Hiya. I'm Jandy. I've been here practically forever. I spend most of my time on tumblr now - don't really even read much HP fic. But if you're still here reading - I love you. And I'm also over on Ao3 reading and reviewing like I've always done. I hope you're curating your fandom experience in a way that makes you happy. Much love to you all! :*

My Anything by Eienvine    (Reviews - 363)

It's an old spell and an older oath, and Draco Malfoy would have laughed them off were he not in his present situation. Things being as they are, however, being married to Ginny Weasley might just be the answer to his problems. Pre-HBP.

Brilliant! Bravo! I ha no idea this fic was here... I've been waiting patiently for updates at FA. THEN, i see that I missed at least 3 updates there and that the whole fic(I assume it's done with this chapter) was here! YAY for happy endings! Thanks for SUCH a great fic!

It was wonderful. I was perfectly content with the last chapter beingthe end... but this epilogue was brilliant. I loved Every thing about it. Particularly Snape and his, "while he normally didn’t care about happily ever afters, he felt sure this was going to be one" Thanks SO much for sharing! ;)

Nobody wins in war. Draco and Ginny build a funeral pyre for their generation, in a nonsensical story of lost love and lost minds full of flames and sky.

An Allusion to Better Days by squaredancer    (Reviews - 47)

Ginny Weasley has it hard. Her rent's due in five days, and she doesn't have a hundred quid to her name. Her latest beau has flown off looking for greener pastures, her boss has retired and been replaced with a nasty bint who could rival Umbridge (or be her cousin) and wizarding society look down on her as nothing but a pawn, someone in between. And to think, once, she had been their everything. He had been their everything. Together, they were everything. But those days were done and dusted, all that was left was a frightening new world of hardships and rainy days without an umbrella.

So sad. She's blind if she couldn't see how he felt! Brilliant! I had read the other 2 chapters, but not the prologue... brilliant! :)

Author's Response: ^_^ If I was Ginny I'd forget Harry and glomp Draco before he could get away. It's probably better I'm not Ginny though. I'd never leave the house (or more specifically, the bedroom :P )

Ooooh now we are getting somewhere... I feel horrible for a drunk-out-of-her-mind Ginny, and want my grey eyed hero to come and save her... Who do we know with Hazel eyes??? This will be very interesting! ;) I was reading over on LJ, but now you've been favourited here... I can check back often for updates! ;) Brilliant! ;)

Author's Response: Coolies, thanks so much for reviewing! You'll find out about Mr. Hazel Eyes in the next chapter, and there's more drunk-out-of-her-mind Ginny and possible Grey-Eyed-Hero-to-Save-Her moments. *smods*

Lost and Found by Mynuet    (Reviews - 31)

No one knew what caused the dragons to start to sicken and die, but they did. Those who cared for them were the damaged, the broken, those who had nothing left for which to brave the world.

And then the Wilder came.

Okay, first of all... if it's Hermione I might just puke. Secondly... I think that it's the Elizabeth person and that this curse is all a clever ruse to see if Draco (our Draco) will be a spineless coward like his predessessor. Great story... ;)

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.

Who the hell did she marry? When offered the choice between marrying some 'no-one' and marrying Draco-I-nearly-shagged-you-but-I-stopped-because-I-can't-take-advantage-of-you-Malfoy -- it's a NO BRAINER! I read it all at once... and now I'm rueing that I have no patience... The fic is Fab!

Author's Response: Hi jandj - Your name for Draco is now my favorite name for him! I\'ve always wondered what his full name was and now I know! Thank you for reading it all at once. It was quite a job! And I\'m so glad you\'re enjoying it! The answer to your question is coming in the next chapter so stay tuned! -fallenwitch

Reviewer: jandjsalmon Signed
Date: Mar 28, 2006 Title: Chapter 12: Balls of Steel

Who the hell is HE shagging? Did I miss it, or did you never mention it? And we all know that Draco will let her come back... he's not completely heartless... even if Ginny seems to be! I'm hoping for a happy resolution... but how many chapters are you thinking? Is this an epic with like 40 or are we relativily close to completion?

now I am utterly and wholly absorbed again.... YAY that your muse returned... I was beginning to be worried girl! Can't wait for now reappeared muse to strike again! YAY to Marcia for kicking your butt... I'll help next time too! ;)

Author's Response: Thanks, Jess. Yeah, I was a little worried too, but the muse has taken up residence again. As for helping Marcia - let me tell you, that woman needs no help - none - zippo. She kicks butt just fine - all by her lonesome - and I\'ve got the black and blue marks to prove it! - fallenwitch

Agh. HOw did I miss this update? I am super glad I clicked on one of my favourite D/G writers tonight to see what you've been up to, miss! I go away on vacation and I miss the chapter where we know Ginny really does love him. Wonderful chapter. Tell that muse of your to pick up her breeches and give you some more material! ;)


Author's Response: Hi Jess! You missed it because I posted it when the site chapter notifications were down. Muse is still in residence. Will update soon! Thanks for stopping by and reviewing. I appreciate it! -fallenwitch

[i]"What kind of love was this? It was an arse-backward, upside-down, inside-out one that left him hanging by his straining toes, scrambling for terra firma where none existed. Was there any other kind?"[/i]

WOW! So So So powerful! Great update. I loved Draco's intensity. I believe Ginny. I hope he truly does now too... and the intruder... interesting... you've got me on the edge of my seat!! Can't wait for more! ;)



Author's Response: Ah, Jess! Glad you found this chapter emotionally evocative. The intruder\'s ID is coming up...soon! Thanks so much for your wonderful review(s). You are the best! -fallenwitch

Date: Sep 26, 2006 Title: Chapter 16: The Supreme Arsehole

Woah! That kiss at the end would have been a cinematic masterpiece! It could see it clearly and it would have been fantastic!

Now, just a few comments:

"He could need her until he fell to the floor blue in the face, dying from a Basilisk bite in the arse, and she would still walk out that door." - Totally brilliant turn of phrase! Brilliant, I tell you! Humorous (I laughed at the bite on the bum) but poignant too!

"What did a wizard have to do? Slay a fucking nation and lay it at her feet?" - THAT'S not asking much, is it?

"If it were about love, it would be simple, wouldn't it?" and then "It is simple, Ginny." SOB! SOB SOB SOB! SO good!

Girl, you keep me coming back every chapter. I just read another chapter of KCOTDT by Anise this morning, and reading this was a nice balance of Draco's. In her fic Draco is on the losing end of the war. Trodden down and having to be parted from Ginny because he's the one imprisoned. Reading ACAW it's very cool to see the other side of Draco. The one who is actually free while Ginny is imprisioned by her marriage to a Bulgarian prat and not free to do what she wants to do.

Yeah - today was a good day - a chapter from two of the best fics on F&I - indeed the best fics out there! ;)

Now I can't wait for yor exchange fic and then more chapters... ;)

Author's Response: Hi Jess. Thank you so much for this stunning review. Yes, semi-eloquent snarky Draco appeals, doesn\'t he? *laughs* Now that the exchange fic is in and nanowrimo is over, I hope to get out another chapter of ACAW soon!!! -fallenwitch

Oh SO SO good. I am intrigued! So, she didn't die... Snape obviously did somehting to help her... but poor, poor, Draco. Can he forgive her for doing this to him? Wait a tic... he'll probably be forced to kill her again... but maybe he'll stand up for her this time... Ohh... SO SO good. Can'twait for the next update! ;)

Author's Response: Thanks! You are the first person to question whether Draco will be able to forgive her for not telling him she\'s alive. We\'ll have to wait and see, but I think he\'ll be pretty mad.
