I have two stories in the Ingo-verse, four stories in Harry Potter, one story in Artemis Fowl, one story in To Kill a Mockingbird, two stories in Death Note, two stories in the Chronicles of Narnia, one story in Chronicles of Narnia/Harry Potter, two stories in the Leviathan verse, three stories in the Prince of Tennis verse and one story of Avatar the Last Airbender.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake - Napolean Bonaparte

Hatred is gained as much by good works as by evil - Niccolo Machiavelli

A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behaviour is patience and moderation - Moliere

I thought that it was about high time I updated this to suit my current worldview. I am Arysthae, the cynical, intelligent, most definitely not modest, teenaged girl (adding to the majority of people who write for this website) from Britain, who currently resides in the sunny state of Cali, much to her chagrin. I will not claim that I am a great author, but apparently people like my work, which is enough for me. I am constantly improving my work and I appreciate feedback greatly, both positive and negative where necessary.

My obsessions at the moment are Harry Potter, Death Note, Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler. There are many different literature and arts that I appreciate, but these are the characters that play about in my mind and refuse to leave me alone currently. Naturally, this topic is subject to a great deal of change.

Currently, the focal points of my fictional obsessions lie firmly on Light Yagami, Near, Misa Amane (Death Note), Ciel Phantomhive, Prince Soma, Elizabeth Midford, Finni (Black Butler), Captain Hitsugaya, Soi Fong, Yoruichi-san (Bleach) and Neville Longbottom (If you don't know where he's from, shame on you.)

Seeing as I read nearly four times the amount of fiction that I write, which shows from my numerous favourites list, here are the best of the best that really inspired me a lot and are truly worth reading. This may take some time and will be constantly updated as I find more and more awesome fics.

Death Note

Second Chances by Spades 44 : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6277702/1/Second-Chances
Crime doesn't just stop because you're dead. Set in the afterlife. L catches bad guys, eats cake, falls in love and is haunted by a giant evil skeleton. Very, very slow meandering romance. Naomi/Raye, Matt/Mello, L/someone familiar. Rated M.

Redivivus by Silver Pard : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4182475/1/Redivivus
The most important thing Ryuk learned watching Light Yagami was how to follow the rules to the letter and still break them. Rated T.

Perfectly Hollow by Silver Pard : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4367769/1/Perfectly-Hollow
What happens when two fated people never meet? Rated T

(Before I list too many, EVERYTHING by Silver Pard is amazing. No jokes. Go read it.)

Genius Is A Curse by Bloodshot Eyes : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4029915/1/Genius-is-a-Curse
If Light had never touched the Death Note, would he ever have found an escape from the depression and boredom that plagued him? Would he have had a future at all? T for dark themes.

It's 2016 & Light is bored to death. Ryuk offers him the Death Note, a program that lets him wreak havoc anonymously in a virtual world. L pursues this Kira, but when real people start dying, the line between fantasy and reality blurs beyond recognition.

Dangling Conversation by Carnivorous Muffin : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5671838/1/Dangling-Conversation
Jack had been abandoned all his life. He had always been left forgotten on the beaten path, watching the horde move beyond him, move past him—a wilting blossom of amaranth, dying in his immortality, left trampled and forgotten. Light-Centric rebirth fic. Rated T.

The Aftertaste of Death by oursolemnhour49 : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7841455/1/The-Aftertaste-of-Death
Taking the world from a god is an act of sacrilege requiring will, courage, and an intelligence to match the god in question. Having two of those three traits is a problem for the would-be desecrator, but it won't stop her trying. AU/what-if. Rated T.

Jihi no Tenshi by Raven Ehtar : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7884546/1/R-Jihi-no-Tenshi
When Misa finds a bloodied man who bears a strange resemblance to L, she's ends up questioning at lot of what she used to believe, with bloody results. Rated for trauma, gore, and sexual situations. BB/BB!Misa. Rated M

What's My Name by Raven Ehtar : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5440430/1/What-s-My-Name
In the early days of the Wammy House, there were some bugs in the program. What does it take to turn a boy into a killer? Beyond Birthday's story, without the filters. Rated M for disturbing imagery, language, psychological trauma and gore.

(Again, the same thing applies to Raven's amazing series of oneshots)

Ad Arcana by angeltrap : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5716258/1/
AU, 19th century London. Murder and mayhem had always seemed to shadow their steps wherever they walked, but this time the bloody trail led a little too close to theirs. LightxL MelloxMatt

Silent Consonant by Dr.Kim-chan : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4874455/1/
"12 and 13 make 25. One is missing. 12 knows why." A mystery fic AU where BB breaks out of prison before the Kira case begins and brings all of the characters together in a chase across the globe. Who is the real villain in this game?

But It's Warm in Here by TheNearlyMissed : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8664018/1/But-It-s-Warm-in-Here
A collection of M&M oneshots describing numerous ways the two legendary Wammy Boys could have come out of the closet to each other. Rated T for language. Yaoi aplenty!

Forgotten Nostalgia by Perry-Dice : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5634018/1/Forgotten-Nostalgia
I want to know why he leaves the flowers on the grave of someone named Soichiro Yagami. I want to know why he lingers outside the old Sakura TV station. I want to know what the ominous tombstone marked only with the letter L means." Kira Victory AU. Rated K

Independent Variables by MantoDea : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4057657/1/Independent-Variable
Completely gratuitous, and fluffy as kittens. Near and Linda decide to do some research, and discover that not all variables are predictable

Harmony by MantoDea : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4067954/1/Harmony
Mello and Near find that they can work together sometimes...for a little while, at least. Rated K. No romance, just sheer music and comradeship...

Under One Roof by Sarapsys : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5839181/1/Under-One-Roof
Wammy's House, in 60 patchworked ficlets from the perspectives of students and staff. Interquel of Sins of the Father. Rated T. A similar yet different Wammy's House to my own interpretation. It's lovingly woven and you really get to know all of the characters, even if you don't necessarily agree with all if the interpretations of characters.

(All of Sarapsys' fics are amazing and awesome and heartwrenching too. Also, on her dA account, she had marvelous fanarts as well! )

How To Beat Near and Take Over the World in 13 Days by Cyri's Alter Ego : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8216534/1/How-To-Beat-Near-Take-Over-The-World-in-13-Days
"This is a series of important notes that I want to leave behind. In case I die or something. Yeah. 'Cause trust me, this is gonna be the most important damn thing you've ever read in your life. Ready? Grab a seat or something. ...This is how to beat Near." Rated T for swearing, and lots of it. These are teenage males, here.

Integrity and Cake by Serria : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3506567/1/Integrity-and-Cake

Louder Than Words by Bialy : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4415725/1/Louder-Than-Words
AU set after the end. "I expect you to listen to a call to arms," Near said simply. "I'm not a soldier!" she protested. He blinked. "No, Sayu. You are a Yagami." Matsuda/Sayu/Near. rated T.

Nicotine Patches and Picture Books by Underwater Owl :
As far as Matt's concerned, this 'saving' bit is the worst thing to ever happen to him. When you get gunned down, you should just die, not wake up in a hospital bed months and miles later. Bloody Near never could leave well enough alone, could he? Rated T.

Of Olympians and Oddballs by Miss Bright : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6986607/1/Of-Olympians-and-Oddballs
What begins with an apple doesn't always end with a horse. AU; DN/Greek Mythology crossover character study. Rated T.

Orange by Satan's Sweeties : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6306454/1/Orange
Orange: a secondary color created by mixing the primary colors red and yellow. Collection of Mello/Matt stories; as such, it will contain shounen-ai/yaoi, strong language, and general awesomeness-it's Mello and Matt, awesomeness in its purest form. Rated T.

Primes by bksjfdghjdf : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3982838/1/Primes
Mello finds himself in a complex web of savagery after arriving at Wammy House, but a certain gamer's there to help him cope--until even that fragile trust is called into question while they work to catch a murderer. Happiness wasn't meant to be. Complete. Rated T for breaking your heart at the end.

Rewrite by justaminuet : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3220437/1/Rewrite
L x Misa. A moment in time. A chance meeting. Fate turned upside down. Rated T.

Something Near the Truth by darkhelmetj : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3379072/1/Something-Near-the-Truth
Halle never thought of herself as a puzzle person. There was, however, one puzzle which she could not bring herself to leave unfinished. SPK and Near Fic. PostChapter 107. Entire Series Spoilers. Oneshot. Rated T for social drinking and mild language.

When others demand that we become the people they want us to be, they force us to destroy the person we really are. Alternate reality. MelloxMisa, LightxMatt. Spoilers for chapter 99. For paitac. Rated T.

Harry Potter

Be Careful by whydoyouneedtoknow : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4537729/1/Be-Careful
Starts after Ch. 1 of DH, crossover with Dangerverse AU, short chapters. Draco Malfoy, trapped in a life he never chose, wishes as he falls asleep that he were somewhere he could start over. Maybe he should have listened to his proverbs. Now complete. Rated T.

(whydoyouneedtoknow's Dangerverse is richly spun with amazing tales and a nice storyline, though some of the characterisation of the villains is a little cookiecutter.)

Back Again, Harry? by Jedi Buttercup : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3693052/1/Back-Again-Harry
Harry makes a different choice in King's Cross and is given the double edged gift of a second chance. Time Travel AU, DH canon. WIP. Rated T.

...But oh, were they wrong. We're just Slytherins. A series of oneshots about the Slytherins in Harry's year. Rated K

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by lesswrong ... This really needs no other explanation. It's the most reviewed story on the website.

Midnight by the Weasley Watch by excessivelyperky :
The preliminaries to the International Chess Tournament has come to Hogwarts and Ron intends to win it. The whole school goes mad over chess and Ron is in his element for once. Once he makes his way to the International Tournament with Snape as a travelling companion, Ron goes on his own adventure for once. Made amazing by the brilliant characterization of Ron in his element without any romance to muddle the waters.

Oh God, Not Again! by Sarah1281 : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4536005/1/Oh-God-Not-Again
So maybe everything didn't work out perfectly for Harry. Still, most of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to become a father. If only he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't have had to go back and do everything AGAIN. Rated K

On A Train, Switching Tracks by Mede : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4810036/1/On-a-Train-Switching-Tracks

Operation Chaos Done Right by Star Bear : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4569093/1/Operation-Chaos-Done-Right
Having lost everything the seventh year class decides to go back in time and do it right. This is going to require lots of planning though, because they don't want to be bored by the same time line now do they?

Petunia Joins the Club by EbonyWing : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7270010/1/Petunia-joins-the-Club
In canon, Petunia Evans wrote a letter pleading to be allowed into Hogwarts. But what if she didn't have to? How many lives would change if Petunia was a Witch too? Major AU!

Dudley's Memories by paganaidd : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6142629/1/Dudley-s-Memories
Minerva needs help delivering another letter to #4 Privet Drive. At forty, Dudley is not at all what Harry expects. A long overdue conversation ensues. DH cannon compliant, but probably not the way you think. Prologue to "Snape's Memories". Rated T.

Snape's Memories by paganaidd : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6329597/1/Snape-s-Memories
Sort of a sequel and a companion piece to Dudley's Memories. Harry is finding a healthy outlet for his "saving people thing" in the form of one damaged little boy. In doing so he finds himself thinking about his old teacher, quite a bit.

Severus' Dreams by paganaidd : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7679130/1/Severus-Dreams
During that dark year when Voldemort held sway over Wizarding Britain, Poppy Pomfrey gives Headmaster Snape a Christmas gift. Sequel to "Snape's Memories".

The locals in a sleepy corner of the Cheviot Hills are surprised to discover that they have new neighbours. Who are the strangers at Drakeshaugh? Rated T.

Enjoy my fics! Please take the time to review or even to fave/alert it. I honestly smile more every single time I see an email informing me that I have some feedback. It only takes a few seconds to fave/alert a story and it makes such a difference.
