I found out yesterday that

legionseagle died earlier this week and I am not ok.

Hers was the first full-length, well-plotted and amazingly written and characterized Harry Potter fanfic I ever read. I'm pretty sure I read it before I read Philosopher's Stone, and to me it's one of those fics which surpasses the source material (and already points out, even back then, that there's something morally and ethically wrong with the Potterverse).

I loved the way it combined the history of the Lancashire witches with Draco and Neville, and made Narcissa a character who was so much more interesting than she is in canon - the sly references to Narcissa being a much more politically savvy Potterverse version of Princess Diana weren't lost on me either.

Lust Over Pendle is a masterpiece. But it's not the only thing she wrote. She caught the c-drama and k-drama bug around the same time I did, and wrote some excellent stories therein: her AO3 site has these and more: AJ Hall AO3

I don't know what to say.
