Continuation Poll- 8

Hello, time for another poll. There are two new options this time around, 'Pleasant Encounters' is back in here and 'Exclusive Rights' is in after winning the 'Story Poll'.

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

Exclusive Rights- Part 2

AN: Thanks for voting as always. Hope you enjoy.

Casting-

Luna- Eve Mikulski

Wiping the sleep from his eyes, Harry instinctively closed them again as the morning sun hit him. His head throbbed and he felt like death warmed over. Since the end of the war, this hadn’t been an uncommon occurrence.

With every memorial and ceremony to honor those who died and those who fought, firewhiskey had become an ever-closer companion. He knew it wasn’t healthy, and he knew that...

Prompt Poll- 52

Happy Monday! Hope everyone is doing well. Back to a prompt poll, which I think it's only fair I no longer call weekly considering the 'story' and 'continuation' polls happen just as often. One new option this go around after 'A Lion for a Lion' won last time around.

Thanks for voting and let me know if you have any questions.

An Obligatory Marriage Law- Part 3

AN: Sorry for the delay for this. My mom has been in the hospital the last couple days, not nearly as bad as my dad in March, but it was unexpected and has taken most of my focus. That being said, I got this done.

I feel this is the last chapter of this story, so I really hope you enjoy.

Casting-

Daphne- Nicole Deliah

“Right, thank you for coming, it does mean the world to us, but I really do have to be going.” It was the same disingenuous platitude that he’d ...

Taming a Dragon- Part 4

AN: I hope you enjoy!

Casting-

Rhaenyra- Marie Wildes

The face etched into the weirwood tree seemed as though it were truly alive, as though there were someone watching him. It’s blood-red sap leaked from the eyes down to its very roots. Harry breathed deeply and he could feel the magic in his lungs, faint but there all the same.

He reached out to touch the pale white wood, and felt a slight tingling beneath his fingers, but nothing more. He was so lost in his own r...

Story Poll- 18

Happy Monday everyone! This is getting out a little bit later today because I wanted to finish the new chapter of 'Taming a Dragon' first. One new option this month after 'Close Encounters' won the last one.

I've seen the people requesting multiple choices on the larger polls and this will be a trial run on it. Higher tier patrons who get more votes applied at the end of the polls by me, still get the same just applied to each of their choices rather than one. As of now, my main conce...

A Lion for a Lion

AN: Thanks for voting in the poll, and I hope you enjoy!

Pacing was the only thing keeping his mind off the task to come. He knew that he was about to stand in front of a dragon and that there was no avoiding it. Well, I could simply leave and forfeit my magic, but that doesn’t seem like a good option either.

That wasn’t to say that he hadn’t considered it at least once or twice, but the only friends and family, the only home, that he’d ever known was in the magic...

Continuation Poll- 7

Hey everyone, back with another poll! One new option this time around after 'Taming a Dragon' won last month.

You can expect the first chapter of 'A Lion for a Lion' by tomorrow, and a new chapter of 'Taming a Dragon' by Friday.

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

Close Encounter- Part 2 (HP/DC)

AN: Thanks for your patience with this poll winner. I didn't want to add another one to the list this week when I had two to get to already. As always, I hope you enjoy!

Casting

Kara- Allie Dunn

Sitting on the couch in the apartment that had become his little headquarters since arriving in the states, Harry was idly rifling through some papers on the coffee table as the TV droned in the background. The papers amounted to every shred of information he was able to acquire on o...

The Benefits of Saving Veela- Chapter 43

AN: This was quite honestly the most frustrating chapter I've ever written of anything. I completely erased 90% of the chapter and basically started from scratch, and I'm still not sure if I'm fully satisfied with the end result, but here it is all the same.

Good news is, I don't think there will ever be another delay this long between chapters.

“One more time.” Hermione was sitting across from him as he ate his breakfast, waiting expectantly for him to repeat the clue that ...

Scourge of the Heathen- Chapter 13

AN: Hope you enjoy!

Casting-

Rowena- Anna Belik

The walls surrounding Perth were some thirty feet high and made of pointed timber. The southern gate of the city was two great double doors, banded in iron. The city itself was situated on a hill that kept the residence safe from spring flooding on the River Tay.

After another day of marching, their army was situated outside of the city to the south, staring at that same gate. They’d passed half a dozen villages along t...

Weekly Prompt Poll- 51

Happy Monday! Hope everyone is doing well. One new option this week after 'Crime and Punishment' finally got itself a win!

Thanks for voting and let me know if you have any questions.

Clever Snakes- Part 5

AN: At least for now, this is going to be the final part of this story. I hope you enjoy!

Casting-

Tracey- Shaelah McGilton

Daphne- Nicole Deliah

Harry stepped out of the floo flames and looked around. There was a soft pop beside him and he found himself looking at the Davis family house elf, Mitty. They’d met before, the previous summer when he and the girls had spent time together. But it was the first time since they’d gotten back from their fourth year that he...

Story Poll- 17

Happy July! Hope all is well for everyone! Time for another poll!

Just to let everyone know, you can expect a new, and likely final, chapter of Clever Snakes by Wednesday. As always, thanks for voting and let me know if you have any questions.

Taming a Dragon- Part 3

AN: Three wins in the polls in one month, I think this is only the second time that a story has managed that. As always, I hope you enjoy and thanks for reading!

Casting-

Rhaenyra- Marie Wildes

The food was exquisite, as good as anything he’d had at Hogwarts in his many years in the castle. Though there was far more of it than Harry thought was perfectly necessary. Snapper, followed by venison, followed by boar, followed by desserts. There were lemon cookies, and somethin...

Crime and Punishment

AN: After ages, it finally won! I can't remember if this is even the original idea that I had for the prompt haha

But seriously, I didn't know if this was ever going to make it out of the poll. It had to be in there for at least twenty iterations. So, for those who loyally kept it alive, here it is!

Casting-

Pansy- Miss Bo

There was laughter and snickering as she went tumbling to the ground. Pansy did her best to keep her head down and ignore the seemingly constant str...

Continuation Poll- 6

Happy Monday! Two new options this time around. I'm not adding Clever Snakes because there's only one more chapter that I have in mind, and I'm not going to put it through the poll for it to reach its conclusion.

If you have any questions, let me know in the comments or messages and thanks for voting!

Taming a Dragon- Part 2

AN: Sorry for the wait, life just got in the way last week. Hope you enjoy!

Casting-

Rhaenyra- Marie Wildes

Sitting behind a desk covered in parchments, each with a seal of a different color with a different insignia stamped into the wax, Harry could feel himself fighting off a migraine.

He’d spent years waging a war, accidentally if he was being perfectly honest, and he’d go back to the threat of death and bloodshed if it meant an end to the ceaseless invitations,...

Weekly Prompt Poll- 50

Happy Monday! One new option this time around.

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

Scourge of the Heathen- Chapter 12

AN: Casting-

Rowena- Anna Belik

They marched in lines of four all the way from the front of the column to the back. Harry was at the front with Ragnall on one side and Gamelin on the other. Rowena was at the back with Heiddi and Torgils. They bookended the line just in case of an attack, particularly of the magical variety.

The army had been marching since dawn and the sun was only just burning off the last of the morning dew as it made its way higher into the sky. They coul...

Story Poll- 16

Happy Monday! Back with another poll!

Thanks for voting and let me know if you have any questions!

Taming A Dragon

AN: There was no new poll this week because I wanted to get fully caught up and have a bit of a clean slate. That being said, here's the most recent winner and I hope you enjoy.

Casting- I'm basing this more around the Fire and Blood depiction of the dance than the show. As always, if you prefer to imagine the people cast in the show, it's completely understandable.

Rhaenyra- Marie Wildes

Walking toward your own death was a surreal experience, but somehow, Harry managed t...

Clever Snakes- Part 4

AN: This took longer than I was expecting, but I'm still trying to work back into my rhythm with everything. I am happy with how it turned out in the end, and I hope you enjoy.

Casting-

Tracey- Shaelah McGilton

Daphne- Nicole Deliah

“I really don’t see the appeal.” Daphne said as she dotted the last line of her most recent transfiguration assignment. “They claim that the winner will get ‘eternal glory’, but I doubt there’s a single person from any of the ...

Weekly Prompt Poll- 49

Happy Monday! Time for a new poll! I'd forgive you if you forgot that the last winner was 'Taking Her Seriously' and so there's only one new option this time around.

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

Colliding Destinies- Part 2 (HP/The Witcher)

AN: I'm back! Thank you for the patience and support over the last month. Things have settled down, and I'm able to focus on writing again.

You can expect a new chapter of Clever Snakes next, and a new poll on Monday.

Hope you enjoy!

Casting-

Ciri- Laraajng

Harry watched the scene in front of him dispassionately. It was difficult not to roll his eyes as a young Tom Riddle jumped on the bed as a fire erupted in his wardrobe. His stolen trinkets, from the children...

Another Update

Things haven't quite gone to plan. The rare occasions when I've had the time to write the last week, I simply don't have the focus or energy to think about creating a story. My father is scheduled to leave the hospital tomorrow, but he still has a good deal of recovery ahead. With that in mind, I intend to pause all payments for the month of April. It only seems right given my inconsistency, and inability to get chapters published. I can't in good conscience have any of you wonderful patrons ...

A Quick Update

First, an apology for the lack of updates this week. My father went to the emergency room on Monday morning and has been in the hospital since. Additionally, my parents got a new puppy, the day before my father went into hospital, and taking care of her has been time consuming. As a result, writing hasn't been on the forefront of my mind.

My intention is to begin writing again starting tomorrow, 'Colliding Destinies' is the first thing on the list, and I hope to have it finished by Mo...

Continuation Poll- 5

Hello everyone! Back with another poll!

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

Taking Her Seriously

AN: I was out of town working, or really gigging, in Michigan this week from Saturday until Tuesday so, between travel and everything else, time to write was hard to come by. I really appreciate the patience in this busy time of year for me. 

This is one of those chapters that I just couldn't see a way of including any smut, but people have told me plenty of times that it doesn't always need it. I think it sets up things to come really well though, and I hope you enjoy. 

Scourge of the Heathen- Chapter 11

AN: As always, I really hope you enjoy. 

Casting-

Rowena- Anna Belik 

The crisp air of the spring sea washed over his face as the ship cut through the water. The sea and the winds were kind to them, and they were making quick progress along the eastern shore of the island because of it.

Leaning over the side, Harry watched the Scottish coast pass them by as the winds pushed them along. Rowena was by his side, deep in contemplation, just as she had been since ...
