Ginny returns home to find that life at the Burrow has completely changed in her absence. It's all Ron's fault, and it's up to her to try to save her poor brother, but she may be too late. Worse, she may get sucked into the madness along with everyone else and start liking her brother's new best friend.Category: Long and Completed
Yes! She finally realizes she likes him... Whoohoo! I like this relaxed, carefree Draco too, so I know how she feels. More please...
Author's Response: Well, she kind of, sort of realizes it. She'll come around. :) Having read far too many stories where he's so dark and moody, I needed to lighten him up a bit. He deserves it. More coming soon.
Hugs!
Looking for a normal, happy Christmas, Draco stumbles across the Christmas party of the year and discovers that normalcy is overrated.Category: Completed Short Stories
What was normal anyway? I love that all roads lead to Wheezes. George is so relaxed and happy. I love this. It put me in the Christmas spirit. Thanks for sharing.
Author's Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the review!
Professor Malfoy is on detention duty. Ginny comes in late.Category: Completed Short Stories
This was fun. At first I thought Ginny was a student -- which was no doubt your intention -- and I thought 'hot', and then I realized they were professors and it escalated to 'steamy'. Very yummy.
Ginny's got a secret - or perhaps more aptly described - a bad habit. Will she be able to break it? Or will she end up wanting more?Category: Completed Short Stories
This was, without a doubt, my absolute favourite story from the whole exchange. It was perfect. Thank you for writing this.
Author's Response: Wow! That's very sweet of you to say that. Thanks for taking the time to read it!

Ginny fled the wizarding world when betrayal, deception, and heartbreak tore apart her life. A year later, she lives and works as a Muggle-- and the co-owner of Athena's Saucy Shoppe of Salacious Delights. But she's about to learn that it isn't so easy to leave the past behind... especially when it comes packaged in the person of Draco Malfoy.
Chapter TWENTY Quote of the Day:
Ginny tried again, deciding that it was time for her glowering blond companion to help her out whether he wanted to not.
“It’s so great to catch up with old friends, Draco. Don’t you think?” She jabbed Draco lightly in the ribs under cover of darkness.
Draco clamped his hand around her waist like a band of iron. Oh, no, Ginny thought despairingly. This was not going well.
"She's mine alone,” said Draco.
"But she's got other customers, right?" asked Theo.
"She is not to be shared,” said Draco. “I… ah… don't share my toys. You ought to remember that, Nott.”
"But if she's no more than a toy, then it shouldn't matter." Nott's expression was turning crafty. Suddenly, Ginny had a very, very bad feeling about what might happen next.
“Seems as if you shouldn’t mind sharing Ginny with me, don’t you think, Malfoy? After all we’ve been through together? You know what I mean, don’t you?”
I'm finally caught up again and I'm loving them having to come up with things to keep Theo interested. It's so very awkward watching Ginny struggle with being a conversationalist.
Fun chapter. Looking forward to the next one.
Author's Response: Thanks! :) There's MUCH more coming soon...
A miniature Xmas story~Category: Completed Short Stories
Awww, that's adorable. Actual fire and ice. cute. Looking forward to seeing what else you write.
As the unintended Captain of the most despised Auror squad, can Draco Malfoy lead his band of Slytherins through Death Eater attacks and threats from the Ministry? Definitely not. At least, not without the help of his reluctant Lieutenant: Ginny Weasley. Inconveniently, the last person he'd ever ask.Category: Long and Completed
I like this story. I wonder how no one could figure out that some of the older 'reformed' DEs would turn traitor to help their friend. I'm glad Blaise will recover; he's one of my favourite characters in fanon.
Author's Response: Thank you! :D Yeah, originally I was going to have Warrington be a top suspect in addition to the older ones, but I didn't end up introducing him well enough to make it work. So yes, Draco totally should have seen that coming. XD Blaise is ridiculously fun. And I haven't finished having fun with him yet! :)
Draco liking errands makes me happy. I love that they both like each other but don't quite know it yet. Lovely. I can't wait for the kiss that will change their relationship.
I can't believe you updated here! It's like you're keeping secrets.
I'm getting terribly annoyed with Harry and Hermione. Nothing ever pleases them. I really like the idea of that slime defense. Very cool.
When Draco Malfoy finds Ginny Weasley working at a Muggle strip club, he enlists her help in being his fake girlfriend to get his money back. But can they pull it off without getting their feelings involved?Category: Works in Progress
Sure. Send me an email from your gmail and we'll go from there. Or message me here with your email gmail address.
Author's Response: kristi.etherton@gmail.com
I love that Draco is falling and doesn't even realize it. I can't wait for when the realization finally hits. That should be fun. Lovely chapter, wish it was longer and glad you're back. Hope the personal issues that kept you away weren't too stressful.
Author's Response: They were. but the only way from rock bottom is up. So from now on, I am focusing on that. I have a new beta, I have recruited someone to the D/G dark side. I am working on a story that enlists more of my personal experiences. All in all, I will be okay. It will just take time. I'm glad you liked the chapter. Next one will be sent to the editor today! So never fear, more D/G goodness is here!
We need to pow-wow about more DG stuff. I keep wanting to talk to people about it but no one has time for me anymore and then my vibe to write disappears. But I keep getting ideas for stuff that never moves beyond the planning stages.
Author's Response: I'm not using the yahoo email address until I get all the spam out. which is 9k worth of emails. But I can give you my gmail address, if you want, and we can talk there.
Not weird at all. We should totally be friends.
Tumblr is definitely NSFW. LOL At least mine is...
I'm curious about you experience as an escort (which is in no way the reason I want to be friends - just an off-topic brain fart).
I can't wait to see how you add that experience to this story. I'm secretly hoping for more sexy banter and inappropriate comments about nudity as D&G get more comfortable with each other and more attracted to each other.
Author's Response: My Tumblr is too! I love it though.
My experience as an escort was good and bad. I met some awesome people, but I also ended up being followed home, had someone I've known since I was a child (and he's like 55) threaten to tell my parents that I wouldn't sleep with him. Sadly, I still have to see him because he's my vet, and I can't tell my parents why we should switch. I'd rather die than have anyone find out that I was an escort. Besides my roommates at the time who knew. It was definitely how I paid rent.
There will definitely be more banter and more inappropriate comments made. Promise!
Ugh! Men are the absolute worst sometimes. Can you arrange it so that your parents take the pets to the vet without you? Or is it that you need to be there to make sure he doesn't tell your parents about your past?
Ugh! Men really are the absolute worst sometimes.
Author's Response: My dad refuses to do it without me. It's ridiculous, but I'd rather be there so I know he can't say anything. But every time I see his face it is so dang weird.
I'm sorry you have to deal with losers like that. Makes me ashamed of the entire species.
Author's Response: It's okay. I just read chapter 4 to refresh myself, and I think you're really going to like it! *shrieks*
Grrr! Stop doing that! Especially since I'm not getting it anytime soon. Shame on you! Do you know if the FIA messaging option works? I was trying to message you earlier and got an error message.
Author's Response: Nope, it's down. Just another thing we need to fix. But you can email me at dykeadellic@yahoo.com
And you may have the next chapter sooner than you think.
Please don't taunt the monkeys with talk of soon chapters...
Author's Response: Are they flying monkeys? And it's not a taunt, more of a promise.
I use Tumblr too but not at work. That's strictly a home computer website. I also spend most of my time on Livejournal (still) and Goodreads.
Aww, I feel like such a special snowflake now. :)
This is definitely one of my favourite stories right now.

Author's Response: Yeah, tumblr is definitely not something you look at in public. I can't get into LJ for some reason, so I have one that I'm only one during the fic exchange. I love goodreads! Which reminds me, I need to read more books. Whoops.
You are a special snowflake. You should like be my friend. Is that weird? I'm really awkward omg.
I am so glad you like this story. I was an escort (sugar baby) for awhile, and that's how this story came to mind. I wanted to take my experience and turn it into something funny and positive, while highlighting the real issues that sex workers face (lightly, you'll see).
IT here focuses on the major time-suck websites like TwitBookStagram but I don't use any of those so I fall through their net.
I don't really have a favourite part, I love all the interactions with D & G. The banter is excellent. I loved the initial conversation with D proposing the idea to G. I also love some of the innuendo one-liners.
Author's Response: Yay for falling through their net! I use FB, but not Twit or IG. I also use tumblr way too much.
I look forward to your reviews, and I am REALLY happy you're enjoying this story! I swear everyone else could stop reading, and I would still update just for you. So you're special. =)
Eeeeeep! That response now has me dying to get the next chapters. You shouldn't have told me that! Now all productivity is gone (yes, I'm at work and no, IT doesn't know what websites are time-sucks for me :D Idiots).
Author's Response: LOL! I am so sorry, but I promise it is well worth the wait. I'll be sending the next chapter to my beta soon, so when she's done with it, it will be here on the site. An IT is always full of idiots. I'm glad you can access the story at work though! So what's your favorite part?
I wish the kiss had more fireworks but I guess I'll get all my fireworks when Draco goes to the Weasleys.
Author's Response: I will say this: Once the fireworks do start, they don't stop. ;)
This is the kind of Ginny and Draco that I love. More, more, more...
Author's Response: There will be more soon. So glad you like it!
I love stories where Draco doesn't realize his feelings until they're right on top of him. I love that Ginny is getting along with the Malfoys as well. I hope her feelings are parallel to his. I hope this story isn't ending soon, not when I'm just settling in.
Author's Response: I wanted to make it realistic, and a lot of the time you don't realize you're feelings at first. It takes a minute for you to realize you like someone, and I wanted to explore that with Draco. And no worries, there's seven chapters left! Was there anything you didn't like?
I agree. Sometimes it takes a minute. I have trouble writing that slow burn into stories now.
The same thing I always don't like, when the chapters are short and I want more. Also, now I have a sushi craving.
Author's Response: This one was really short, and for that I'm sorry. I plan on sending the next chapter to my beta on Wed. (my off day) and not forgetting this time! So there will be more.
And i had a sushi craving when I was writing it, LOL. So there you go.
