In the back of her mind, Ginny had always sensed there would be wild adventures with her and Harry. The early days of their time together–fighting evil and playing sport–felt like lifetimes ago. The most adventuresome thing they had done together in recent memory was a spontaneous shagging in the garden. It was so domestic that it pained her how common they were. The greatest wizard of his generation, and his wife, getting their thrills from a shag in the garden. She had never thought this future would be hers.Category: Long and Completed
This was great! Like I said, I usually don't like affair fics, but I couldn't stop reading this one. I also really liked how you used the mirror to subtly hint at the inner state of D and G. I'm glad it concluded happily for our couple, but I also didn't want the story to end.
I usually can't stand stories where Ginny or Harry cheats because they tend to end up very OOC that I end up disliking the characters, but you've done a good job here of making it a believable, understandable process with heady consequences that Ginny has to grapple with and Draco as well. The story just flows. Hope you keep up with the regular updates!
New Auror pairs must complete a most difficult task to prove that they know every detail about the other. Harry and Draco have been training partners for eight months now. They don't seem worried, however the two have obviously kept secrets, mostly pertaining to Ginny Weasley.Category: Works in Progress
I really like it. Please update soon.
Draco has an obsession with Harry's girlfriend.Category: Long and Completed
Poor Draco. I'm loving the interactions between the pair, but I do find Draco to be the 'softer' fanon version in this story. Which is fine as I read all different versions of Draco. :)
Author's Response: Well it's good that you're getting that from him because that was what I wanted. :) But, I agree. All Dracos are good!
I'm glad your Draco made the choice that he did considering why Ginny had a problem with Harry in the first place. He'd be acting pretty much like Harry otherwise.
Author's Response: Agreed. :)
Just give in Ginny! :D I love how her subconscious spoke for her regarding the Room of Requirement.
Author's Response: Heh, she's a stubborn one, isn't she?
That was a pretty jerk move on Harry's part. I do find his action to be a bit OOC here if you're drawing strictly from canon, but you're probably not. Your D and G continue to be very d'aaaawww worthy.
Author's Response: I'm not. :) I wanted Harry a bit OOC because I wanted Draco, for once, to be the antagonist of the story. I'm glad you like my D and G :)
Love your Blaise, but poor Draco. I hope you'll make it up to him.
No Ginny, anyone with half a brain knows you're only lying to yourself. :P
Author's Response: :) Thanks for the review! I promise, all will be resolved soon!
Your infatuated Draco is adorable.
Author's Response: Thanks dear! :)
Arg, silly Ginny. And now you've made me sad. :( Awaiting your next update!
Author's Response: I sowwy! I will update soon, I assure you. I am anxious to finish this one.
This was a lovely ending Pam. They're such an adorable couple in this one. I love the line about Draco being the Prince Charming but rough around the edges. I would love to see an epilogue or even just a drabble for the adorableness to continue a little bit longer. :)
Author's Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed the ending. I can definitely see why people would want to see an epilogue or something, and if I can think of a way to go about it, I will. I make no promises that it will be done, but I will try. It is flattering, though, that the story was well-liked enough to even WANT a continuation!
This is the story of what happens when husbands give their wives a hard time.Category: Long and Completed
Loved their reactions! You could really feel Draco's emotions here. I'm glad you didn't postpone Draco's response. :D
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I'm glad I went into Draco's reaction in this chapter, although there is still more of that to come, because I don't want to leave everyone hanging for too long. I'm happy you enjoyed!
I don't think I've ever read a husband-swap fic. It's great fun so far though I really think Ginny and Astoria should try to check with each other soon if there are boundaries they should not be crossing. ;D
Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for the review :)
Eagerly awaiting your next updates! :) One suggestion I do have is to flesh out Astoria's reaction a bit more. Because she seems to have a good friendship with Ginny, her reactions to me seemed a bit too blasé for someone who had just slept with their friend's husband.
Author's Response: Thanks for your suggestion. :) There will be more on Astoria's reactions/thoughts in the upcoming chapters, so do not fear! Thanks for reading and reviewing! :)
Stubborn till the very end. So classically DG. The only thing that puzzled me was why Charlie's wedding was at Malfoy Manor. Cruel trick by the way :P. Overall I loved the story and it's among the very few where everybody is still on good terms with each other in the end, but you definitely made that work. Though I'm still curious about how they're going to go about integrating their families. I'm sure Ginny's kids must have inherited her stubbornness, so I doubt it's going to be an easy transition :D.
Author's Response: I had Charlie's wedding at Malfoy Manor for two reasons. First of all, it was a bit of a ploy for you to think that it was DG getting married (which worked, obviously ;)), and also because I wanted to show that the Malfoys/Potters/Weasleys had sort of come to a bit of an understanding (with Draco speaking with George/Molly), aside from DG. And I wanted to leave this a little bit open with a happy/hopeful ending because, like you said there is no way that this could simply be easy with the families involved here. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed this story because I certainly enjoyed writing it. :)
Oooh they're stubborn. Well I'm finally getting around to finish this story at last, and boy, I'm glad I don't have to wait to read the next chapter. That interaction with Harry at the beginning was hilarious. It's not often that we see them being close to amicable in a DG fic, but it definitely works here. I loved how you wrote the interaction with Molly and George as well. It strikes just the right degree of familial protectiveness without going overboard. I think what you had Ginny decide to do was fitting for her character, and I feel the act gives the story a bit more realism (amidst the more far-fetching setup) and poignancy.
Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed this and that you appreciated what I chose to do with Ginny here. I got a lot of slack for it, actually, because I think a lot of people thought I was going to leave it this way. Thanks for the lovely review, as always!
It's unusual reading such a nice, understanding Harry in a breakup scene for a DG fic. Haha. That Astoria and Harry are both such nice characters are a rarity in DG stories, but you made said characterizations work in this story.
I really liked how you handled the breakup scene for both couples. The only part that seemed a little odd to me was that bit with Ginny smiling as she said I'm sorry-I think she probably should still be feeling bad at this point as this was before Harry told her he's not mad. I'm certainly forward to DG's next confrontation now that both canon couples have been broken up. ;) I'm also curious about how you'll be handling Ginny's kids' reactions.
Author's Response: That was one thing I decided on before I even began writing this. I didn't want to turn Astoria and Harry into "bad guys" in any way. But trust me when I say that Ginny is definitely still feeling bad, and you'll see that in the next chapter when Draco and Ginny meet again!
That was a hilarious way for Harry and Draco to have bonded. I must confess that I don't quite understand the extent of Draco's anger. Wasn't his wife just as much at fault, or is he just deflecting a lot of it on to Ginny? Poor girl. You did a great job with conveying her emotional state. Draco said some pretty cruel things to her, so he better make it up to her big time. What I also really like about this whole story in general is that neither Harry and Astoria is vilified, but both come naturally to an understanding of the state of their relationships.
Author's Response: Draco is pretty deflated by Ginny. He had thought so highly of her and, over the years, he fell in love with her, and so her deceitful behavior hit him pretty hard. But you are right; Astoria is equally as responsible for the situation. The difference is, he never really liked Astoria all that much. But worry not, I believe in happy endings above all else, and the scene with Harry and Draco serves as a way for Draco to start seeing that Ginny felt just as stuck in her marriage as he felt in his. :) Thanks for reviewing!
In order to help end the war after Dumbledore's death, Draco Malfoy is sold out to the Ministry and the public by his love and Secret Keeper, Ginny Weasley. Now, ten years later since the incident, he is a new man; successful and true but with a cold heart. Meanwhile, Ginny suffers for betraying her one and true love with a vicious curse that afflicts both parties. In order to return their lives back to normal, Ginny pulls some desperate moves while trying to maintain her sanity. *song-fic*Category: Long and Completed
An intriguing beginning. The betrayal goes both ways. Ginny sold Malfoy out, but by his actions he in turn put her and those she loved in more danger with Dumbledore out of the way.
I love the intensity of their relationship you have portrayed here, and the sense of foreboding that is built about their future from this point on.
I just love this Ginny that you are portraying. It's really engrossing to read. You really get a sense of her unhappiness and frustration through her words and actions.
With just that one scene, l definitely got a feel for how cold Draco's become since Ginny's betrayal. You have a great feel for the dialogue as well. It flows very naturally. That Colleen woman is quite shameless, but she fits right in with the plot.
Oh wow, I think this is the first time I've read a Ginny that participated in a four-some, but the scenario makes perfect sense with who she is in this story. Ginny and Draco's interactions are just explosive. Past and present, you convey their emotions very well.
Your Draco and Ginny in this story is really gripping to read, like a train wreck you can't keep your eyes from. That last line pretty much sums it up. I kind of felt all along that a part of Ginny really didn't want to fight what Draco did to her. On the surface she blames him, but deep inside, I felt like she wanted to keep that link with Draco. In blaming him, she could use him as an excuse to cover her own depraved desires.
I initially skipped this one over because I usually don't read songfics (as they tend to seem forced to keep in line with the lyrics), but this was very engrossing to read. You've really gotten across the intensity of their relationship and how much they've both gone off the deep end. This isn't a happy ending, but you can't really say it's sad either. It's just very fitting given what's happened between them, though I'm definitely left wanting to know how they'll keep up this madness.
Author's Response: Hehe well my dear, I am so glad you didn't pass this by. My deal with the song-fic was that it was a request in the FIA forums from a user named Prolific Wonder to base a D&G fic from the Adele song, because he or she felt like the lyrics would be perfect to dictate an event that speculates a lot of angst and drama in between the couple. Little did she know how right she was, when combined with the events of my mind and muses! I'm not usually a big fan of song-fics either, since they do tend to not flow well due to the nature of the lyrics, but with the way I interpreted each line of Adele's song in conjunction to what was happening between Draco and Ginny, I do think that it flows well while not being completely limited by the song in general. I'm really thrilled that you've enjoyed this story, and I beg of you to read Anise's Companion fic The Moons of Saturn in the Sky that follows the ending of this dramatic madness with a more touching note! Thanks for reading!
