i know what this situation needs…explicit fanfiction

[swishandflix]

Fanfic is a free hobby.

It's one of the last few things we can have as a society that's free. You can engage, for free. People give you things (art, stories, etc), for free.

Don't buy into the consummerism just because it's everywhere else.

You don't have to consume everything you interact with. You don't have to use things, just because they exist.

You're allowed (still, for now), to have things that are enjoyable for free.

Do you realise how insane the world is? We don't have many places where we can just be, for free anymore, but ao3 is. Did you notice we don't have ads in ao3? We don't have pop ups? Where ELSE do we not have that?

Where else can you just go and not have to wait for a commercial to be over or for ads to be on the sidelines?

I don't think the younger people understand, but the whole of internet used to be like this. YouTubers would do Youtube for free, just because. You couldn't monetise your internet presence before.

Ao3 is like a little preserved corner of the internet where the old internet used to be, and it's being attacked by people who do not understand that free things are allowed to exist without judgment.

Please don't ruin this for us.

Some of us need it.

CRUSHED chapter 29 is posted!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/62686930/chapters/160476718

CRUSHED tells two intertwining stories as they happen in the present time, with flashbacks to three years prior.

♟️ Hermione and Draco are both high powered lawyers, going head to head in battle in the courtroom. Hermione represents the Vampire community as they sue the government for negligence after a programme is shuttered that supplied them with a critical potion that quelled their bloodlust. Draco is the lead prosecutor for the Wizengamot.

📖: "I've been paying attention to you," he murmured quietly, like a confession, his gaze searing into her.

A prickle of heat ran up her spine at his sudden intensity. Maybe they were about to lunge at each other.

"And I can't decide–” he continued, his voice low and sultry as he took a step closer, “--have you become something completely new, or is this still thirteen-year-old you, fighting for house elves’ rights?”

She narrowed her eyes at him and crossed her arms as she leaned in closer.

♟️ 3 years ago, Ginny Weasley upended her entire life after realizing that she’d lost herself in her grief after losing Fred. We follow her journey as she tries to find her spark again as she gets back out on the Quidditch field in pursuit of a spot in the professional league. And, when she least expects it, love will set her life ablaze.

📖: “I hope that the next time I see you, you’ll be smiling and telling me all of the wonderful things you’re doing with your new life, and that this will all have been worth it,” he’d said quietly into her hair as he held her to his chest. “And I hope when that day comes, I'll be happy for you.”

She nodded as he spoke, her head still burrowed against him.

“And when I see you again,” she said, her voice muffled, “I hope that you’ll have forgiven me.”

Mutual pining. Competency kink to the maximum. BAMF Hermione & Draco, BAMF Ginny. A few of our favorite side pairings. And, an appearance by Pansy Parkinson that steals the show.

The Fire That Remains | Chapter 16 | AO3

dramione / epic-length / slow burn / war AU

It probably didn’t help that he hadn’t been sleeping much since what he’d done to Granger a few days ago. He kept replaying how wide her eyes went as he grabbed her collar and pressed her wand to her neck. His throat tightened involuntarily when he remembered the trust he’d painstakingly cultivated with her – how her defenses had come down brick by brick. The dreams of her – the ones he’d been denying he was even having – had only intensified. Dreams of oversized jumpers, warm coffee eyes, magic blooming from her wand like the first notes of a nocturne exploding into color, the shape of her collarbone in the firelight, the smell of potions incense and flickering candlelight, all preludes to touching her lips, trailing his hand down her neck, lower still, the sobs he’d brought from her throat replaced by moans and gasps he could only imagine the sound of.

Featuring Legilimens Draco, Hermione as a brilliant inventor, trauma recovery, hurt/comfort, and mutual pining in spades

Chapter 16 now up on AO3!

[swishandflix]

Secrets of Malfoy Manor - Beforetherealbook - E, 49 chapters, Words: 302,409 - Lucius Malfoy has died, and Draco has inherited the Malfoy estate. For the next six months it is under Ministry review. Draco Malfoy's problems now include: (i) a vast network of assets he cannot name, let alone manage properly; (ii) a one-night stand who won't go away; (iii) a different one-night stand he's wanted to find for years; and (iv) his mother's insistence that he start courting, preferably before Pansy Parkinson does. Meanwhile, Hermione heads out on a field assignment where she makes an unexpected friend. Upon her return she’s given a new assignment from the Ministry that should be a curse-breaker's dream: find Lucius Malfoy's dark objects and decommission them. If only the Manor would be more cooperative.

like I understand it’s all about the cycles of violence and why does the person you love matter more than the person I love etc etc

But Abby really does neglect to mention that her “unarmed doctor” father was about to kill an unconscious teenage girl in the hopes of finding a cure he had no way of knowing for sure would work, without even getting her consent first.

Like girl, Joel is right, shut the fuck up and do it already.

HP FESTS: The Dramione Archives (Part 1)

The Dramione Valentine's Collab Collection 2025:

Draco Malfoy and the Atrociously Mismanaged Valentine by Eclectic_fantasy, saintmlfy, Tippilo, Wrathful_Wrackspurt - E, WIP - When a singing goblin in a frilly pink dress delivered a Valentine to Draco Malfoy's office, Draco was convinced Hermione Granger had finally noticed his existence beyond their verbal sparring matches. His response? A perfectly reasonable campaign of gift-giving. What could possibly go wrong?

The Wrong Key by PandaPatronus, pensieve_podfics (hanzfeetz), Stephydfab, WillowingScribe - E, one-shot - Marrying Draco Malfoy was never the plan. Neither was accidentally bonding herself to him by consummating her marriage. That's why Hermione is determined to find a way to break the bond before their next wedding anniversary. The only problem? She needs Draco's help for that and he's one stubborn bastard. OR Draco plays the piano. A lot.

Will you be mine, Lupercalentine? by brittbaird_art, orphan_account, sarahdipity613, So_scarlett_maroon, thedramionearchives (dittanyanddreams) - E, 2 chapters - Hermione’s Valentine’s Day is off to a rough start. She forgot to wear red; Harry accidentally announced this fact to an entire lift at the ministry, and Draco Malfoy practically fell on top of her on her way to her office. But when that fall causes them to be magically bound to each other for the day, Hermione realizes things are going to get worse before they get better.

The Averse Veela by Beatificbean, faintlydisappointed, MissusB, yourstruly_quin - E, one-shot - Fate couldn’t have picked a worse match. Draco has gone above and beyond to deny the pull he has felt since his early adolescence. However, as his twenty-seventh birthday approaches some urges grow increasingly difficult to suppress. As if resisting his magical biology wasn’t difficult enough, Hermione Granger unknowingly tests his control every week. Her presence stirs something primal in him, not to mention the insistent itching on his back. When she triggers his Veela heritage, the fragile balance Draco has fought to maintain is threatened to unravel. --- Or The One Where Draco Denies (Unsuccessfully) His Veela Heritage to Avoid Any Connection with Hermione Granger.

How to Catch a Snitch by DarkCloud190, FanFixation (SequesteredAudio), Nusilverwolf, strandsofsaturn - E, 3 chapters - “Just think of the kids!” Hermione is told when she’s dragged to the ridiculous ‘headless’ auction co-hosted by St. Mungo’s Children’s Department and the International Quidditch Federation. Up for grabs? A Valentine’s date night with one of the strapping players standing on stage. So, when the Pansy-Ginny-Theo Chaos Trio™ tricks her into bidding for the contestant with an intriguing sprawl of runic tattoos, Hermione resigns herself to an evening surrounded by soppy, lovestruck couples. This’ll be painful – tattoos and broom thighs be damned! Once in a while, though, you get something much more valuable than you bid for, and you learn that, just maybe, love really is in the air. ✨🧹🪽

A Scar is Born by allofthelights11, OllivandersVoices, winterwells - E, one-shot - Draco had no inkling that today would change his entire life. Even as he fell towards the earth (a fall every Quidditch player made a half dozen times, at least), it didn’t feel out of the ordinary. A nasty fall, an unfortunate accident, but nothing unique. It was, though.

Afterglow by byanca_black, papercranesandapples, TimeWizardPodfics, volchitsa - E, 3 chapters - Two years after Voldemort’s victory, Draco Malfoy is a loyal Death Eater and skilled Legilimens, tasked with extracting secrets from captured Order members. But something is not quite right. Each night, he is plagued by vivid dreams—and a nagging feeling that he is forgetting something vital.

all fanfiction is funnier and sexier and vastly better-written when you read it at three in the morning, in the dark, lying on your side, tucked into bed, with screen rotate turned off. that’s just how it works. that’s just facts.
