Name: Maeve

Age: 24

Gender: No thanks

I DO NOT SUPPORT J.K. Rowling. My transgender friends, wife, and family members are not predators or confused lesbians or men in dresses, they are human beings who require protection by the law because their lifespan - especially trans women and even more so, trans women of colour - is in their 30s. Trans women are women and trans men are men. Their existence is not a threat to women who are assigned female at birth. I am a survivor of domestic violence and sexual assault and I will never use that to marginalise and disenfranchise an already highly targeted minority. Also BLM and ACAB.

I'm a 24 year old from Australia who has begun writing fanfiction again after a 7 year accidental hiatus. I'm a Slytherin, and Leo, and red and green are equal parts my favourite colours. As you can imagine, Christmas is my favourite time of the year...

In my day to day life, I am studying politics, have a wife, a kidlet (and one on the way), and two cats. I enjoy Dramione, Sirmione, and Marauder Time Travel fics (specific, I know). I'm also completely obsessed with Regulus Black, there's a sad lack of fics involving him. However, this changes on a day-to-weekly basis, and my writing will probably reflect that, especially the stories I publish.

My favourite writers on are TheMourningMadam, CleoTheo, smallesttabbycat, A.Lovely.Villain and olivieblake. My favourites are hard won, so definitely check them out.

I read a lot of books, but my main fanfic focus is Harry Potter because it had such a huge impact on my childhood, and continues to in my adulthood. I will throwdown if you think Snape was a good guy, or that Draco Malfoy doesn't deserve redemption.

Please leave reviews to let me know you're reading my fics bc I need the validation!

Have you stopped writing X story? No! I'm still puttering away but I'm easily distracted and I find it hard to switch between my characterisations so I tend to only concentrate on one story at a time. Right now the Regulus bug has bitten me, so Silver Tongue, Golden Heart is the frequently updated one.

Current WIP

Silver Tongue, Golden Heart: Regulus Black is hauled from near certain death at the hands of the Dark Lord's Inferi by a tiny, very angry force of nature with wild hair and cinnamon eyes. "You're an idiot, Regulus Black," she huffed, "Imagine going after a soul container of one of the most powerful dark wizards to ever live, and not having a back up plan."

The Physician and The Fury - Book 1 of the Leaping Devil Chronicles: While Hermione studies to become a Healer under the watchful eye of clever but cold Tom Riddle, Harry, Ron & police sergeant Viktor Krum investigate an alarming string of Muggle murders that seem to be Dark magic. London keeps her secrets close but when this ragtag team join forces, specters in the dark will become illuminated. Magical AU.

On Hiatus

Once Bitten, Twice Shy: Dramione post-Hogwarts. A number of people are turning up dead and Hermione is brought on the case as a consultant. She can deal with the murders, that part is easy. Office politics and a budding romance with her childhood enemy? That's a bit trickier.

Let Sleeping Lions Lie: Sirimione time travel, in which Hermione travels to 1978 to infiltrate Voldemort's circles and take him down from the inside. Fighting a war isn't a whole lot of help, however, when it comes to wrangling with Sirius, Remus, and Regulus into her plans.

Upcoming

Kismet: Hermione is a time-poor journalist in New York City who makes a living out of writing a romance advice column – for which she is horrendously underqualified – and avoiding her mum’s attempts at matchmaking. Draco Malfoy takes an interest when they meet at a friend’s wedding, but Hermione, jaded and cynical, “doesn’t have time for that nonsense”. If Dramione was a Hollywood rom-com. Non-magical AU.
