Very nicely done! I loved Tom's response to Ginny's insult and the comparison to Harry.

Thank you! I don't imagine Tom takes reminders of his past very well. :)

I've always wondered why Tom/Ginny fanfics dealing with the Horcruxes plotline are so sparse. It seems like a perfect device for writing canon-compliant Tom/Ginny with a 16-year old Ginny and an older Tom (who is even more handsome than his 16-year old self, as we are told). You handled it very well, even though my inner shipper feels slightly cheated by the ending. ;) However, I acknowledge that with this premise, a T/G-slanted ending would require much more elaboration, and subsequently many more words than 2050. Besides, I rather like how the ending lacks a sense of finality; it makes perfect sense for a girl whose personal battle is far from over.

The best part of your story was the characterization. Ginny came off just as fiery and vindictive as she is described in the books, and Tom just as dark, smooth and seductive. Ginny's motivation to "revive" Tom is very believable, considering CoS seems to have a huge, blinking "To Be Continued" label plastered on it. Also, her choice of insult must have hit a nerve. turtle_goose (Ivy Riddle ( ... )

Thank you! I wish there were more matured!Ginny/older!Tom fics out there, just because the dynamic is so interesting. More charged, I think. Also, I love how interesting it is that Tom- who supposedly holds blood in high esteem - routinely victimizes purebloods. I almost wish I had spent more time building up that dynamic, but I was happy with the balance I'd acheived at this point.

see, I saw Tom as unable to exert much power, because this Horcrux had not had all the life force pumped into it the diary had. Ginny held the upper hand, and was allowed to leave at her perogative. Really, she was more in danger of allowing herself to get hurt than from any surprise attacks on the part of Tom.

Um, yes. I do love to use 'and'. I didn't quite notice I'd abused it that much, though. *g*

You totally have my permission to use the quote. :) I do adore the ship, but alas I am dreadful at posting on message boards. It's why I've mostly moved ship to LJ. But thank you!

And thank you for such wonderfully in-depth feedback! *adores*
