I am a long time lover and writer of fanfiction for Harry Potter and other fandoms. I've been on a very long Hiatus and have decided to take another kick at the can. I'll be re-posting some older stories as well as a couple of new fics. I highly recommend the reading of the fantastic essays archived at the , in particular The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore, By Theowyn. I found it fascinating and eye-opening.

I write mostly for my own enjoyment, but I am not about to say that I don't enjoy reviews. I love to hear what you think about my stories. Do you love it? Do you hate it? Did something I wrote make you think a little deeper? I think that's why most people write fan fiction, we crave the feedback from like-minded readers.

Stories:

Foolish Girl - After the events at the Department of Mysteries, Hermione struggles with unrelenting nightmares. Out of Desperation she turns to potions to sleep, but falls prey to a dangerous addiction. Only Snape seems to notice her slow fall, and cares enough to pull her up out of it. Can she survive being pulled into his world, or will it just get her killed?

Capitulation - After the Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione can't live with the destruction of the world she loves and decides to go back in time to keep it from happening at all. She never expected to fall into the hands of the very man she sought to destroy. Seeing the World through Tom Riddle's eyes can be a dangerous thing.

A Walk in the Woods & After the Woods - One Shot & its continuation. Response to a plot bunny posted on the Death Eater Express group. A Death Eater catches Hermione in the middle of a nefarious act, and is intrigued. When he makes her an offer she can't refuse, a sequence of events is set into motion that will shift the balance of power from Dark to Light.

What Worth A Life? - This is a Post Deathly Hallows fic that centers around Hermione and a life debt she ends up owing to Lucius Malfoy. I'd never really given this pairing much thought until I read the unbelievably heart-wrenching story Eden. So dark, so tragic...but it really made me think about the two of them together. Slow burn, hints of mentorship, and lots of self discovery for Hermione. This one has me by the heartstrings so I'll be posting regular updates.

Web of Lies - A Severitus fic that will adhere to the rules of that challenge. I've been toying with this story for the better part of a few years, writing/rewriting, plotting, and finally presenting it to the public so other can enjoy it. Not yet complete, but I have all the plot lines mapped to the end. Getting back into my groove on this story, updates every week or two at this point.

The Dark and Winding Road - will take us down the relatively unexplored path of the Dark Arts. Is Harry ready to follow Severus into the dark, and face what he finds there? {Currently on hiatus}

Positively Machiavellian - The Malfoys have let others decide their course for too long. What events will be set in motion when they finally decide to choose the course of their own destiny? My attempt to peek behind the green curtain at the politics of the wizarding world. {Currently on Hiatus}
