Hi!

Basically, I'm:

-female.
-in my twenties.
-generally quiet.
-a student.
-a writer with two current WiP's.
-interested in seeing how much angst I can write without its becoming melodrama, and how much romance I can write without its becoming sappy.
-American, so, though I try to use British vocabulary wherever possible, my spellings are not British (there's no way I'd catch them all).
-working without a beta, currently, though I have beta'd for some friends in the past.

More specific information can be found in my story posts or my profile.

Building With Worn-Out Tools, Chapter One

Title: Building With Worn-Out Tools

Summary: Right smack in the middle of a stormy divorce from Ginny, Harry has no reason to be attracted to his Arguer, Draco Malfoy. I mean, it’s Malfoy.

 
Warnings: HBP spoilers, angst, slash, het, sexual content, adult language, some violence, WIP, and likely some OOC-ness on Ginny's part.

Pairings: Draco/Harry, Ron/Hermione, Blaise/Ginny, mentions of past Harry/Ginny

Author’s Notes: This story will probably be updated a few times a week. I do have some chapters currently written, but they need to be edited before they're ready to post here.

 
The title comes from Rudyard Kipling’s poem “If”:

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools…

A Year's Temptation, Chapter One-January

Title: A Year’s Temptation

Disclaimer: The characters and settings in this story do not belong to me. J. K. Rowling and associates own them. Nor am I making money with this story.

Summary: Draco isn’t best pleased to discover he’s a Veela at twenty-four…especially since both he and his mate, Harry Potter, are married. Harry suggests a compromise that may work, if everyone agrees. But the compromise is fragile, and stands a distinct chance of only making everything worse than before.

Warnings: sex (both het and slash), language, some violence, spoilers for Half-Blood Prince, WIP.

Pairings: Draco/Harry, Harry/Ginny, Draco/Pansy.

Notes: Yes, I’m currently writing another Work-in-progress, but this is different from ‘Building With Worn-Out Tools’ in that it has a defined length—twelve chapters. I plan on working on them both at the same time.

It also, inevitably, resembles other Veela stories. Most of the differences should be made clear in the first chapter, though.
