Some Information About My Stories (The Longer Ones)

Waiting for the Moon to Rise is sort of my baby; a baby that's growing up fast. It was my first Harry Potter fanfiction (that I published online, at least) that was inspired from my dislike of Lupin and Tonks as a couple. I set out to create a character I thought would be better suited for Remus, and I wanted to experiment with the student/teacher dynamic. Thus, Violet was born, and I love this story so much that I'm continuing it through DH. This story is my top priority, so it gets updates more frequently than the others. In Progress

Remus Lupin's Lost Years is a kind of prequil to Waiting for the Moon to Rise. I suppose they would be considered part of the "same series"; several of my original characters that appear in one will show up in the other. In this story, Lupin tells us about what he did during the time period between the end of the first war and when he began teaching at Hogwarts. In Progress

Waiting for the Moon to Rise and Remus Lupin's Lost Years are meant to be complimentary works. You can read either one alone and be able to understand what is happening, but - as the writer - I think it would be neat to read them together.

Andromeda Black's Secret Admirer is a story about how Ted Tonks - who was rather sloppy and dorky as a teenager - won the heart of the unreachable Andromeda Black. Writing this story has made me fall in love with this pairing, and I think I've done a good job with these two slightly obscure characters. I'm also very modest. Completed!

The Summer House was inspired by a challenge I took on the HPFC forum. It's a next generation story about Luna's twin sons Lorcan and Lysander, and the adventures they have over their summer vacation. In Progress

Flowers for Hogwarts shows us Hogwarts during the Marauder era through the eyes of four girls who only have one thing in common; their all named after a flower. In Progress/Not Updated Often

The Joker and The Clown sadly, often gets shoved to the bottom of my "fanfiction to do list", but I want to pick it back up when I finish up some of my shorter fics. I really like Lola, the character I've invented for this story, and I look forward to writing more about her unique relationship with Fred and George Weasley. In Progress

As for non-Harry Potter stories, I have:

Maybe Your My Love is an Ouran High School Host Club story, centered around a girl named Kia, who comes to Japan as an exchange student to settle some... unfinished family business, with the help of her new friends at the Host Club.
