Bellegestehide bio
Author has written 20 stories for Harry Potter. I am a Brit. I am married with two grown-up sons. I love cats. At the moment I have two Chocolate Burmese. I started reading the HP books to my kids, and then got hooked. I am interested in all forms of literature and love the creative use of language and word-play. I am also a closet TNG Trekkie and big Rickman (RIP) fan. Lost Perspective (1 - 7 ) started as a Severitus Challenge fic (Pre-HBP and, by definition, AU) and developed into a number of sequels as I grew into the characters and wanted to take them further. In each one I either introduce new characters or approach the story from a different slant or pov, though the constant theme running though and unifying all the stories is the endlessly enigmatic character of Snape. Harry isn't exactly a saint in these fics - sorry to Harry fans. New Perspective consists of two stories: THE CHOSEN and its sequel TAKEN ON TRUST. They are compatible with HBP but not DH, and give a version of Snape's life after HBP in which he is firstly tracked down by Hermione and later uses her as a go-between in his dealings with Harry. Ultimately SSHG but not squicky. The stories are a mix of angst, romance, hurt/comfort and my rather irreverent humour. No slash, no fluff, no PWP. If you read them, please review and tell me what you think. Or email me. Thanks. And heartfelt thanks to my wonderful betas Duj and Cecelle. |
