HA! The plot *really* thickens here.

The most interesting thing about D/G in general, IMHO, is that this relationship allows authors to explore all of the different aspects of their personalities in a way that clearly didn't happen in canon. It's as if these two characters have a chance to become real, to *feel* real, which is what needs to happen in literature (and sometimes doesn't.) Drew and Gwen aren't the same people that Draco and Ginny would have become without memory loss and substantial change in environment. Yet that more passive, more submissive side of Ginny was always there. I think that's why we saw the canon!Ginny who became Harry's gf and apparently learned to live with being ignored and left out of the meaningful parts of his life-- that portrayal wasn't completely unrealistic; it was just a less attractive part of Ginny's character coming out.

Here, we see more of the totality of who Ginny and Draco could have become and did become. But I especially liked this:

Her warm body snuggled beside him was finally taking over his senses. The sleep that he had evaded had caught up to him, and as he closed his eyes and allowed his two separate minds to think freely, he realized that every thought - whether it had originated from Drew's or Draco's way of thinking - began and ended with the woman who was sleeping beside him.

He had to get her back.

Whether Draco or Drew, he still loves her. :) But he has a lot of work to do with her before they get there, I think.
