Living in captivity can only last so long. ***COMPLETE***Category: Completed Fiction, Works in ProgressWritten for the LJ DG Fic Exchange 2010 and winner of the Best Angst award. The rating is for the warnings.
I decided to spend an hour re-reading this! I still love this story with all my heart. It still devastates me. Great job!
At the age of 10, Ginny was selected to attend a very elite, all-witches school. When she finishes, Voldemort has been defeated but his followers have overtaken the Ministry. Instead of getting the job she was promised, she is forced into marriage.Category: Works in Progress
So far, I really love the layout of this. I'm going to continue on to the next chapter.
Okay so, I need another chapter. This is exactly my cup of tea right now. Now, I'm wondering, will you describe any of her time at the school? Or no? I mean, if you did describe her time at the school, it could be long. And it'd have so many OCs, though if done right, it's not hard at all. Just curious. You deserve more reviews than you have. So far, so good!
Author's Response: Thank you! Some of her time at school will be described, but not a lot. Her school years would be several more stories on top of this one!
Once again, I am enjoying it. It starts off slow, but I like it. It's interesting to see. I'd say more buuutttt, I'm out of it. So, can't wait for an update!
Author's Response:
Thank you! I'm still trying to bang out chapter 4 but hopefully it'll be up soon!
I do enjoy all of your chapters. I am determined to stick with this story, as I really am interested in how it will turn out. This is quite a different AU. Brownie points for orginality!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'll try to update as quickly as I can, but I'm trying to beef up the chapters and get them beta'd this time around: the original I had started writing had some chapters barely grazing the 1000 word mark. =x
Ginny struggles with past mistakes, and wracking pain. She isn't sure if they are seperate, or whether it is memories or something else causing the pain...Category: Poetry
That is exactly how heartbreak feels. The why it twists in your stomach, and you wish it were either more painful or not there. The burning in your throat. The breaths hurting your chest. Oh damn, you got it down. I'm usually not too big on poetry or prose, but I sure loved this.
I also loved the repitition of the line "You might have thought she was praying." Beautiful. Great job!
Ginny works hard to pay off the debt she owes a family friend by working as a dancer in a cabaret.Category: Works in Progress
“I was here on business.”
Her eyes had adjusted to the dim candle lighting, and she could see the edges of his lips curl into a faint smile. “What kind of business?”
“The business of finding out why Ginny Weasley was working in a cabaret.”
I'd been looking for a story like this a month or two ago. Now here one is! And it isn't shit! It's like you can read my mind. I'm really interested in this story. It's great so far. You didn't pull too heavily from the two movies. It's your own.
So update soon!
Many years ago, Draco Malfoy made a choice that led him very far away from Ginny Weasley, and the life that they might have shared. But not only is it hopeless to fight fate, its paths have a strange way of turning when you least expect them to, as a very unexpected person later learns...Category: Works in Progress
Chapter FOURTEEN Quote of the Day:
“It can’t be worse than going to Romania. James is getting worse by the day. Lily doesn’t care about anything but her broom. And Mum and Dad—“ Albus breaks off.
Ginny. Scorpius can feel his face stiffen, and he has to conjure a coughing fit to cover it. Incredible how simply hearing of her, not even hearing her name, is enough to cause that stab of feeling in him. Just when he thinks that he’s over that sort of thing entirely—
“The point is, I’m so glad I can go with you,” sighs Albus.
Maybe I ought to wish that you couldn’t, thinks Scorpius. For your own good.
Anise, my dearest, this is magnificent! I am waiting with baited breath for the next chapter. Oh, I knew this would be great, and it is!
The last line is my favorite. I love that part. Just... I can't express how much I love this. It truly is different from anything anyone has attempted. But you do attempt insane yet amazing thing. Update soon! And then Update DDD! It will make me swoon and profess undying love. ;) XD
Author's Response: Wow!! Thanks!! Um... especially the part about its being different from anything anyone ever attempted. ;) I've been really working on how the rest of it comes together, and it's all forming like this amazing shining puzzle that just come together in a big ball of shimmering light... (maybe I need more sleep... ;) anyway. More soon, and more DDD and NYL soon too. :)
This chapter was very calm yet chilling. I love how it is a bit different from other chapters you've written in all your stories. Or most. Honestly, I'm cold like Scorpius was. You did a great job on this. *applauds*
Author's Response: Thanks! :) Yes, as the scene between Scorpius and Draco went on, I realized that it was a chilling one, even though neither one of them intended it to be. It was just disturbing, for a lot of reasons.We'll understand more in the next chapter.
I thought this was supposed to only be 3 chapters? Either way, it is interesting. I'm mulling it over in my head a bit.
I want another chapter, please!
Author's Response: Oh! No, not necessarily (the three chapters, I mean.) But here's how it will work, JUST for you... (and, well, anyone else who reads this review. ;) The next chapter is Scorpius at 16 (and yes, he does get his Crystal Palace initiation, like all Malfoys.) The one after that is Scorpius at 17 (very briefly) and then at 18 (and that's when the fur really starts to fly.) The one after that-- probably the last one, but it might be split into two depending on how long it is-- will be Scorpius at 19. And that's the end. :)
*thinks for a moment* I approve. =)
Author's Response: Thanks.. your approval means a lot. :) (I *think* you were approving of the fic outline...)
I am approving of said outline. It sounds amazing. This entire story has been amazing. The last chapter reminds me a bit of Virginia Woolf. Such ordinary events, yet the cogs that turn in Scorpius's head show that every little thing affects us.
Have I told you lately how amazing you are? And I'm not just saying that because I'm hopped up on Rockstar Energy.
Author's Response: Oh yay! :) Thanks so much. Sometimes I'm afraid that the fic has been ...emotionally closed-off... so far, somehow, but there really is a reason why. Draco is so shut off in his thoughts and emotions, and Scorpius is much more like his dad in that way than he realizes. But there are going to be some real explosions within a couple of chapters, let's just say. ;)
Draco Malfoy has proposed six times to Ginevra Weasley. How did it get to this, and what will happen the seventh time?Category: Long and Completed
Started reading this today, after wishing my story had more reviews, and thinking that yours sounded way better. ;o)
I like the way this seems to be going. I always love D/G during Draco's seventh year.
I will continue reading this to see how it all goes.
Author's Response: Well, I have really enjoyed your fic, and I believe it has more reviews than mine ;) but I get what you mean. I often wish I would get more feedback, too. Which leads me to say thank you for taking the time to review!
This story is much more interesting than I thought it would be. I really want to see how it turns out! Ginny is pissing me off. She needs to stop whinging and be happy with Draco.
Author's Response: Thank you. I know Ginny really tests everyone in this fic. You are not alone in your reaction. :)
I enjoyed this so much more than I thought I would. You did a great job, and I love how Ginny's actions were completely explained in this chapter. You are fantastic!
Author's Response: Thank you for all the reviews! Wow! And thank you for the compliments on the story. I was so stressed about posting this last chapter. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) And good luck on your fic! I think you just updated so I look forward to checking it out!
This chapter is so sad! The story is growing on me, and I am enjoying more and more!
Author's Response: Another review! I'm glad you are enjoying it!
I did just update it! And you're welcome. I was so unsure about this, but I loved it. You did great, and you deserved the reviews! *applauds*
Author's Response: Thanks again!
The clock stood in the corner of her parlor for years. She'd never understood why her parents had chosen to give her the Weasley family heirloom as a wedding gift, but, perhaps now, its time had finally come.Category: Completed Short Stories
Beautiful fluff. I like your style. I really need to go to bed now...
Author's Response: Hahaha! Thank you again! I do try to be unique. I'd say I'm sorry I kept you so distracted, but it's an honor that I'm worthy of your time. :) If you are interested, I do have one other long fic on ff.net that isn't posted here, because it's one of my earlier works. The Enchanted. The story is totally charming and a nice, long read - it just has some "new writer" flaws so I never posted it here. My pen name there is enchantedstarlight
In which Ginny discovers a snarky toad, curses are broken, and a happily ever after is eventually found. Almost.Category: Completed Short Stories
Nice bit of smut, though I wonder who the hag was. I liked it.
Author's Response: Glad you liked it. ^_^
Ginny had told everyone that it was in fact Harry's baby… but that she had broken off the engagement. It was a lie, of course, but what was another lie? It was nothing.Category: Completed Short Stories
THEY ACCEPTED IT!!!!
I'm so glad I gave you this prompt! You did fucking fantastic with it!
Riddle- where the hell is YOUR story? Oh wait, there isn't one!
In the back of her mind, Ginny had always sensed there would be wild adventures with her and Harry. The early days of their time together–fighting evil and playing sport–felt like lifetimes ago. The most adventuresome thing they had done together in recent memory was a spontaneous shagging in the garden. It was so domestic that it pained her how common they were. The greatest wizard of his generation, and his wife, getting their thrills from a shag in the garden. She had never thought this future would be hers.Category: Long and Completed
Ooooh, the plot thickens! I hate these stories as much as I love them! I can never truly hate Harry. He is a great character to me. That always sticks by me, even if the fic is insanely AU. However, I think someone out there is better for him than Ginny. So I feel no guilt in throwing Ginny to Draco.
But seeing these stories, where no one is truly happy... it wrecks me. It makes me think of my life, as crazy as that sounds. Let me explain. I'm a lesbian, can't marry, and I am constantly fighting for that right. Should I have a lifelong partner, and they get seriously ill, they will die in a hospital room without me because where I live, we are not family.
No one ends up happy.
It's sad.
I cry like a baby.
Great job. You have me hooked. I want Ginny to go back to Draco. But at this point, I like Harry enough that I do not want to see him crushed. THE TENSION!!!
You are pure evil.
This was amazing. I truly loved it. I also loved you involving the mirror at the end. She sees nothing because she is truly happy the way she is, I am guessing?
You did an amazing job with this story. It is truly a gem. I loved it. You had me hooked, and I am a very picky person. Great job!
This was a really emotional chapter. You did a brilliant job on it! I'm glad Ginny left. So many times she doesn't. I am so happy to see you taking a different route with this than most people do. You have kept me hanging on for sure!
Draco springs Ginny from women's prison, but will she ride in his aqua-blue Cadillac? And why is he using so much Miracle Whip? Watch out for that rat poison, not to mention the nine-inch heels... Utter crackfic (more or less) inspired by the longer video for Lady Gaga/Beyonce's *Telephone*.Category: Completed Short Stories
ANISE! OMG! This was insanely funny. At first I was just confused as hell. Now, I'm laughing. Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks! :) Um, yes, it could be seen as kind of confusing... but I think the video was, too. It was definitely a fun little fic to write.
