Hello, Im SniperTeamTango (I will respond to STT or Sniper)
I think I'm one of the last male D/G readers around. No fear here though. I haven't really progressed on any fic since 2009, but everything I've written hasn't been up to scratch in my own opinion. School's been cutting my time short too. Glad to be back though!

Epilogue Quote of the Day:
He struggled to prop himself up on an elbow. “Lovegood—Luna-- do you remember being… I really don't have the least idea how to explain this… somewhere else?”
“Somewhere that looked like King’s Cross Station?” asked Luna.
“Yes!” Draco tried to sit up all the way and failed, flopping back down onto the bed.
A thoughtful look came over her face. “I think that I do, but I don’t believe that anyone else does. Maybe it’s better that way.”
“Probably. Look, uh… where’s Ginny?”
“She’s not ready to see you just yet,” said Luna. ”Here’s a napkin.”
“I don’t care about a napkin! Where’s Ginny?”
I'd noticed 3 chapters of KCDT went missing.
Anyways, no damn clue what's going on here, however I can't help but hope in a tiny part that I get to have sex and save the world in one day am I right? ;) Great read as always Anise!
STT
Author's Response: Thanks! Yes... I'm working on KC, and I've decided that it'll get updated and finished and posted at some point in the next months. It really is the genesis of *Death Train*, but it's very different, too, especially when it comes to some of Draco's motivations, and I think it'll help me clarify where some things need to be in DT. And YES! You get to have sex and save the world in a 48-hour period. You have the official Anise Stamp of Approval. True, it's good only in the 64th dimension, but still. ;)
My brain hurts. This + data notes = one hell of a mental soup. As usual, eager for more. (I'm thinking there's 2 timelines and one is merging with the other.)
STT
Author's Response: Thanks! (What are data notes? Or maybe it's a big secret, and if you tell me, then I'll disappear too.;) Anyway.... mmm..... good theory, but not EXACTLY. More soon...
That'd be crazy awkward. I can't wait to see how this plays out for him.
STT
Author's Response: It's awkward for sure, but I don't think anyone expects to learn the news that Ron has to share. (Nobody who's leaving reviews, anyway! ;)
The plot thickens eh. Either everyone everywhere is getting magically lost, or something more sinister is at play here. This is still a thinker.
STT
Author's Response: Thanks! Very soon, we'll all find out the truth. (snickers at the thought)
So far enchanted by this premise, to the point where its keeping me up to read it. I can't help but wonder if he's losing his mind, or is a lot more of a messed up plot going on here. However I've read a lot of your stuff before so I know full well no matter what I think I know about the plot, it will still hit me like a bus when it comes around. I cannot wait for it.
STT
Author's Response: Thanks! (But get enough sleep.) Okay, I WILL reveal that Draco isn't losing his mind at all. The other thing I'll say is that the plot originally came to me after seeing DHII last year. That's not really enough of a hint to figure out anything, though... I don't think. More soon...
Very excited to see where this goes, and hoping I won't have to wait much longer to find out!
STT
Author's Response: There's more coming very soon, and it's going to be really fascinating (well, to me, anyway... I hope to all the readers, too! :)
Gossip can be manipulated for one's ends. Written for the challenge posted by chromeknickers on The DG Forum.Category: Completed Short Stories
*snickers* pretty clever so far. Not sure if its a one shot though. It reads like one but I can't help but feel there's more. Its marked as in progress so I hope there is more.

That was pretty good. The dialogue was believable and I found the interaction heartwarming :)
STT
Author's Response: Thank you for the review! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it.
It should have been another routine morning for Ginny Potter. With her children now all at Hogwarts and her Auror husband off chasing England's latest serial killer, she expected to wake up alone with only a silent house to greet her. Instead, Ginny makes a shocking discovery in her bed that is only the beginning of a whirlwind of unbelievable events. Things will never be the same again.Category: Works in Progress
wow what is going on with her? Great start so far. Favouriting for emails. STT
Author's Response: Thank you for your review! Happy to hear the premise caught your interest. I hope the subsequent chapters won't disappoint.
Working for the Department of Mysteries teaches Draco Malfoy many things: Play the man. Everyone lies. Collateral damage is inevitable. But when he's the man being played and Ginny Weasley becomes collateral damage - well, you know what they say. All's fair in love, war, and hard and dirty politics.Category: Works in Progress
Jesus this was a long one. Are you hitting a word cap hence splitting chapters into parts? Not that I can complain, loving every second of wonder so far. Keep em comin please!
~STT
Intrigued to see where this goes. Subscribed. This your first fic?
STT
Author's Response: Thank you kindly, am humbled :) hope it gets better, not worse. haha. is the mantra of all writers/readers. first fic under this particular penname, yes, or ship.
Anxiously awaiting the new chapter. I'm loving this take on sketchy problem solving draco. It really works well.
Author's Response: haha, sketchy problem solving draco is really the BEST description I've heard thus far for Draco's characterization in this. I'm trying to get the new chapter in before the site shuts down submissions before the 20th so fingers crossed there will be something to read over the holidays >< thank you for your review m'dear!
Thoroughly enjoying thus far, and the chapter length makes it take a few days for me its great!
~STT
Author's Response: Thank you for the review, m'dear! Yeah, the chapter length was annoying me, I didn't want to split it into two parts again but it had to happen, clearly :( Not much in terms of action but a bit more, I think, in terms of backstory which is always important :)
"Hello,” he said casually, as if speaking to a perfect stranger. She supposed that was what they were, now.Category: Works in Progress
She said nothing.
“Those cigarettes will kill you, you know.” Oh so now he was giving medical advice.
She held up the cigarette in a salute to the sky, as if to say “Here’s hoping,” but still no words escaped her chapped lips.
Kinda scared to see where this is going given the warnings, but intrigued all the same. Added to favs.

In Ginny's sixth year her world is turned upside down as the tides of war change and different people are in power. She tries to keep her head down, but she can't help who she is. She stands up for what is right. This leads to her being punished for her actions...Category: Works in Progress
Seems really rushed the urges but I'm betting there's tons of backstory here. I'm a lil confused as to where this is going, but its intriguing me. Added for emails.
~STT
Author's Response: I'm glad to have peaked you interest. They do have back story from cannon that I'm going to add little twists to, those will pop in as random memories in later chapters...
Ginevra Weasley has woken up in an alternate reality, but no one else seems to have noticed - not even her fiance. Now she has to travel to the past to get her future back.Category: Works in ProgressThis gorgeous artwork was created by Hannah Askance.
This bodes really, really well ;)
I look forward to where this goes, although my money is on a few AU parallel universe theories.
Author's Response: Thanks! I wrote an explanation in the Story Notes about the kind of time travel and timeline this story uses as I've gotten a few questions about it, so feel free to check that out. ;)
This has a very, urban combat feeling to it. I like how it feels war like but isn't the war plotline from canon. Keep it up :)
I anxiously await to see what happens with this plotline, I haven't a damn clue whats going on at this point :)
STT
Bahah cliffs.
Hopefully next update won't take two long. Im wondering if this is a parallel dimension or an actual case of alternate reality.
Author's Response: Hope that was quick enough for you. ;) This isn't really a spoiler, but it's a case of alternate reality. If you go to the Story's Notes you'll see I've left a summary of the kind of time travelling this story uses, as I've had a number of questions on it, so feel free to take a look after you read chapter seven. Hopefully that clears that up!
Ginny hasn’t seen Draco since the last time they met in a moonlit corridor after the last battle at Hogwarts. So why is he following her around the Ministry of Magic five years later, desperately trying to warn her about unseen dangers? And why does she still feel that same old disturbing attraction to him?Category: Completed Short Stories
Chapter FOUR quote of the day:
“Get out of here, Malfoy,” she hissed at him.
He shook his head.
“I’m working on my public art project. Out.”
“No,” he said, not moving a muscle.
“Fine,” she sighed, walking over to him. “Why don’t you just tell me what you want, then? Let’s get this over with.”
Moar please. Love mysteries :)
Author's Response: Thanks!! :) I'm SO glad to see that you're still around, too... I wasn't sure. We don't want to lose great readers. :) More coming soon.
The end feels kinda final but its labelled as tbc, either way it's been a great read :)
Author's Response: No, it's complete!! I just marked it correctly. And thanks. :)
While working for the Ministry headed by the Dark Lord, Draco runs into a familiar face: Ginny Weasley. What she's doing working for the Dark Lord, Draco doesn't know, but he's determined to find out.Category: Works in Progress
(The noncon is in the fourth chapter, and the reader merely assumes it has happened afterwards. There is no explicit description.)
Pretty interesting and twisted premise. First two chapters did a really good job making it look like Lucius was going to be the antagonist, just to be over thrown by the last one. I'm a little afraid that there's low to no chance of a happy ending here, but I'm okay with that. Looking out for more.

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 can practically smell the mental conflict, among other things ;) All I'm gonna say is I am envious of the self control.
I love that you're still having them denying they have attraction to one another. Wonder if the spell will be more powerful once they admit that.
Author's Response: Thanks! :) Well... that wasn't easy for Draco, let's just say. ;) I think that Ginny denies any deeper meaning to the attraction because Draco left her a year before, and they never discussed the reasons why. It's too risky for her to get her hopes up again, which I think is understandable. Of course, they also broke up after the FIRST time they were together, for which Draco blames Ginny (again, without ever having told her. I think these two need to have a conversation... ;)
There is SOMETHING I missed with this latenight reading. Some spell effect or something. I will be back for a more thorough review tomorrow.
Author's Response: Thanks! :) And if you need any clarification, please, just ask.
