Greetings!

Thanks to everyone for visiting these stories. I hope you find something you like here.

I have written 22 individual pieces for fanfiction.net. One of those is a short story collection, currently comprising 17 stories. A short note for each one follows.

A Mosaic Created From All the Broken Crockery, A Mosaic of Warping Mirrors and A Mosaic of Trespasses are set in Harry's third, fourth and fifth years, respectively. Harry discovers he has an entrepreneurial gift, a knack for spotting an opportunity to make a profit. Two Slytherin witches step up to help and make a couple of galleons along the way.

A Need to Give Fluff. Harry and Pansy Parkinson are leftovers after all the frantic post-war mating. Might as well make the best of it.

An Ordinary Magical Couple An alternative history for each year. Could have been in canon. Could have, but wasn't.

And This Is My Beloved One of those "What do you mean I'm betrothed? What is a betrothal, anyway?" stories.

Collected Short Stories - We Will Make Time Short stories, for when you don't have an entire rainy day to use any way you want. Some stand alone, others connect.

Further Sorting Harry Potter, Daphne Greengrass and a Veela named Gabrielle. Now with additional chapters!

Harriet Potter and All the Memes My attempt at a FEM! Harry tale. Yes, Harriet goes to magical boarding school, bending it to her will.

Harry Potter and His Instant Family The Boy Who Lived grows up, turns out, he's too much man for one woman. Read Andrius' story Twins first, please.

Lavender, Fred and the Bardo Lavender Brown and Fred Weasley die in the Battle, meet up in the space between life and death, have an adventure while there.

Like It Was Meant To Be Harry, Daphne, a lovely cottage in the woods.

Merit and Inheritance Lots of mystical stuff swirls around Harry in the post-war world.

Millicent in Bloom The focus is on Millicent Bulstrode and Neville Longbottom. Harry and Daphne begin to see a possibility in the other. Must be the season.

Not Epilog Compliant What it says because the next-gen has its own ideas.

Wheels Within Wheels Three-parter, Harry and Daphne establish a dynasty.

Petunia in Winter Aunt Petunia from a different angle.

The Oral History The Auror's superiors apply not-so-subtle pressure, thinking they're sending him to the Historian's office to make a contribution to the historical record. Which he did, falling into a honey trap along the way.

Two Daughters Harry starts a family with Bellatrix Lestrange. They're everything you'd expect.

Under the Fluorescents, Flickering Harry Potter and Pansy Parkinson discover baggage is lighter if one is helping a partner. Considering writing some more about Harry and Pansy because the sexual tension just drips off the page and, besides, they are so HOT!

Years of Struggle He had no desire for riches, manors or fame. All he really wanted to do was to see his family grow up in peace.

On Writing: I have the greatest respect for anyone who will get off Top Dead Center and draft a little fiction. Everyone has a story. Everyone can tell their story, if they just sit down and do it. Thus, it is worth the little bit of extra time it takes to use a spelling and grammar feature. It is also well worth your time to learn the difference in the most common homonyms--there, their, they're and rain, reign, rein. Sure, the readers can sort it out from context. They will know what you mean. That isn't the point. Make that little extra effort to polish your work. We will all appreciate it.

Life can be hard. Share. Be kind to each other. Lend a hand when one is needed. Accept a little help when someone offers. If someone around you is tedious or annoying, it is all material for a writer. Don't get mad. Soak it up, change the names, write it down. Just don't tell them. Regards, B
