PSA: HP ficsHello everyone! In March, I discovered to my dismay that skyehawke.com had closed...
Hello everyone!
In March, I discovered to my dismay that skyehawke.com had closed without warning and that I had lost all of my Harry Potter fics. I was upset, obviously. I had left the HP fandom many years ago, and had zero interest in promoting or discussing anything I had written, but I had always promised that I would leave my stories online and available, ideally all in one place. That place was skyehawke.com. When I re-joined fandom life in general after a lengthy hiatus, ao3 had sprung up and that’s where I started posting my Sherlock fics. People have asked me repeatedly about the possibility of moving my HP fics over there and I always said, quite firmly, absolutely not.
(Putting in a cut to spare your dashboards!)
Why not? Because it’s a lot of f-ing fic, for starters. My HP catalogue caps out in the 1.8 million word range, at something like 104 or 105 fics, some of which are quite short, but some of which are also QUITE long. The longest of the multi-chaptered stories is 36 chapters, for instance. Plus, as I said, I didn’t want to be drawing attention to them, getting comments on them, having to re-read them just to understand what the comment was even referring to (I wrote the majority of these around 2004-7), etc.
However, in my gratitude to the people who stepped up and within days restored my entire HP collection to me, I promised both on my old livejournal account and here that I would, once my then-current project was complete, begin the long, laborious process of transferring my HP catalogue to ao3 after all. I’m not going to lie: it’s a TREMENDOUS amount of work. Originally I had thought that I would take the opportunity to re-read the stories and edit out typos, manually re-format them, manually redo the html coding, etc, etc. However, I just can’t. It’s time-consuming enough just to upload all of the raw text, along with the fandom, pairing, rating, summary, etc, so that’s my warning: they are what they are. The earliest of these was written 17 years ago. If you’re a writer, imagine your writing from that long ago. I cringe at some of the pairings. But a promise is a promise, and I’m not someone who breaks my word.
So, long disclaimer aside, I’m here to announce that I’ve created a whole separate ao3 page. I was originally going to wait until I’d uploaded the full catalogue, but people have already noticed these stories popping up, so I thought I’d go ahead and share now. I’m adamant about not having these stories take up space in the very limit amount of time I have for fandom in general, and which I prefer to dedicate to Sherlock, hence the separate page.
Here it is: SilentAuror_HPworks. I started working on this the very day after I posted Nocturne (aka my latest project), as promised, and so far I’ve only uploaded 16 stories (although if you count individual chapters, that adds up to 125 individual uploads already). Every story comes with a posted note that I will not be answering comments. I did leave the comment field open, though, because I know that sometimes people really just want to comment. I’ll read the comment and appreciate the kudos and bookmarks. I just don’ t have the time to respond to comments on 105 stories in a fandom I don’t want to discuss anymore. I hope that feels fair? Either way, this is what I’ll be working on as my muses ponder my next Sherlock project. :)

Oh yeah, just come into my house and murder me, she said bitterly. I wasn’t doing anything. Don’t mind me.

This post Reichenbach au, coming home/reunion story is one of my absolute favorites. I’m re-reading it for the umphest time. The way it describes just how dangerous Sherlock’s life was when away, how anxious and scared and lonely he was. His first days back in London, trying to finish the mission. His first encounter with a John that has moved on—but not quite. The adventures they go through, and the feelings that re-surface, never really put away to begin with! I can’t put my thoughts in words well enough to honour the story and the extraordinarily talented author that brought this and so many other stories to fandom, @silentauroriamthereal .Thank you so much. This story is what S3 should have been! ❤️❤️
Omg wow! Thank you so much for this, @jobooksncoffee!!! Thank you for reading and talking about my baby! I’m beyond moved by what you’ve said about it! Technically (if you’ll permit me the quibble, haha!) this isn’t an AU; it was simply written before series 3 aired. As in RIGHT before. As in, I posted the final chapter two days before Many Happy Returns aired, lol! It’s only an AU if it diverges from the known canon deliberately, which I pride myself on never doing. 😁
I lived and breathed this story every single day for four straight months, literally writing it every day. Sherlock’s first person inner monologue, which forms the narrative, became my inner monologue. I was updating on average once every six days, and a couple of the chapters are over 10,000 words. This is also the story that convinced me to never again post a work-in-progress while still in progress, lol - the pressure is just so huge!! I’ve posted other stories in pieces before, but they’re always complete from the time I post the first chunk now. 😛 But yeah, at the time in the fandom, there were a lot of Reichenbach Return stories (some very good ones indeed!) that focused primarily on John’s experience of things, on John’s reaction and John’s pain, and I kept going, “Okay, but what about Sherlock? We all know he was blackmailed into this, right?? What about his side of things? What about his story of how these years went? What even happened to him?” So I decided to try to fill in that gap (as I saw it, at least) with answers of my own.
Anyway, I’m rambling! This is all just to say that this story, only the 8th in my catalogue of now 89 stories in this fandom (omg how did that even happen??), is still massively important to me. My original novel is based largely on this, with chunks of and diversions from Vena Cava, too. It absolutely makes my day whenever someone discovers it and decides to read it, and better still, likes it! Thank you so much for all of this! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Have you seen their little hands? Those motherfuckers would give me a great heart transplant for the low low cost of a cold pizza slice
you do realize where racoons’ little hands have been right
is that the…only reason you wouldn’t let a raccoon give you a heart transplant?
Come on! They are so well known for washing their hands that they’s called “washing bears” in German! You don’t have to worry about where their hands have been!
Well! you heard it folks, getting a heart transplant from a raccoon is perfectly safe!
where is the raccoon getting the heart
don’t worry about it

When you misjudge the distance from the edge of the glass to your mouth, then end up pouring a goodly amount of water directly down the silly onesie jumpsuit that you only wear when there’s no one around, or to the beach (same aesthetic??) and it pours straight down your body underneath, running down your legs (it’s a flowy jumpsuit!) and onto the floor, and all you can do is stand there and wonder what the hell is wrong with you and thank every deity there is that no one witnessed that… yep, I’m 41 and totally NAILING this!
