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."

Not Quite Fate by Hearts Cadence    (Reviews - 933)

*COMPLETE* Destiny knew better than to bring these two together. One man, determined to draw back an errant Malfoy, is not so wise, and Ginny soon finds herself caught up in events that are not quite Fate.

XD OMG!!! I loved it! More D/G is always needed, but I LOVE Naomi! And I'm still sad Pierce is dead =( I can't believe you killed him!! haha, love!

I have to go to school now (ugh) but this was AWESOME!!!! and I loved it! I can't wait to see Harry's reaction, hahaha, Ginny's so right about him. =D

I'm sure this directly contradicts something I've said in previous comments, but I love Nott XD lovelovelove!

I still kinda wish Pierce weren't dead, but... =( poor Naomi.
ps do we know Ben's father? who it is, I mean?


I'M SO SAD IT'S OVER. So surprised, but WHOA. whoa. I mean, there's just...agh, never enough, right? lol =P
ILOVEYOU!!!! AGH! this was so so so so good, and I can't wait til I get a chance to read it in whole.

...I think you just killed a small part of me...no more novels?!?!?! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH ALL THAT FREETIME I DON'T HAVE, HUH???

holy crap.

I'm sorry I didn't get around to reading this earlier but I have about as much free time as you seem to have at this juncture, so other, necessary things (like...homework, midterms and finding a job, lmao) had to take precedent.

but of course, I come back, and it's wonnnnderful. And I was going to whine (again) about Jon being dead, but you dealt with Naomi's grief and Draco's guilt so beautifully I just can't do it, I just want to hug them! xP nobutreally.

I love Theodore Nott. I do. I know that you can go back and find reviews of mine which directly contradict that statement, but bah--what did I know then, hm? nothing. anyway, he's hysterical and I love him, XD especially the insulting-hermione part, that was too funny.

I LOVED your story, it's one of my absolute favorites, and I hope you go for a whole slew of oneshots now that you've retired. I'm...ergh.

well, GOOD LUCK at the paper and all that other stuff you're up to and keep writing!!!! you have a knack for story-weaving. Your fans adore you and hope you stick around.

Pilgrim's Prayer by Jawy    (Reviews - 12)

She would no longer need to marry Harry to feel as though she had found her place in the world. He found himself poor and despised at the ripe age of twenty-three, knowing that his best years were far behind him.

You have a really beautiful style. Just the words you chose and the way you weave each sentence is really interesting and different. I love it!

And this story, even though we've really only seen one scene so far, is REALLY GREAT! And I hope you get a chance to update soon, I can't wait to see how it all goes after that one comment.

thatwassofunny. Blaise is absolutely hysterical, can't help but love him. And you always keep them so in character, it's amazing.

*will not say she loved it even though she did*

it was WONDERFUL. ((see? there. I can do it.))


and I can totally imagine Draco having his "days" - that was an interesting way of putting it.

Shall Rise Again by Peki    (Reviews - 292)

Sequel to Break in the sun (till the sun breaks down). For a few blissful hours, the differences between them did not matter. But as Draco and Ginny struggle with their budding relationship, they must soon discover that many things separate them still - family, friends and society as well as their own explosive tempers. The future they want for themselves comes at a price, and reconciling what they each want out of life is a challenge that might just break them apart...

Smiling Like A Doll by Angelsea585    (Reviews - 16)

She would not look at him. She would not talk to him. And she would certainly never speak to him again. Being a slightly temperamental red head, Ginny Weasely had no problems playing with fire, and instead had been burned by dry ice.

One-shot inspired by Thalia's Pleasure and Pain.

A Tale of Two Matchmakers by Kerichi    (Reviews - 524)

Romance for three couples when Blaise and Luna use Shakespearean styled matchmaking to hook up Ginny and Draco. There's Much Ado about...something!

Nominated for a Quicksilver Quill award for Best Romance- Non Canon on Mugglenet

* Written before the HBP, this tale presents an alternate sixth year in which Dumbledore lives, Draco is more than a foil to Harry, and Blaise Zabini is a girl. I hope readers who ship Draco/Ginny will enjoy the story which includes dancing with faeries, Celtic and Norse mythology, school holidays in London and Spain, and loads of fantasy and romance. "Is this a kissing book?" (to quote the Princess Bride) Yes, it is.*

awesome! excepttoodarnshort

Author's Response: No, not Kingsley...I\'m afraid I find him too Gryffindoric to twist him like that. I try with Draco...though I admit, I often rewrite him 3/4 times because I want him to be soft and mushy and romantic. Perhaps I\'ll write a flufflet for that, get it all out of my system.

She flipped another page and smiled at first line of the prophecy – the dragon's strength is the flame - a love prophecy, symbolism then.
AAS:DLKFJAIRSHGKJDfN! THAT WAS JUST MEAN! She just skipped over it and didn't even let me see the whole thing and YOU KNEW IT! meanie!

And then you had to go and end the chapter with Hermione starting to talk about genetics, and what does THAT have to do with anything?

you have simply just got to update more often. I aboslutely adore this fic, it's great, and I can't wait to read it again once it's finished, so I can really get the whole...sense of continuity.
ah! update!
