In The Keeping of Boreas: 4-25-2013 I highly recommend checking out the following link for background information on this story. I'm bringing in elements of George MacDonald's fairy tale At The Back of The North Wind for my first H P fic, so knowledge of MacDonald's work would be helpful before reading my story. The link will expire in a week, so if anyone wants the files after that just send me an email. One Thousand and One Nights: A short piece which focuses on Ginny Weasley and the students of Hogwarts. Set during Deathly Hallows. Abendsegen: Very little is known about the magic Lily used to protect Harry. This story is my answer to that mystery. Greek Mythology. Let Me Know Your Face: My first story to be posted online, and a prequel to an original work I’m in the progress of writing. It is a retelling of the legend of Semele, the mother of Dionysus. It is based on the writings of Homer and Ovid, and the opera composed by Handel in 1741. The thirteenth chapter is almost completed.

In Darkness Born: A story where I branch out into unknown territory, this is the history/mythology of Tash and the other gods of Calormene. Lewis didn’t tell us much, so this is my attempt at exploring the cultures of Charn, Calormene and of course Narnia from intriguing perspectives. It will cover events from all seven Chronicles, and is based on ideas drawn from Greek, Egyptian and Celtic legends, plus a few fairy tales as well. Keeping Watch In The Night: A short piece told from a star’s perspective when she is sent by Aslan to carry out an important task.

Mainly what if friends and former clients of Holmes stood up to someone in the British government on their behalf? Jane Eyre. Slave of Honor: A series of short chapters in progress which focus onRochester, told from the viewpoints of people like Mrs. Fairfax, and Bertha. Phantom of the Opera. The Magician and The Princess: My first attempt to write something for one of my favorite musicals, this is a crossover between Phantom of the Opera and A Little Princess.
