A Vesica/Mynuet Collaboration. If Ginny had even the slightest inkling of what the day would bring, she probably would have called in sick. A disastrous press conference proved to be no match for the spin doctoring talents of Lush's chief and Ginny finds herself catapulted from being a lowly intern to the very eye of the storm, living a double life as a careerwitch and glamorous front woman for a racy new line. Throw in a few A-list events, a few dozen crises, an endless promotional tour with her new co-worker and the last person she wanted to spend time with, and a mystery waiting back home that neither of them may be able to solve….Every day's an adventure when you're living the Lush Life!Category: Works in Progress
This is fantastic story! You girls have me chuckling throughout reading this interspersed with guffawing and snorting, so I can tell you I really must look quite a sight when I read this! Case in point - last chapter "You'd no sooner take something that's not yours than... than stick your wand up your nose and sing 'Rule Britannia' in the middle of Diagon Alley while standing on one foot and wearing a clown costume." As I began the sentence I was chuckling, then progressed to a guffaw, and finally ended with a snort.
Can't wait for more of this story. It's definately become a favourite of mine!
Author's Response: Ves says: *grins* This might not be one to covertly read at work. There are too many points to nearly choke yourself trying not to laugh. Glad you are enjoying it!
Myn says: Yay! We like bringing the funny. We do, we do.
My heart went all flippity-flop when I saw this fic in the most recent section. Is that too incredibly sad of me?
As usual a great chap - I think it should be interesting to see how Elle will react to some of the changes Ginny will inevitably make. I dare say that ‘Soup & A Sam‘Witch’ will probably be the least of them!
Hoping for some more D/G interaction in the next chap if at all possible... *puppy-eyes* Pretty please? Wiv cherries an' cream and other stuff too!
Author's Response: Ves and Myn Say: We might be able to do that – maybe. :D I am sure Elle and Ginny will continue to have to work at their interactions – not an immediate personality match there. Thanks so much!
Ginny, Harry, and Draco have been leading separate lives for years, but then a disturbing case involving mind manipulation brings them all together. Rows break out, animosity and hatred grow, people die, and friendship is tested. In the midst of all that, is it possible for romance between two unlikely people to bloom?Category: Works in Progress
Wow! this fic is really unique and is definatly a favourite of mine! I love the way you've made it so multi-faceted. There's the more simple but highly enjoyable relationship developing between Ginny & Draco (I love Ginny's self-denial btw). There's the whole involved and complex mystery of who the sociopath is and how they're going to stop him, and then there's the terrifying aspect of Ginny being the next victim.
I love in depth stories and it's easy to see when reading this that you've researched the topic and are definately going below the surface.
One thing I found interesting in the last chap was that Cecilia kept putting off going to the ministry. I was wondering if this would be a general reluctance to tell people or if this stems from the whole legilimencically sealed doorway in her mind?
Author's Response:
Quoted by my co-author:\"Cecilia is scared. She is scared about everything at this point. She doesn\'t want to be around people, she is nervous about them looking at her or potencially touching her. She is dealing with alot of post traumatic stress on a daily basis not to mention she is becoming a little delusional from barely sleeping.\"
It\'s more of a reluctance to see people than to tell them.
*Completely AU* In a world where Voldemort was never defeated, only a few things matter: pureblood, money and power. All that Ginny Weasley wanted was to survive her 7 years at Hogwarts, a school where the children of the richest and most powerful wizards dominate over others. Denying her natural instincts, she managed to make it into her 6th year without offending any of the cruel and powerful Slytherins - especially that horrible Draco Malfoy. Until one day, she crosses a line, and her peaceful existence is shattered forever. A story filled with adolescent drama, clash of the classes, angst, jealousy, ridiculous pride and love triangles (and squares).Category: Works in Progress
What a fantastic update!!! There was just so much in it - and I loved it all - that I'm not sure where to begin.
You've done a great job at modifying Tonks' background, it'very plausible & I love her position in Draco's life.
I'm really beginning to love Draco, he's a git and he's clueless but in an odd way he's also very sweet (as long as no one's around). I love the way he followed her when she was drunk to make sure she was alright. You have the perfect combination of denial and covering up this 'sweetness' with his pratty arogant nature to create a very realistic and conflicted character.
I love that Blaise has now gone after Cho, hopefully Ginny will now be able to get over her little 'crush' on him an notice Draco's not the total prat he always was. Oh I loved the way he asked, no sorry, demanded that she go out with him. It was just sooo Draco and is sure to lead to some more interesting conflict!
Absolutely loving this story.
Author's Response: I can\'t lie, I really love Draco. Like, REALLY love him. I love who he\'s such a bastard, but also really sweet, I love how he\'s always watching Ginny and picking up on things that she says and does and the odd situations she seems to always be getting herself into, and I love that he followed her - not knowing at that point that she was drunk - because he was bored, it was dark out, and she\'s entertaining in ways he can\'t even understand yet. And I love how he, who is so self-assured and suave in situations that he\'s used to (dealing with powerful wizards, barking at his underlings, dealing with the girls who adore him, etc), can be so incredibly awkward and clueless when dealing with Ginny. And the fact that he tries to cover up being nice in such odd ways (like when he told her she was plain, when really he meant pretty - Chapter 7). And the way he \'asked\' her out? I loved that too, although it\'s TOTALLY from HYD and not at all mine to claim, but I still love it and had to include it.
After frighteningly realistic dreams lead Ginny to France, she finds herself thrust into the middle of a war no one knows about, led by a man no one would have ever suspected. Can she save him from an unimaginable fate? Will she make it out of France alive?Category: Works in Progress
Wow excellent beginning! Very intriguing - I can't wait to read more of this.
Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m glad you enjoyed it. Chapter 2 will be up soon :)
It’s a well known fact that Luna Lovegood believes in many ridiculous theories, such as the existence of strange creatures that nobody else seems to be able to see. But when one of those creatures comes to life before her very eyes, a new quest is formed, and she sets to work trying to discover what to do along with two very unenthusiastic people: Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy.Category: Completed Short Stories
Even if I hadn't read your Author's notes at the beginning I think I would have picked up the Pratchettian/Adamsian tone of this one. Good job you got that bizarre, snarky tone down pat. It was very clever and funny.
