Harry takes comfort in a little flower, unaware that years before, another little girl did almost exactly the same thing.

About the Breaks of Day: Something for the Robin Hood fandom, and a sort of companion piece or uber-epilogue to my WIP, A Life in Sherwood. Long after the death of Robin Hood, the King of England gets lost in Sherwood Forest. He comes across two old men who may just about remember the long gone days of the legendary outlaw.

The Call of the Wild: Another companion piece to A Life in Sherwood, and again set after Robin's death. Little John, the last companion of the old days, returns to his birthplace, Hathersage. But will he be able to find peace there? Will he ever be able to truly abandon the outlaws way of life?

In Progress:

Shine a Light: Probably my baby. It's a next-gen fic centering mainly around the OC friends of Lily Luna Potter. Involving reincarnation, flashbacks to the past, and a dangerous and tragic love affair.

Peace No More: Originally a one-shot entered into a Mugglenet challenge, it's sort of growing. It's currently about James Potter facing his worst fear, but it will soon be the story of Lily and James from the moment they find out that their son is wanted by Lord Voldemort until their deaths.

Detentions: My little indulgence piece. A humour fic detailing possibly ways James and Sirius got themselves detentions in school. There's one for every class.

Fics on hiatus/won't be updated for a while:

A Life in Sherwood: The story of Maid Marian and Robin Hood. I've been writing this for three years now, but it's on hiatus due to writers block. I may get back to it one day. It's being re-written at the moment, so chapters are out of place and things may not make sense.

Morgan le Fay: Another one that I've been writing for three years but is on hiatus due to writers block. It's the story of the scorceress, Morgan le Fay, in Arthurian legend. Eventually, I want it to encompass all the seperate tales of King Arthur, right up until his death.

So there you have it. Enjoy!
