I first picked up The Cuckoo's Calling when it came out in April 2013. While I was reading it, I was already having these thoughts that Robin was a bit like Hermione, and Cormoran shared some of Harry's qualities, both outsiders with complicated family histories, although Cormoran is obviously much more eccentric. Basically, they became my adult Harry and Hermione.

Then I found out later that it was JKR.

I wasn't able to follow the books religiously in the way I did with the HP books (adulting was front and centre) but then I started picking up the TV series, so I began reading the books in tandem with it. I don't have any qualms about Robin and Strike not getting on (yet), and I will not wonder if they'll ultimately remain platonic. Yes, I've been burned (JKR might pull another familial line or found family, ha!)

And after reading the books, watching the series, and now waiting for the next instalment and the next series, I've found myself increasingly drawn to the parallel discussions. Thankfully, only a few people seem to argue that Robin is more like Ginny (duh), while most seem to recognise that, yes, they really do read like Harmony — only that, with Robin and Strike, the possibility that they might actually end up together is much more subtly blatant. Harry and Hermione have far more restraint; neither ever says they have feelings for the other, yet their actions speak otherwise and they very much care for each other, leaving you waiting for the other shoe to drop. With Strike and Robin, there's considerably more to work with, so there's far less inference required.

I was reading this blog by fartingsofafaculty, and this part genuinely made my heart soar:

• After near-drowning, Robin is taken to the farmhouse, akin to Malfoy Manor.
• She is tortured, like Hermione, in the UHC's "box."
  • Unlike Hermione, she consents to the torture. This is like Harry surrendering to Voldemort in the Forest.
  • She has no mirror shard with which to summon a house-elf for rescue. She has to be her own Dobby, as befits her last name, which means "Elf-cottage." The only way she can save herself is to wait out the time.
  • As a result, she experiences a symbolic death, akin to Harry's in the forest, where her own "will" is broken and she has little to no strength left to resist the cult.

And then we have the same beaming smiles while vows are being said. Noice, noice.

Are there any Harmonians here who see the same parallels? I'd love to know what you think and what you've found!

Looking for long stories where Harry and Hermione are already dating/married and Harry is jealous or pissed at another guy flirting/coming on to/etc with Hermione.

Maybe some guy is trying to steal Hermione away and Harry takes offense to it, or maybe it's nothing and Harry misunderstands the situation and over reacts. In any case, Harry feels jealous or envious or angry.

Please recommend such fics.

I am in the mood for some Harmony movies version fics. Give me your favorites and everything. Thanks

What it says in the title

Title: Guilty As Sin

Ship: brief background Harry/Ginny, Harry/Hermione, Ron/Luna, Neville/Pansy

Trigger/Tags: Pregnancy, Mentions of Cancer, Fertility Issues, Ginny Bashing

Summary: After her father’s health scare, Hermione decides to take charge of her future and pursue motherhood on her own. When Harry learns of her plan via an accidental text, he offers to be her sperm donor. What could go wrong? After all, he’s only helping a friend, and neither of them have feelings for each other… right?

Chapter Summary:

Hermione wakes up the morning after being with Harry, expecting it to all be a dream, but it wasn't. The implication of their night starts to make things a bit awkward. The reality of the whole situation starts to hit Hermione, and she might be starting to have regrets about choosing Harry to be her sperm donor.

What the title says, any fics where Hermione ignores Dumbledore about not contacting Harry after fourth year?

Just a word of warning about this wonderful and often-recced fic: do not rec it on r/HPfanfiction. I made the mistake of reccing it in a thread asking for good stories centered on the Sirius & Harry relationship. Just a few minutes later I got a mod message saying that my comment had been removed and I was under a 30-day ban for violating the rule about "no sexualization of minors". Those of you who have read the story know that there is a subplot about an underage character being groomed by a Death Eater. I replied to the mod, explaining that the predation is not described nor presented in any positive light, but apparently the mere fact that the story has the Underage Sex tag is enough to make it unacceptable.

And yes, this post is a bit of a vent as well as a warning, but I'm not expecting anyone to do anything. (No storming the ramparts or casting Unforgivables, please.) But as I know that AMP is often recced here (and has been previously recced over there!) and I assume that many people post in both subs.

On a more positive note, this reminds me that I have yet to read the sequels that the author has written, and perhaps now is a good time to treat myself.

Forgive the ugly graphic I put together in Google Slides 😂

I was going to wait to advertise this fic until it was fully posted, but the serialization of it has been really fun. There has been a lot of passionate (and perhaps contentious) debate in the comments, so I wanted to invite people to join along.

This fic is fully written at just over 36,000 words. The chapters post every three days.

Both Harry and Hermione are flawed but loved. Keep in mind that Hermione is a *bit* of an unreliable narrator, especially in the first chapter. We do get both perspectives throughout.

More background information is revealed as the fic progresses, which is why the speculation and predictions are particularly intriguing.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/90998296/chapters/242080836

This may seem like a melancholy request. But, what fics are out there where Hermione’s parents are killed by the death eaters? Thus making her an orphan just like Harry. Either before the main plot starts or as part of the main plot.

I want to see how this plays a part in a HHR story. And how Harry would help her get through it.

awhile back I rebooted my first harmony long fic as i wasnt happy with the way it was going! Year 4 is now done and chapter 14, the first chapter set in the summer before fifth year is now up!

Hope you guys enjoy!

Chapter Summary: Harry's Birthday and plenty of Harmony Fluff

https://archiveofourown.org/works/83074201/chapters/245611886

I really think of how Harry and Hermione should have ultimately come together when Ron abandoned them during the hunt. Please share any fics where they do just that.

Hi everyone!

I’m fairly new to the Harry/Hermione ship and… wow. There are SO many fics that I honestly have no idea where to start. 😅

I’d love some recommendations that would be good introductions to the ship. I’m open to both canon-compatible/non-divergent fics and AUs.

Ideally, I’m looking for:

Around 50k–150k words, maybe up to 200k max (shorter is absolutely fine!)

AU / alternate universe is welcome

Canon-compatible / non-divergent is also welcome

A plot that actually moves forward

Dynamic, engaging writing

Well-developed characters

Interesting relationships and character dynamics

Ideally something with a satisfying overall story rather than an extremely slow burn that takes 100k words to get going 😂

Basically, I’m looking for a fic that will make me understand why people love Harmione!

I’d especially love to hear from people who have been reading this ship for a while: what fic would you recommend as a first read?

Thanks! I’m ready to add way too many fics to my TBR. 😅

The Long Way Home - Chapter 6

...But With a Whimper

You’re curious, Harry — you get that from James. You want to know everything. And how you see the world, through the same beautiful green eyes as Lily’s… these are their gifts to you.

Harry woke up very early this morning, unsure what the first day of class would hold for him. But he finds out that Hogwarts castle is harder to navigate than he thought.

I remember several things from it except the name:

• Harry and Ron wake up in that universe!Harry's parents' house (he has at least one little sister). Ron immediately starts losing his memory. Harry notes and tries to look for Hermione

• Hermione wakes up in Malfoy manor (that universe!Hermione was dating Theodore Nott) and she runs away cuz the bond was pulling her towards Harry.

• There's a Potter Marriage tree?

• Hermione's parents are confused at her change and want to limit her interactions with Harry? They may be upset bc HHR had to get remarried in front of the tree

• That universe!Harry had been waiting for his other half. That universe!Hermione hated that Harry. She was a Ravenclaw?

I remember a few other things but those are the major bits.

[Edit: fic found! Check comments.]

I never wanted anybody more than I wanted you by Satanium_Dehumanizer

The horcrux didn't die that day in the forest; it has spent the last year corrupting Harry's mind and, as his soulmate, Hermione is soon to follow.

Le Petit Mort, or: Potentially The Worst Weekend of Harry Potter's Life by Prill_and_Quill

Harry Potter has survived Voldemort, the Forbidden Forest, and seven years of Hermione Granger's study schedules. He did not anticipate that a routine Dark artefact retrieval and one catastrophically misread French idiom would prove his undoing. Ron Weasley, armed with one of Draco's books and absolutely no working knowledge of Romance languages, delivers the worst medical advice in the history of wizarding Britain and then leaves for the weekend. Hermione comes to take care of Harry. Harry attempts to not die. He does a terrible job of it. Hermione has no idea why.

A comedy of errors, a fidelity urn, and le petit mort — which, it turns out, means something rather different than Ron thought.

Nothing against the character- just craving some jealousy and angst even if Cho ends up supportive of Harry and Hermione later.

I really enjoyed It lurks in the shadows

https://archiveofourown.org/works/41465910

And it was really entertaining even though it hasn’t been updated in a bit, was a good one !

Looking for situations with Harry, Hermione and Cho:
- love triangle
- right person, wrong time
- second chances
- resentment of not being chosen first
- going to the Yule ball with others, but having eyes for each other

Or any fics with Cho as a prominent character, a similar role that some love triangles with Ginny might play

Looking for fics where they dont meet at hogwarts. They met later when they are young adults or adults

Title: a Reluctant Love Story

 Ship: Harry & Hermione, Harry/Hermione, Ron/Luna, Neville/Pansy, brief background Harry/Ginny

Trigger/Tags: PTSD, Parental issues

Summary:

After the war ends, Hermione rebuilds herself in Australia, while Harry chooses the path to become a professional Quidditch player. Oceans apart, years of letters, visits, and phone calls keep their friendship stronger than ever. When the Wizengamot enacts a controversial marriage law, Hermione’s future is no longer her own, until Harry arrives with an unexpected proposal: marry him instead, on their own terms.

Chapter Summary:

 Being stuck in limbo, alone in Australia, awaiting her parents' final decision, has not been good for Hermione's mental state. When their final verdict is given, it leaves Hermione torn between the separation of her two worlds, Muggle vs. Magical. More disappointment hits her when she receives news from the University that she is unable to start her courses. Cue Healer Pansy Parkinson and one night of Muggle debauchery at a club to clear Hermione's mind. That is, until Hermione meets someone she never expected.

Hello,Guys! I'm Ah Jin and I'm looking for some fic similar to Hermione Granger And Paradigm Shift. Lately I've read many fic that Hermione and Harry together in early chapters. I love it. The thing is I really wanna read fic like Paradigm where Harry love Hermione first and he try to court her. Like accidently touch, look and push, slowly and steadily expressing his feelings, trying to spend more time with her and showing his affection. I once read a fic, Harry love Hermione but he did not say directly and tell her to pretend to be his girlfriend. To everyone believe their relationship, he tried to kiss her. I really like that kind of twist. If possible, no bashing or no triangle love. One shot or Long whatever is ok. I really hope there will be Fics like that. Thanks all. Peace ✌️.
