Though I rarely ever write D/G anymore (yes, this does mean that I probably never will finish "Grateful Calm" and "He Falls Like Lucifer"), you can still find me lurking about here every now and then. I used to run the LJ D/G community "Amor Quies," but now I kind of let it run itself. It's simple, really.

This is such a well-written story and I've never read a fic where both Lucius and Draco (as well as others) opposed the Dark Lord. It makes for some good reading. Your descriptions are wonderful and always leave me wanting more of this story! I have to say that my favourite chapter was when Lucien was born. Everything was just right and I could almost see it happening and let's just say that it changed my views on some things. Fics that make me rethink some things always have a place in heart. :)

Author's Response: I am glad you enjoyed the birth of Lucien; it is my favourite chapter too. I poured a lot of effort into it and researched a lot of things. I am also curious as to what things it changed your mind on - drop me an e-mail, I'm ever so curious now! LOL

Author's Response: amor_quies- Thank you so much. I'm glad to see that you're enjoying it and really you're overestimating my writing ability or at least making me blush fiercely! ;)Either way thank you tons for the review and I hope to see what you think of the next chapter.

Downfall by Mourning Broken Angel    (Reviews - 169)

An explosion in the Potions classroom leaves behind a raving Potions Master, a bloody Draco, and a certain redhead we all love having a moment of altruistic weakness. Ginny's kindness makes Draco very suspicious, leading him to destroy her goodwill. In retribution, Ginny decides to put some embarrassing information about Draco to good use. Ahh, nothing like one-upmanship to kindle a little romance.

You've done an amazing job with this fic. Even though it was short, I think you've captured everything perfectly. It's also a very original fic--to me anyway, though this is the only one I've read in which Ginny has a miscarriage. I like how you showed that they are alike, however differently they might act when on their own. But what I really enjoyed was your constant use of hand symbolism/imagery; the ambidextrous tied the knot.

Reviewer: amor_quies Signed
Date: May 30, 2005 Title: Chapter 1: Irritations

Thank you, thank you, thank you for compiling a set of irritations. And here I was thinking that I was the only one becoming annoyed with the pathetic use of "Mal-ferret" and the wearing of baggy pants, chains, "goth" music, and dark make-up in the wizarding world. If people had any inkling of sense and had read the actual Harry Potter series they would have noticed that nothing of the sort is mentioned. And besides, those who attend Hogwarts enter at the age of 11, so I highly doubt that they would have had time to develop their own style, particularly that of the mentioned clothing; therefore, the excuse of many being Muggle-born is not entirely valid. And I absolutely loathe when authors describe Draco as wearing a muscle tee. Just....no. It's so...well, I don't know what it is but it just makes me disgusted. He's a pureblood wizard and judging from what JKR has lead us to believe, I doubt a wizard of high society would be wearing something like that. And please, enough with the describing of Ginny as wearing "short shorts" and a "cute tee-shirt." It makes me want to rip up my own shorts and throw them down the garbage disposal. O, and it seems that not many authors know the difference between "then" and "than." That in itself is a whole other pet peeve that fits in the grammar section.

This is such a depressing one-shot! I'm on the verge of tears right now. T.T Ohhhh the angst. But despite its depressing nature, you have done a very good job of making your message and emotions succinct so that they're very hard to ignore. This, I feel, has made your fic so very emotional and, as someone remarked below me, poignant.

Furthermore, your descriptions were amazing as well and I definitely needed to cool down after some of those D/G sessions, heh. Your description of Draco gave me butterfiles in my stomach too. xP For a second there I was so extremely afraid that you would kill Draco off and I was all ready to bawl my eyes out. But he lived and I was, am, so extremely glad! All in all, very well done. I commend you.

I really enjoyed your style of writing. It's different than a lot of other fics. I can't quite place my finger on what it reminded me of when I read it, but I feel it is cold and distant, confused...true to how Ginny is feeling and I like that. The fact that it is narrated by Ginny makes it reminiscent of films like "Sin City" (not the plot, just the overall air of it). So yea, what I'm trying to say is: good job!

Author's Response: Thank you! I tried to make this one-shot different with the first person and Ginny\'s thoughts so the reader can learn more about what Ginny is facing and feeling. I\'m glad you enjoyed it.

I don't want to come off as harsh, but I feel as if there should be some constructive criticism here. There is potential, but I feel like you threw together a bunch of big words without fully comprehending their definitions. This, in turn, made the story feel choppy and there was more than one spot in the one-shot at which I had to reread certain phrases to understand what you were trying to relay. In short, I felt your phrasing was awkward.

Again, I'm sorry if I sound harsh. I really don't mean to be, but the internet tends to make most things sound negative, etc.

Author's Response: Really...thanks so much, I still feel that my word phrasing part is still very weak..I can speak english well -but lack the flow in written english (I am an Indian..so my mother tongue is Hindi) So don\'t worry -I\'m not offended (even if you tried so :D).\r\n\r\nI\'ll surely keep this mind while writing my next story (NewlyWeds), hoping it will be the one which really impresses you....\r\nBut I\'m glad you think that there is indeed a potential over here. I\'ll try to improve my standards..thanks a ton!!

I, too, am surprised that there are scarcely any reviews here! This is probably one of the best fics I've read. Your descriptions are beautiful and I love the way you've revealed Draco's inner turmoil. By not including Ginny's thoughts you've left the reader, or at least me, wondering what Ginny really thinks about their relationship. So again, brilliant!

Author's Response: Thanks to you too! I was trying out a new style, actually, with lots of descriptions and inner turmoil and stuff like that. What Ginny really thinks about their relationship? Ironically enough, the same things Draco thinks. If I *ever* write a sequel, it\'ll be the same events from Ginny\'s POV, to show how they could be happy, actually, if only one of them said what they feel.

Reviewer: amor_quies Signed
Date: Aug 09, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: Somebody to Love

Um, I feel like everything about this first chapter is extremely underdeveloped. None of the characters are acting accordingly to canon (if that's what you're going for) and because of that I feel like there is no dimension to anyone. No way Molly Weasley would have passed off the law so nonchalantly, especially where Ginny is concerned. Furthermore, I feel like the Ministry's Law that you've evoked to tie D/G together could use some solid reasoning that convinces the reader that it really is necessary because, quite frankly, it's not. Something like this would cause civil outrage amongst most of the wizarding population, not to mention the ethics that are brought into question. Yes, I know that this is fiction, but I feel that as an author you owe it to your readers to make them see that this is necessary instead of just slapping us in the face with a letter and Mrs. Weasley's passive acceptance of it. Furthermore, I believe that you could use some descriptive elements in your story to make your readers feel more empathy for the characters...describe facial expressions or something.

I apologize if this is your first attempt at writing fiction. If so, I don't mean for this to sound so harsh. I merely mean it as constructive criticism and I believe that honesty is what helps people grow.

Author's Response: The reason that Mrs. Weasley isn\'t completely outraged is that I don\'t think of her as someone who overreacts. Keep in mind that I wrote this before DH came out, so I didn\'t know about her attacking Bellatrix yet. Plus I like to keep the overreactions for Ron. Sorry about the underdeveloped-ness, I promise that it will go into more detail soon. I had this idea and I had to get it down before I lost it. Also, I had a lot of couples I needed to match up. Thanks for the tips about helping my story, I really appreciate it.

Reviewer: amor_quies Signed
Date: Aug 11, 2007 Title: Chapter 2: Separate Ways

I agree with CourtneyFaith. I recognize some of the suggestions I made that you've begun to incorporate into this fic, like Mrs. Weasley's begrudging acceptance of the law. Whereas in the first chapter I felt she was all "Oh, there's nothing we can do about it," I was pleased to see that there is some concern in her about the law. I like that Mr. Weasley had a stronger reaction, which of course we've seen in CoS.

I still think that you could incorporate some more character development. I believe that would make the story seem less fast-paced (unless that's what you're going for) and more realistic. Also, while it was noble of Draco to ask Ginny's father for permission, I don't think he would have done it quite so suddenly. Again, this is probably a result of the fic's fast pace.

As a side note, Snape/Hermione still makes me squicky, but if that's what you want...go for it? Heh.
