24 year old who should probably be spending less time on D/G and more time on finishing her B.A. but hey, you all know what that's like, right?

I'm currently working on a D/G story I started ages ago based on Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice.

The Wedding Night of Draco and Astoria Malfoy by Anise    (Reviews - 38)

Draco married Astoria, but on their wedding night at the Malfoys’ private island off the coast of the South of France, he dreams only of Ginny. How much fun will that honeymoon be? Don’t freak out! It’s all going to be okay. Take deep breaths… oh, just read it. ;) A three-shot companion piece to Draco’s Dangerous Dilemma, it takes place during the events of Chapter 26.

From Chapter Three:

“You simply don’t understand,” Draco told Ginny. “And you might be a bit more appreciative of the fact that I made that sacrifice for you. I can assure you that seeing Astoria in a white dress and not bursting into laughter immediately was a sacrifice indeed. Then, when I was forced to share air space with that skinny slag in her lingerie-- ouch! What did you do that for?” He snatched his hand back. She’d scratched her nails down his skin.

“You seeing Astoria in lingerie,” Ginny said passionately. “That’s why.”

“It’s not as if I liked it!” Draco shuddered.

In response to your response to my review:

Like I said, I trust that you're going to carry out a treatment plan for Draco that will be believable. I've stopped writing my fic for a while because I really have to get into Draco's psyche to write him properly (he's Darcy from Pride and Prejudice, in my fic, but obviously much more complicated) and I just haven't had time to delve properly into it.

RESPECT to you for your work here!

Argh! I have to run in the middle of reading so I'm leaving a review for part of the chapter, and will review more later...

Ah Loki. I've been expecting you. It funny to see Draco begging him for information when it's usually Ginny doing the begging. I rather like this turnaround. Making Draco beg.

Punish him, Loki!

BP stock - hhahaha!

Author's Response: Loki's job is pretty much to drive mortals crazy, and he'll get his chance in this fic. ;)

Since the crate opened for Ginny, when Draco believes that it would only open for Marie, that seems to indicate that Ginny is Marie. But that doesn't make sense to me, so I think I've missed something here.

Though it would be some lovely poetic justice if Marie turned out to be an older Ginny wanting to get revenge on Draco for hurting her when she was younger - so she goes back in time and breaks his heart.

Author's Response: Well, to be completely accurate... it doesn't actually SAY that Draco thought it would only open for Marie, but that it could only open for one reason, and that he believed it could never open again. ;) But I'm not admitting anything either way, of course. I don't think anybody is going to guess exactly how the whole Marie thing plays out.

Still Here by antidote    (Reviews - 3)

He wanted to take her to Paris. Merlin, he wanted to take her anywhere, so that the anticipation would disappear, and he might stop feeling as though he were driving a large knife slowly into her back. He was scared more of what would happen if she knew - whether she'd leave and he'd lose the person he considered his only equal or whether she'd stay, her face swollen and weary for the rest of her days.

I don't really follow what Draco's job was and what it had to do with Bill. And I don't really understand the relationship between them, aside from the fact that Draco is obviously lonely and damaged and Ginny seems to be a help for him.

Author's Response: You're right, it is a bit difficult to understand without some sort of backdrop of information. I've put up the prompt that this was written for, and hopefully that might clear up some of the confusion.

You and Me by BlackRaven    (Reviews - 24)

She was tired. Tired of hurting. Tired of trying to move on. Tired of wondering why. He was scared. Scared of the future. Scared of his past. Scared of forgetting. Mostly, they were lonely. Sequel to both "You Bring Me Closer to God" and "Reach Out and Touch Faith."

Yeah, atone for breaking Ginny's heart! Ugh. Self-righteous bastard...

Redheads actually look fabulous in purple. Well, depending on the shade, of course, but dark purple looks great on us. :) I wore a dark purple gown to my brother's wedding two years ago and got LOADS of compliments on the color.

I'm enjoying your characterization of Katie. And Myrtle. It's always interesting to see authors' perspectives on existing characters.

Author's Response: I like playing around with background characters and fitting things into canon. I think this is the fourth or fifth time I've "rewritten" DH with Katie and Marcus. Those didn't have much D/G tho, so they're not on this archive. In this story, it starts a little slow, but they have equal face time, so to speak. :)

Reviewer: GoldenFawkes Signed
Date: Jul 21, 2010 Title: Chapter 3: Knowing The Name Of Things

Awesome scene there in the Chamber. I absolutely love it.

Author's Response: Thank you! JK never really deals with the ramifications of ANY of the traumatic things she sets up the characters for. (Other than capslock!Harry in OOTP, but I hated that anyway...) That gives me a lot of room to play with in fic, and I really wanted Ginny to get a sense of closure with her possession so she can move on. It also serves as a way for her to bond with Draco, because it is such a difficult piece of history between them, even if Draco wasn't actively involved.

Reviewer: GoldenFawkes Signed
Date: Aug 04, 2010 Title: Chapter 6: Broken Images

I'm a little confused about where Draco is.

Author's Response: when he first shows up in the chapter, he's spending time with the other Death Eaters he knows when Marcus shows up and smashes Crabbe in the face. At the end, he's at Malfoy Manor. This chapter takes place roughly at hols, so it's around the time the Trio get caught and dragged to Malfoy Manor in DH.

Christmas in Hell by dykeadellic    (Reviews - 95)

When Lord Voldemort gives an order, no one dares defy him. So when he orders Draco to reform one of the biggest blood traitors, Draco has no choice but to follow through, even if it means risking his heart in the process.

Date: Jul 30, 2010 Title: Chapter 2: Malfoy Manor & the Meeting of Kora

I tend to dislike when characters I don't know are introduced, but I think I like Kora.

Author's Response: Kora has an entire back story of her own. She has real depth to her. And she did an unspeakable thing. *hint hint* so she is by no means a perfect character. I'm glad you like her.

Reviewer: GoldenFawkes Signed
Date: Jun 30, 2011 Title: Chapter 3: Runnin' Up That Hill

I'm very confused about why Draco would feel loyalty to Voldemort when he clearly doesn't give a shit about Draco.

Author's Response: I'd like to point out that Voldemort cares about no one, yet all his Death Eaters love him. Lucius Malfoy loved him until his family fell from his good grace. In this story, that never happened. Therefore, Draco still feels like he's the best.

Reviewer: GoldenFawkes Signed
Date: Jun 30, 2011 Title: Chapter 4: Crawling in My Skin

Draco and Ginny's characters aren't very steady. Flying from one extreme mood to the next without much explanation for why it's happening. It's a bit difficult to follow.

I don't mean this as an insult; I'm trying to give you feedback. I'm still reading on, so obviously you're still doing a good job!

Author's Response: To explain Ginny's character, it is all related to her having PTSD. She WILL fly from one extreme to another. Also, it is hinted at in another chapter WHY their characters are changing. Narcissa has a conversation with one of the Fates/Destiny. If you read it carefully, and then continue on, it will all come together.

Reviewer: GoldenFawkes Signed
Date: Jun 30, 2011 Title: Chapter 7: Of Death Eater Meetings

I just can't reconcile the different facets of Draco's personality. He's proud and strong sometimes, then he's a Death Eater who enjoys killing and torturing, then he's scared of Voldemort, then he's suddenly incredibly attracted to Ginny... He kind of sounds like he has multiple personalities.

Author's Response: A few personalities in one body... actually... he does. But we find out more about that later on. Also, Voldemort is intimidating. Bellatrix loves him, but when he casts the Killing Curse in Gringotts, she runs for her life, out of fear. This is one scary dude. Just like Lucius loved him, and then was scared shitless to have him in his house. You get taken to an empty field, with a well known murderer, you'd be scared. I tried to pull from the books the Malfoys experience. But I appreciate all of your feedback. It lets me know that I should insert a few bigger clues about what exactly is going on with Draco's personality change. I hope it doesn't turn you off from the story. If it does, I hope another one that I write in the future will live up to your standards. =)

A Marriage of Convenience by ClairdeLune    (Reviews - 172)

The post-war world is hardly the utopia it claims to be. Freedom is an illusion, and getting into the good graces of those with power takes precedence over morals. In this unhappy world, can Ginny, forced into a marriage of convenience, find happiness? And does she know the people around her as well as she thinks?
