The Man-Who-Conquered:

My first fanfic on this site! It is a Harry/Fleur ship, which I feel is one of the best pairings with a lot for a potential author to exploit. It is a good ship for romance, fluff and even naughty stuff (Hot Veela, enough said). It is even a good choice for soul bond or Veela bond or other bound relationships. But best of all, IMHO, it is a good base for a mature complicated relationship, usually built from their shared celebrity problems. This is the aspect I'll be using in this story, though it's not gonna be one where Harry and Fleur get together and more or less ignore their popularity. I have plans for my little star couple... MUHAHAHA! Ahem, that said, I'll try my best to develop most of the characters into something more mature and believable, including the Death Eaters, Order members and Dumbledore and Voldemort (two of the characters who offer the broadest limits to work with).

One thing i want to bait you, my readers, with: This is gonna be a story where Harry is neither useless, nor super-powered. He will be using every aspect of his character and image that he can to gain advantages against the dark side. Fights too will be realistic, meaning fast, a little bit chaotic and brutal. I plan to compensate with a lot more drama :P. Fleur will be a major character and not just a Mary Sue, but Ron and Hermione will be nearly as important. There will be no Horcruxes and no Hallows in this story, as I won't feel like a real author if I simply use all the plot devices of J.K. Rowling.

Update (as of 8th September 2014): I'm sorry to say that this fic has been put on indefinite hold. I have written a few scenes, but I didn't actually plan everything in advance so I am stuck on content. Maybe I will continue this someday, but please don't hold your breath.

Hope you all enjoyed reading it as much i did coming up with it.

The Breaking of Naruto:

A one-shot. Exactly what I wanted to write. Nothing more, nothing less. I realized, after getting stuck on 'The Man-Who-Conquered' that I need to write a few short stories before attempting a novel-length fic. I am happy to see that this, too, was a hit. Some of you have asked for a continuation, so I may be expanding it. But it'll be slow, due to the incessant demands of real life (man, that stuff is bothersome!).
