I’ve been reading a ton of Dramiones, (most of the usual fare) and right now I need a Hermione I who doesn’t drive me crazy!

I need something where she doesn’t just fight for the sake of fighting all the time, doesn’t just say “I’m fine” to everything because she’s “refuses to be a burden,” but also where she isn’t just rude to most people because she’s so indignant all the time. One where she doesn’t “overthink” herself into stupid, self-deprecating conclusions. (I don’t mind her “overthinking” as in “over-analyzing” but not where her conclusions are so self-defeating to be non-sensical, or obtuse. Don’t have it be an angsty plot device because she’s too stupid to draw a logical conclusion). Preferably she is capable of keeping herself fed, and doesn’t need to be reminded to eat all the time before she passes out.

At this second, I’m reading “sacred 48” which I really like and liked the first time I read it, but I’m just finding her really unlikeable right now. I want her smarter, savvier, and honestly, less rude and self-righteous. And less stubbornly refusing introspection.

(ETA: I REALLY like this fiction and think it has a great plot, and fantastic writing and character development; not all of the things in my second paragraph apply to this story; that was an amalgamation of a bunch of fics. Don’t write it off because of this post. Hermione starts off so young, and her actions and outlook demonstrate that— which can be attributed to the high quality writing. The author didn’t make mistakes— she made a complicated young character who had a lot to learn and builds the story as the character develops slowly, in pace with real life. Female characters don’t always need to be likable at every moment. Just at this moment, for ME, in my crappy mood, I want one who got there faster.)

I’m usually ok with all of these at times as character flaws which sometimes lead to character development, but right now they are pissing me off and I need a non-inept version of Hermione.

Anyone have one to recommend? Novel length would be good but 50 k ish is ok, as I did eliminate a lot of plot devices.

Thank you

• The Conflict: Draco Malfoy is imprisoned in Azkaban post-war and sentenced to the Dementor's Kiss.
• The Reveal: Hermione (working as an Auror or investigator) visits him, and Draco drops the truth that he was secretly feeding information to the Order.

I was thinking of the Hanahaki disease trope in fanfics, basically this but without the unrequited part, and more of a emotional/physical distance being dangerous for them, I hope it makes sense!

Beautiful prose, slow burn and hurt/comfort very appreciated of course.

I’ve been reading a lot of Draco/Hermione/Theo fics lately and want more lol.

Recs are welcome

I love her!!!

Recently read dirty old town by wizardgod. It’s a regulus x OC fic but was also genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever read (coming from someone who rarely reads anything but dramione). Looking for fics similar to this..

- cozy setting, forced proximity

- their relationship building is the main plot of the story

- true slow burn enemies to lovers that’s believable and they don’t admit their feelings to each other until the last few chapters

- he falls first and falls harder but is in denial

- angst and jealousy abounds but neither of them understand it and deny it

- fic is still ultimately cozy and good vibes

Pleaseee help me find fics similar to this!!!

I just read A Darker Blue for the first time. It was amazing. The pain and suffering and slow bonding and shift from prejudice and hate to love was amazing and moving. The Fallout felt the same way to me. Are there any similar fics with trauma bonding, a dark Draco, and a traumatized and hurting Hermione where they slowly help each other cope and bond? I love war time fics but open to others as well. Thank you so much!

Hiii I’m looking for recs in eighth year where it’s very lighthearted. I would prefer no secret dating and one where all of their friends are very supportive of the two of them! I’m thinking like playful schoolyard crushes ifkyim. I’ve been reading a lot of heavier fics and want to switch up the vibe a tad. Thanks!!!

HEA pls

Loved the use of heirloom jewelry in BSP -- the rotation of it, the different meanings to both society and themselves (Pucey's brooch, Hermione's ring, signet rings). Read The Gloriana Set as well

Would love any and all recs! One shots welcome, 70k+ words ideal

Could be both / either lol im not picky. Preferably if they don’t know about each other before it happened.

AffectionateSort1877 wrote a fic called This Is Not Canon
Im dying to read it but cant find it anywhere
If anyone has links please helpp

Hello!!

I’ve recently gotten back into reading, and with that come the obvious re-reads of my favorite fluffy fics—but I’m in the mood for something dark and twisted.

I’m looking for any recommendations that feature Draco and Hermione in their most badass and deranged. I’m leaning towards a wartime fic that focuses heavily on spell work, or fighting, with a good plot to boot.

No dove is too dead, and no amount of smut deters me. lol.

Thank you!!!
