Fic Rec: Ginny-Centric

Hi Anon! I've been meaning to put a list like this together for some time, so thank you for the request! Ginny is my favorite character (really closely followed by Harry, though some days they’re so neck-and-neck, I can barely tell anymore). There are probably many more stories I could add to this list, but I focused on stories that were, well, more focused on Ginny, and I decided to post instead of continue to let this languish in my drafts.

An * indicates a WIP, and if it’s indented, I’ve rec’ed this story before.

AU

The Changeling by @annerbhp

Completely Ginny-centric retelling of canon if Ginny were sorted into Slytherin.

The Off Season by flyingcarpet

Injured, Ginny thought she would never fly again. Can Harry help her regain her confidence and return to the sport she loves?

the faintest, slimmest, wildest chance by LullabyKnell

Not my usual kind of story, but sure is written so well! A classic time travel fix-it, but with Ginny going back in time to rescue baby Harry from the Dursleys. But of course that means that it’s not H/G endgame (even if this is just a glimpse rather than a full fic). However, the writing/Ginny is so hilarious if you want to indulge for a moment in this universe.

Missed Moments

the train station by @ink-splotch

An absolutely chilling story of Ginny’s near-death experience in the Chamber of Secrets. The writing, like most of dirgewithoutmusic’s work is riveting. 

Depletion by tosca1390

I love stories that explore the experience and trauma of Ginny and the diary, perhaps providing small glimpses of how little Ginny grew up to be the amazing woman we know and love.

Chocolate in the Library by @floreatcastellumposts

An amazing missed moment of the famous chocolate in the library scene between Ginny and Harry in Ootp.

Not From Others by @floreatcastellumposts

Deathly Hallows from Ginny’s POV. There are such amazing scenes in what could have happened from Ginny’s perspective during this year, including the scene where the title comes to play, and this was the first story that I read with the final battle that had me sobbing at the “unseen” deaths of some of our favorite characters.

hope is a dangerous thing (for a woman like me to have)* by @isahorcrux

A lovely work in progress retelling of DH from Ginny’s POV. I’ve really enjoyed the atmosphere and details in @isahorcrux‘s story, and it was just updated after a long hiatus!

Postwar

Compromise: A Love Story by femmenerd

Ginny needs to be more than the Boy Who Lived’s girlfriend. I like the messiness of this, the hard edges of their relationship. They’re nowhere near perfect, certainly not Ginny, but they wouldn’t have it any other way.

Chambers by starfishstar

After the war, everything isn’t okay, but maybe eventually it can be. A Ginny-centric post-war story.

Between Walls and Harvest Moons by @ellizablue

During Albus’s third year in Cursed Child timeframe. It’s heavily focused on the Al’s disconnect with his parents. Ginny pays him a visit. There are heartbreaking moments of Harry angsting over his relationship with Al, but I have such a soft spot for Ginny & Al stories, and this one hit all of them.

"I love you" / please do not use it. by @stuckwith-harry

Harry tells Ginny he loves her, and her response was not what either expected.

the ghosts that we knew will flicker: ginny weasley by cold_cereal

Ginny and Harry deal with the scars from the war in their own unconventional ways.

Character Study

stumble on a secret power by pinkdementors

All stories have a beginning. This is one of them: the diary, the girl, the quill dipped in ink.

lost: in defense of ginny weasley by @ink-splotch

Or were they something else entirely, this trio who was not golden? They were the unchosen three: the discarded Horcrux and the last Weasley; the brave, broken backup Boy Who Lived; the loony girl who lost her shoes and had more friends in thestrals than in her common room.

Scattering Blooms at Her Watery Grave by @ink-splotch

Three boys called Luna "Loony" in the Great Hall and flicked peas at her. Ginny rose to a modest height and a towering rage and felt like a worthy lioness for the first time since the Chamber.

The Gates of Happiness by MagEd

The seven men who loved Ginny Weasley. A MuggleNet story!
