Sirius and Remus are together and hunting down Wormtail as well as caring for six-year-old Harry. Follow on from my 'Rescuing Harry' series, but can easily be read alone.

Just a little one-shot into Snape's rivalry with the Marauders. Set in first year.

James Potter has been in love with Lily Evans for over two years, but to her, he's still just an arrogant toerag. That is, until one night before Christmas changes everything… My take on how the Jily romance begins. One-shot.

Five-year-old Harry is having a horrible time with the Dursleys, and Remus Lupin feels lonely and isolated following the loss of his friends. Might it be possible that the two wizards find solace in each other? Another 'rescuing Harry' fic no one asked for, but I appear to have written anyway! Eventual Wolfstar.

Albus Dumbledore sits in his office and reflects on a week mediating between staff and counselling students. As a man who plays his cards close to his chest, he does not readily ask for help. How does he manage when things begin to feel too much in the wizarding world?

Just a fun little one-shot about the first ever Fred & George prank at Hogwarts... Because why not! Enjoy!

Regulus Black joined the death eaters at sixteen years old. It had seemed at first like a dream come true, and he was loyal to Voldemort, Bellatrix and the dark side. What exactly happened for him to see the light? How could someone change their mind like that, and how did he gather the courage to eventually leave? A generally canon-compliant story of the war from Regulus' POV.

Sirius and Dumbledore are alive and helping Harry defeat Voldemort. An alternative take on the events of Deathly Hallows. Rated T for some bad language and scenes of violence, but lots of good character development! Sirius/Severus/Albus/Harry viewpoints.

One-shot aftermath of the willow 'prank', exploring how this could have gone from James/Sirius/Dumbledore/Snape (briefly!)'s perspectives. While nothing too graphic, this story does include corporal punishment, so please don't read if this is disturbing for you. Also warning for some bad language (but not much!)

AU in which Sirius is a free man, caring for Harry with Remus. Wormtail is on the run again and Dumbledore is marginally less secretive with his hunt for horcruxes. Vaguely follows canon, but as you will see, with some obvious plot changes. Rated T for some bad language and violent scenes (but lots of good character development!)

Harry is living with Sirius and Remus and about to start his fifth year at Hogwarts. How will the events of the year change with Sirius as a free man? Sequel to 'A New Life (GOF)' but can be read alone. Canon-compliant characters with obvious plot divergence. Rated T for some bad language and violent scenes.

AU in which Wormtail doesn't escape after POA. Sirius fights to clear his name and to make good on the promise he made to Lily and James - to protect and care for their son. Canon compliant characters with slight plot divergence. Rated T for some bad language and violent scenes.

Walburga Black sees the world as it should be (ruled by purebloods), and cannot tolerate anyone who thinks otherwise. Her life is dictated by her pride and she is determined to have things her way. One-shot into a very twisted mind...!
