My Stories: If I do post it you can be sure I will have finished before I start posting because I know how horrible it is to start reading something only to find out the author hasn’t updated in forever and the story is most likely long forgotten. I’d hate to do that to fellow readers therefore I assure you it WILL be Completed or if it is a multi-chapter it WILL be COMPLETED though the update times might be wonky.

My Challenges: If you take a challenge please inform me when you have finished the story as a majority of the time I tend to ignore in-progress and find myself forgetting to check up on them when I try to read them.

My Favorites: is actually my To Read List. I may read or may end up deleting it so although stories are on My Favorites it does not mean I recommend them. That’s what my communities are used for aside from keeping a list of awesome fan fiction I will most likely reread again.

Communities:

The Author Challenger Muse Recommends Harry Potter

Completed stories I've read & recommend. Yaoi/Slash (mainly Harry/Voldie/Tom), some Yuri/Femslash (Hermione/Luna, Bellatrix/Hermione), Harry childfics, Snake Harry, The Founders, Azkaban, Time travel, Harry adopted/family stories, Independent/Manipulative/Smart/Dark/Creature/Lazy/Sarcastic Harry fics and more!

Crossovers

I Am More Than You Will Ever Be

Crossover:

The Hobbit/BBC Sherlock/Star Trek Into Darkness

Pairing:

Bilbo-John-(come up with a name)/Smaug-Sherlock-Khan

Prompt:

Khan has been around for a very long time. He has seen hobbits, elves, magic and dragons fall into myth. He has seen humans develop and advance technology. He has been captured and tortured, used as an experiment to help others genetically manipulate. Now he has been awoken to build weapons or see not only his family but the only one he has every loved in his lifetime be killed. The thief, the hobbit called Bilbo; the soldier, the doctor called John; the man who was threatened if he did not allow himself to be experimented on and that same man who he is now desperate to save.

Basically, the movie if Khan was Smaug/Sherlock in the past with Johnlock & Bilbo/Smaug

Requirements:

Smaug, Sherlock and Khan are all the same person/dragon.

Bilbo's reincarnation always finds Smaug/Sherlock/Khan somehow

Rogues and Reapers

Crossover:

BBC Sherlock/Dead Like Me

Pairing:

John/Sherlock

Prompt 1:

Sherlock has a secret he's kept from John. There's a reason he doesn't need sleep. Why he doesn't really bother to eat. He's dead. Has been dead for a while now. So jumping off a building so everyone would think he killed himself couldn't be more simple really. The only people who knew he hadn't really died were those like himself, a reaper, or part of his homeless network

Prompt 2:

There is no magic trick. Sherlock killed himself to save John. What he didn't expect was to become a reaper. New name, new body. He's never been one to play by the rules but these rules had consequences he couldn't escape. At least, not yet. Sherlock still takes care of Moriarty's network while trying to do his new job of collecting souls. Now that he's done with Moriarty's network, will he be able to get himself accepted as the new Consulting Detective? Will he be able to reestablish his friendship with John?

Requirements:

For those who haven't seen Dead Like Me, here's the jest of the rules

Reapers are given a new identity, body (only seen by non-reapers) and take people's souls through touch before they die so their death doesn't hurt and guide the souls to the light (which takes a form of whatever their type of paradise is). There are divisions of reapers for different types a death (plague, external causes, natural causes) and there are even reapers for pets. The leader of each division is given a list of who is to die and gives out post-its to each reaper in their division for that area. Each post-it had the time of death, place and first initial, last name. Gravelings are creatures who set the deaths in motion and keep the natural order in the world (they have a dark sense of humor). They do not talk. They don't communicate with reapers. If you try to stop someone's death there will be consequences (possibly more people will die) or the soul of the person you saved will die. Reapers are physically incapable of trying to reveal their identity to someone they knew while they were alive and any attempt to do so will result in the loss of a memory (but I think if the person figures it out on their own then it's safe to talk to them). Each reaper has a certain unknown number of souls to collect and when that number comes up they get to pass on and the last soul they reaped takes their place. Reapers do not get paid, they do not die but they can get injured although they heal quickly.

Suggestions:

Perhaps a number of people Sherlock works with are also reapers: Mycroft, Lestrade, Molly

Mycroft might make a good leader for the division with Lestrade as his second because they can't have anyone noticing a pattern with their division members taking a soul before that person dies.

Maybe Moriarty could be a rogue Reaper

Regina-Emma team up to help the ones being abused

Before the curse on Storybrooke was broken

Curse

Mind Reading

The price for the magic Regina used to kill Graham

I Hate Time Travel

Pairing:

Emma/Regina

Prompt:

It seems to me Snow spent a lot of time hiding from Regina after Graham failed to kill her when Regina probably could've easily found and killed Snow herself so I thought 'maybe something or someone stopped her.' The first time Regina met Emma was in the Enchanted Forest. The first time Emma met Regina was in Storybrooke. The Evil Queen is unexpectedly defended by a stranger with green eyes and blonde hair who has magic. Emma isn't only from another land though but another time.

Emma has to return to the present at some point

Swam Queen isn't established in Storybrooke until after Emma returns

The Evil Queen has some guy threatening to slit her throat (which is when Emma steps in) (something along these lines for when they meet)

Break This Curse

Pairing:

Emma/Regina

Prompt:

Regina wasn't prepared for her curse to be more of a curse for her than everyone else.

But she's unsure which one is the dream and which is reality. In one Henry brings his birth mother, Emma to Storybrooke but in the other one Henry fails to find his birth mother but is still distancing himself from her.

Requirements:

Regina's condition is a side effect of the curse somehow because Henry is trying to tell people the truth (just something along those lines)

Regina's curse is tied to the curse on the town however either Regina's curse is broken and thus everyone remembers or the town remembers but Regina's condition gets worse unless the curse on her is specifically broken

You Chose My Fate

Pairing:

Emma/Regina

Prompt:

She knew it was ridicules because Mary-Margaret was not her mother but the moment Henry had told her Snow White and Prince Charming put her in a wardrobe and shipped her off she couldn’t help but feel an underlying anger (or hatred) for her ‘fairytale’ parents. How could they abandon her alone to some land that had been described as a terrible place with no happy endings on the word of Rumplestilskin, a guy who could’ve obviously lied or mislead them out of revenge for his imprisonment?

Requirements:

Emma finds out about how the Blue Fairy and Gepeto lied so Pinocchio could escape and also blames them. She blames August for abandoning her after what must’ve been a short time since she had no memory of him before Storybrooke

Emma’s pre-Storybrooke life made her far less forgiving and less trusting of others

Regina discovers a kindred soul in Emma

Kirk has no idea of the truth. When Khan escapes and happens to murder Pike Marcus believes Kirk to be the perfect man to dispose of Khan as he believes Khan won't fight him.

Pairing:

Kirk/Khan

Requirements:

The Devil Wears Prada

Breaking Andy

Prompt:

Nate was losing her. He could’ve handled it simply being her job that was causing it because he knew it was just Andy’s nature to give her work 110%. But it wasn’t just her job, it was Miranda. He’d been beyond shocked the first time he heard her moaning that name in her sleep. After observing her he knew his girlfriend had no idea of her own feelings and decided he still had a chance. He’d stop this before it started. Maybe he’d even teach her to hate Miranda. He just had to be smart about it.

Hate is the Path to the Dark Side

Pairing:

Sparrow/Ni-Chang (white-haired witch/assassin)

The white-haired witch’s motives were never clear. Why did she want immortality? Although in real life a lot of people would want immortality in this universe the majority don’t seem to care either way if they have immortality or not so I figure it must be something big.

Prompt:

The witch-haired witch watched with great interest as a small sparrow grew into her hate, determined to get revenge on the Jade Warlord and secretly helped her along. Knowing her sparrow isn’t ready to face the Jade Warlord as she joins the Keeper on his journey Ni-Chang decides to acquire immortality for the girl so that she may have a second chance when she fails

Victorious

Natural Actors Wear a Mask at All Times

Prompt:

Jade is the tough girl and Tori is the nice girl but what if that wasn’t really them? What if the real Jade was more of a sensitive, kind of dependent and insecure, nice girl and the real Tori was actually the dominate, tough and protective type?

Requirements:

Jade and Tori only show their real selves to each other

Jade/Tori best friends or femslash

Prompt 2:

Cat isn’t as loony as she appears. She’s just a good actor.
