This list has been superseded by
this new bare-bones page
containing the most up-to-date list of fics and their descriptions. Please see that page.

Please refer to this consistently updated page.
Here is a “bare bones” list of my stories, with links to them on The Petulant Poetess, and fanfiction.net when they are available on ffnet. I stripped out the graphics and some of the blather. 😉
Just a little blather: DH is either disregarded or irrelevant (or twisted around!) for all my fics, particularly those in the Resolving a Misunderstanding universe, which came into being before DH was published. I try to be fairly canon compliant at least through OotP, though — and partially through HBP, at least conceptually, if not in the details. Also, because I started writing Albus Dumbledore as a character in Resolving a Misunderstanding before JKR switched his age from “around 150” to a few decades younger, RaMverse!Albus was born in 1840.
To see the banners for the stories and the extended descriptions, go to this blog entry for all my fics.
~*~*~*~*~*~
The stories set in the same fanfic universe as Resolving a Misunderstanding are all listed together here, in more-or-less chronological order.
Most of the RaMverse fics can be enjoyed as “stand alone” fics without having first read any of the others. I do strongly recommend, however, that if you read A Long Vernal Season, you read Death’s Dominion first, since A Long Vernal Season is a genuine sequel to Death’s Dominion and it contains spoilers for Death’s Dominion. Also, a good many things in A Long Vernal Season will not make sense without having first read Death’s Dominion.
Go to the post “Where to begin” for a recommended reading order for the Resolving a Misunderstanding series of fics.

*GENERAL DISCLAIMER*
As I assume everyone who is able to read knows, Harry Potter and the Harry Potter universe and its characters belong entirely to J.K. Rowling and those with whom she has contracts assigning certain of her copyrights (e.g., Warner Bros.). This fanfiction is intended as personal entertainment and as a humble homage to JKR’s wonderful fictional universe. It is not intended to infringe on her copyright in any way, but is intended to promote the continued reading and enjoyment of her books. I make no profit from this and strongly doubt my story has the power to divert any profit from JKR.
Please do not take any of my stories as an infallible source for information about the real world, whether scientific, cultural, social, literary, veterinary, geographic or otherwise. I strive for verisimilitude, and borrow heavily from the real world, including from world history, literary history, science, nature, and world culture, but verisimilitude is different from strict accuracy. (Some folk I have found to be either very literal or rather naive.) Obviously, the Harry-Potter magical universe comes from JKR’s series, though I’ve added people, places, things, and concepts of my own — that’s what makes it fanfiction! 🙂 I hope you enjoy the stories!
Some of my fics are also posted on Sycophant Hex Lumos and Occlumency.
