She's Plotting Our Downfall by Mourning Broken Angel    (Reviews - 29)

*Parody* Ever wonder what would happen if the Harry Potter characters stumbled across a copy of 'Downfall'? How would they react to the extraordinarily unlikely and cliched situations I've thrust them into? PG13 for language and implied sexual situations

So is this story still on? I like it, makes me laugh. I like downfall too. Keep writing. Ta.

Author's Response: Still on, but at a very low simmer on the back burner. :p

I\'ll get it revived as soon as I have Downfall completed, but I\'m thrilled that it can still make people laugh.

Along Came A Wizard by fallenwitch    (Reviews - 642)

A bet, a wanted witch, and a magical contract land Draco in a most unexpected situation. Can his Slytherin soul survive intact or will he succumb to one redheaded witch in bondage? Snarky humor, romance, and a pinch of angst. “I don’t want it. I didn’t order it. Now leave me the fuck alone.” He slammed the door closed. Only it didn’t close due to the enormous boot wedged into its threshold. One loud grunt later and it flung back open, almost hitting him in the face. Draco reflexively leaned back, and that’s when she was thrust into his unsuspecting arms.

Oh, crap! Excuse the language. Is that the END? No, it can't be. And is she going to DIE? No... pleeeease no? I shall remain in denial until the next installment.

In other news, that was lovely and heartwrenching as usual, thank you.

Quote: "A tense silence overtook the room and the two wizards, bound by the love of the same woman, sat in the pink chairs in her room ingesting Firewhiskey and staring at one another."

Deny by Black Alnair    (Reviews - 20)

One-shot. The war has finally ended, but there are still entanglements to work out, especially between Draco Malfoy and Ginny Weasley.

Yay, an update!

Loved Draco and Blaise's drunken conversation (i love their whole relationship in general)...

“Did that hurt?” Blaise asked.

“I wouldn’t recommend trying it.”

LOL.

The Devil You Know by CCC    (Reviews - 1004)

Ginny is twenty four, and the war rages on. Draco is a Death Eater, and he needs her help. Of course, he doesn't give her a choice. Now she's surrounded by the enemy. She begins to see that not everything is black and white. Can she come to terms with her new role in his life?

June Fifth by antidote    (Reviews - 33)

Even as I gaped in horror, Ginny emitted a happy giggle, one that I had not heard in years. How had none of us noticed? How much more to their story was there?

That was lovely on the whole. I suppose you were going for a quite elusive/mysterious style, and I think you achieved that with the right amount of pulling of loose strings at the end.

The only thing that bothered me significantly was how Hermione could possibly have stumbled upon Draco and Ginny in the middle of the night. I mean, considering all the animosity between the couple and the Weasleys (I include Hermione in the Weasleys) why would Draco and Ginny be all cuddly in the living room of a house full of them? Especially when they have their own flat/house. Sorry, that detail irked me. But other than that, beautiful.

Author's Response: Thank you! Well, not elusive per se, but ambiguity was likely a chunk of it - I like giving readers the freedom to roam. Yes, that's been questioned before, and I don't really have a definite explanation for it. War, family get-together, necessity, and many others could have caused for them to be holed up in Grimmauld Place together, and you may interpret it as you want. However, now that so many have mentioned the instances that don't tie ends, I may revise slightly to offer more stable ideas.

Not This Time by antidote    (Reviews - 53)

A knock sounded at her door, and Ginny smiled slightly. Five years of absolute closeness, yet Draco refused to be ‘vulgar.’ Knocking on the door, he said, was more honorable than simply bursting into her home or appearing in her fireplace. Giving her the privacy she needed, he said, was more upstanding than forcing his company on her when unwanted.

I love how the broken/fragmented way you write reflects the brokenness of the two characters. Nicely done.

So is this the end? Or do we get a nice little sure happy ending. Isn't Jaret still on the loose?

Author's Response: I love that you took to it on such a deep level! I wasn't sure if anyone would see it that way, but thank you for your vigilant review! Ha! I'm not sure that there will be anything else to the story, since I wanted to leave the ending ambiguous. Jaret can be wherever you wish for him to be, but I didn't want to linger on him when there was some much DG waiting out there! Thank you for your response!

The Story by antidote    (Reviews - 12)

I push away from the bed, or it pushes me away, and I grip my chair. My eyes don’t leave Draco’s thin face, and I marvel at the silvery white of his hair and eyebrows and eyelashes, itching to touch them, but death won’t allow me; I have respect for the dead.

That was lovely. Thank you for that. So sad. One really feels Ginny's pain.

Author's Response: Aw, you're welcome! I'm glad you can feel it, because it's definitely there. Thanks for the review!

Awww, come on... please say your not leaving that as it is. You've just set up an awesome D/G relationship that could definetly do with a follow through and abit of a wrapping up.

That aside, it was lovely. Like I said, their relationship and obvious dependance on each other was nice to see. (It's like their still both in a state of denial about their feelings... they should jump that emotional hurdle... in a sequel... by you...) ;)

The Love Beetle by sheriden    (Reviews - 14)

His hair is as yellow as a ‘70s Beetle.

His eyes are as gray as cement.

He’s not really daft, and he makes her laugh.

(But her poetry makes him lament.)

One-shot.
