I've reread this wonderful story many times. It deserves a sequel.
I come back and read this story every few months. I love how you've added depth to Narcissa and Ginny, and yet have still managed to keep them in character. And Lucius is perfect. It's so difficult to find a well-written Lucius, but you've accomplished that here. And what a hot story! Good work!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I am especially glad that you like my Lucius. I really do want to write a sequel to this story; maybe someday I will overcome my laziness and lack of free time.
Utterly intriguing!
I completely enjoyed the way you deftly managed to turn a potentially nightmarish situation for Ginny into a congnitive learning curve. I especially liked her lustful resilience.
I also enjoyed Narcissa. As each facet of her character was unveiled she became much more interesting than in any other story I have read.
Lucius was nicely done.
Particular congratulations on utilising different perspectives, minimalising unecessary dialogue and leaving certain things unsaid.
Now i fervently hope to be bale to read the sequel. Funnily enough, I'd be more than happy for the dark to triumph in this one- just to see where it might lead Ginny and Lucius.
Most sincere congratulations on a fantastic job!
Hope the muses keep you writing!

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I'm glad that you enjoyed the story. Narcissa was a happy accident in this fic-- her part just kept getting bigger.
I do have a sequel planned out, it's just a matter of getting it written.
This is possibly one of the most intriguing stories I've ever read.
Author's Response: Thanks! At least, I hope that's a good thing.
I do plan on writing a sequel, but I'm a procrastinator.
Sorry you didn't get many reviews on this! It was interesting and dream-like in many places. Huge changes, but at the same time it seemed as if nothing much were happening. It is very challenging to make something so strange seem 'normal,' so good job! Narcissa's role in all of this was very ambiguous. She seemed to treat Ginny more like a daughter than her husband's mistress!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! You are right, most of the conflict in this story was internal so it wasn't very fast-paced. I felt like Narcissa was interested in the way that Ginny got under Lucius' skin.
Fun story, and an interesting pairing!
Author's Response: I'm glad you like it, and yes, Lucius/Ginny is a lonely ship. ;)
