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.

One of my favourite D/G stories of all time. I started rereading it and was literally unable to stop until I finished. My eyes were bloodshot around 4a.m.! It was completely worth it. You've achieved something very rare by creating original characters that I genuinely care about. I was invested in all the side stories and side characters; with less skilled writers, I might have skipped over anything irrelevant to the main D/G storyline. The banter between your characters is hysterically witty, and I laughed out loud more than once. I adore the dynamics between your characters, the friendships as much as the romances. I have no doubts that I'll revisit this story many more times in the future.

Notes on Falling Out of Love by fallingskyes    (Reviews - 281)

It's hard to learn how to live without that one person you thought would be in your life forever. But Ginny Weasley had always been a quick study, and there are always certain grey-eyed boys to help speed up the learning process...

I love your story. Your characters are very realistic. I like that the love between Ginny and Draco is developing slowly, and that Ginny is still very much in love with Harry. I can relate far too well to her persistent feelings for him, especially in the way she expressed them in her letter to Luna. I hope your characters get the happy endings they deserve. I'm very anxious for the rest of the story! Please update soon.

My Soul Belongs To You by eveil woman    (Reviews - 122)

Married for wealth, Draco regrets his decision to leave behind his love and allow her to marry second best. Now years later, lust and envy fill the air as they fight the passion and want to be together.

I have no idea why this fic is receiving so many negative reviews. Yes, so far, Ginny and Draco are not together, but that fact is stated fairly clearly in the story summary ...

I really enjoy the mood and atmosphere of this story. You write very well; my only wish is that you would lengthen chapters. I don't really mind the jumps in time, but I would like to have more details about their daily lives, rather than just quick fill-ins about landmark events every few years. Right now it almost reads like just a series of vignettes, and I am too intrigued to not want more!

Please give everyone a happy ending! They all deserve it. I am also interested to see what role Lucius and other family members may play. Looking forward to your next update!

Author's Response: I'm trying to show that live goes on. I'm trying to get to the end of the last book then I promise things will slow down. I hope to have the next chapter up in a couple of days!

I love this! I'm really enjoying your unorthodox portrayals of these characters. I can't wait to find out more about Draco's and Astoria's relationship, and, of course, to see something blossom between Draco and Ginny. I like the pacing of this story. There's enough intrigue to keep my attention, but the attraction between Draco and Ginny is nice and subtle and doesn't seem contrived. Please update soon!

First Kisses by Januarybaby    (Reviews - 41)

Pansy Parkinson spun the bottle. Time seemed to slow down for Draco and he just knew that it was going to land on him. It did.

Very imaginative and satisfying for such a short piece! I love the motif, how you flesh out Draco's entire life through his first kisses. Nice length, too. I wanted more, of course!, but it's nice to just have these broad suggestions of what Draco's and Ginny's life was like, hints of what happened between their first kiss and their last. Wonderful little story.

Power and Responsibility by Januarybaby    (Reviews - 76)

The War against Voldemort was won eight years ago. Draco is a convicted prisoner in Azkaban. At 24, Ginny is the youngest and first female Minister for Magic. They appear to have nothing in common and no shared history. But things are rarely as they seem and secrets are everywhere.

Far and away my favourite story of the moment. Dark, serious, and contemplative, but not without hope, and never dragging. Lovely characterisations. Please keep updating! I'm anxious to read the rest.

Author's Response: Thank you for reviewing. It made me very happy. I tend to update about a chapter per week, but I will work extra hard for you and try to get two up:)

There is Another Sky by Terra    (Reviews - 37)

Four years, five months and twenty-three days. Ginny feels the weight of every minute with no regrets because each second has dragged her that much closer to Draco Malfoy.

You know that moment when time stands still and you’re suspended above everything, catching all the angles? And somehow you know this here, this now matters?

Yes.

Wow. This is some of the best prose I've read on this site in quite some time. I love your creative phrasings and metaphors, and many of your sentences have a lovely rhythm to them. Your characters and plot are also, of course, extremely compelling. Looking forward to reading everything you write.

Author's Response: Oh, thanks so much for reading! This was my first sojourn into D/G but it certainly won't be my last. :)
