I joined the D/G fanfiction community a couple of months ago, but I've just started trying my hand and writing my own. I really adore everyone here at FIA for being such a supportive and kind group of people. I do try to reply to every single review I get because I appreciate the effort and time that people put into giving me feedback. Plus, it's a nice way to make new friends and share the D/G love. :)
Always feel free to PM me if you want to just chat about D/G. I'm especially open to people who want to give me recommendations. :)

Ooh, I like the introduction of Blaise! Good addition. I'm always for the jealousy factor...:) And it'll be interesting to see how Draco becomes obsessed with Ginny after her rejection. I'm a big fan of those too. Good job!
XOXO, JT
Date: May 19, 2010 Title: Chapter 4: Pleasure And Pain
Very, very interesting development. I'm a huge fan of obsessive!Draco. Especially if it makes him posessive and crazy and all...Slytherin-like. After this chaptdr, you seriously have to update soon because this is way too interesting! I can't wait to see what's going to ahppen when Draco and Ginny meet up again...
Great job and update soon!

i like the dg chemistry in this one. it's a good chapter to explore their feelings and relationship.

Author's Response: Thank you :)
Date: Jun 06, 2010 Title: Chapter 10: How Far We're Come
Draco's last line is so creepy...could Ginny really be the one that the killer wants? And what is this thing that's flashing over his face? The mystery thickens...Good job!
XOXO, JT
Date: Jun 06, 2010 Title: Chapter 11: The New Revelation
yes! that last sentence makes me happy! But...I have a question. I thought Ron was married to Hermione, who you mentioned to be pregnant in the last chapter? So, is he cheating on Hermione with Pansy? Just wondering...And that new development about the killer in Ginny's building is creeping me out...
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: Ohh. Oops. I guess I forgot about that. Um, I suppose he is then.
Date: Jun 13, 2010 Title: Chapter 12: The End Of Days
Oh my goodness! It was DRACO all along? I was totally expecting Blaise! oh my goodness, that is twisted. This is possibly one of the most twisted things I've read in the DG fandom. And that's not a bad thing! I really like mysteries with a surprise twist ending, but...wow. this is really just...*whew!* Only one part that I didn't get, though. At the very end, with the redhead girl...is that Ginny? Or just another redhead? Because it seems like it would be Ginny...And what was the blood dripping down her temple and the hollow eyes?
Other than that, good job on the twist! I'm going to go back and reread the DG parts just to see how twisted this is.
XOXO, JT
P.S. Is this the last chapter? Because it says WIP, but it seems like this would be the end...
Author's Response: It is the last chapter. I just didn't want to change it to Complete until this was up. Yes, it was Ginny, well he was seeing her how he left her anyway.

Antoinette cherie! My finals are done, which means I will finally start responding and reviewing and reading fanfic again starting tomorrow! I really wanted to read this first, though, and I'm glad I did. Definitely such a good interpretation of the prompt. I was really angry and sad that Lucius would take that special thing away from Ginny. Every girl deserves to have her first time be with the person she loves. I can't imagine being raped and left for dead. All I can say is that hopefully, D and G will have a good time doing it in heaven. ;) Anyways, good job on this one, and please update Buttercup!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: My finals are done too. So cheers! Yes, I certainly made Lucius out to be awful in this. But I wanted to try something different. It's a terrible story, really. Thanks for the review! As for Buttercup, it's coming along--meanwhile, don't you owe me a proper review. Hmhp. I kid. I kid. :D

Oh Antoinette, this was oh-so-sad. All your one-shots have been pretty sad, though. This one really broke my heart, especially that part about where Ginny saw Draco and his wife dancing. :( That just really made me want to cry. You really should do a bit of a sequel, because this is just too sad to not give DG a happy ending. Or, maybe a prequel would be good, explaining how and why DG didn't end up together... but a sequel getting them together would be better. :)
XOXO, JT
P.S. Don't you owe me a review for LTM chapter 4? Haha, jk, jk, I'm going to re-review Buttercup right now so I don't forget. You really should update BUttercup though...just saying. ;)
Author's Response: I know, I'm working on a happy one-shot. The thing about my one-shots is that I write them with the thought of not writing any companion pieces. I like to leave people guessing about what is happening. And again, if I wrote a companion to this, Draco and Ginny wouldn't be together. They are both in marriages that they don't want to break apart, and until they get up the willpower to admit to themselves that they should be together, then they'll have to live with their respective partners. Basically, they've settled. And yes, I do owe you a review -_- I'll need to get around to writing it. Thanks for the review!

I'll admit, I skipped to the end because I didn't want some Draco-leaving-Ginny-for-Hermione story (ew, ew, ew!), and found out that he left her to be a priest (very interesting). I won't lie, I was kind of chuckling to myself at the thought of Draco becoming a priest. But good story! I hoep he goes back to Ginny though. :)
XOXO, JT
Oh, and very good job on your first fic. Please make him choose Ginny.
Author's Response: Ugh, I could never bring myself to write that. Hard to believe, but I actually began as a D/Hr shipper. Then I read one D/G and the D/Hr ship SANK! Ever since, I can't even read a story like 'Draco likes Hermione and uses Ginny but then they fall in love.' Can't do it!
Date: May 26, 2010 Title: Chapter 1: Can You Take Me Higher?
Ahh, then you are my favorite type of DG person: the converted DG shipper. I am a sort of converted DG shipper myself. I used to read DHr because my friends bugged me about it, but gave up after three days because Draco really has to be pretty OOC to even consider going against some seventeen years of inbred prejudice to even like Hermione. And then, ya know, I found DG, and all became right in the world. I think the DG ship just has better writers overall, lol. I'm definitely glad that you've joined the DG ship though, and have started writing for it. I have to say, I'm deeply interested as to which fic converted you to DG. It must've been bloody brilliant. :)
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: The weird thing is that I can't even REMEMBER what fic it was...i've had so many favorites that they all start to run together when I consider when I first read them. All I know is that I'm so glad I switched!
Right now, I am STILL waiting for an update on "Il Dragone"

Companion fic to "You Bring Me Closer to God." Draco was unable to live with his guilt. He had done so many things wrong in his life.

Nice to see things from draco's POV. Can't wait to see where exactly you'll be taking this. :)
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: I did believe that Draco's POV needed to be seen. Otherwise, readers would just hate his character, and that is the last thing I wanted. I want people to understand both sides-- we're reminded of our pasts often, and we don't always know how to react and deal with it. People become depressed, violent, or ambivilant. This is just what Draco's chosen. And Ginny wants to help because that's what she's known all her life. She comes from a big family and, as the only girl, she was seen as the peacemaker and Devil's Advocate. It was only natural for her to become a Head Healer. Plus, she loves Draco. We all know we'd do anything to help the ones we love. Unfortunately, for now, it means she can't see him. And she may never be able to see him again. Btw, thank you for reviewing so much! I appreciate it! I get worried when no one does!

Wow! This was so fantastic! I loved the fairy-tale twist, and especially when she was going through thinking of every fairy tale with green in it.
I have to say, I'm really glad that you wrote this. It seems like a lot of my favorite DG prominent authors are slowly starting to write fics again, for which I'm glad. I certainly hope to read more from you in the future
Good job!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. And I was just as amazed as Ginny by the amount of green there is out there once you start thinking about it, even in fairy tales. I can't guarantee that I'll write anything again soon, but it's certainly not out of the question now that I've gotten writing brain working again. Thanks for the review! :)

Man, I really really love this. It just...seems right. Draco ultimately snuffs out Ginny's fire because he tries to mold her into something she's not. And, just that end part about the bird in the cage and the empty cage: perfection. Yeah, it's not the happiest DG, but this one kept me thinking for a long time after I'd read it. So, definitely kudos to you because I think you really fulfilled the avant-garde challenge and took a step away from the fluffier DG one-shots (which, I love. Nothing wrong with them at all). But wow, this one was great. Good job, Kim!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: Thank you. I was really trying to do something different with this, so I'm glad that came through and that you could still enjoy it for what it was. ^_^

Oh, jessica k malfoy, this was positively delightful! It made me feel so giddy and upbeat about...life! Just goes on to show you that if you're willing to work hard for something, there will be benefits. Now, hopefully, Draco will be able to take a break with his parents back on his side. And I really love how he chose Ginny and rationalized it with how she was already used to living without money. *sighs happily* Aboso-bloody-lutely wonderful! Can't wait to read more from you....Especially Vineyard Summer. *coughs* You know, you should probably update that. *coughs some more* And...I still haven't forgotten the really angsty-sad one-shot you wrote for the dgficexchange. I'm not done reading all of them yet, but I'm going to need to go hunt it down. Hopefully, it won't totally counter-affect the sweetness of this story. As long as it's not like Brightside, I think I'll be good.
Okay, enough rambling from moi. Great story!

Author's Response: wow, thank you. i'm glad you felt that good!!!! and yes....... i see that COUGH!!! haha. i'm working on it. sort of. okay, no so really much. but i will. my dgficexchange piece isn't like Brightside, but that's all the details i can give you until after the reveal! i need to get back on VS. it's bad when your beta's are asking where it is....

Meanwhile, when Harry decides to push aside his feelings and move on, Ginny finds herself unreasonably jealous. As Ginny once again forces her heart to choose, will her uncertainty leave her all alone?

It took me awhile to read TBIE, which is why I'm reviewing so late. And then, I read the summary, and I was torn between reading it or not. I don't really want to read a story where Ginny might not want Draco after all, and I felt like TBIE ended in a good place. This chapter was interesting, though, especially the end.
Good job!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: Yay! I'm glad that posting SC got you reading TBIE! And I'm glad you liked it! It did end in a good place, I agree. But... I have this weakness for love triangles, and I would really like to explore a little more with the start of the H/G/D triangle I started in TBIE. I hope you keep reading as I post, and I don't know how it'll end yet myself, but I don't see Ginny ever not wanting Draco at all... If that helps. :-) I look forward to hearing more from you!

Even though I LOVE DG, I hate Astoria! I hate the other woman! I hate Harry! GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I guess the good thing is that it frees up Ginny for Draco, who seems to have ulterior motives.....hmmmm. I hope Harry sees Ginny with Draco and absolutely LOSES IT! And then, he'll be really possessive and angry, and Astoria will be so jealous because she thinks that she's "the one" and all. Of course, Ginny will be with Draco and won't want stupid, cheating, slutty Harry. What really makes me angry is that everybody thinks that Ginny cheating on Harry! If there's one thing, please let the world know the truth! I just think that for Harry to get away with this is despicable. I hope somebody knocks him down his peg a little...grrrrr. but fantastic writing! And please don't wait another month to update!
