Author has written 24 stories for Ranger's Apprentice, Sherlock, Brotherband Chronicles, Harry Potter, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and Star Wars.

Quick Note: I've moved all my work over to AO3 (Archive Of Our Own), where I continue to write. You can find me over there as Dorano1 also!


Hello! I'm Dorano. I write for a variety of different fandoms, but mostly Ranger's Apprentice/Brotherband Chronicles. There's a few stories from other fandoms here too, mind you, but those are my favorite. I do write a lot of AU fics, mostly one-shots, but I try to make the longer stories as canon-compliant as possible.

I've listed my stories below, sorted by fandom and place in the timeline. Hope you enjoy! Everything is cross-posted to my Ao3 account, under the same name.

He was married, widowed, then marries again years later. Baron Arald - Baron of Redmont Fief, ally to the Crown, and resident peacock. He's married to the Lady Sandra. This is all we know of them - but there is so much more to tell. (Ongoing)
  2. Demons - In the dark of night, he wondered.
  3. Ranger's Apprentice Cast Reacts! - Will and friends read and react to the Ranger's Apprentice series (but not book 12). (Ongoing)
