It took me forever to review, but I love this one. :) Poor Ginny, stuck with nothing but chocolate in the middle of nowhere. (Really... I can't have chocolate, and if somebody did that to me, I would NOT be happy.) But I think she got over it pretty quickly. I always write Lucius as the devil incarnate... sorry, I can't do it any other way and it always turns out like that... but I think that Draco did love his mother, and this is the reaction he would have to her death. And the last one was just cute. :)
Author's Response: Thanks for the review, lovely! I'm glad you enjoyed these. :)

This was really funny, but I don't think I'd say that it was fluffy. No matter how happy the ending is, this Draco and Ginny have a lot... a LOT... to work out between them. Hopefully, they'll get there! :)
Author's Response: Anyone who disagrees that DG will always have issues should not be writing them, heh.

I loved this chapter... especially the memory involving kisses and broken noses! Intriguing, too, that you never reveal why Ginny is dying. Is it old age? Or is she much younger and did something happen? Does Draco feel guilty about it? What? It's left open, which allows the reader to imagine...
Author's Response: :) I decided on the backstory before writing this, but I decided not to include it because I thought it didn't matter to the story and for this challenge I was on a word limit! I will tell you, since you asked, that she was just very old. There was no guilt, but Draco just never thought that he was really good enough for her. Thanks, as always, for the lovely review!

Oo, I love this chapter! Almost all D/G fights are written with a foregone conclusion-- they're going to make up and get back together. But this one doesn't read that way at all. We really don't know if their relationship can come back from this point. Will Draco ever be able to *show* Ginny that he respects her, rather than just saying it at a crucial point in a fight between them? Can he actually get his feelings out in a constructive way? It's impossible to say.
Author's Response: Thanks! A few people on FFNet criticised that the ending was so open, so I am really glad that you were able to appreciate that I left it that way.

Awww they're fighting! :( But I just love how Ginny pointed out what she wants from Draco. Not being too emotional or just complying with Draco's attitude. Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked ;)

You know what really struck me about this? Part 1 and Part 2 could be the beginning and end of the same story. I wonder if you meant it to read that way... As time went by, Draco could just not admit that he loved Ginny, so she ended up planning to marry someone else.
I think a big part of what makes D/G so compelling is that out of all of the Draco ships in existence (that aren't actually canon), it's the only one that feels realistic. I've read some very well-written D/H, D/Hr, etc., but it just never feels like a pairing that could actually happen, given who these characters are. The thing about D/G is that it always feels as if either would be a spectacular success or a horrendous failure. So these ficlets could be seen as the two halves of that failure, and as readers, we can feel exactly why it would turn out that way. More soon, I hope! :)
Author's Response: I actually did not intend for it to turn out that way; however, I am really glad that they do appear to go together. It does make sense now that I think about it.
I completely agree with you. They are the epitome of "opposites attract," and while that makes for an interesting relationship, it also makes for an explosive one. I can't imagine writing Draco with anyone else, to be honest, because it just wouldn't be that interesting. I'm glad you were able to feel that emotion between these two parts. I am going to submit the next chapter soon, though. I promise :)

Ooh my heart burst when she kissed him! I knew she wouldn't be able to resist it... Lol! So looking forward to the rest of it!
Author's Response: Oh, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed these. I'll post the next one soon. :)
