Hesperides' Apple by ogygiasylph    (Reviews - 871)

When Ginny Weasley becomes Draco Malfoy's wife, he suspects neither her true identity nor her dangerous motives. But when all Hell breaks lose and their relationship takes unexpected turns, there is more at stake than preserving their marriage--namely, preserving their lives.

YES! Thankyou sooooo much for posting! I'd had a long, stressful week, and reading this story seemed like heaven. I'm so glad that the relationship between D and G are developing- Don't you hate it when sometimes, after twenty chapters, they still hate eachother? Fabulous job! I'm totally looking forward to your next installment.

Author's Response: I\'m glad to have helped ease your stress. *ducks head* Hating each other after twenty chapters? You haven\'t read \'Downfall\', I take it, have you? Oh well, \'Downfall\' is my happy cliche fic anyways. :D

I am wishing with all my heart that you will post the next chapter of this wonderful fic! Pleeaase.
I think this is one of the most utterly enjoyable fics I've read in a long time - your voice and the whole story just flows together continuously and perfectly. It's incredible. Please update. :)

Hey! I just wanted to drop a note on how much I admire your writing and love this story. Please don't forget about it! I would adore an update.

Hmmm... the story was good. I must admit I was a bit relieved to find that he was actually married to her, instead of shagging a random girl-in-crowd. I don't like those stories much... Anyways, what's going to happen next? I'm very very curious. It seems like that the story would just end here... wouldn't it?

Red by goddess_of_ether    (Reviews - 128)

When Ginny Weasley made her fashion empire, she and Draco Malfoy broke up under less-than-favorable conditions (a flying cup of hot tea was involved). Now, he's worming his way back into her life and her business, and he's determined to win her heart. Ginny, however, is not risking it again after he broke it once before . . . But when Narcissa Malfoy gets personally involved and decides that a close working relationship for a charity benefit is the best way to get them back together, sparks fly, not all of them potentially lethal.

Wow, I'm... I'm hooked! Really wonderful first chapter! I usually don't review a story until I read the whole thing, but I just had to on this one! The plot is predictable, but what I love is that you add the fresh twist of Ginny's independance in having her own company. Minor error - photo articles in magazines are called 'spreads' not 'spreadings'.

Author's Response: Whoopsie-daisy. You would like that a newspaper editor would totally avoid that . . . but whatever! Thanks for the tip-off, and hopefully I\'ll get my creative drive back on track soon.

It is three years after the war has ended; five years after Dumbledore's death. Harry is invited to a wedding where he sees all the people he has been studiously ignoring for all this time.


Just some D/G Harry bashing(ish)

Love the title. When I first saw it I nearly spat in my drink. 'Very Tall Cliff' and 'Very Nasty Curses'... hilarious, this is genius .It does remind me a little of A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Author's Response: Aaw cheers!! Random Capitalization is my Thing... I love Lemony Snicket, so it\'s not impossible that he\'s an influence. Thanks for your review!

Date: Jun 17, 2007 Title: Chapter 2: Draco's Very Bad Day

... Draco's ego does not seem small either... Um, why is Hermione his best friend, and why is he so reluctant to attend it? The idea of Minerva and Ernie is as disturbing as it is funny. Great job!

Author's Response: Draco will never be outdone by Harry, that\'s for certain... Now, you\'ve got to know that Neville said Draco was *Hermione\'s* best friend, not the other way round... besides, Draco needed his beauty sleep. Can you even imagine him attending a (relatively) public event without looking at least five times better than anyone else? Cheers for your review :)

Date: Jun 17, 2007 Title: Chapter 3: Gnomes, Rescuer Extrordinaires, and a Dance or Two.

Ginny is nice, although there was none of that fiery, brutally honest,passionate think that I love about her. She seemed, well, mellow, and rather too naive to be with Draco.

Author's Response: That\'s just one charactrerization of her... and of course she\'s feeling mellow. She just watched her brother and her best friend get married... It\'s hardly necessary to make a huge scene, and with my characterization, she\'s a very forgiving person. She would have needed to be to give Draco a second chance anyway... Maybe she is naive, but Draco\'s allowed to like that too...

Date: Feb 08, 2007 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21

Hi! This is a great story! I have kind of a constructive criticism, and kind of a question too.

Your story's titled The Dangers of Mistletoe, and it's great, but now that D and G are actually together, it seems like it's not relevant to the mistletoe or anything anymore. Like, it kinda starts out as a christmas fic, and now it's... something else! I think that it would make more sense if these last few chapters (after they start dating) are a part of a sequel. It's still a great story, but it just seems like a different story, ya know? Don't be offended plz, I love this! Thx, ZSF

Author's Response: When I started this, I had no idea how long it would be. I think I'll end it after Draco makes his choice on the 21st, and then anything after that will be a sequel. : )

Great chapter! The cowboy thing gave me quite a few laughs. And to think that Hermione gets Cosmo...

"I'm suddenly feeling much more kindly towards Muggles." ...See? Ginny's having a good influence on him! Even if it is acheived through sexual favors, hee hee.

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for the review.

Redeeming the Dragon by thelovinspoonful    (Reviews - 349)

"Perhaps it really didn't matter what he was, perhaps it just mattered that he was." Unexpected events lead to unexpected relationships. Can one person be so important to the destruction of Voldemort? Nothing happens by chance, but sometimes, life might be simpler if it did.

Wow, this is such a good story! I love how you incorporated D/G while following JK's plot. Also, Draco's not helpless and weak, and he's no knight in shining armour either (though that scene when he held her was definitely something). Good job!

Author's Response: Thank you! It sounds cheesy, but I've always kind of thought Draco is like a cornered animal - he doesn't really have anywhere to go, so he lashes out to get what he needs to get done. Now he has a bit of room to move, and well, this is how I think he would play things.

Date: Apr 30, 2007 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 9: Butter Dishes

I'm so happy that you updated! Thankyou! Moody is a Slytherin? That came as a surprise, although it does make tons of sense. Wow, is Draco going soft for Ginny or what? Thank goodness for counter-pressing and the sports pages! Their interaction is so amusing and natural, and you can tell that they
're in the early stages of a crush
(or something... more). As much as they've been through, they are still awkward teenagers!

Author's Response: Haha. No problem. Yes, Moody is a Slytherin. I\'m trying to control the \'going soft factor\'... sometimes I can\'t help myself. Thanks for the review!

This story rocks my socks, and I love you so much every time you update, I would willingly make you tea. I love the idea of 'Draco going soft for a girl' and how, to his absolute horror, Hermione likes him. It's amusing and endearing. Great job!

LOVE IT! Draco's really proving his innocence to Ginny here. Thank goodness that Harry's such a prat or Draco might never have some serious 'alone time' with her. Great job, keep up the awesome writing!

Author's Response: Thank you for the review! (And yes. Harry\'s prat-ness does come in handy sometimes, doesn\'t it?)

Date: Jul 16, 2007 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 13: Handkerchief

I liked it! I thought that Ron was very sweet, but still in character, at the begining. Draco was too. I really love how you push the characters to their limits - Draco the hanky and all - but still they're canon. Great job! Poor Percy, but at least Ginny's got Draco - what will Mrs. W do?

Author's Response: THank you for the review!  I'm glad you think Ron handled the situation well.  It's nice to see that prat brothers can grow up, isn't it?  And I love Draco the hanky.  He might just be my favorite yet.

Hey, wow, I didn't know that you were posting on this site! Now I don't have to go back and forth between ff.net and this one!
Well, I've reviewed for this chap before but I guess I'll do it again. Great chapter! This is one of my favorites! Ginny wakes up with a bang, hee hee.
Oh, the illustrations are actually coming. Quite slowly, but what can I say? I haven't really found time to fully sit down and illustrate. I've done two sketches for the scene when Ginny wakes up in Draco's arms (as seen in this chap), but they're not done... Which reminds me, I need a new scanner.
Okay, I think I'll stop babbling now. Great job as always!

Author's Response: Hi! Yeah, I'm kind of sick of switching between the two sites as well, so I decided to just post it here to make life easier. Thanks a lot for leaving a review-- I always like hearing from you! I must say, I'm *SO* excited about the illustrations! I can't thank you enough, honestly! I know how time restraints go, so take as much time as you need. It sounds like you've got a wonderful start! Thanks once more, and can't wait to hear from you again!

The Infirmary by Persephone33    (Reviews - 69)

What happens when a potions explosion coincides with Ginny's annual, self-imposed trip to the infirmary? Sometimes when you don't know who you're talking to, prejudices are laid aside, and you get to know the person behind the family. This is a response to the November challenge of "infirmary" on the FIA forums.
