I'm a fanfiction author, and I mostly write for Naruto. I use the same username everywhere I publish. You can find my work on AO3 and FFN.

Aconite, Chapter 5: The Wrong Bones

Slytherin. Slytherin. Slytherin. Sly— "I've been worn by a lot of Blacks." Unlike the shouting she'd heard the Hat do before, this was quiet. Not whispered, just pressed directly into her ear drums. "Most of them are nothing but Slytherin all the way down to their bones. But you? I don't think you have even a bit of snake skin."

Chapter 2: The Good Light - Monday

[jjgrace42]

Ah, a classic AO3 move to go down when I have 11 chapters to publish on my new schedule. Lovely.

[jjgrace42]

Schedule change

Guess who has been *~*sick*~*!

Anyway, my update schedule is changing because—between my ever failing health and my commitments—I can't consistently do weekly. SO. From now on, my updates will come on the first Monday of every month. It might be just one chapter or it might be many. I'll publish just whatever I have available at that time.

[jjgrace42]

I normally do my final revisions/edits on chapters the day I post them (since by that point it's usually been a few weeks, so I am looking at it with fresh eyes), but I simply haven't had the time for that today despite Monday being my weekly update time. Soooooo, between that and the semester starting again this week, I'm skipping my fic update this week. Schedule should resume as normal next Monday!

Aconite update

Chapter 4: Open Cage Door

"You're a firstie, yeah?" He grabbed the handrail and leaned out, catching up the handle of her trunk with his other hand. With a single grunt, he hauled it up and shuffled up the steps with her trunk thumping along the way. "Yes, sir, I am." He snapped a stare over to her and barked a laugh. "Merlin, I'm a fourth-year, not a professor. I don't look old, do I?" No, he looked just like a fourth-year, even if he was a bit tall for one. "No, sir. I'm sorry." He snorted. "You can stop calling me that. Name's Kingsley Shacklebolt. Got a compartment in mind?"

Chapter 3: Don't Speak

But the room was empty, and there was no Walburga and no Orion and no Regulus to stop her.

Chapter 2: Fair Share

P.S. I have written out and included a guide for when you are shopping in Diagon Alley. Please follow it closely since, if you're reading this, I will not be there with you.

Mayfly || In the Dead of Knight update

Chapter 14: Before Cracking

"Hey, Bumblebee, you're alright." She drew circles on his shoulder with her thumb. "You're safe. Promise. I'm here. Grumpy Goose is here too." Dick's breathing settled. He showed no sign of hearing her beyond that, and she shifted her arm over him to feel at his wrist. The monitors were there, but it wasn't the same as feeling his pulse herself. It was strong and steady, but his hand was so small in hers, and he was only twelve years old. She'd been small too when she was twelve, freshly abandoned and desperately wanting. "Stop taking him with you," she whispered.

Dude you've GOT to slow down and finish the fics u already have lmao (it's okay I'm reading all of them)

Can't stop, won't stop.

In all honesty, the new stuff getting posted doesn't mean I'm working on new things. The list of WIPs on my Tumblr/AO3 profile of ~16 stories is the average number of WIPs I'd had at any given time in the past year. I have a decent handful of finished chapters from said unpublished fics, so starting to post those gives me a bit more wiggle room for writing chapters with my current biweekly update schedule (which will probably go back down to just weekly when school starts up again).

Also, my brain refuses to stop and focus on only one or two stories at a time. I wish it would, but alas.

Aconite published

Chapter 1: A Touch of Ivory

Regulus had told her stories about all the professor at Hogwarts, and McGonagall was one he'd had mixed feelings about. At times, he'd resented her strictness—and what he called nosiness—but had also respected her skills as both a witch and a teacher. In that moment, holding that letter, McGonagall was Lyra's favorite person in the world.

DO NOT OPEN update

Chapter 2: To Establish Ties?

"What time is it?" she asked absently. He glanced at his watch. It was later than he'd thought. "Five seventeen." He shook the magic eight ball. "Do we need to leave?" Outlook not so good, the ball responded.
