You know what got me? When he said "I want to find a way I can keep you". ^_^
Nice fic!
Very interesting. I quite liked the GInny-Hermione convo at the Burrow. Nice.
Woah, quick time passsing, batman!
But yeah... happy the war didn't last long!
I really like this beginning. I think their banter was very nice. Very real.
Thank you for this wonderful story-it was very touching. I love Ginny's thoughts and words, they seem very real.
hey,
well i did this before but i think there was some weird glitch or something.
anyways,i just wanted to apologize for this really nasty review i wrote u. i'm really ashamed of myself and i hope u can just forget it.
Good story! Although I have one suggestion- at the end, it ended REALLY abruptly. And instead of kissing on the cheek, I would have had a quick peck on the lips. Just cuz the kiss on the cheek seems more friendly and makes me wonder. . if they really love each other. And obviously they do and everything, but just saying. But good job!
Just lovely. I was sitting here, hesitant to leave a review because I really couldn't capture my response to this story in a coherent fashion. Then I realized what I loved about it so much. It is your Emily Dickinson like economy of words. Every word has a specific use, a meaning, and a purpose in this fic. It is the masterful understatement that drew me in and held me, tight, throughout the whole beautiful, angst ridden tale. Your Ginny feels very close to cannon to me, falling for such a tortured and eventually broken Draco, and being willing to give up everything for what shreds of a relationship remain. I also appreciate the fact that this fic rides on its own through the strength of your weaving and writing alone. There are no unexpected plot twists or unbelievable happenings or supernatural occurences. It's a simple but stunningly choreographed old-fashioned love story. Those are the kinds I love the best. The epilogue was well done. I especially loved the poignant closing scene. I'm also glad you wrote the epilogue because it allowed me the opportunity to catch this wonderful fic the second time around. I can't believe I missed it on its first go round. Thanks for the opportunity to share my thoughts. Hope to hear more from you in the future.
Author's Response: I...don't deserve that review. I really don't. I'm not that good. I wish I was! But I'm not. But I can't help saving it and re-reading it again and again. I am glad, though, that you notice my careful word choice - the epilogue took me weeks and weeks to write because I wouldn't settle on one word or phrase, I had to find exactly the one I meant. It's good to know that effort didn't go to waste. Thank you for something I don't deserve, but trust me, am valuing (guiltily) anyway.
That was quite good. Write the epilogue. I'd like to read it.
Author's Response: Heheh, just put up!
I absolutely loved it. Epilogue! Epilogue! Great work, especially for your first D/G story.
Lovely story!! I can definitely empathize with your need to write about 'Rising From the Ashes'... and you did a simlply wonderful job. Cheers!
Its brilliant. I love it. One of my favorites. I hope you write an epilouge(or however you spell it). You could even make a sequel.
Hey, you brought it over! I told you everyone would like it here. It really is a lovely story! And yet again, I'd love an epilogue, and any future D/G stories you might write *hint* *hint*. - The Lovely Lioness
I really enjoyed your story. I would definitely look forward to reading a epilogue. Thank you for writing.
WoW! Loved the whole thing..and an epilouge would be great!! Great Writing.
wow.i loved that.
As an answer to you idea about an epilog...yes. =D
Yes, I'd fancy an epilogue, and yes, I would definitely read it. :) You've such a lovely story here, good job. I hope Ginevra's family comes to grips with Draco in the Epilogque, shall they? Great story!
I like.. I like a lot. I would have written it as a one shot and made it long. Very well written, clear, and the trap door idea was brilliant. :)
Thats so sad! Is there going to be another chapter? Because, they're so in love with eachother, I mean a year and a half, wow!
Author's Response: Thanks for reading! I'm working on the epilogue now.
