A Vesica/Mynuet Collaboration. If Ginny had even the slightest inkling of what the day would bring, she probably would have called in sick. A disastrous press conference proved to be no match for the spin doctoring talents of Lush's chief and Ginny finds herself catapulted from being a lowly intern to the very eye of the storm, living a double life as a careerwitch and glamorous front woman for a racy new line. Throw in a few A-list events, a few dozen crises, an endless promotional tour with her new co-worker and the last person she wanted to spend time with, and a mystery waiting back home that neither of them may be able to solve….Every day's an adventure when you're living the Lush Life!Category: Works in Progress
Mynuet, I must ask-- what's an HBIC? *note: I asked this before I read the chapter, but I know it's going to be even more awesome than the fantastic chapters before it.
Author's Response: Ves says: I will field this one because I use that title too at one of my communities. Head Bitch in Charge. :D\r\nMyn says: It’s an adaptation of a line from the movie “Lean on Me.”\r\n

A thousand million thanks to you for your awesome story. :D Seriously, this was great. I especially love your first chapter, it's very upbeat.

I love this, it's the best guideline for writing fanfiction I've read yet. You outline all of the things I've sat at my computer and complained about to my kittens (not that they care). I think you're my new hero, my idol, even!

Lovely, Kate. I had just read this a few weeks ago and wondered if you were going to update--what I pleasant surprise I had when I saw that you had!
Author's Response: Thank you!
Malfoy is acting suspiciously, and the Trio immediately assumes the worst. However, when Blaise Zabini offers Ginny a different perspective, she begins to wonder if maybe all of their beliefs concerning Draco are just...misconceptions. But that's only the beginning.Category: Long and Completed
I'm SO happy to finally be able to review your story! I've been reading it since the Christmas Holiday chapters were published, and I've always wanted to write a review. =D But then, when you started posting it here, and I could review, I forgot my password... so I haven't been able to review till now!
So, thank you so much for writing this awesome story. =) (And I loved this chapter!!)
SMUT!!!
lol, I had completely missed your note saying 'this chapter is rated R,' and had no idea where this was going.
Con-crit: everything went a bit fast. All the pieces fitted together almost too well.
As always, it was wonderful!
hugs,

*sniffle* My kitten and I have read almost every chapter together, and really enjoyed this story. Great job on finishing it! Hugs from me and slobbers from my Chili (the kitten)! =)
Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy are stuck together at the Order Headquarters. Will they find friendship? Something more? DGCategory: Works in Progress
I looovvve this story!!! I think you might be my hero now :D
My favorite parts so far are how Ginny is being insanely clumsy around Malfoy.. My favorite line is this sentence..
~
"Can you pass the butter, please?"
Horrified, she realized what was seeping through the elbow of her sleeve.
~
I actually did that last month. Not in front of someone I had a crush on or anything, just in front of my friends.. I couldn't believe how clumsy I was!! Besides, butter soaking the elbow of your pretty green sweater is gross. =/ (luckily, the friends involved in the Butter Incident have forgotten about it, and didn't die from their laughter when they saw my sleeve)
Author's Response: Hehe, thanks for the kind words about the story. I thought that line would be a great laugh. Also - you have great friends if they didn\'t laugh at your little accident. :-)
Song-fic to Hoobastank's "The Reason" ...DG; AU after Book 5Category: Completed Short Stories
I love this :) *sniffle* I was actually thinking about this song a while ago (it's special to me) and wondering if anyone had written a songfic to it... I'm so glad I read this story. :)
*Completely AU* In a world where Voldemort was never defeated, only a few things matter: pureblood, money and power. All that Ginny Weasley wanted was to survive her 7 years at Hogwarts, a school where the children of the richest and most powerful wizards dominate over others. Denying her natural instincts, she managed to make it into her 6th year without offending any of the cruel and powerful Slytherins - especially that horrible Draco Malfoy. Until one day, she crosses a line, and her peaceful existence is shattered forever. A story filled with adolescent drama, clash of the classes, angst, jealousy, ridiculous pride and love triangles (and squares).Category: Works in Progress
Oh my gosh!! of COURSE we haven't given up on you! I love your story and there's absolutely no reason I won't wait indefinitely for you to update. And you're not the worst updater ever, I know several who have waited upwards of 8 months to update things. This is written before I read the chapter, so.. there'll probably be another review coming. As long as there aren't any freak accidents when I'm on the last sentence.
*hugs*
Reviewing again: I read it and I love it! Bella as the crazy headmistress is a nice touch, as is Ginny's claustrophobia. Most people have shockingly-un-flawed characters.
Nice to know you haven't abandoned it, Emeral. Great chapter, as always, and don't worry, most of us are quite content to wait months for chapters if they are as excellent as yours.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you so much!
I saw your story had been updated - YAY! OMG! - in my e-mail and... *throws all attempts at coherency out the window*
OMG! OMG! YOU UPDATED! OMG! YAY!
YAAAAAYYYY!!! WOOHOOO!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D
Okay, I love it. As always. YAY! And sorry about my barely-coherent review that was accidentally posted on the wrong chapter anyway.. haha... I was pretty excited.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! What an eeeevil cliffhanger. No cookie for you.
Seriously, though - awesome chapter, I loved it. Getting back into your story again feels like wrapping up in a warm blanket, it's so comforting. It's one of my three favorite stories on here.
One thing I would like to see later on in the story is Ginny choosing to be with Draco. Not being coerced into it, or feeling as though it's the "right" option . . . but actually thinking about it and making the conscious decision to be with him because she wants to.
She's such a strong character and lately I've gotten the feeling that she is just going along with whatever he is doing.
Author's Response: Exactly!! She\'s been swept along with the Malfoy and his powerful determination... She does need to make a conscious decision to be with him because it\'s what she WANTS and what she NEEDS. But he\'s still a mystery to her, that\'s she\'s finding a bit more about, and it\'s muddling everything up.
When Ginny Weasley becomes Draco Malfoy's wife, he suspects neither her true identity nor her dangerous motives. But when all Hell breaks lose and their relationship takes unexpected turns, there is more at stake than preserving their marriage--namely, preserving their lives.Category: Long and Completed
I just found your story yesterday morning.. and I managed to spend an entire day and half the evening reading it. I love it. I'm not even sure if I can possibly tell you how much I love this story without resorting to squee'ing. But, when I was reading your author's notes, and realized most of these chapters were uploaded within 2-3 weeks of the last one, I was utterly floored. You're writing a work of art with scrumptiously long chapters and uploading every two weeks? That's just amazing. You are a jem of an author. (And now that I've found you, your name superglued to my favorite authors list, and it's never, ever coming off.. bwahaha!)
Amazing.. I actually started drooling when I checked my e-mail and saw that you had updated.. *so excited and happy* Now, to re-read this several hundred times until it's memorized.
/"It's called hea-"/
WHAT on earth was about to be said there? Something dirty? It's got to be obvious, but I'm not getting it.
I don't remember if I've reviewed before or not, but I religiously read this amazing story, I absolutely love it, and if given the chance would kiss your feet in gratitude. =) I don't even know where to begin in singing praises to you, and that would take me a lonnnng time, so even if you don't see any more reviews from me, just remember that I'm reading and loving it!
*sighs happily*
Hesperides Apple is better than chocolate.
..and this is my favorite chapter so far.
Just wondering if you're all right - it's been over a year since you've updated anything. You're one of my favorite authors on here, and this is one of my two favorite stories. Anyhow, I'm hoping everything is okay.

*looks up guiltily from preparing a coffin* Dead? Oh no, not dead. Thought hadn't crossed my mind. *shoves coffin in a closet* Nope, certainly not.
Seriously, though.. Excellent chapter. And good luck w/ finals. Mine are in a month, so I'm only beginning to get worried..

"She changed the dress back to its original color." "Millie looked at the dress, and then changed the color to a shimmery copper."
What was the dress' original colour?
Author's Response: It was the black dress from the alumni dinner. Maybe I should put that in somewhere.
