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.


If you read any of my stories and enjoy them, please leave a like on the chapter(s) you enjoy and if you're a fan of my writing or one of WIPs please click the button to favorite for updates!
