""There need be no pour quoi about where evil arises; it just arises; it always is. No one asks about how the witch became wicked, or if it was the right choice for her. Is it ever the right choice? Does the devil ever struggle to be good again, or if so is he not a devil? It is, at the very least, a question of definitions."
-Wicked, by Gregory MaGuire

Wonders of Spatulas by Lirie Halliwell    (Reviews - 30)

It started with a simple demand - "Stop glaring at me!" - and somehow escalated into long discussions regarding lost causes, the ugly sides of individualism and the uses of spatulas in causing possible mental damage. As the notes and the mutual detentions continues, the long-time rivals might just find more between the lines than the wonders of spatulas.

Protege by Rhea Summers    (Reviews - 8)

Good luck can often be found in the most unexpected places. For Neville Longbottom to sip some Felix Felicis, it has cost him Trevor's life and five years' worth of giving free Herbology tuition. What goes around comes around, and it is high time that he gets the longer end of the stick. However, things may not seem as straight-forward when he catches Ginny with a certain blonde Slytherin...

oh wow, this was fantastic! This was your first fic? Please PLEASE at least CONSIDER doing a sequel OS or fic or something where they either break up or get together...somewhere where things get really complicated. I like your D/G, they're really different from most.

VERY good job and I hope to see more from you soon!!!

Author's Response: I\'m glad you\'re open to the non-maternal Ginny. Thank you for your review and your read, especially, and I will consider a sequel but nothing\'s going to happen until inspiration hits. I\'m already working on another story!

OHMYGODTHEYREDEAD!

I'm sorry, sometimes I just need to be Captain Obvious, for my own sake.

Wow, jeez. That was really interesting, I REALLY liked it. Poor Gideon =( but what a nice ending, even though they're dead. Gah! It's so bittersweet! It's hard to compliment because it's so bittersweet. "It was so cute!" except the part about the child dying of starvation, the idea of Draco deserting a pregnant Ginny, and, oh yeah, them being dead. "Wow, what a happy ending!" Except, yaknow, they're dead. "Gee, what a nice Christmas tale..."...of what? love? together-ness? Except they were all split up and angry at eachother...and dead.

hahaha, well, at least you know what I REALLY think ;) I loved it! I did.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, LYNDSIE!

Author's Response: I like this review much better than just "OMG SO CUTE!" I just have to say, in Draco's defense, he didn't know she was pregnant, and neither did she until after he was gone. He was not meant to be gone for very long, but something happened and he was killed on his way to wherever they were taking him to hide (ironic, considering he was faking his death).rn

This thing just sort of wrote itself, but I got to the ending and thought of a couple of different versions, but it wouldn't have been a happy ending if they'd actually been alive the whole time. They would have ended up apart, in a world that was too terrible to contemplate. So I think that I gave it the happy ending.rn

Thanks so much for your review. I really enjoyed it. : ) (PS. I did write a fic called "Bittersweet", if you like this style. Also, last year's Christmas fic has a similar feel, only everyone's alive and stuff...)
