A series of fan fictions currently on the fourth book out of seven that is set in the HarryPotter universe, but otherwise is almost completely unrelated otherwise. It follows the story of Alexandra Quick, a young witch who much like Potter, was raised as a Muggle in the United States and much like Harry, she is whisked away to Charmbridge Academy at age eleven to learn how to control her magical talents. Unlike Harry, she has a fascination with Dark Magic and is generally ostracized by her peers for it. Worse yet someone appears to be trying to kill her...

* FantasticRacism: Much like the stories they are based on, wizards in the AQ-universe tend to look down on Muggles, Muggle-borns, House-Elves and non-humans. They are, however, genuinely shocked, appalled and/or when David and Alex try to explain mundane racism and sexism to them.

The series is notable for being DarkerandEdgier while still managing to capture the same feeling as Harry Potter, as well exploring magic beyond that the students are taught in schools. With one of the most realistic and coherent portrayals of Magical America, Alexandra Quick is a lot more than fanfiction, it's closer to the StarWars novels set in earlier eras with less Lucas guidance.

Titles in the series are Alexandra Quick and ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3964606/1/Alexandra_Quick_and_the_Thorn_Circle the Thorn Circle]]'', ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4684861/1/Alexandra_Quick_and_the_Lands_Below the Lands Below]]'', ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5784632/1/Alexandra_Quick_and_the_Deathly_Regiment the Deathly Regiment]]'' and [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7689884/1/ the Stars Above]]
!!Tropes in this series include:
* BlackandGreyMorality: Present since the start, but it really comes to the forefront from the climax of Deathly Regiment onwards.
* FantasticRacism: Much like the stories they are based on, wizards in the AQ-universe tend to look down on Muggles, Muggle-borns, House-Elves and non-humans. They are, however, genuinely shocked, appalled and/or when David and Alex try to explain mundane racism and sexism to them.
* HolyShitQuotient: The entire series is good at this, but the Stars Above in particular seems to be fueled by unleaded HSQ.
* IncrediblyLamePun: Trollbooths
* WellIntentionedExtremist: This is Abraham Thorn's entire shtick. Needless to say, he does not like the way things are run in the Confederacy and he does not pull his punches.
