Not Quite Fate by Hearts Cadence    (Reviews - 933)

*COMPLETE* Destiny knew better than to bring these two together. One man, determined to draw back an errant Malfoy, is not so wise, and Ginny soon finds herself caught up in events that are not quite Fate.

Fantastic as usual. I just found this story yesterday, completely by accident. I loved Misconceptions and recently read the whole thing over again (much to my mother's dismay... I didn't get 'round to doing the house work as she had wanted me to), so I was naturally ecstatic when I saw that you had a new story up.

It''s really interesting to see the interaction between Pierce and Draco. It seems as though Draco knows that something is going on (though it could just be his instinctively suspicious nature) and it's going to be quite fun to watch him try to sort it out.

The bit with Pansy and Draco was quite interesting as well. I do hope we will eventually find out precisely what went on during the summer that made him change his mind.

Do keep writing more chapters!

I just read most of the story in one go. I started reading it ages ago but for some reason, that I don't even remember, I stopped. Well, I decided to start all over again and I'm really glad I did, It's a fantastic story and I love the psycological bits of it. Not to mention I really like the way you write the dialogue and such between Ginny and Draco.

I can't wait to find out what Pierce eventually decides to do and it will be interesting to see how Ginny and Draco make it out over the hols. How much longer is Ginny going to be completely clueless. It seems that she's the only one who doesn't know that Draco is mad about her. And I LOVE Nott and I'm really interested to see precisely how he fits into it all. I do hope that the next chapter comes to you quickly! Good luck with the writing!

Well you can't just have them jump in bed together the first time they kiss. That would be a bit odd. So the skittishness on ginny's part was to be expected. I can't wait until the next chapter!

Great chapter, though a bit shorter than the rest. When do we find out what happens to Naomi and Pierce? Well, I suppose "later" will be the answer, but I do hope it is soon. So very Slytherin of Snape to leave out a few very important details just to suit his purposes. It shall be interesting to see what happens in the next few chapters... :) kepp up the fantastic writing!

I wonder if Pierce noticed that Ginny had no broom with her. Do they always leave them in the shed? Just a thought. I can't remember if she keeps it in the shed or in her rom. I suppose I shall have to read back.

Draco really needs to teach her how to mask her thoughts. It would really help her in the long run if people couldn't read her like a book. Though at the moment what I am most interested in is what Nott is up to. He seemed like an interesting character before and he is just getting more and more interesting as the story progresses. Anyway.... Happy writing!

It was fantastic as usual. And a perfect way to start the day. I would have read it yesterday, but I couldn't get at the computer all day. I do hope there is more Nott in the next chapter, I find him most interesting.

lovely chapter as always. I love Nott's character, he's fascinating. I do hope the next chapter will be up sometime soon. Good luck with the writing!

I really liked this chapter. Though I can't say I liked McGonagall's reaction, though it did seem more real than other ones I've seen in other stories. I'll be fine, as long as Draco gets out in the end :) Can't make it too easy for them all.

Reviewer: Kalira Signed

It was lovely, as usual. And I can't wait for the next chapter. Hopefully there will be more Nott in it? I love him dearly! He's quite hilarious.

To be perfectly honest it made a good final chapter. We all know what's going to happen, so you really don't have to spell it out for us. As little as I like admitting it (for I would love it if you wrote scads more). I think it would be a smidge anti-climactic if you wrote more for it. Pour more time into the other stories?

I thought it was quite good. Draco was exactly as he ought to be and it was hilarious to see Ginny's reactions to Draco being difficult. I really liked the part out on the pitch when Ginny asks Blaise to help her restrain Harry and he sighs. I thought it was really amusing.

It made a really good one-shot and I honestly wouldn't want you to write more chapters for it (Not because I didn't like it, but because it stood alone quite well). Do keep writing for NQF, I can't wait for the next chapter.

How intriguing. I really like this story and I'm never quite sure what you're going to do next.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I'm not always sure what I'm going to do next either :D

Reviewer: Kalira Signed
Date: Jul 21, 2009 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter Nine

Hmmm. I suppose it's sort of good that she knows what happened to Blaise now. It'll let her begin to let go. I hope.

Author's Response: Yes, I think you'll find she focuses a lot less on Blaise from now on, trying not to think about him, anyway. Of course now there's Ron who has disappeared/may be dead.

Reviewer: Kalira Signed
Date: Jul 22, 2009 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter Ten

A little angst here and there s good, makes the story more real and less total fluff. Besides, angst is only bad if there's no basis for it, and god knows there's been enough to angst about in the last few chapters. I've liked them, the chapters that is.

Author's Response: Yes, I agree, it creates conflict for the characters. I always feel like I should apologize because I've really had people complain before, but then, as you pointed out, this is not intended to be a fluffy fic (although a few fluffy moments here and there are always good :D). Thanks for the review!

Haha I kinda love Pansy... abrupt and not at all friendly but oh she's entertaining. That and the way she and Tracy got Ginny all defensive about hanging around Slytherins was hilarious.

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked Pansy; I enjoy writing her very much. Actually I love writing almost any Slytherin :D Thanks for the review, glad you liked it!

Reviewer: Kalira Signed
Date: Jul 29, 2009 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter Twelve

It's a silly little detail but... it's Astoria with an o not Asteria.

I really like the way you're writing Pansy. I love that she's blunt and very Slytheriny without being an awful person. That and I'm amused to see her slip up and actually say something nice about another person.

Author's Response: I love writing Pansy, she's so much fun. So much, in fact, that I'm using her more in this fic than I intended to :)

Red by goddess_of_ether    (Reviews - 128)

When Ginny Weasley made her fashion empire, she and Draco Malfoy broke up under less-than-favorable conditions (a flying cup of hot tea was involved). Now, he's worming his way back into her life and her business, and he's determined to win her heart. Ginny, however, is not risking it again after he broke it once before . . . But when Narcissa Malfoy gets personally involved and decides that a close working relationship for a charity benefit is the best way to get them back together, sparks fly, not all of them potentially lethal.

Grand. I shall be eagerly awaiting the updates. I, and I assume everyone else, want to know what precisely went on and why Rosemary knows about the mark.

Author's Response: Well, I can\'t guarantee an explanation in the next chapter . . . but I can guarantee that there will be one!

Reviewer: Kalira Signed
Date: Jan 23, 2007 Title: Chapter 5: The SDAUC Benefit: Part I

Lovely as usual. Though perhaps there will be a bit more D/G interaction in the next chapter. Though I thought that Narcissa's manuevering was hilarious!

Author's Response: I thought about more D/G, but I was on a roll, and I wanted to post the chapter as soon as possible . . . so I didn\'t. But rest assured, more witty banter lies ahead in SDAUC Part II.

A Tale of Two Matchmakers by Kerichi    (Reviews - 524)

Romance for three couples when Blaise and Luna use Shakespearean styled matchmaking to hook up Ginny and Draco. There's Much Ado about...something!

Nominated for a Quicksilver Quill award for Best Romance- Non Canon on Mugglenet

* Written before the HBP, this tale presents an alternate sixth year in which Dumbledore lives, Draco is more than a foil to Harry, and Blaise Zabini is a girl. I hope readers who ship Draco/Ginny will enjoy the story which includes dancing with faeries, Celtic and Norse mythology, school holidays in London and Spain, and loads of fantasy and romance. "Is this a kissing book?" (to quote the Princess Bride) Yes, it is.*

heh... I read this many many times on ffnet. I even downloaded it into a word doc on my computer so I could reread it without going online. It is most definitely one of my favorites, right up there with everything by Davesmom. Are you going to write anything else new? I read the other reviews and I have to admit that I also watch Henry V for Branagh, Much Ado About Nothing as well (my favorite!).

Anyway, the story is just as fabulous as it was the last three times I read it. I love the mesch of Shakespeare, the Princess Bride and my favorite ship... D/G. Though I did become a huge fan of Luna/Wesley... keep up the writing!

Author's Response: That\'s so nice of you to say! Thanks so much. ^_^ I am planning on writing a Matchmakers Christmas reunion story to show what happens *after*, but I\'ve been kept so busy writing a Remus/Tonks series I haven\'t had time for another D/G story. This one, I loved so much, I had to go back and correct things, make it shiny, and nothing spurs like having to meet high standards on a site like this one, lol.

Grand as usual. It's will be interesting to watch their relationship, as Ginny like to call it, as it progresses. The pitfalls are likely to be the funniest though. Do keep writing more chapters, it's really lovely to find an update email in my box so often. I hope the plot bunnies stay with you. :)

Author's Response: Thank you. I try to keep the plot bunnies in line, but they hop off in odd directions.
