Hi, I'm Zephyras.

Yeah...okay, I got into fanfiction when my friend practically shoved me at her computer and told me to read Draco Malfoy the Amazing Bouncing...Rat? by Maya. Great fic, by the way. After that, I read strictly Harry Potter fics for about two years. I got into Naruto fanfiction after that, then Bleach, Hikaru no Go, Gokusen, and most recently Heroes. Which brings me to my next point.

I am obsessed with Japan and all things Japanese. I'm sure you've all heard this before, but I doubt you've heard of a person who has been obsessed with Japan for more than half their life. Yeah, seriously. And being a minor just makes it worse.

About my personality: Okay, seriously, I am not a nice person. Which my fics reflect. I love blood and gore and fighting in general. And not only in stories, but in real life too! Aren't I wonderful! I am a sadist and proud of it. Oh, and supposedly I also have the mentality of a serial killer, just in case you wanted to know. (No, I haven't killed anyone. Yet.)

The name Zephyras came from me trying to come up with a username two years ago. I was literally walking around the house, looking for ideas. I came across my an old newspaper from my old school, added an -as (because that's oh so Latin) and there you go. Zephyr means the west wind in Latin.

Favorite Characters-

Harry Potter:

Lily- I'm not exactly sure why, since you know, like what, about her, but yeah...there it is...

Sirius- C'mon, you can't not like Sirius.

Remus- Yeah, he's cool.

Tonks- She has cool powers...yeah.

Luna-...Luna is like what I am...on crack.

Naruto:

Sasuke- Evil bastard that he is.

Gaara- ditto, ditto

Sai- He makes me laugh.

Obito- Er...he dies...?

Naruto- He's the main character, for God's sake, I mean, c'mon how can you not like him?

In that order. And yes, I do rate them. I'm just weird like that. Actually, I'm not sure that Sasuke can be considered my favorite character, because I HATE him! He's annoying, selfish, angsty, loser-ish, arrogant, and he gets on my nerves! ...yet he's still the best character in the show. Just don't ask. -.-'

Bleach:

Rukia-I am unhealthily obsessed with Rukia. It is a problem.

Inoue- I feel really sorry for her...not hate her with a passion like the rest of the fandom appears to...

Ichigo- He makes me laugh.

Yoiruchi- Kitty!

Soifon- There's not enough fanfiction about her, though...

Grimmjow- ...strangely enough...

Ulquiorra- Emo, but awesome nonetheless.

Favorite Pairings-

-LilyxJames (HP)

Thing in Fanfiction I Love:

-fighting

-Alternate Universes

-romance (het, yuri, and yaoi)

-cliffhangers (especially when I write them!)

-scars

-time travel

-making fun of Sasuke (it's so amusing, I'm sorry)

-complicated plots/plot twists

-suspense

-well-written OCs

-imagery (pretty rare actually)

-big words that I understand! (it makes me feel special...)

Things in Fanfiction I Absolutely Despise:

-semexuke/unequal relationships

-OOC (extenuating circumstances/AU aside)

-mpreg

-rape victim falling in love with rapist

-tragedies (I’m a sucker for happy endings.)

-spelling/grammar errors. (I’m a hypocrite. I know.)

-songfics

-Naruto being referred to as 'the kitsune' or 'kit' (by Kyuubi)

-slashing characters just for the hell of it (aka no basis of any relationship at all in canon)

-stereotyping gay men/lesbian women

-love at first sight (too unrealistic for me)

-character-bashing

-good!Itachi (regardless of canon, I still think he's an evil bastard)

-most crossovers

-‘the raven’ (Gahh! I don’t mind Naruto being referred to as the blond, because he is in fact, blond, but ‘the raven’ kills me every time)

-Mary Sues

-silk boxers (What. The. Fuck. Seriously, people, even Sasuke isn't that gay.)

-Hikaru no Go fics in which there is no Go

-love triangles (Inuyasha ruined love triangles for me. They can all go to hell.)

So, yeah, that's about me, now about my fics.

Reccuring Themes in my Fics (aka I know they're there, so you don't have to tell me)-

-death

-violence

-torture

-scars

- characters with psychological problems (often female)

-secrets

-running away from home

-homelessness

-angst

-loneliness

-self-reliance

-purposeful exclusion from society

-low self-esteem

-guilt

More to come, once I think of them!

Completed-

Harry Potter: The Death of Hogwarts: Oneshot

This fic was actually originally my friends and I making fun of Harry Potter. My friend and I just took it to the next step. Bascially everyone dies. End of story. Literally. WARNING: Involves very sadistic humor.

Naruto: A SasuNaru Fanfiction: Oneshot

Me making fun of Sasu/Naru fics. I wrote it in like an hour, so don't be so hard on me! Anyway, the idea for this fic came from a fic called The Ultimate Harry Potter Cliche Catalogue by Clam Chowder, I suggest you read this one as well, it's awesome. Also, my first fic that does not involve death! (EDIT: Well, damn...actually, it does...oops?)

Harry Potter: To Protect Them All: Chapters: 16

My Lily Evans kicks ass fic, no joke. After reading heresmyhandle's Proving Me Wrong, I became obsessed with a different kind of Lily and this is the result. Very dark + lots of fighting. I have finished revising it, so look for the sequel!

Naruto: Shi no Me: Chapters: 30 (including the Prologue and Epilogue)

Okay, this one is about twice as dark as To Protect Them All. I actually started thinking about this plotline about a month after I first started Naruto and before I began to read fanfiction. Yeah, I know, I'm sad. This is bascially me getting rid of Sakura and adding my own OC. Don't get me wrong, I think Sakura's cool, at least when she's older, but my OC is cooler, sorry. As I said, very dark and involves torture. No like, no read.

My OC Bios can now be read in TONFA's Fan Ninja Bingo Book category! Please check them out here!

Not So Completed-

Naruto: My Name is Haruno Sakura: Chapters: 26

My first Romance fic! Be happy for me! Anyway, this is my fic that apologizes for editing Sakura out of Shi no Me. I've actually been thinking about it for a while, pretty much right after I started to read Yuri. It's Ino/Sakura and the first fic I've figured out the ending before I started to write it. Actually, it's a first for a lot of things, but you really don't want to hear them, so I'll just stop. Winner of Best in Category for Yuri on TONFA! (Sorry, if this sounds arrogant, but I'm particularly proud of this.)

Naruto: The People We've Become: Chapters: 15

I just started this one; it's basically an AU, where Naruto disappears right after the the Wave Country Arc and the price Konoha pays. It's a NaruSakuSasu friendship fic with NaruSasu and SakuLee. Very dark, involves death, torture and all that lovely stuff that I usually write. My first real slash! Yay!

Harry Potter: The Girl Who Lived : Chapters: 5

So, yeah, basically this story is my Lily Evans kicks ass fic part two. Except darker! And more fighting! Isn't it nice that I have some variation on the topics of my fics!

Bleach: Velveteen Rabbits and Studded Belts: Chapters: 8

The idea literally sprung upon me, and in less than forty-eight hours I had started to write it. It's kind of a strange romance between a single mother and a high school student. IchiRuki!

Crazy Ideas That I Probably Will Never Write (except in the cases that I do write them, which is why you should read this from time to time)-

-Bleach AU in which Rukia discovers that Aizen caused Kaien's death and knows no one will believe her. She leaves the soul society 25-30 years earlier than she does in canon and searches for Urahara and co. after reading about how they accused Aizen of experimenting with hollows before they were kicked out. Unfortunately, Urahara hides himself very well and she is unable to find him for a long time. In fact, she only finds him when she accidentally transfers her Shinigami powers to a certain orange-haired teenager. Fast-forward two years into the war with Aizen. Through circumstances that I haven't really figured out yet (maybe Inoue's capture. And then she could be crazy from the trauma. Crazy!Inoue sounds like fun...) the Soul Society and Urahara-tachi (including the Vaizards) must reconcile. So they're there in the Soul Society and Ichigo and all his humans friends come along and confuse the hell out of everyone. And then Rukia bursts in covered in blood (because it's not fun if no one is covered with blood) and Renji and Byakuya kinda stare. And then, subtle IchiRuki-ness. Or I could have Renji’s team (he’s a captain by now) find almostdead!Rukia and bring her back to the Soul Society and Ichigo and Inoue come to bring her back (in their high school uniforms, of course.) And I’m going to stop now otherwise I’ll have to list every single variation this plot bunny has. And believe me, there are a lot.

-Crazy epic Feudal Japan AU! Hinata's father dies when she's fifteen and the Elders have a desicion to make. They can either let her, the eldest of Hiashi's two daughters, become the head of the Hyuuga Clan or put the head of the Branch House (Neji) in charge. Their hatred and fear of the Branch House overwelcomes their sexism, so they nominate Hinata, thinking that she will be easy to control. This plan, of course, fails miserably. Thus begins the reign of the first female head of the Hyuuga Clan. Though shy and unconfident, Hinata refuses to let the Elders boss her around at the expense of others. Ten years later, she has complete control over the Hyuuga Clan and becomes an excellent strategist. She is perfectedly coolheaded on the outside, and though still doubtful and uncertain of her abilities, she doesn't let it show. She manages to vaguely reconcile with the Branch House granting them greater freedoms etc. Pretty much everyone likes her except Neji, mostly because of how closely related they are and the fact that he could have been in her place. I suppose that's a bad way of saying it. Neji doesn't have anything against her personally, but instead what she stands for. As the representative of the Branch House, he tolerates her, but only just. The Elders don't like this, but Hinata secretly sympathizes with him so she always lets it slide. She also refuses to get married, which is both an annoyance and a relief to the Hyuuga. Then their castle gets attacked by Akatsuki soldiers out of the blue and Hinata is forced to flee. She gets separated from her all her maid-servant thingys except Ino and then runs into Neji. The three of them then walk nearly a hundred miles (talk about awkward) in disguise, trying to find out what happened and if any of their allies will help them. During this time Neji gains a lot of respect for Hinata for not whining or making him or Ino do all the work. Eventually they find that the only ally who hasn't completely abandoned them is the Uchiha Clan whose head is Uchiha Sasuke. You know, the one who isn't married either with all those rumors about his preference for male bedmates about him. So they reluctantly go there where Sasuke basically gives them whatever they want. Or rather Naruto (who is a total commoner but no one says anything because he is Sasuke's) and Sakura (childhood friend...or maybe spear wielding female guard, I haven't decided yet) convince him to. Because Sasuke doesn't really care all that much. And then Neji and Hinata sleep together. ...That's all I really have.

(And this doesn't even include all the spinoffs of my current fics! It's official: I have no life.)
