When Ginny breaks some happy news to her family, they react just the way she expects...Category: Completed Short Stories
Sounds like they were already married; why would Molly be so pissed off then?
Very well written, btw.
Author's Response: Haha, thanks for the addendum! In response to your question below, I don't think I mentioned them being married but either way I had the idea that Molly thought Ginny was just going through a phase or something, that it wouldn't last. Then she was even more incensed when Draco wasn't there for the announcement - she saw this as cowardly and bad mannered.
Thanks for the review(s)!
Ginny had told everyone that it was in fact Harry's baby… but that she had broken off the engagement. It was a lie, of course, but what was another lie? It was nothing.Category: Completed Short Stories
In the back of her mind, Ginny had always sensed there would be wild adventures with her and Harry. The early days of their time together–fighting evil and playing sport–felt like lifetimes ago. The most adventuresome thing they had done together in recent memory was a spontaneous shagging in the garden. It was so domestic that it pained her how common they were. The greatest wizard of his generation, and his wife, getting their thrills from a shag in the garden. She had never thought this future would be hers.Category: Long and Completed
Wow. I've read DG stories where Harry was cheating on Ginny before, but I've never felt how much it meant to Ginny before this story. Not betrayal, but freedom. I love that.
Oh, I love how Ginny said, "It isn't about him; it's about me." Awesome line.
Oh dear. How did Harry find out?
A good first chapter. I felt Ginny's frustration and loneliness.
Oooo, more! I like it very much!
This chapter was confusing. Hard to follow. I can't figure out when the scene of Harry and Ginny in bed happened.
Though if it was a device to move things along more quickly, I'm all for it. I want to see Ginny and Draco "move on" towards each other.
Author's Response: I'm sorry you felt this way. I have chosen a narrative style with a linear timeline and these pockets of events, but they are tied in with relevant surrounding events as far as relevance and I do drop heavy hints as to time setting.
I will definitely focus more on clarity moving forward though; thank you so much for the feedback, it really helps.
SO glad you've continued this story. I've never - ever - enjoyed an epilogue-compliant fic before this one, which makes it pretty special. To me, at least. Please continue with it!

Vague plot, written for Porn Battle XII.
Wish there was a 2nd chapter. And a 3rd. At least.
Author's Response: I'm really glad you liked this! (sorry for the late reply... I somehow missed the notification for this in my inbox. ^^;)

Nice camaraderie. I'm looking forward to more.
On a stormy night Draco and Ginny find themselves trapped within the endless circle of their love/hate relationship. Can they reach past their differences to clear away the assumptions that have held them apart for so long?Category: Completed Short Stories
I like. It does need some editing and a bit more of an explanation for why they ended up where they did. (Why did Luna leave Ginny? Where did SHE go? Why doesn't Voldemort know where this property is?) But I really enjoyed it, nevertheless.
Author's Response: Thank you for the review! This was written very hurriedly but since it is always a one-shot short story, I focused more on the important details of how Draco and Ginny ended up together rather than hash out the irrelevant details of side characters and plots. This is merely for the purpose of D/G and their stormy love. I want the reader to be able to imagine the extraneous details themselves while still delving tortuously deep into the inner workings of D/G.

I don't understand Draco's motivation, but I guess that wondering about that is besides the point, isn't it? I enjoyed it without knowing, after all. :)

Who would have thought that when Harry killed Voldemort the purists would still come to power? Who would have thought that when the marriage law is enforced, a Malfoy would propose to a Weasley? And who in their right mind could have foreseen that Harry Potter would ask her to say yes? This is a tale about a failing marriage and a society spiralling towards civil war.
I'm very confused. Intrigued, yes, but I don't really understand what's going on.
Author's Response: Well, yes. I wrote it like that on purpose, I'm nasty that way! ;) Did you notice that the dates don't follow chronologically? That may be the source of your confusion.
And I really don't like Draco looking at Astoria with regret. That makes me mad. :(
Author's Response: Aww! You are going to be mad about many things then... :( Hope it's not so bad, you 'll stop reading. ;)
I love this chapter! It's darling! More moremore!
Author's Response: :)
Mysterious!Draco... I want to know all his secrets. *evil grin*
Seriously, though. I want to know his secrets. What are they? Tell me. Please?

Author's Response: Haha! Dream on! Although on a serious note - you really think he would tell me? (tongue vs cheek moment) ;)
Not enough loving! I was happy to see Draco mention that he likes Ginny's hair, but I want more more more!
Thanks for the update!
Author's Response: LOL, let's hope there is more... ;)
Ahhh, finally. The start of something lovely, I hope? I don't like seeing them so far apart. I want to see them in love!
Author's Response: Oh, you romantic, you!
As part of the Rehabilitation Program after the war, Draco Malfoy has to work for Ginny Weasley. As a dish washer. Somehow it all works out anyway...Category: Completed Short Stories
I love how you have the storeroom replacing the standard broom-closet that Draco and Ginny always seem to be getting stuck in. Good one!
Author's Response: Well, as much as the theme for this year's exchange was to play around with cliche in the pairing, I did want to change things up a little. Plus, getting locked in together is some forced bonding time. :D
Aaa! I love that last line. So cute. Great story!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! Part of the prompt asked for acknowledgement of the Malfoy/Weasley family hatreds, and I don't think it's going to be a simple "Let's have dinner and all be friends!" But they do realize that it's worth the drama with their families to be together, and that's the important thing. :)

"There And Back Again" -- Isn't that the title of Bilbo's book?
I enjoyed very mucho! Thanks for not making us wait out the five years in an equal number of chapters. :)
Author's Response: Yes, it is actually! I hadn't meant to reference that specifically, but it certainly does fit. I thought of the title as referencing the "other country" of the epigraph, but this definitely works, too. The five years for Draco and Ginny is a long time, and I wasn't about to write an epic-length bit about them being miserable without each other. It's much more fun getting them back together. :D
