Author has written 29 stories for Harry Potter.

Hello there!

I'm Wren, and I've been on this site for, surprisingly, a couple of years now. I took a long break away and am only recently back and writing with a vengeance. I am a Harry Potter writer, so that's all that you'll find here.


A Note To Anyone Wondering Where I've Disappeared To

I absolutely loved being so active on this site for the last few months of 2016, but my life is moving on. I've been involved in the fanfiction community for years, and it keeps my love for Harry Potter alive. However, the time has come for me to dedicate less of my time to writing fanfiction and more of my time doing adult things and working on my original work. I enjoyed this community, but it left me with little time to work on my novel, which is simply unacceptable for me. To anyone concerned, I will continue to post chapters to 'How We Ended Up Here' until it's finished as well as continue to work on ideas for chaptered fics that I've had for years. All those fics that are in my poll will be written. I promise!

So what exactly does that mean? Basically, there will be a lot less one shots on here from now on and chaptered fics will continue to be posted and updated, but at a much slower rate. I won't be active on any forum, really, but my PM inbox is always open to those who want to contact me. :)


Cover-All Disclaimer

These stories are all inspired by JKR and her wonderful stories. I own nothing and make no money from this. I just can't leave the wizarding world behind yet.


If You're Looking For Something Of Mine To Read...

I keep track of my most popular fics to see what people enjoy most. As of August 2018, my top three favourited fics are:

1. Born To Fly

It seemed James knew he was meant to fly as soon as he left Ginny's womb.

2. Just The Girl

When Scorpius, Rose, and Albus go to Castelobruxo as part of an exchange program, Scorpius plans to finally convince Rose to fall for him. Unfortunately, he doesn't know the history between Granger girls and foreign wizards.

3. A Holiday

Ron makes an unexpected visit to Hogwarts to visit Hermione and give her a surprise gift.


Here's the place where I feature all the amazing fics written for me. Thank you to everyone who is listed here! :)

That Sounds Familiar...

In order to keep my sanity, all of my Missing Moments, Post-Hogwarts, and Next-Generation one-shots take place in the same canon-compliant 'universe'. There are, of course, some exceptions, but if you read a handful of my one-shots, you might notice the same minor characters floating through different stories or see an event from one story happening in the background of another. For anyone who's interested, here's the chronological order of all my connected fics:

Flying Lessons (1995) • Fireworks (1998) • Ash to Ash (1999) • A Holiday (1999) • Never Been More Right (1999) • Halloween 1999 (1999) • According to Plan (2000) • Christmas Pudding (2000) • Come Home (2001) • Born to Fly (2003-2004) • We'll Make A Memory (2018) • In Transit (2019-2020) • Long Enough (2021) • Just The Girl (2023) • Hands and Feet (2023)


Until again,

Wren
