So I'm going to leave a review before my laptop decides it doesn't want to connect to the site! :) I'm up to around Chapter 10, listening to the fic on @Voice at work (there's a voice on this app that sounds EXACTLY like Draco, so it's perfect.) Basically... this is great, great stuff. Draco and Ginny are absolutely spot on, Draco especially. This is completely the way he'd actually be at this point-- a little snotty, more than a little entitled, very sure of himself in the most obvious ways, and yet so utterly haunted by his past. At one moment, he's self-confident as could be; at the next, he's suicidal. This really is one of the most complex Dracos I can remember reading at all recently.
I think that years of reading D/G fic can make us forget just how difficult it would be for this pair if they really got together, and the number of obstacles they'd need to overcome. This fic is so grounded that it forces the reader to face all of the problems standing in Draco and Ginny's way, the thorniest parts of their own personalities not the least of them. It's fascinating, because in one way, they got close very quickly, but in all the other ways besides the purely physical, it's taking a lot of time (which is exactly how it would need to happen. You know, in the alternate universe where D/G is real.) They've already gotten it past the point that I was ever able to get to with those relationships that start off with an amazing physical connection. It's really hard for those to go further-- they usually last a couple of months and that's it-- but Draco and Ginny are really managing to pull it off. But it makes sense that their own issues and even the disapproval of family and friends wouldn't be all they need to handle. Draco's past was always going to come back to intrude into the present. I'm headed onwards to listen to more chapters tomorrow... really looking forward to finding out more about how the plot develops!! So, more reviews soon...

Here only because of your story and in the hope of an update from you. You have no idea how much it enthralls me that a single person (not a team of creative minds) could come up with such impeccable creative and thoroughly entertaining roller coaster of a drive. Kudos. You deserve all the accolades and recognition.

Ugh! So hard for me to read these sad chapters. But am I sensing or just wanting very badly for some foreshadowing? A girl can hope. Can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: I can't answer any question you have. But I promise the next chapter will bring you a lot of answers (and some more questions lol)! I'm glad you're enjoying the story so far!

Delicious beginning. That study scene harkens back to Kiera Knightly and James McAvoy in the library in Atonement...and I don't hate it.
*fans self*
Author's Response: OMG! I hadn't thought of the Atonement scene while writing this, but looking back I can see the similarities. I don't hate it too! Lol
Thank you for the review. I hope you'll like the rest of the story as well!

Really enjoying this story so far. I like that you've made their characters both extremely likable, and not too extreme. Can't wait to see what happens next! :)
Author's Response: It was my intention to try and stay true to both Ginny's and Draco's basic traits (such as the fact that she's quite independent and fiery, and that he's a proud man who hides his many insecurities behind his arrogance).
I am glad you're liking them so far and hope that you'll continue to do so! Thank you! :)

Imagine my delight when I saw a second chapter!!! I love the pace and there were some moments where I sense more stories will develop from it and I can't wait! I am looking forward to how their relationship develops.
Author's Response: Their relationship is so much fun to explore. You'll be getting to know a lot more about both of them, individually and together so stay tuned!! And thank you so much for the review!

Ok. Ok. Yea. I am *begging you* on my knees pleeeeeaaaaaassssseeeeeee pleeasssee PLEASE to continue this!
Yea it could stand alone but WHY would you let this type of greatness just remain stagnant? Why?!
The characterization was fantastic, the plot was beautifully detailed to pull you in but not over the top where I had to skip over descriptions of something, the elegance of it all was breathtaking and believe you me I don’t speak French but I laughed out loud on public transit when I read grand mere. I truly did not see that coming. What a joy.
I’m gonna track this story and wait in silence until there’s an update. Kay cool thanks. :)
Author's Response: Awww thank you so much! :)
And no need to beg, I have decided to continue the story and have posted the second chapter already. I'm working on the third, which might take a few days. But I'm glad you liked the story so far and I hope you continue to like it. Let me know!

Ginny as a Quidditch player is my fave Post-Hogwarts Ginny. I also like your characterisation of Draco – he's got potential. Girl, I'm tracking this story and crossing my fingers the plot bunnies come back with more chapters!
Author's Response: I totally love Quidditch player Ginny as well. And I'm trying my best to stay as close to the canon while obviously diverting from it for this story (Wow, that sounds crazy, but I'm sure you get what I mean!). I'm glad you liked it so far and the plot bunnies did indeed come to me and insisted that I keep writing. The next chapter is now up! :)
