Continuation Poll- 13

Hey everyone, back with a continuation poll for the first time in a while. I'm removing a couple things that I don't have any solid ideas for at the moment and putting some things back in that I do, plus 'The Mentor' after winning in the 'Story Poll'.

As always, thanks for voting and feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

The Benefits of Saving Veela - Chapter 53

AN: Casting-

Orina- Hilde Osland

Ginny- Megan DeLuca

Fleur- Alla Bruletova

Sue Li- Park Da Hyun

Anya- Hannah Palmer

Susan- Natalia Tihomirova

Padma- Ketika Sharma

Daphne- Nicole Deliah

“Can’t believe this is actually happening…” Ron tightened the bracers around his forearm for what must’ve been the hundredth time.

“It’s happening, mate in…” Harry checked the clock, “about five minutes. Might want to get your hea...

The Mentor- Part 2

AN: Back to a poll winner. Thanks for voting and hope you enjoy!

Casting-

Morgana- Martina Erregue

“Again, Harry.” Miss Le Fay instructed, her tone strict but not unkind. Her blunt, no nonsense teaching style was something that he’d become entirely accustomed to since starting his ‘remedial lessons’.

Every moment, from when he stepped foot in school until the final bell tolled, he spent with his mentor. Save for a recess for lunch where he chose to keep to h...

Taming a Dragon- Part 11

AN: Blunt truth, things have been pretty awful. Everything has finally settled and I'm fully resetting going into the new year. Can't even express how much the support has been appreciated.

Casting-

Rhaenyra- Marie Wildes

---------

It was late afternoon as Harry walked through the Red Keep with Barbo. The day was admittedly busy after the attack in the Kingswood. Preparations were made for his leaving feast as word spread through the city. It meant that he’d spent m...

The Benefits of Saving Veela- Chapter 52

Casting-

Padma- Ketika Sharma

Sue Li- Park Da Hyun

As Harry approached the painting of Barnabas the Barmy, the door to the Room of Requirement appeared without one thought, let alone three. Dumbledore’s mastery of the room, in such a short time, was quite impressive. I imagine being headmaster makes it slightly easier.

Entering the room, he found Dumbledore waiting for him, alone. Though unlike their previous sessions, he wasn’t idle. He had the Room con...

Scourge of the Heathen- Chapter 18

AN: Just wanted to let everyone know, my dad had his heart procedure as of last week, and everything went well. No complications. I'm hoping everything starts to even out a bit now.

Anyway... hope you enjoy!

Casting-

Rowena- Anna Belik

Freyja- Sophie Saint Marjan

For a few breathless moments, the room was truly silent. Their utter bewilderment could be excused though...

Story Poll- 25

Hope everyone is doing well. Back with the first Poll in a while. One new option this time around after 'Caught in the Act' won the last one.

As always, thanks for voting and let me know if you have any questions.

The Mentor

AN: Long time since this won its poll. Apologies again for the delays. Life is just in a teeth kicking mood lately where I'm concerned.

Hope you enjoy!

Casting

Morgana Le Fay- Martina Erregue

It was rather odd arriving back in the land now called England after so long away. Whether it was in countries far afield, or the Otherworld, it’d been more than a millennia since...

Unintended Consequences- Part 6

AN: I tried not to get to the point where I had to share this, as I don't want my personal life to get in the way and tried not to let it, but here we are.

My father was scheduled for open heart surgery, that would've been tomorrow, had a bunch of appointments to get it all settled, then they had to cancel because a scan showed his lungs had sustained too much damage and they didn't think they could reinflate them if they went through with the procedure. They're now doing a different pr...

A couple representations of Rhaenyra

Hello everyone! So, I've been getting inundated with private messages, particularly on fanfic .net, offering to do digital art for my stories. I'm by no means an artist, and I have a great deal of respect for anybody with that talent. I'm well aware that in these situations, the people soliciting me are, almost certainly, making use of an AI, if somebody actually answers their solicitation.

Out of curiosity, I decided to prompt one of the AI models, and these were the two best results w...

Taming a Dragon- Part 10

AN: Casting-

Rhaenyra- Marie Wildes

The journey back from the Kingswood was decidedly less pleasant than the one to it. The clouds above them looked heavy, ready to pour on them at any moment. The sound of creaking wheels, not from the wheelhouse, but from the wagon that Harry conjured to carry the two dead guardsmen, served as a constant reminder of the previous night’s attack.

Harry didn’t ride beside Rhaenyra, instead he had only Ser Erryk for company. The princess ch...

The Benefits of Saving Veela- Chapter 51

Even in the steady patter of rain against the stands, the thud of the bludger smacking into Cedric’s shoulder could be heard by the crowd.

AN: Casting-

Daphne- Nicole Deliah

Ginny- Megan DeLuca

Even in the steady patter of rain against the stands, the thud of the bludger smacking into Cedric’s shoulder could be heard by the crowd. A collective, sympathetic flinch went through them at the sound. His arm hung limply at his side as he flew away from the main ...

Prompt Poll- 56

Hey everyone! Back with a new poll after 'Caught in the Act' won the last one.

As always, let me know if you have any questions in the comments or private messages and thanks for voting!

Caught in the Act- Part 2

AN: Normally, I would apologize for my absence, but all I can offer instead is an explanation. I still don't know what exactly caused it, but I was unable to access my account for roughly two weeks which is why I haven't been able to respond to any comments either. At first, I just assumed it was a server issue with patreon, but after the second day I contacted support. While it took longer than I would've liked, everything has been sorted.

All that being said, thanks for voting in the...

Scourge of the Heathen- Chapter 17

The low babbling of running water just reached him as he appeared on the bank of the Thames with London still visible in the distance.

AN: Casting-

Rowena- Anna Belik

The low babbling of running water just reached him as he appeared on the bank of the Thames with London still visible in the distance. Just as they planned, Salazar was waiting for him.

“So, how did it go?” He sat with his back against a tree, idly tossing a smooth stone between his hands.

“I ...

Taming a Dragon- Part 9

AN: Casting-

Rhaenyra- Marie Wildes

The fire licked at the air as they gazed up at the countless lights dotting the night sky. Soft harp music filled the air, played by one of Rhaenyra’s courtiers.  

Sitting together on the ground, close enough that their shoulders touched, Rhaenyra’s finger traced the lines between the stars, “That is the King’s Crown.” Harry followed as she pointed further to the north, “And just there is a blue star, it’s the eye of the...

Story Poll- 24

Not on Monday as planned, but back with another poll!

As always, let me know if you have any questions and thanks for voting!

The Benefits of Saving Veela- Chapter 50

AN: Casting-

Susan- Natalia Tihomirova

Orina- Hilde Osland

Professor Flitwick dropped to the ground in a heap as the sheer force of Harry’s spell sent him halfway across the room. His wand tumbled across the ground away from him but snapped to Harry’s hand with a simple summoning charm.

“Well done, Harry. Filius is truly a gifted duelist, and you adapted exceptionally.” Dumbledore complimented as he approached his unconscious colleague.

With a wave of his...

Not the Enemy- Part 2

AN: Hope you enjoy!

Casting-

Death- Yael Shelbia

Destiny- Tamara Huber

“You’re refusing?” Across from Shacklebolt, Harry lounged in a black leather chair. Despite his many interactions with previous Ministers for Magic, he realized this was the first time that he’d actually been in their office.

“Yes, that’s right. I appreciate the offer, really, but I’ve decided that the Auror life just isn’t for me.” After a year living on the run with his lif...

Unintended Consequences- Part 5

AN: Apologies, I was out of town most of last week and just couldn't find the time to write. I got back yesterday and have been back on it.

After a long hiatus on this one, I hope everyone enjoys! This one is on the romantic side of things rather than smutty, and sets up a few potential story threads.

Casting-

Apolline- Summer Soderstrom

Aurore- Natalya Krasavina

As he played with the collar of his shirt, a dainty hand stopped him, “Stop worrying, my love. I ...

Colliding Destinies- Part 3

AN: Thanks for voting. Hope you enjoy!

Casting-

Ciri- Laraajng

“You must be joking?” Harry stared at the headmaster, unable to believe what he just heard.

“I assure you, I’m not.” Dumbledore held his stare over the rim of his half-moon glasses. They sat together in his office after watching another meaningless memory about Tom Riddle’s life. This one, acquired from Professor Slughorn, at least told Harry exactly how his parents’ murderer survived all tho...

Story Poll- 23

Happy Monday everyone! Back with another poll. Two new options this time around after 'Lion for a Lion' one the last poll. 'Caught in the Act' is being added, and I'm also adding 'The Last Song'. I don't expect it to win, but it's another one of my stories out there with only one chapter and I figure it might as well have the opportunity too.

As always, thanks for voting and let me know if you have any questions.  

The Benefits of Saving Veela- Chapter 49

AN: This ended up being a much longer chapter than I anticipated which hopefully explains the slight delay. Hope you enjoy!

Casting

Orina- Hilde Osland

Ginny- Megan DeLuca

Fleur- Alla Bruletova

Sue Li- Park Da Hyun

Anya- Hannah Palmer

Susan- Natalia Tihomirova

Padma- Ketika Sharma

Daphne- Nicole Deliah

As sleep slowly gave way to consciousness, Harry became acutely aware of a weight pressing against his hips and the exquisite pleas...

Taming a Dragon- Part 8

AN: Hey everyone, happy Monday! As always hope you enjoy!

Casting-

Rhaenyra- Marie Wildes

“All the preparations have been made?” Harry asked as he sat behind his desk. The woman standing in front of him was called, Renna. No more than thirty years old, she was a rather short woman with a presence that far exceeded her stature. She held her weight well despite having two children of her own. Her dark brown hair was braided in a simple knot that hung down to the small of h...

The Benefits of Saving Veela- Chapter 48

AN:

Casting-

Orina- Hilde Osland

Anya- Hannah Palmer

“On time as always,” Dumbledore waited for Harry in the middle of the Room of Requirement as he closed the door behind him. With a flick of his wrist, his wand was in his hand, “Let’s begin.”

The first spell that came toward him was bright green, and eerily similar to the Killing Curse. Acting solely on instinct, he dodged out of the way for the spell to splash harmlessly against the stone walls be...

Continuation Poll- 12

Happy February everyone! One new choice this time around after 'Settling Debts' handedly won the last poll.

Let me know if you have any question in the comments or the direct messages.

A Lion for a Lion- Part 2 (REVISED)

AN: Given this is a revision, any feedback on this, whether it's just a like or if you have any thoughts you'd like to share, would be greatly appreciated.

For anyone wondering, the next new chapter is going to be TBOSV.

“What possessed you to go out into the woods at night with naught but two young girls to accompany you?” Tywin’s voice was hard as steel, his jaw firmly set. She’d seen her father angry before, it was tinged with grief after the death of her mother, but it...

Caught in the Act

AN: Thanks for voting in the last poll! This was one of those easy winners. Hope you enjoy!

A note about the last release, 'A Lion for a Lion- Part 2': I'm strongly considering rewriting the interactions during Harry's POV. After reading through the critiques, and then rereading the chapter with them in mind, I'm inclined to agree with the general sentiment that the current direction is misguided. Obviously, there's no guarantee that the story will ever see a continuation given it still...

A Lion for a Lion- Part 2

AN: As always, thanks for voting in the poll and I hope you enjoy!

“What possessed you to go out into the woods at night with naught but two young girls to accompany you?” Tywin’s voice was hard as steel, his jaw firmly set. She’d seen her father angry before, it was tinged with grief after the death of her mother, but it was rarely ever directed toward her. This was the version of her father that men feared, the one that at only twenty destroyed a rebellion. It was one thing to...

Scourge of the Heathen- Chapter 16

AN: Couldn't quite get around to the edit yesterday. Hope you enjoy!

Casting-

Rowena- Anna Belik

Salazar’s portkey brought them to London’s southern gate. It was a far cry from the London that Harry knew growing up.  A thousand-year difference will do that, I suppose. It would be centuries until the city became one of the largest in Western Europe.  

Until 886, during Alfred’s reign in Wessex, the old Roman city sat largely abandoned. The major...
