My name is Envy, and once upon a time, I discovered MNFF, and fell in love. I read story after story, and decided that I had found my kind of people. I eventually persuaded myself to get an account, and start writing my own stories.
Things I enjoy: Music. A looooot of it. (I like everything, but mostly rock, metal, heavy rock, things of that nature), Glee (Hehe), reading, writing, and doing odd and whimsical things, such as making my own words :)
Dislikes: Broccoli, rap music (I can only tolerate so much of it), spiders, mean people
Pairings: I am a huge Dramione fan, so there will be some Draco and Hermione lovin :) I'm pretty canon-compliant, so I ship things like Harry/Ginny, although I write what comes to me, so sometimes, I will do non-canon pairings. Can't stomach them? I am sure there will be something for everyone, once I get things going. I like romance, too, so... yeah. Hehe.
Finally, I hope that you all enjoy! My goal is for my writing to be an experience: I want the readers to enjoy my work as much as possible. I want my characters to be real and my stories fantastic. I am totally open to criticism, so tell me what you love or what you hate, and I shall improve! I'm looking forward to hearing from some readers :)
Slaughter-Dew by Wings of the Morning
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 21]
Summary: 
The first time it happens, he is fourteen. Sitting at the Gryffindor table, Peter thinks of murder. (What's wrong with him?)
[Peter Pettigrew, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and the logic of fives. Dark, some disturbing imagery. One shot.]
Wow. Just... wow. I simply loved this. The way you captured the OCD and used it as a sort of crutch for his turn to the Death Eaters is phenomenal. I have OCD myself, and I completely understand the need to do things a certain way (although not as extreme), and it all makes perfect sense. This was very powerful, in a subtle way. Excellent job. This one is definitely going in my favorites :)
Petunia, Vernon and possibly a little Polyjuice Potion by the opaleye
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 4]
Summary: All Petunia Evans wants is to find a husband and settle down into her dream role as a suburban housewife. So when Lucinda Rubble brings her new beau, Vernon Dursley, back to the nurse dormitory one evening, Petunia knows he is the one.

This was a really sweet, cute story. I liked how it showed the softer side of Petunia; it sheds a different light on them, and it was cute :)
Author's Response: Thanks! Goodness, I haven't thought about this fic in a long time. It's nice that it's still enjoyed by some readers :)
All the Time in the World by ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 24]
Summary:
All Teddy Lupin had ever wanted was to be the kind of man his godfather was. He even followed in Harry's footsteps and became an Auror.
Harry wanted nothing more than to be the father that Teddy would never have, but work and obligations always seemed to get in the way. Before he knew it, Teddy was all grown up. How had he missed all those precious moments? He knew he had to make up for it somehow.
After all, they had all the time in the world, right?
This fic WON a 2011 Quicksilver Quill Award: Best Post-Hogwarts Story
This story was amazing. It brought tears to my eyes; the emotions were raw and powerful, and it was just... breath-taking.
Author's Response:
I'm glad you appreciated, as the word 'enjoy' seems rather inappropriate. It was a hard thing to write, but it was always a story I had planned to tell. Poor Teddy. :/

What Lies Behind by C_A_Campbell
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 28]
Summary: Winner of the 2011 QSQ Award for Best Dark/Angsty One-shot!
It is true what they say about your life flashing before your eyes just before you die. As Theodore Nott, Death Eater like his father before him, stands on the battlefield in what is surely Hogwarts and his final hours, he remembers all that lays behind him: his father, the Dark Lord, the one girl he ever loved, and the thing he has forced himself to forget.
But you remember, don't you, Theodore?
Please tell me you remember me.
This story... blew my mind. It was so beautiful, and it made my heart ache for poor Theo. I think he's a very interesting character to work with, because we know so little about him, and you took advantage of that. You took it and ran with it, and the result was mind-blowingly beautiful. The was it was written was excellent, and I cried at the end. It was just so powerful; it was breath-taking and brilliant. I loved every second of it. I really look forward to reading more from you :)

This was gorgeous! I loved the rhythm and flow of it, and the emotions were spot-on.

To put it simply, this piece was beautiful and inspiring, and I loved every line!
