Well hello... I'm Kylie, aka, DarkSunflower. :) To those of you wondering about my penname, there's a reason for it; it's a bit of an oxymoron that describes my personality. I can be dark, "mysterious", anti-social, quiet, and pessimistic, but I'm also very outgoing, social, bubbly, optimistic, and... well, I think you understand the point. So, DarkSunflower; that's me! :)
Anyway, I'm 17 years old, American with all-European roots, and obviously, I'm an intense Harry Potter fan (although I just jumped on the bandwagon in June of 2010). I'm a proud Hufflepuff (as any of my friends would tell you), and I embrace that with all of my heart!
I'm an immensely huge Dramione fanatic. Honestly, it's not even funny... Kind of pathetic, really. But, although I'd never admit it to my friends, I'm basically a sucker for almost any romance story. But not the overly-mushy-gushy ones. But boy, how embarrassing... Hahah!
My first and only completed fic as of yet, The End of Her World, is currently up (if you haven't read it, please do!), but I currently have two other stories in the works. At the moment I'm trying to focus on my first Dramione fic, Painted Fire. Chapter two is currently up and chapter three is now in the works, though taking longer than expected. Hopefully soon my new one-shot Eclectic Harmony about the four founders of Hogwarts will be finished, so keep watch. :)
Well, that's about all I've got to say! Until next time, my fellow fan-fic readers!

Born the Day You Kissed Me by CLee
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: I was born the day you kissed me...I died inside the night you left me...But oh how I lived while you loved me. . . .
The sequel Agapanthus is up!
Date: 07/08/11 Title: Chapter 24: Black
The first say, nine chapters, were a little.... iffy. Basic vocabulary, lots of grammatical and spelling errors, not very compelling. But I was determined to finish, hoping that it would get better as it went along. And, oh boy, did it! The storyline was always interesting, and I'm pretty sure I couldn't have clicked the "Next Chapter" button any faster than I did. Can't wait to read the sequel!

Finality by Eilime
Rated: Professors •Summary: One-shot
He tore, bit, sucked, breathed, scratched at her as her flailing arms and legs won no victory.
She stood in silence for a while, knowing but not caring that he still stood behind her. She heard him mutter something and warmth surrounded her. A figment of imagination. An unreal cover.
Euphemism.
Though she was warm, it didn’t reach her body, her mind, her soul. She was freezing.
A hand came to rest on her arm.
This time, she let him.
At that moment, Hell froze over.
Warning: Contains mention of rape. Nothing graphic.

Date: 07/05/11 Title: Chapter 11: Convenient Truths
As much as I usually don't enjoy the whole Hermione/Snape ship, this was... different, I guess. I wouldn't say I loved it, and I still find the teacher-student relationship...sketchy?...but I've kind of got a new perspective on it. Plus, it was very well written. Nicely done. :)

Date: 02/25/11 Title: Chapter 77: Chapter Seventy-Six: Lottie’s Last Stand
This is probably the second most phenomenal story I have read on this website... I really admire how you were able to show Lottie growing up and changing but still staying true to her character. And the way you were able to tie in the extraordinary talent Lottie had for occ/leg in how she killed Voldemort was... Wow. I just didn't expect it. Can't wait to read the epilogue. :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much! Knowing how many awesome stories there are on this site, that means a lot to me!
Thanks for the review!
EponineDate: 02/27/11 Title: Chapter 78: Epilogue
Oh lord, that ending almost made me cry... Poor Lottie! It's good to see her finally giving in to her emotions, but for how many emotions she must be having... Being happy, sad, angry, and completely and utterly devestated all at once is way too much for any one person to feel.
Again, this story is fantastic! I couldn't give you enough praise as to all the things I've loved about this story. A job well done, a story well written!
Author's Response: Yes, Lottie's got a long way to go on the path of emotional healing.
Thank you so much for the review and for reading!

For Innocence We Sin by Eilime
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Two-shot
Hermione knew it wasn’t her business. And she didn’t mean to get involved either. But it’s difficult not to when you realise that you’re the only one who has noticed this change; that no one else seems to care that Draco Malfoy is looking more and more tired, weak and pale each day, sporting dark circles under his eyes, and Hermione wants to know why.
I didn’t expect a thank you; a nod was fine with me.

To Love Life Again by lucilla_pauie
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: There's magic in dates.
Harry and Ginny and the Weasleys believe this.
This is why they send their poor Hermione to her granny’s cottage in Ireland on February twenty-ninth, Leap Year, hoping she could also leap back to life and perhaps to love once more, five years after losing Ron in the war.Hermione doesn't know it, but her parents and the Weasleys plus Harry are not content seeing her slaving away with paperwork and living by routine with a dead look in her eyes.
In Ireland, amidst the hills and the romantic whispering of the mountain breeze and the sea, in the handsome seaside village of Ardmore, someone is waiting for her.…someone waiting for something to complete his own return to life.
Someone named Andrei MacElroy...or so he claims.This had been entered into the New Year Challenge At the Sign of the Green Dragon and won 2nd Place (insert very undignified *squee* here).
Rave reviews. Not your usual Dramione fic. The sequel is up. ~Then Somebody Bends~

An Aversion to Change by Misdemeanor1331
Rated: Professors •Summary: After his failed attempt on Dumbledore's life, Draco seeks refuge at the Order of the Phoenix. Sent back to Hogwarts with suspicious title of Head Boy, he is forced to share a dormitory with none other than Hermione Granger. But with war looming on the horizon and another danger even closer to home, their seventh year of Hogwarts is anything but ordinary.
A story of compelling intrigue, hidden motives, dangerous secrets, and obvious passion. Animagi, Quidditch, the Order of the Phoenix. Masquerades and riddles. Hate and love. Pleasure and pain. A blend of contradictions that, for two people, makes a truly unforgettable final year. Slow moving D/Hr with plenty of plot.
Date: 06/01/11 Title: Chapter 42: An Aversion to Change
Honestly, this story never seizes to interest me. I don't even know how many times I've read this story. In all honesty, I seriously love. This. Story.

I am very proud (and thoroughly exhausted) to say that I have offically stayed up all night reading this, and I don't regret it at all. Minus the fact that I have finals this week, and have yet to do an ounce of studying... But, I digress. I don't think words could possibly describe how much I'm enjoying this story. So far, a job well done!
Author's Response: And I am very tickled (I always end up saying this, haha) over another reader who slapped sleep away in favor of reading. :D I hope you still do well on your finals! Thanks so mucho, Kylie!

This is the most unique take on how James and Lily really got to know each other. The story is hilarious and keeps you laughing throughout, but it never lets you forget the serious stuff. Plus, she somehow manages to end each chapter with a nice cliffhanger.
