...her lips were cold and dry against the tiny hand that had fallen loose of the blankets, his green stuffed dragon hanging limply from his fingertips. If she placed her hand gently against his chest, she could feel his heart thrumming quietly within him, and the panic that had been slowly building in her chest dissipated...Category: Completed Short Stories
This fic is very dark and stirring. You have an amazing talent with imagery. Through out the entire fic, I could imagine everything that was going on. I just wanted to clarify some things though: Did their marriage fall apart because of his involvement with Voldemort and the dark arts? And the last line, does it mean that he has disappeared forever? I know some authors like to leave the ending open, but I have taken on a sort of obsessed what?-please-let-there-be-hope-of-a-happy-d/g-ending mood. I would love it if there was some sort of sequel piece. I am a huge fan of dark!draco, but I really hope he and his marriage is still salvageable. Aside from all that annoying commentary, this was really such a beautiful and haunting piece and I deeply enjoyed it. This one's sticking with me for a long time. Good job.
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: Thanks so much! It is meant to be very vague, and more about what Ginny, the main character, is going through, than the plot. However, there will be a companion piece coming up soon from Draco's point of view, and I plan on doing several other pieces in this "Universe", which is basically a world torn apart by the war and Voldemort.
Back in 1994 Voldemort chose not to use Harry Potter's blood. Now the Malfoy's and the Weasley's are left to grieve for their lost loved ones and determine who they really are.Category: Works in Progress
I'm so glad that Draco was the one to kill voldemort, and not harry. I mean, come on, harry is so predictable. I'm glad draco did it though. My favorite line was , "Stupefy? Was I stupefied when I cast that? I’ll be killed for sure!" Hahahah, that just made me laugh so much. Good job on this and please update soon!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I mainly did that just to kill Harry off so there wouldn't be an issue with him and Ginny being an item. >.> I'll update as soon as my beta gets back to me!
It sits on the shelf, dusty and disused. Its owners have long forgotten that this old relic ever existed. Its pages are grimy and its ornate leather cover is inscribed. ‘Malfoy’, it says in a curly, almost unreadable script. It is a photo album.Category: Completed Short Stories
Awww! This is so cute! I love all the stages in Ginny and Draco's lives and the little insights into their kids' lives. I have just one question though: Did Draco and Ginny have a son after Molly and Druella? Because technically, if Molly or Dru got married and had kids, wouldn't D/G grandkids not have the last name Malfoy, since Molly and Dru are both girls? That's all. BEsides that, it was really good. Good job!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: I was hoping nobody would pick up on that. The idea is that Molly has had a son and because Malfoy is such an old and respected name Abraxus is using it. I know, I'm pushing it a bit. I thought of this problem after I had written the story, and I still wanted the child to have the Malfoy surname so I became a bit creative and basically ignored the problem. Please forgive me. Otherwise, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Ginny Weasley had always been a tomboy. Growing up with six brothers had seen to that. Now one of the top healers at St. Mungo's it didn't matter that she'd never had a problem with fashion. At leaest not until the day the two main benefactors of her hospital had waltzed in and declaired her a catastrophy.Category: Works in Progress
ooh, I really like it! You've managed to hook me with only the prologue! I just have a few questions: is the girl in here talking about Narcissa or Ginny? I really want to believe that it's Ginny...:) and also, if it was Ginny (or Narcissa), is she already married? Because I originally thought that this was about her wedding day, but then in the last line, the guy calls her Mrs. Malfoy, which would indicate she was already married.
Besides that, I really enjoyed this, and I hope you update soon!
XOXO, JT
YAY! I love fics where the ugly duckling girl gets all beautiful and stunning! Like, Pygmalion, Miss Congeniality, etc.....
Cant wait for the next chapter, when Draco will hopefully meet Ginny and the operations will begin....
XOXO, JT
awww, i really like emmaline. will we get to see more of her?
good job.

Just because the war is over doesn't mean everything's okay. There are some things magic can't fix.Category: Completed Short Stories
Oh, Vicky, this was absolutely beautiful. I loved the sort of haunting quality about it. Your imagery is so vivid, and I feel like I can really see everything that's going on. Ginny's perspective is written in a sort of detached state that really accurately reflects her emotional turmoil. As for Draco, he has a sort of soothing quality throughout that softens Ginny's emotional rollercoaster. I'm really glad that they found comfort with each other, and that he helps save Ginny towards the end. I just have one question: is Ginny mourning the death of Fred, or Harry. Because I thought it was Harry when Ron was talking with Hermione about Ginny's date, but then I thought it was Fred when she passed the WWW and saw how the apostrphe was still after the "s". Anyways, this was so beautiful. Really brilliant. Great job, Vicky!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response:
I'm glad you liked it! The detachment that you commented on was exactly what I was going for. :)
But as for your question - who said it had to be one or the other? Grief doesn't have a quota, and while there were certainly "high-profile" people she missed (Fred and Harry) there were plenty of others, from ones who were mentioned peripherally, like Colin, to ones who weren't even mentioned at all, like Lupin. The point of this fic wasn't to suggest that Ginny was sad after the war - because I took that as a given and tried to make the fic about her eventual coping and return to life, so to speak.
Sorry, I'm lecturing. I just had a lot of fun writing this, and a very vivid picture of what was going on, so I'm still a little crazy about it. ;) Thanks for the great review!
Ginny knew she shouldn't have agreed to test the Animagus collar for Fred and George. Thank goodness a nice man with grey eyes found her. He feeds her fish and lets her sleep in his bed. What more could a cat want?Category: Works in Progress
OH my goodness, this was just way too funny! I loved Catlover!Draco! And the ending was such a good place to leave it off for a second chapter. Myfavorite lines were "An upset cat could shred his couch. The only logical solution to save his furniture was to transport Amber and all of her accessories to his bedroom. " and "When she was sure he was done tossing and turning, she crept up to the top of the bed and made herself comfortable on his chest. It felt like where she belonged." Classic! Great job, and please update soon!

Ginny Weasley has a secret obsession. Until now, she thought it was harmless. Then she met Draco Malfoy.Category: Long and Completed
lady of the manor...haha, hopefully Gin becomes Draco's lady of Malfoy Manor. I really loved her shoulder obsessioin with him. Blaise as well as Luna were both written fantastically, and I really enjoy this Draco you've got here. All your characters are very nicely done and in-character and I look forward to reading the next few chapter! good job!
XOXO, JT
Oh my goodness, this was so cute. I loved this, "‘Uh-Uh, I won. Who was it that had his head held under water until he begged for mercy?’ argued Ginny.
Draco smiled. That little begging move had allowed him to come in very close contact with her breasts. "
That was just so Malfoy-like. ;P Great job!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: I'm really liking your reviewing skills. Thank you so much for all of them. Umm, little secret, that was my favourite line too. 'High-five'
Aw, I liked the scene where you show the girls' conversationa dn then the guys'. Cute!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: I wasn't sure if it worked so thanks for reviewing and letting me know. :)
aww, i'm kinda sad it ended, but it was good. that was definitely a cute ending. hopefully they go on to have tons of beautiful babies.:) My favorite story of yours by far! Great job!
XOXO, JT
Sometimes, Ginny just wanted to break mirrors so she'd be certain to live for another seven years. She wondered if seeing her face splinter like Draco's mind already had would be worth it.Category: Works in Progress

This is highly intriguing. I can't wait to find out the details of this Mark of Cain. Also, I wonder what Ginny will do about the invitation...Hope she and Draco meet up again soon.
Good job, and update soon!
XOXO, JT
Ah, such a good ending to the first chapter! I have to sy I'm really enjoying this. I'm just in the mood for some dark stories, and this seems to fit the bill. can't wait to see some draco and ginny goodness in action. :)
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: JT! Uh, so, when/if you get this, remind me to reply to your message. >_> I am terrible about that.
Yay! I'm so glad you're enjoying it. And actually, I was in the mood for dark stories when I started writing this, because I was a little fed up with the lack of dark stories I actually liked reading. Don't worry, the Draco/Ginny goodness is going to happen. ;)
Late reply=lame, but I hope you'll excuse me. :)

Ooh, haha, “Merlin, Zabini, I have only-child issues, all right!” Best. Line. Ever. I've read Hormones and you seem to have a great deal of witty lines. great job on this! I would love to see them progress from enemies-with-benefits into something more, but I'll take what I can get. :)
Great job!

So, why was Draco sitting on the unmade bed staring intently at a pair of his rolled-up black socks? The reason behind this was really very simple. It was not the socks Draco was staring at, rather it was what the socks contained that were of interest to Draco. Inside the socks was a box, and inside the box was a ring.Category: Completed Short Stories
ahhh this was so cute! I really liked the last line. :) great!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: Thank You. I'm glad you liked it. :)
With a war raging around them, Halloween becomes the perfect literal escape. Draco wants to go, but Ginny feels obligated to stay. Just another Halloween piece to go with my Holidays series.Category: Completed Short Stories
Oh, this was so, so good! Can I tell you how happy I am that you finally updated? Well, I'm beyong happy. I'm ecstatic. I originally thought this would be sad, since Ginny was talking about how they would never work outside the HOgwarts walls--well, now they can! I'm glad that you made Ginny leave with Draco instead of the cliche I-can't-do-it-because-of-my-family, that I LOVED how she just went with instinct and just left. When you say END, I hope that this isn't really the end, and that you may come back and do a bit more. I'm kind of hoping that Draco takes her to an exotic place where they can make love on the beaches and create beautiful babies in their summerhouse. *sighs* For now, though, I am super amped about Vineyard Summer. I really, really, really hope that Ginny is pregnant. Even though I wouldn't think teen pregnancy is okay in RL, I just always forget that GInny's still sixteen. She seems so much older, and I just love DG kids so much. I'm in love with Vineyard Summer, and I always get excited when you update your story. I'm really hoping that there will be a nice smutty scene between DG. And that they will get married without interference. I'll take what I can get, though. I'm just so happy that you haven't given up on the story yet. That would make me absolutely mad with grief. And I would love to be your beta, but my grammar still needs work, and I'm scared that I'll do a bad job of it and let you down. I've been known to overuse commas and mess up dialogue punctuation. The Vineyard Summer preview bonus makes me really want to do it, though, so I guess I could always be a last, last resort or something. Anyways, great job on this one, I hope this isn't truly the end, and I hope you update Vineyard Summer soon!
XOXO, JT
All Ginny wants is to get the upper hand just once with drool-worthy hunk of man candy and callous playboy Draco Malfoy before he moves on to his next careless conquest. So how did this simple plan lead to time travel, nefarious plots involving the most infamous whorehouse in the wizarding world, and the teenaged Draco’s achingly sweet, chocolate-flavored kisses? Even Draco Malfoy was innocent once, as Ginny learns all too well…Category: Long and Completed
Chapter ONE HUNDRED EIGHTEEN Quote of the Day:
THE LAST CHAPTER
The minutes ticked by, long enough for Ginny to know that against all reason, all common sense, she still wanted impossible things from him. But she would leave. Even after today, even when her body ached from him and for him, when she could feel that he had begun to shape her to him, she would turn around and leave him. I will, I will, she thought.
“You don’t understand,” said Draco.
“Oh?” Ginny said stiffly. “At least he hadn’t touched her, she thought. She would not be able to find the strength to pull herself away from him, and she knew it.
Oh, this is so good already! I really loved that you used movie lines and interpreted as Ginny worrying about Draco. I have always felt that H/G had a really awkward romance thing in the movie, anyway. I'm really glad that you've written most of this story, though, because now I really want to read more! Hopefully, this means that you update soon. *winks* And quite possibly with more about Ginny and her sex drive and Draco. :) Great job, and please update soon!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, my fics are kind of always using movie canon now ever since HBP. OH yes, more about Ginny and her sex drive, no worries. ;)
this is getting so good! I'm so excited to see how draco and ginny get together and finally do it. I wanted to stab Astoria greengrass, though. somehow, i don't take very favorably towards her, since she's the real one who gets to marry Draco in the books. i'm glad that she was rather vulgar in this chapter, though. I really can't wait for you to update! Chapter 3 ASAP please! :) Great job!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: Well the epilogue in which Astoria and Draco ALLEGEDLY get together was obviously either a.) written by evil aliens from the planet Zardoz, so we can all ignore it anyway or b.) explained by the plotline of Nineteen Years Later: The Truth (which WILL be finished one day, btw.)
ooh, I forgot to mention something. when you described draco as having full lips, in which his lower lip was bigger than his upper one, I suddenly remembered reading in a news article that men with bigger bottom lips than upper ones are more likely to cheat and not be as committed to relationship. Did you know about that beforehand, or was that just a coincidence?
Author's Response: No, but I could just see Draco trying to get away with using it as an excuse. ;)
Hahaha, I'm actually really glad that Michael left. I kinda want Ginny to give her virginity to Draco Malfoy. There's something fishy about him...Malfoys just aren't nice on principle. I think the niceness is an act, and that his true colors is the way he was when he was angry with the little man. This part was really funny, though. "But I do remember this cottage. It’s a cute little place. We used to allow some of our servants to holiday here.”
Hahahaha, love high-class Malfoy. Anyways, great job on this one, I can really feel the plot starting to pick up, and I'm definitely loving the fast updates! Please update soon!
XOXO, JT
Who. the. hell. is MARIE??????? I'm really wishing that it's some pet fantasy nickname for Ginny or something, because I think I would absolutely just rip apart any girl who is importnat to Draco enough that he would say HER name even as GINNY was touching him in all the right places. Argh, this really makes the wait for the next chapter even harder. I'm so glad that you've already got most of it types up, though, because I think I would die if you ever just stopped updating this story because of RL. I have to say, I've heard a lot about your stories, but have never had enough time to read through all the chapters for the update, so I'm so happy that I'm starting at ground level this time and working my way up so that I'll definitely be there for all the new updates this time around. I can definitely see why you're so highly praised though. :) Please, please update soon, and hopefully with details on who Marie is. *shifty eyes* Great job!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: Thank you thank you thank you! Have a review crown! (catch) This one has tanzanites on it.
Oh my goodness, this was just lovely. I ADORED possessive Draco in this one. Hopefully, once he finds out that Ginny is staying away because of Marie, he will clarify things with her and they can get right on to the shagging part. *winks* And also, I just want to tell you that you are absolutely adorable every single time you talk about your plot bunnies. It makes me crack up every single time and makes me want to virtually send you huggles. :) Great job on this one, and please update this fantastic fic soon!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: I'm glad that you liked possessive Draco. :) Draco's character is very complex in this fic, and there will be a lot of surprises... and the plot is thickening...
Sure enough, the plot bunny left evil chocolate eggs for Easter, but also plot clarifications. It's all good. (((huggles)))
I'm kind of glad that Draco didn't end up shagging her. I mean, while DG smut is ALWAYS welcome, I feel like Ginny's first time should be memorable and not something that she probably won't even remember. BUT there will be DG shagging very soon, yes? *winks*
Ooh, and Draco's reaction to Marie was interesting. He looks at her deeply and laughs. I mean, that's a pretty hopeful clue that maybe there's a twist to Marie...? I'm just blindly guessing here.
But very hot DG interaction in this one. Me likey.
Great job!
XOXO, JT
Hm, I almost missed this chapter because it was at the top, and it wasn't until I reviewed chapter 6 and the page took me to chapter 7 that I realized that you'd updated. It's a nice surprise. Very nice.
Interesting about those boxes. There's obviously something fishy about them. I don't think they belonged to Blaise. Not at all. Maybe it's a box of memoirs about DG? I don't know why, but I feel as if Draco's maybe gone from the future into the now, and he knows things about Ginny. Or...*sighs* I have no idea. I'll bet there's something to those darn boxes, though.
Great chapter! I'm really liking the fast updates. Please update soon!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: Thank you, and I'm glad you picked up on the clue about the boxes. You're right-- they will be important later on the fic.
