Before the Fairy God-Jarvey

How, precisely, does a Jarvey become a Fairy God-Jarvey? The answers are all here, from the origin of the name Regina P. Fletcher (including why it’s shortened to Reggie instead of Gina), to why Reggie speaks Spanish. Please note—in the time-honored tradition of stories involving animals, this contains a substantial share of sadness. But for those who’ve become fond of Reggie through ‘The Fairy God-Jarvey Chronicles,’ I hope it will be worthwhile to learn how one plucky little runt survived it all to become the Fairy God-Jarvey.

Mostly Harmless! Though I have to admit, I'm even stranger than I appear. ;-) There's a pile of unbeta'd stuff on my LJ (dracfic) if you're interested in Raw, Untamed, fanfic.
Believe it or not, "How Argus Filch Got Wild, Got Laid, and Got His Magic" has been rec'ed by Know It Alls! It's true! They gave me this pretty lil' ribbon and everything! And in March 2007, they saw fit to likewise reccommend (as an antidote to angst) the story that started it all, 'Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey'--just in time for the first anniversary of that story's posting! *hugs Harm*
(I also have to admit that 'mostly harmless' may not be the most apt description of a member of the Mad Chatters...)

Aww. That was heartbreaking. To have someone care for you so much and to be taken away from it. Gramma was mean...
Yet another wonderful chapter.

I know it's sad, but I doubt Gramma would have actually gone so far as to sell Reggie were she not already beginning to suffer the effects of the oncoming stroke. In her own strict and confused way, she thought she was doing the best thing for her grandson. That's why Reggie forgave her.Thank you very kindly for the review!
Am I crying? Most definitely. But am I absolutely loving this story Another resounding yes. That was one of the most heart-breaking chapters that I have ever read--and one of the best. As a fellow saxophonist, I absolutely loved Toussaint. Amazing. That was beautiful.

Thank you very much. I sort of fell in love with Tousaint, just like I did with Reggie. Although whereas she popped into my head one day and cheekily demanded a story, he fell into step quietly beside me while I was taking a walk, and began to play. :)
Just fantastic!

Thank you kindly!
Oh, how heartbreaking! I would like to hope that Reggie made it back to Toussaint, but I really doubt she did.

Well, you know Reggie--at the very least, she's going to give it one heck of a good try. Thank you for the review--chapter 3 is coming soon!
