"A fine line runs between almost everything in life. Sometimes we choose to cross that line, and other times we're pushed across it. And on occasion, that line is broken entirely, taking the choice out of anyone's hands. I didn't like any of the situations. If I chose to cross it myself, then that would mean that I was responsible for what I had done. If I had no choice in the matter, then at least I'd be able to blame someone else, and then, just maybe, no one would blame me. I had no such luck."

Songfic based on Damien Rice's Volcanoes with a D/G pairing

This is a parody. What if Harry Potter was an American red neck cowboy? This is an exercise in learning how to write dialogue different from the normal English language. The British readers may have problems with it. I was also trying to develop dialogue which suggests sensual themes, but does not define them. What is really going on is in the minds of the reader. Overall, intense romance, strong sexual content, and a lot of humor, I hope. The story got the best of me. It was only supposed to be about six pages. I feel bad about writing it and I don't suggest you read it.

Man creates his own world, of fences and gates, of space and place and time but it's all the same, all a way of measuring off what doesn't truly belong to him.

Dear Diary, Bill handed me this book and told me to write in it. He said I needed it… But the last time I had a diary, it didn’t really work out for me. But Bill told me he bought this in a Muggle bookshop, so I know that there won’t be any incarnates of You-Know-Who hiding it in. Anyway, I just started my sixth year at Hogwarts last week. Harry finally asked me out (hurrah! It’s been long enough). We haven’t had a chance to go on the date yet, but a Hogsmeade weekend is coming up soon. I can’t wait! -Ginny

If Snape hadn't transferred his grudges onto a student, and Harry hadn't hated his professor as a result, they wouldn't have been friends or allies, but perhaps there would have been a grudging respect between them.

Dragons' Heartstrings is a fan fic in soap opera form, based on Harry's life after Hogwarts. Packed with Gred and Forge style humor, random jokes, and satire, Dragons' Heartstrings pokes fun at the dramatic quality of soap operas as well as the far-fetched ideas of some other Harry Potter fan fictions.

"I’m seventeen and I’m crazy." Luna Lovegood muses on birthdays, Them, and relative insanity. One-shot.

A little one-shot of how life is, from Pansy Parkinson's point of view, and the role sour oranges have in her life. Angst-ridden but nothing particularly explicit. Self-injury implied. Pansy/Draco.

It had been alright in the end. Perhaps it was better this way, after all, with Ron and Hermione like sheer myths to him. Perhaps it was better to see his life with them as a fairy tale story that one day the reader had stopped reading. Perhaps it was better that though the first to die, the innocents would not be the last. Harry was prepared for this day, hour, very moment. Inspired by the song "We're Forgiven". H/Hr

"'…I hope you realize I can’t be there for you like he is…”````Those words keep ringing through my head over and over again. I know he couldn’t have been able to tell, but he’s crushed me with those very words. It isn’t just those words, though; I know it’s not. I remember his exact tone of voice. It was hollow, empty, and unfeeling—so different from the one he used before luring me into his lusty trap. Typical Slytherin…"````Harry contemplates the past night's events with extreme regret--and now he has to figure out a way to tell Ron. ````Slash. Harry/Draco, Harry/Ron.

Every day is a struggle and her resolve is slowly being destroyed. Can she survive her own hell?

Dreams. By day Snape can sneer at them and push them to the back of his mind. But as he well knows its not so simple to keep such an iron control of the subconscious at night. Unease can become fear, dreams can become nightmares...

Harry’s in deep trouble. He’s also in Hull. Factor in an evil, fuming faction, a nemesis, and some Ancient Greek Thugs and you’ve got yourself a fic. A completely irreverent jokelette about villains, creeping around, and sexual tension that could (loosely) be called a ‘thriller’ but really, you’d have to be mad. [H/D]

Ginny is tired of being the good girl.
