Tom O'Bedlam-A wandering beggar who levies charity on the plea of insanity. A famous anonymous Elizabethan poem is called 'Tom O'Bedlam's Song.'
~Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable

I figure insanity to be a prerequisite to writing fiction; here I am, begging reviews. To wit, I am a right Tom O'Bedlam.

To see mad Tom of Bedlam,
Ten thousand miles I've traveled
Mad Maudlin goes
On dirty toes
For to save her shoes from gravel.

Still I sing, bonny boys
Bonny, mad boys.
Bedlam's Boys are bonny!
For they all go bare,
And they live by the air,
And they want no drink or money.

~Tom O'Bedlam's Song

About the fics:

Mostly one-shots, mostly Harry Potter Blackverse. Lots of Narcissa, lots of Regulus. All of characterizations and plots are internally consistent as well as canonically. Except for 'The More Things Change' which doesn't quite match up with book 7. I killed off a few of the wrong people, and I haven't gotten around to changing any of the names yet. Maybe someday...

'I See' (Jesus Christ Superstar) is unfinished and I currently have writer's block in that direction, but I might update it; you never know. I have vague plans to rewrite 'Save Me' (WWRY) and 'Synethesia' (Good Omens), because neither works quite like I wanted it to, so if you have suggestions, leave a review to that effect. 'Counterpoint in Minor' (Death Note) is an anomaly; I actually like it, and it's not Harry Potter. Maybe someday I'll write something longer than half a page that's actually good!
