  • All the Corners That Are Left

    After patrol one night, Dick refuses to let an upset stomach and growing headache stop him from finding and visiting his estranged younger brother. But when Dick's symptoms take a turn for the worse and Jason is forced to take care of him, the role reversal and subsequent conversations reveal to Dick more about his own fears and insecurities than he is ready to admit.

  • Bits and Pieces

    A collection of unrelated, canon compliant 'short shorts' (1000 words or fewer) that are too small to post alone, but don't belong in another collection. Feel free to pick and choose. Currently taking requests via comments (refusal rights reserved).

  • Harry Potter and the Two Secrets

    Sequel to Harry Potter and the Time-Turner. A cryptic note from his future self warns Harry not to destroy the Time-Turner he got from Dumbledore in 1974. Armed with the knowledge that he is a Horcrux, Harry is forced to grow beyond his years and form an unlikely alliance with Professor Snape. And then, just when he's about to die, he is thrown into the past for the final time ...

  • Of Friendships and Letters and Late-Night Stargazing

    The night before Hermione Granger left for her first year at Hogwarts, she and her parents took a look at the stars. Astronomy is its own kind of magic – stars are still stars, no matter where you are, and family is still family, though far away. Now, throughout her would-be seventh year, she writes letters to her parents which will never be read. [Canon Compliant]

  • Up to No Good

    'We live for the highs; making trouble's what we do / Together 'til we die; I'd do anything for you …' A collection of twelve vignettes about the highs and lows of the lives of the Marauders, based on the wizard rock album Up to No Good by Split Seven Ways. [Canon Compliant]

  • Even Now

    On the day Ginny Weasley is set to return to a newly rebuilt Hogwarts for her seventh year, she and George have a very early chat on the front steps of The Burrow. It is at last time for a certain soul to be laid to rest. [Canon Compliant]

  • Bare Bones

    Sequel to Painfully Abnormal, the fourth part of In Retrospect. After spending an afternoon with Dudley, Harry comes home to Grimmauld Place for a dinner with Ginny, only to find that she wants to discuss a past he'd rather keep buried. [Canon Compliant]

  • For the Sake of Our Son

    It's the little things in life that matter in the end. James and Lily may not be star-crossed lovers, but war-weddings are almost bound to be jinxed. Two years of marriage, including a prophecy, months of hiding, a baby, a quick christening and a birthday celebration, never looked so short.

  • Worries

    A story about Ron and Hermione (and Rose and Hugo, to a lesser extent), and the little things that separate childhood worries from grown-up ones, and how our childhoods help shape the kind of parents we become … well, either that, or a lot of nonsense about nothing in particular. Take your pick. (Set in July 2015.)

  • The First Horcrux

    Second in my Evanna Potter series. After a hectic first year, Evanna Potter is ready to settle down for her second year at Hogwarts ... if her overprotective aunt will let her attend, that is. But she hasn't counted on a misguided house-elf, another dramatic Hallowe'en, a thoroughly useless Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher and a creepy diary. Fem!Harry, no slash. AU.

  • You Know I Love You

    Wendell and Monica Wilkins have never had children. But when a young woman with bushy brown hair arrives on their doorstep on Mother's Day in 1998, Monica discovers a past life she never knew existed. It's time to remember the magic.

  • The Morning After

    The Battle of Hogwarts is over, Voldemort is dead and Harry is alive, but for Ginny, some grievances scar too deeply to be forgotten with a tearful reunion and a kiss. Harry has some explaining to do. Companion/sequel to The Last Enemy.

  • Swimming in Silence

    Padma Patil has always been fiercely competitive. Second-best in the year simply isn't good enough for her, and it's frustrating when you have to compete against brains like Hermione Granger's. But if she wants to pass her Potions NEWT, perhaps it's time to swallow her pride and ask for help … though hoping for something more. Femslash, bi!Hermione, lesbian!Padma.

  • The Fiddler and the Fire-Brand

    'And yet, he sometimes wondered where Dan was now, whether he had enough to eat and where he slept at night. Dan was tough, but he was the best and only friend Nat had ever had.' A series of seven vignettes about the unlikely friendship between Plumfield's newest boys: the fiddler and the fire-brand, otherwise known as Nathaniel Blake and Daniel Kean. [Canon Compliant]

  • Life and Soul

    Sometimes, it all gets a bit much. After a long day of classes, Harry attends his Anti-Dementor lesson with Professor Lupin, but each time he hears his parents' voices, they become harder to resist. Somewhat darker and angstier than in canon. One-shot. Lupin mentors Harry.

  • Desperate Measures

    Desperate times call for desperate measures. Partnerless days before the Yule Ball, and goaded by a bet with Ron, Harry rashly asks out the next girl he sees. The result is a date with the very strange Luna Lovegood. Written for Jessica (KeepCalmAndWriteSomething), my Secret Santa.

  • In Retrospect

    'It had taken days to shake the feeling that something was wrong from his weary brain; even now, he could scarcely make himself relax, stop himself from constantly looking behind.' Five drabbles written for a challenge at HPFC. The settings range from the middle of Deathly Hallows to several years after the war. Canon-friendly.

  • The Muggles' Niece

    First in my Evanna Potter series. It's Lily Evanna Potter's first year at Hogwarts and things are getting interesting. For starters, Evanna is Sorted into Slytherin while her cousin is a Gryffindor, there's a troll loose in the castle on Hallowe'en, somebody's possibly trying to kill her ... Yes, this will be one strange year. Fem!Harry, Loving!Dursleys. No romance, no slash. AU.

  • Harry Potter and the Time Turner

    Harry and Hermione use the Time-Turner to go back three hours in time to save Sirius. But it malfunctions, sending them to a Hogwarts at a time unknown. Can they manage to get back? And why are they there in the first place? No slash. NOT Harry/Hermione. Suggestions for a more imaginative title are welcome.

  • Quidditch, Third Year

    You all know what happened during the Gryffindor-Hufflepuff Quidditch match in Harry's third year. But what was it like for Ron and Hermione, seeing their best friend almost die? [Canon Compliant]
