Mar. 7th, 2003 11:59 amEarly on in my travels through the realm of HP fanfiction I found the greatest little Draco/Ginny story (and here you can even look at Orli dressed as a cowboy while you read -*rowr*) - The Past Didn't Go Anywhere (http://www.fearthainn.com/stories.html) by Fearthainn. Certainly one of the best characterizations in the fandom for Draco, and I think her Harry is well-interpreted.
I am disturbed (quite a bit, might I add) by the similarities Fearthainn and I share. It was so uncomfortable that I put off LJ-ing since I felt that she was already occupying a niche in the fandom. I can appreciate the music of Fiona Apple and I'm tall and brown-eyed. These are the few divergences. If this has ever happened to you, you can appreciate the weirdness of it. Good thing she's a much better writer than I!
Okay, here are some more D/G fics, mainly R or NC-17 (see Davesmom's link below for the fluff):
Serpent's Bride by Reiko - http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=610745
Love and War by Night Spirit - http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=520512
DarkKnight's Don't Talk Back series - Don't Talk Back, Never Say Never, Tainted Love and Wonderwall -

http://www.restrictedsection.org/load/story.shtml?/9/taintedlove.html
http://www.restrictedsection.org/load/story.shtml?/9/wonderwall.html
Jade Okelani's Our Winter - http://www.restrictedsection.org/load/story.shtml?/8/ourwinter2.html
Of course there are tons more (and feel free to give me recommendations for great fics too!) D/G out there, but this is my list of personal favorites. And all of these are finished.

SHE is the best part of the story - you gave her such a realistic progression from idealistic young girl who marries her schoolgirl crush to grown woman realizes that he can't give her what she wants. I think I cling to your Draco and Harry because they are nearly always OOC and rarely believable. TPDGA makes them human to me.
Don't worry, I promise to carve out my own niche eventually!
