Bio:

TIDALDRAGON.


Howdy! I'm Kevin, a proud Gryfflepuff and OG staffer (retired) and member of HPFT. I'm a writer of all things Harry Potter running the gamut of immediate post-Founders fics through Next-Gen and angst to fluff (but mostly angst) with a couple of murder mysteries tossed in for fun. You'll find that I'm also a passionate author of and advocate for SeekerBell™ (Harry Potter/Katie Bell).


And...I also write pokefics. They're largely post-series XY/Z, though there's a little that's post-series Sun & Moon. Currently it's all Amourshipping, but I also write Aloha (Ash/Mallow) and KalosKing (Ash/Aria) - and let's be real, I'll probably write a bunch of other ships because pokepeople are like...the most shippable fake humans ever.

Many stories list the characters in the Pokemon series's as being 'aged-up'. I do this as well for safety's sake, but this is my personal analysis of why that isn't really necessary in XY/Z and Sun & Moon.

Evolution

Splendid banner by elenia @ TDA.

 

From virtually the moment they met, James Potter and Lily Evans were at odds. He was a hex-happy prankster with talent comparable only to his loyalty and arrogance. She was a clever student with a kind heart, but little patience for rule-breaking. This is the story of how two apparent opposites came to realize they were, in reality, a perfect fit.
