Hi there!

I'm Cyp and I'm a very proud Hufflepuff.

I've written several short stories all set in the Harry Potter universe. Most of them revolve around Severus Snape and Lily Evans, but some others are also about Nearly-Headless Nick, Helga Hufflepuff, The Longbottoms, Hagrid and the trio, and Sirius Black.
The longest fanfic I've written at over 500k is Severus Snape and the Art of War, which was completed on the 22nd of December, 2019. I never write stories that contain bashing of any kind. I love all characters with all their flaws.

I decided to start sharing my stories on AO3 as well. You can find me there under the same username: CypressWand

A very special shout-out to MournfulSeverity for helping me to get Severus Snape and Art of War back on track! She, too, writes Snape related stories.
VanillaAshes has written a cute Snily giftfic for me. You can find it here: A Day in the Life of

I've taken on a new challenge to write a Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings cross-over. It will revolve around Lily and Severus who discover the Fourth and lost Ring of Celebrimbor, who forged the three Rings of Power for the Elves. The ring takes them to Middle-earth, where they must find each other while reinventing themselves in a foreign place.
