I have been writing original fiction for several years. I seem to be particularly talented at starting novels and then not finishing them. Despite that, at this point I have four finished novels, several poems, and a few shorter stories.
I entered the world of fan fiction due to a post-HBP speculation I had about Regulus Black, Severus Snape, and the potion in the cave, which led to the one-shot story The Secret Papers of Regulus Black.
That story has inspired a sequel (still in progress) and two prequels, Damage Control and Loyaulte me lie.
As for challenges, I am occasionally inspired. The Prodigal Son is my response to the June 2007 One Shot Challenge, and features Percy seeking to reconcile with his family.
I also participated in the Summer 2006 Gauntlet challenge, with The Labyrinth of Lost Souls. Part of that story involved a riddle, which sparked my other posted one shot, The Logic Problem.
Both The Labyrinth of Lost Souls and The Prodigal Son won second place in their respective challenges.
I'm currently working on a long, self-indulgent work that's based on another fan fiction (and thus, will never be available for public viewing), the sequel to The Secret Papers of Regulus Black, and two Year 7/Post-Hogwarts stories that are very different from each other.
Due to my tendency to abandon works, I have decided not to upload any chapters of a given story until the entire story is complete.
The Papers Series (in chronological order based on plot):
The Secret Papers of Regulus Black - what started it all.
Damage Control
Loyaulte me lie (secretly my favorite) - second prequel (i.e. it happens after the events in Damage Control)
Stories not part of the Papers Series:
Labyrinth of Lost Souls - my second favorite.
The Prodigal Son
The Logic Problem

Harry Potter and the Heirs of Slytherin by fawkes_07
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: This is an alternate version of Book Seven. Harry reluctantly returns to Hogwarts to train with a new DADA teacher, one appointed in specifically for Harry in Dumbledore's will. As the rest of the Wizard World reacts to Dumbledore's defeat, Harry develops the skills he needs to fulfill the Prophecy--including mastery of the Kedavra curse.
Mysteries are explored along the way, particularly the "missing 24 hours" from 1981--the span of time between Hagrid taking Baby Harry from the ruins of Godric's Hollow on Halloween Night, and his arrival to hand off Baby Harry on Privet Drive the following night. The Veil Room in the Department of Mysteries is also revisited. A traitor is uncovered, and Dumbledore's wisdom comes into question. And even when all goes as planned, things are not all they seem.
A Different Reality by Gmariam
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Harry has just witnessed the death of Professor Dumbledore, and chases after the murderous Snape before he can escape the grounds. But the former potions master easily captures Harry, and takes him back to Spinner’s End along with Draco Malfoy. What happens to Harry at Spinner’s End? Will Snape cement his allegiance to the Dark Lord and turn Harry over to Voldemort? What happens to Draco Malfoy? Will Voldemort punish him for his failure on the Tower? And what about Severus Snape - will Harry learn the truth about the former Death Eater at last?
This story is now complete, and presents an alternate ending to Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince, in which Harry learns more than he could have ever imagined about Professor Snape and Professor Dumbledore. He must abandon many of his old convictions and come to an understanding of a new and different reality before setting out on his final journey to vanquish Lord Voldemort in Book Seven.
Lacrima Serpentis by Insecurity
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: This story is set in the dystopian society of Wizarding England under the control of Voldemort. Fifteen years after leaving Hogwarts, Harry Potter is in hiding; he fears the words of the Prophecy and has lost the will to fight. This story tells the tale of an adult Hermione who sacrifices everything: her family, her moral beliefs and eventually her dignity, in order to save the Wizarding world. She becomes a Death Eater under the recommendation of someone she barely trusts. She struggles to find the courage and strength, but with every choice she makes she gets deeper and deeper into danger.
Chapter 33 is finally up. Thank you for your support and patience..
Patrick Thatcher and the Colonist's Compass by Dean Thomas
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Patrick Thatcher’s older brother teases him, his mother worries about him, and his father defends him. His family sounds very much like any other, but somehow Patrick’s is far from average. In Patrick’s world, adults disappear into thin air, owls deliver mail, and the most popular sport in the country is played on broomsticks. Not to mention that every member of his family is, and always has been, a wizard. When your grandfather is a famous American veteran, being a Thatcher isn’t the easiest life to live. When his acceptance letter to the most prestigious American school of magic arrives addressed to another student, Patrick’s position in his former world begins to take a tumble—right along with the newly elected President of Magic’s approval ratings. With the Wizarding world’s eyes shifting toward a new wizard, can Patrick figure out just why his first year is off to a rocky start? Inspired by J.K. Rowling’s wondrous Harry Potter Series, Patrick Thatcher’s adventures of wizardry in the United States is a tale all its own while still respecting its English origins. Readers are sure to find that the magic across the pond is just as unforgettable.
In the Eyes of Others by Vindictus Viridian
Rated: Professors •Summary: Severus has never seen the appeal of repetition, particularly of things that ended badly the first time. In his life, he has kept one pet, owned one broom, and had one close friend.
Winner of Mod Quicksilver Quill for Best Novel! Thanks, all!
Rating and warnings do not apply to all chapters; I just didn't want anyone hooked and then shocked.
"What is it?" His mother held out her hand, and he put the letter in it wordlessly. "Are you eleven already?"
His father lowered the newspaper to look at the calendar. "Yesterday. ‘Appy birthday." And that was the end of that.
Warthogs School of Tyranny and Tomfoolery by Insecurity
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Warthogs is the reverse of Hogwarts. Everybody's personality is the contrary to in the books. It is a "humour fic" (If I even dare call myself funny) that tells the tale of the Final Battle. I wrote this because I was sick of writing depressing stories about unrequited love and death. It makes a light change to the rest of my collection.
