Author has written 24 stories for Silence of the Lambs/Hannibal, and Harry Potter.

STORY UP FOR ADOPTION: DADDY LONGLEGS.

Due to ill health I am unable to devote the time needed to finish the story. Message me if you are interested in finishing the story.


Please visit Professor Snape's Tumblr blog.

Master Snape's Journal is currently being written by myself and Master Snape. This story was a collaboration up until chapter 40. From then on it has been written by me. I DID re-write some of the previous chapters and toned down the one (graphic) lemons scene.

As of 3-4-13 this story has been renamed to A Fine Romance.

Hello. I go by the nick of etherian (emphasis on all lowercase, please). However, as a writer of original, short story gothic horror fiction, my name is Jayne d'Arcy. Yes, that is SOMEWHAT my real name. I mean, c'mon. This is the internet and if you really want to stalk me, well, been there, had that done (twice) already.

Anyway, I consider myself a storyteller. I am not a canon or fanon fanatic. My intention is to tell YOU a story and entertain YOU. If you feel compelled to pick apart my stories and tell me where I've gone wrong, well, so be it. Have at it. Either way, you're still reading it, right?

You know what - I hate nitpickers. If you are reading simply to nitpick at details and Briticisms, then go away.

I do try to keep the characters as close to in character as possible. After all, I wouldn't be dabbling with them if I didn't like the way the author created them in the first place, right? Keep in mind, though, that I write mostly in AU, and quite frankly they will change a bit to fit the new circumstances.

Original stories can be found at my BLOG. My original stories are short fiction, mostly on the horror side. I also write a certain type of fiction that pretty much defies description, so I call it Really Odd Bits.

I am 49 years old and currently spend my days reading and writing.

OKAY - this is an Americanism. Severus Snape, and no other character in the HP Universe says OKAY. So, stop it!

UPDATE: AH! I was informed recently that the UK version of the Harry Potter books use the word OKAY. However, Severus Snape using this word is NOT OKAY!


By the way, if you're an artist and you decide to do any kind of illustration for my stories, or want to, let me know what you've come up with and I'll link to it here. I'm an abstract artist, so drawing people is a failing. Pity, I love the Severus Snape that resides in my head.

1) Here's a lovely photo manip by Mikee called "Through the Forest".

2) A picture of Lyrica & Snape.

3) Another photo manip by Mikee - Draco & Harry in the Nereid Gardens toy store.

4) Another photo manip by Mikee for Chapter 75 of Back in Time. Harry & Draco in St. Mungos.

5) Severus Snape movie

6) Echo Prosper's wedding gown. From the story: Second Chance Take Two.

NOBODY CARED:

1) From chapter 15 I was inspired to render this image after a review from Lady of the Hunt. Harry's Angel. I hope it does her imagination justice.

2) A video made for the story after a reader sent the music to me. Thank you, Mercy. Nobody Cared - The Little Movie.

Ships in the night that I like:

Snape/OC - this is new for me. Yes, I know my main story features an OC, but recently I've discovered a couple of stories with well thought out and developed OCs.

Draco/Hermione - I like a more mature and intelligent Draco and I think they fit.

Harry/Luna - Does anyone else feel like Luna was absolutely wasted in the books when Rowling married Harry off to Ginny??

Ron/Millicent - Uhm... yeah, well, I haven't ever come across other stories with them, so maybe I'm alone in this.

Draco/Luna - It's so far out, they're rather fun. If you know of any good stories (romance please) then let me know.

I do not write slash, ever. I'm not against it, but if a character isn't canon gay, I don't care to write it or read it. As to Dumbledore, it wasn't mentioned in the books that he was gay so I'm not writing him that way. Sorry, but I just never saw him that way in the books. I really thought he was sweet on Minerva. So there.

I also will not write PWP, smut, etc. I don't mind reading it, but for the life of me, I can't write it at all. For one thing, I can't stop laughing when I try to write it. Yeah, I'm just an idiot that way. :)


I have a very strong antipathy towards the last three HP books, and given the chance will chew any hapless listener's ear off about it. I do not begrudge people that liked or loved the books and I will not insult or denigrate them for their opinions. I expect the same courtesy in return.

Thank you

MUST READ FAN FICS:

I am going to link to truly exceptional HP fanfics here. Mostly these will be Sevitus style fics.

1. Harry's New Home - by Kbinnz - This is how you wanted the books to be written. When Snape discovers that the Boy Who Lived has a less than savory home life, the Potions Master determines to do something about it. Read every word because it is just wonderful seeing how Harry and Snape view each others actions. A very long chaptered story it is complete with the exception of the Epilogue which is summarized.

2. The Cupboard by enahma - This will make you cry. If you don't, you've a heart of stone.

5. Braids reviews
A small scene in Diagon Alley. Severus Snape is observed being very human. This takes place a few years after the end of the Voldy War and ignores some pertinent events in the Deathly Hallows. A little Snamione for everyone whom I made cry with The Destruction of all That is Good and Kind.

It's the scene in the Shrieking Shack from DH. Right before Snape takes his last breath, he and Harry catch a wish. From there it's fluff all the way & Lucius is nice, too. Snape adopts Harry. This story is a bowl of sherbet lemons - very sweet.
