I am a diehard DG fanatic, and an over-worked college student. Though I haven't yet grown the balls necessary to post my own work, I have read and beta'd so much DG and Harry Potter fanfic over the last three years, that I would consider myself a true fandom proficient. When not slaving over my Potter obsession, I enjoy all water sports, running, and getting my groove on with my friends at the tackiest clubs we can find. My real name IS actually Ginevra (though you won't be the first person not to believe me)...and unlike our beloved Ginny, my family does actually use my full name. Though I have dark brown hair, and look nothing like Ms Weasley, my boyfriend is unbelievably fair-haired...and kind of snarky from time to time.

Ha ha ha! I just love Ginny. This story is great, and you've really taken your time in setting up the background. Obviously there are lots of stories where Ginny gets pregnant, then forced to marry, etc. but yours has a really fresh and very believable air about it. Well done, and please update soon!!!

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...

I read the prequel to this piece, and loved the way that you set up Ginny and Draco's relationship. I feel that they are difficult characters to place together in a relationship, and keep in relative canon. The aknowledgement of all of the difficulties is important, and the fact that their love is unconventional perfectly reflects how unconventional a pair they are. I've been a DG fan for a long time, but this story to me is really the essence of what they are all about. I decided to leave a review partly because I so avidly agree with your characterizations, but also because I found the last chapter so wonderfully romantic. It is easy for authors to laden the reader with lots of "fluffy" moments too early on, but you really space out the romance, making it feel painfully correct and heartbreakingly adorable. Keep up the amazing, amazing work.

Author's Response: I feel the same - I originally started writing this to convince a D/G-sceptic friend of mine that they could work as a couple *g* So I tried really hard to keep this realistic. Sometimes it makes for a slow story, because obstacles keep coming up, so I'm glad you're enjoying the pacing and the progress the two of them are making :) Thank you so much, I appreciate your comments!

Vivre by Extreme Dancer    (Reviews - 250)

What do you do when the one you love is no longer there? How do you keep going when you’re left to raise three children by yourself? No character death.

Awwwww!!! This is so painfully adorable! Poor Ginny, though, having to wait so long, and go through an entire pregnancy and birth without her husband. I'm glad Draco's back. BTW the naming thing in the previous chapters was really creative. I agree that Alexavier is a beautiful name, and Laurence is as well. Though in that case I'm a bit prejudiced, as Laurence is also my middle name. Great story!

Secrets. Children. Lies. Dark Arts. Dark Marks. Love. Lives Lost. Nobody ever said that Ginny and Draco would have an easy relationship.
