Draco's Dangerous Dilemma by Anise    (Reviews - 1418)

All Ginny wants is to get the upper hand just once with drool-worthy hunk of man candy and callous playboy Draco Malfoy before he moves on to his next careless conquest. So how did this simple plan lead to time travel, nefarious plots involving the most infamous whorehouse in the wizarding world, and the teenaged Draco’s achingly sweet, chocolate-flavored kisses? Even Draco Malfoy was innocent once, as Ginny learns all too well…

Chapter ONE HUNDRED EIGHTEEN Quote of the Day:

THE LAST CHAPTER

The minutes ticked by, long enough for Ginny to know that against all reason, all common sense, she still wanted impossible things from him. But she would leave. Even after today, even when her body ached from him and for him, when she could feel that he had begun to shape her to him, she would turn around and leave him. I will, I will, she thought.

“You don’t understand,” said Draco.

“Oh?” Ginny said stiffly. “At least he hadn’t touched her, she thought. She would not be able to find the strength to pull herself away from him, and she knew it.

I love this fic! I'm so happy that there's a still a great story being told! These days D/G seems to be dead. THANK YOU :)

Author's Response: Thanks! :) I don't know... I still see some good D/G writing... but there certainly isn't anything this long. Who in their right mind would ever write 82 chapters and still not be anywhere NEAR done? Um... never mind. Anyway, more soon!

Fantastic last two chapters! :) I can't wait to see what happens next!

Author's Response: Thanks! There's a LOT happening next, and I hope that readers like it. But either way, it's what I saw, so all I can do is faithfully report it, and-- (hides behind rosebushes to avoid white van. They're NOT catching me in those nets. DDD would definitely never get done then. ;)

You do have a knack for these angsty one shots that just kick you in the gut. Would love to have another one shot explaining what happened, not because it's needed, but because I'm greedy :) Great work!

Christmas in Hell by dykeadellic    (Reviews - 95)

When Lord Voldemort gives an order, no one dares defy him. So when he orders Draco to reform one of the biggest blood traitors, Draco has no choice but to follow through, even if it means risking his heart in the process.

I just read this entire story in one day, on and off my subway rides. This story should have more reviews and recognition than it does. An original, believable, well-written story. I love the complexity in which you portray Draco and Ginny's relationship, it is very original and fresh. I anxiously await the next chapter and will recommend this to my friends :) keep up the FANTASTIC work :)

Author's Response: Thank you so much for your review! It means so much to me! The next chapter will be a bit longer getting up, but will be sometime this month. It's already written and just needs to be tweaked a bit. Hoping to see more of your reviews!

I'm actually shocked that this doesn't have more reviews. Loved this short (maybe too short) story. Great work!

A Day in Court by MemoriesFade    (Reviews - 15)

No one ever knew what they would get when Draco Malfoy and Ginevra Weasley were in court, pitted against one another. But when one witness breeds jealousy between the two opposing attorneys, the shirts come off and skirts drop. A courtroom drama featuring shenanigans and a case of impotence.

The Anatomy of a Suffragette by haniqua    (Reviews - 100)

Ginny Weasley wants nothing more than to focus on her Quidditch career and have a fun time doing it - but between the Ministry of Magic's plans to implement new marriage regulations, slanderous news articles by Rita Skeeter and a pair of irritating Slytherins, she just can't catch a break.
A feminist take on the Marriage Law trope, with DG for good measure.

Of Sun Breaks and Salacious Delights by Anise    (Reviews - 145)

+++

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?”

Love the way this story is going. I appreciate the conflict you've created amongst all the characters for a post-war world; too often in stories everyone's either on the same page of being pissed off or easy to forgive. I like that everyone has a different vantage point. Please continue! :)
