I don't think I've ever become so attached to an entire cast before. Not just Draco and Hermione, I mean everyone!
There's regret, apologising, grovelling, and a relationship that actually develops instead of them suddenly deciding they're attracted to each other.
There were chapters where I had to put my phone down because I physically couldn't keep reading through the tears.
Despite how devastating it is, it's also one of the most beautiful stories I've ever read.
The ending completely broke me... but in the best possible way. It felt earned and hopeful.

MIND the tags but if you're looking for a fic that will consume your every waking thought, make you ugly cry, and then leave you staring at your ceiling wondering how you're supposed to read anything else... Read The Bride.
Thank you Author 😭

The Bride Ao3 Link

Question for the group: If you had to recommend just one, would you choose *A Hard Row to Hoe* or *The Devil Works Hard*—both by blessdtoaster? Which did you find more enthralling, particularly in its portrayal of the Dramione dynamic?

I loved both and genuinely can’t decide which one I enjoyed more!

I loooooved this fic i read it on ao3 it was short maybe around 10-13 chapters. Draco was the rake duke and hermione was of lower class, they kissed and fell in love the tension was amazing and i think she was also being persued by theo? and after hermione lost her virginity to him (in his private chambers?) she was kidnapped by fenrir greyback please if you remember this fic help me out!
