Aunt Milicent: What adventures?
Wendy: I've yet to have them. But they shall be perfectly thrilling!
(Peter Pan)


Hello, my name is Shadow, and if you've been here before, you'll notice I have a penchant for redoing this page. Often.

I write and read a variety of fandoms (usually books and movies) that almost all happen to be of the fantasy/sci-fi genre. My favorites are Narnia, Peter Pan, Harry Potter, and Robin Hood (mostly in that order), along with the Dark is Rising Sequence and many others. You'll find me reviewing across a myriad of works, other than those listed here, and liking them just as much.

Winter is my off season, and I write less when I am swamped in snow, homework, theatre, and snow. I prefer summer, when there is no snow. So, for the five months it spends snowing in Chicago, you'll only find the infrequent post or two. Though, occasionally, inspiration will strike. Most likely at three in the morning, when it always does.

"I do believe in fairies! I do! I do!" My profile image if one of Nene Thomas's amazing faeries. Check out more of them at www.nenethomas.com.

A few notes about some of my stories:

--Finding Sunlight is my first, and my very, very worst. Please, do not judge the rest of my writing by it. Just go read some of the better ones on my list...

--My Narnia stories are my favourite ones. They were posted in the following order, but by no means must they be read in that order. They are unconnected to each other, linked only by the author's notes, in which I tend to promise the next one and then promptly post them in a different order. Be on the lookout for many more Narnia stories from me. As C.S. Lewis said, it's up to children to fill in the gaps in Narnia, and I plan to continue doing just that.

Waiting (A four-shot in between LWW and PC)

Still Young (A four-shot in the Golden Age)

Believing (Susan after PC)

Aching (Lucy, and Peter a little bit, after LWW)

Want (SuxCapsian Movieverse)

Good-bye (Edmund from before LWW to LB)

Close to Home (Peter during VotDT; my very, very favourite one)

Footsteps (Peter before LWW)

Scarred (Edmund in the Golden Age)

Haunted (Peter in the Golden Age)

Burdened (Digory after VotDT before LB)

Unexpected (Peter, Lucy, and Edmund anytime after LWW and before LB, I guess)

Wishing Well (Peter and Lucy after LWW)

The Broken Wheel (My train-crash fic. I think that's all I need to say here... Oh, the title is a reference to Time)

Justice (Edmund, and a bit of Peter, in the Golden Age)

Ability (Aslan on Lucy--and probably not the other three any time soon: new author's note in the story explains. Sorry!)

Challenge (Lucy in the Golden Age)

--Chocolate and Peppermint is supposed to have a companion fic that details Izzie's background story, but my characters have gone on strike. They don't realise that everything turns out right in the end. -sigh- If you PM me, I'll give you the basic plot line.

--Helpless and Washing Away have been combined into one two-chapter fic instead of two separate companion fics. Just so you're not wondering what happened to Washing Away and why the completed Helpless suddenly sprouted a chapter two. (Moments in Time is better anyway. Just for the record.)

And lastly:

For Narnia, and for Aslan. Always.
