    Summary

    Some scenes from an alternate version of Disney's Aladdin.

    What if people were good at wishing? The Genie's rules have holes you could drive a herd of camels through, but they don't have to. Aladdin and Jafar's wishes are shallow and limited, and lack the foresight that really effective wishing entails, but wouldn't a battle between effective wishers be much more interesting? And while we're at it, why does Jasmine have so little agency and basically act as a prize to be won in a battle between two men when literally the entire point of her narrative is that she's not that?

    Not exactly a complete fanfic, but enough of one that if you've seen the movie you can probably fill in the gaps yourself.

    Contains normative advice on the use and binding of Genies.

    Summary

    Harry had never had friends, so he imagined one: a red-haired girl he kept forgetting to name. Ginny imagined a shy boy with untidy hair and bright eyes, a boy who knew nothing of magic, so she told him. He dreamt of a world of magic and of a girl who wanted to be his friend. She dreamt of a boy who loved to hear her voice, no matter what. Then dreams became a reality when Harry met Ginny.

    (on indefinite hiatus.)

    Summary

    This is the catch-all title for all of my stories, a collection of short stories, novelettes, novellas and novels. Most are set in the nineteen years between the Battle and the epilogue, all are canon compliant.

    Every story in this series stands alone, and can be read as an individual tale. Together they form a future history for Harry and his friends. The numbering system simply gives readers some idea of where they are in the timeline.

    Summary

    sleeper
    (noun)
    1. one that sleeps
    2. a person or thing that achieves unexpected success after an initial period of obscurity
    3. a spy planted in advance for future use, but not currently active

    When he sleeps, Harry dreams of another world - one that is both like his own and not, where the dead are alive, where history took a different course, and where Harry has friends in strange places.

    But where are the dreams coming from, and what purpose do they serve? Is the world they show Harry really a figment of his imagination? Can he stop the dreams - and does he really want to?
