Dramione fic recs
(So. Here is the long, long time ago promised list. It’s a bit different than my Tomione one, but Dramione is such a big ship… and I am a very picky reader.)
(Note that this list is in no particular order)
First of all: Everything ever by everythursday. (And I mean everything. There are only two stories I liked less from her. I can try my hand at making a full list of all her stories, but I think there are such lists already floating at dramioneasks. They also have dropbox files, because her online stories are gone but two I’m afraid L
I have a bunch of stories from her saved, I can share if you guys ask nicely!)
My top three:         The Fallout, CHAPTERS: 49, NC-17
Hermione learns about life through the redemption of Draco Malfoy
(Also known as the best DHr story EVER. Once I read this one there was no going back. It spoiled so many other fics for me, but trust me, it is worth it.
‘I’m the car crash, Granger. He whispers. I’m the Fallout.’ + SPOILER (select text): the best love confession I have ever read.)
                              Creatures of the Wind ONE-SHOT,
Hermione liked to entertain the idea that she was floating out to sea. Maybe he came to be with her, or drown her, or anchor her to somewhere that they could name, and keep, and call their own. But whatever it was, however they got here, wherever they were going, he was hers.
                              A Fruitless Year CHAPTERS: 3
Sometimes the simplest of storms can grow to nearly topple the mightiest of oaks, and the only choices left are to sever it by the roots, or let it grow towards the light.
Two still working links: Lobbed Dabble Spider ONE-SHOT, G (Silly & Sweet & Cute)
At a Ministry holiday party, Draco and Hermione get a taste of payback.
                                              A Kingdom by the Sea CHAPTERS: 9, NC-17
During a dual gone wrong, Draco is hit with a curse that begins to erase his memories. Stuck with Granger in a lopsided house beside the sea, Draco’s life and mind begin to unravel as he struggles to hold on to who he is while losing who he had been.
Other fav authors & fav stories (love, love, love)
Phlox (I love her, she’s my second fav author out there, I have read ALL her stuff and her stories never cease to amaze me. She writes such real characters, and there is always more to it than DHr, honestly I recommend everything she has ever written.)
My fav’s: We were never here CHAPTERS: 3, EXPLICIT
A million little things draw people together and push them apart. Nothing is insignificant, nothing inevitable. Can Draco and Hermione find their way back by the path that led them there?
(Without a doubt one of my top fav’s, this is the story I always come back to. It is just so lovely, and heart wrenching and real, yet showing character growth and allowing second chances. I think about the toothbrushes analogy far too often. How people can cease to exist as a whole, how easily relationships are broken, be it friendships and romances, but also, how they can be mended.)
                 With Care ONE-SHOT, T
Hermione hasn’t done anything wrong.
(Ugh. DRACO IS SO PERFECT, and so is Hermione, and they are so IC and it feels so real, and lovely)
                   Celestial Navigation CHAPTERS: 3, MATURE
(Cute and funny but with a little tug at your heartstrings along the way. A story about moving on & finding home.)
Lost, without direction, unable to find your way home? Coming soon, a new Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes Ekeltronic to guide you on your journey! *Your mileage may vary.*
Philyra912 (Also read ‘The Question’, it is not Dramione but it is really wel written.)
My fav’s: Ennead ONE-SHOT, M (I LOVE THIS ONE)
Nine moments in the lives of Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger. Tie in a little mythology, sprinkle with angst and romance, and step back.
                  Charon’s Gift ONE-SHOT, T (The angst is realllll, but so is the hurt/comfort, and that is my vibe)
On a joyless Christmas Eve, Hermione goes to visit the graves of the fallen. There she meets the man who destroyed her hope, and perhaps the only one who can give it back to her.
                  The Year of the Rose CHAPTERS: 12, T (Next to The Fallout this is the best war fic’s for me out there. Sequel to the Charon’s Gift.)
A chronicle of the year following the events of Charon’s Gift.
Author’s that will never disappoint:
MiHnn (ao3|ff.net)
My fav’s: These Stolen Lights, ONE-SHOT, T (very angsty, very lovely)
They call her name and she does not go.
                   The Written Word, ONE-SHOT, M (ft. Rita Skeeter, and SO FUNNY)
Dear Reader,
The Truth must be told and its fatal duty has fallen upon your small and brittle shoulders. May you be guided by the truth of my word.
Sincerely, R.S.
                   Competitive Games ONE-SHOT, T (a lot of competition and a lot of unresolved sexual tension, what more can you wish for?)
When Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger are asked to compete in order to create a new educational curriculum for Hogwarts, no one could have foreseen that their competitiveness would lead to something more… Becoming ultimately a battle of the sexes.
    Greener Pastures ONE-SHOT, M
Bored with Ministry work, Hermione takes up the post as Sports Reporter for the Daily Prophet, much to Harry and Ron’s amusement. Her first assignment is far from easy.
Eilonwy
My fav’s: The office party
It has fallen to Hermione Granger to organise this year’s office party, a thankless task at the best of times but made even more of a trial because of her assigned partner.
  Unfenced Fire
The discovery of an ancient and very powerful incantation sets Hermione on a rather surprising journey of self-discovery – and she’s got company.
Musyc
My fav’s: Three Steps Forward, One Step Back ONE-SHOT, M
When tracing a relationship step by step, sometimes they move forward, sometimes they fall back. In the end, they find they can move in step. The tracing of a relationship in fifteen short vignettes.
                  The Train ONE-SHOT, E
What could have happened in chapter seven of HBP, and why Harry Potter should never lurk in luggage racks again.
                  One Pleasant Memory, ONE-SHOT, E
The memory of one stolen, forbidden night is all that they share, and Hermione remembers it all as she waits to be identified.
Elysium66
My fav’s: A Fly in His Web TWO-SHOT, T
When Hermione attends a party, she expects some mayhem to ensue. She doesn’t expect to end up with Draco Malfoy in such a sticky situation. And given what happened between them the year before, she’s getting very worried about making bad habits.
                  Patterns ONE-SHOT, T
A bewildering pattern has formed over the last year, and it seems Draco Malfoy is one habit Hermione can’t quite seem to shake. Now that the festive season has arrived once more, it’s time for her to decide if she really wants to.
                  A Choice to stay ONE-SHOT, K+, (NOT Dramione, but one of the fic’s that made me fall in
                love with fanfic. Draco x Astoria)
Astoria reflects upon her marriage to Draco Malfoy. She yearns for something more.
Tamlane: (Her LJ has been restricted, which is too bad, because there were some amazing Auror!Partners Dramione’s up there… oh well, hope she changes her mind someday.)
                  Prelude (A kiss) ONE-SHOT, T
“I said—” He grabbed her by the jaw and pressed his thumb firmly against her lips. “—shut up.”
                   Twenty minutes top ONE-SHOT, E
Yes, Malfoy’s fingers felt absolutely magnificent, but they didn’t have all day. They had twenty minutes, tops. Maybe less
Bex-chan (I could never get into Isolation, but it is a great favourite of many DHr shippers, so I highly recommend it)
My fav’s    Little, fragile toys ONE-SHOT, M
That incident, their first kiss, always reminded her of a car crash; people often described how they could recall every moment before and every moment after, but the impact itself was lost or hazy, like when you find a new bruise and can’t remember where it came from. And Hermione could genuinely remember every detail that followed the impact. Every detail.
(A genuine story about change)
 Graveyard Valentine ONE-SHOT, T
Hermione thought she was the only person in the world who would spend Valentine’s Day in a Graveyard, but she was wrong. He’s there. Every single year, with his gloves, roses, and answers.
(I ADORE THIS ONE)
               Because of the chestnut and cherry stains ONE-SHOT, M
With the war still casting a shadow over the Wizarding World, Draco tries to understand why Christmas is so important to Hermione. Even if it takes him years to learn. Christmas one-shot.
Honourable mention to: The-Dragon’s-Secret, Captainrainchill, Ningloreth, Floorcoaster/luckei1 (ao3|ff.net) & Provocative Envy (ao3|ff.net)
Other Fic’s I absolutely ADORE
Precious things by herbeautifullie, ONE-SHOT, T
It’s a pure feeling – so human that some days, he doesn’t understand it – and he struggles more and more to not suddenly reach over and touch her all on his own.
Spill your breakfast, drip your wine by evilalice, ONE-SHOT, M
If Hermione is honest with herself, her singular attraction to Malfoy began back at Hogwarts the first time she saw him looking anything but the sleek-haired, immaculately dressed prat she’d come to loathe.
(And its sequel: I put it on when I go lonely)
In memoriam by anonhermionegranger, ONE-SHOT, T
On the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, the Ministry throws an annual Commemoration Ball to honor the survivors and fallen warriors. Hermione attends every year, and she spends her time waiting to leave and staring after Malfoy.
Drop by Drop by raa, ONE-SHOT, T
Sometimes moving forward is as simple as changing your mind.
(I mean, wholesome angst and Hurt/Comfort, two of my favourite things.)
Short and bittersweet
Days Gone By by blackestfaery, ONE-SHOT, G (So lovely, and so realistic. Moving on and letting go.)
Hermione Granger on two truths and a lie.
Joie by blackestfaery, ONE-SHOT, G (I can’t even. Every word, every sentence, every comma is perfect in this.)
Hermione and Draco share a real but stolen moment in the library.
The unobtainable happiness by Resa Areus, ONE-SHOT, M
Draco wants to sleep. But the promise of tea and conversation prove too much a temptation.
Short and sweet
That moment when by WithRhymeNoReason, ONE-SHOT, K
Minerva McGonagall knew the exact moment when she realized that Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger were meant for each other.
Twelfth use of Dragon blood by Wonderland Toy, ONE-SHOT, K
Draco and Hermione do not have a conversation in the library. No, really.
Long and bittersweet
Seven years and a day by Mimosa Crook, ONE-SHOT, T/PG-13
Seven years later, the world is nothing like they had hoped or imagined. They have accepted it, or at least that is what everybody believes. But nobody can deny the truth forever.
Silly and Sweet
Inventory of Moments by optimise, ONE-SHOT, T (featuring a very cute and kind of sneaky Hermione and a Draco that realises he is not as sneaky as he thinks. Everything to love, in other words. )
Hermione makes a lot of lists. And a list of names just happens to be one of them.
Honestly all of optimise’s works
Outside the dawn is breaking, ONE-SHOT, T (though she killed me with this one tbh, not silly and sweet AT ALL)
You don’t make mistakes, Granger. You mend them. You turn utter messes into something—someone worth love. You fix them like you fixed me.
( or—two broken hearts don’t make a whole. )
This is not a love story, ONE-SHOT, T (fits into the silly and sweet category)
It’s not a boy meets girl type of thing. It’s more boy and girl hate each other, girl seduces boy until they end up all naked limbs at the Ministry’s Valentine’s Day ball, and boy tries to pretend it never happened. Yeah, that sort of thing.
(Featuring Draco pretending he is too poor to splurge on SOCKS-I’m choking- and Harry having none of his shit:
Draco makes a show of rummaging through the pockets of his trousers. He pats them practically dry. “I don’t have any money to splurge on socks.”
Potter narrows his eyes. “You have four separate villas. One for each season of the year. You bought separate housing for each season because you said your skin couldn’t handle extremities in weather.”
I think this is my fav passage in any fic ever honestly)
Funny
Marietta Edgecombe’s Valentine Revenge by Rumaan, ONE-SHOT, T
Marietta Edgecombe has been waiting for years to get her revenge on Hermione Granger. Narcissa Malfoy soon presents the perfect opportunity and Marietta is going to grab it with both hands.
(featuring an extremely oblivious Hermione, a frustrated Draco and Narcissa as a fervent Dramione shipper)
Dragon Hide by JDPhoenix, CHAPTERS: 4, K+
True Love Tattoos. A Weasley Wizard Wheezes Product. True Love Tattoos reach deep into your subconscious mind, marking your skin for up to two weeks with a symbolic representation of your soul mate.
Plot holes by Recipe, ONE-SHOT, K+
There’s a new marriage law that no one likes. “The board has communed and has voiced a unanimous decision protesting this route, sir. If you proceed as planned, you will lose in the next election.” In which there are 82 plot holes and a beta is needed.
(I LOVE this one, it is so funny, so on point, and yet still has that Dramione spark we all love.)
Letters from a Wrathful Draco by Londra, ONE-SHOT, T
Contains DHr. I don’t know why you are doing all this to me, but I do not appreciate it. Let’s get this straight before people actually get mixed up about who the hell I am. Draco’s letter expressing his wrath to almost everything written about him.
(Yet another cliché fic, very funny.)
A proper expression of gratitude by greenschist, ONE-SHOT, T
Never again will Hermione leave Draco alone with a stack of blank cards and their address book.
Introduce someone with a thoughtful detail by captainraychill, ONE-SHOT, M16 (T?)
To Hermione Granger’s irritation, Draco Malfoy mocks her newest social skill.
Angsty
Thirty times lucky by galfoy, TWO-SHOT, M
“Granger, I can’t hire you on any longer,” Draco said. Hermione stared at him. Losing her job might actually mean losing the War, and she had to bargain, but there was literally nothing she had that he would want. Or was there?
(This one is, well, yeah… angsty, harsh and raw and something else…)
Sometimes by raa, ONE-SHOT, T
The friend Ron’s asked over is not Harry.
(Spoiler; It’s Malfoy)
Thin line by Kra4, CHAPTERS: 3, M
There is a thin line between the old year and the new; between love and pain; between anger and lust; between enemies and… something altogether else.
How we imagined light by horcruxnumber8
The war is over, and while the rest of the Wizarding World drowns their sorrows in champagne and celebratory balls, Hermione finds comfort in an unconventional way…and with the most unexpected person. D/Hr, EWE.
Smutty
Not the runes by girly_curl_3, ONE-SHOT, NC-17
“Do you know you turn pink when you talk about Runes?”
Motivational Speaker by alisanne, ONE-SHOT, NC-17
The speaker was very good. Too bad Hermione despised him.
(‘despised’. Sure…. Suuuuure ;) )
Spontaneous desires by kalina-blue, ONE-SHOT, M
There was a reason why Hermione preferred to think everything through before acting. Spontaneity just gets you into all kinds of trouble. Same goes for Slytherins. Post-DH, Draco/Hermione
The Wrong Man & Swingers & an Inconvenient Wedding & Blame it on the Rhine and honestly everything from Snegurochka, she writes such real, complicated characters and her smut is just *fans self*
The Wrong Man ONE-SHOT, E
A man who looked very much like Draco Malfoy walked into Hermione’s office, brandishing a piece of parchment and a pitch-perfect insult. That would have been right before she grabbed him by the front of his robes and dragged him inside, silently thanking her husband, the inventors of Polyjuice potion, and anyone else who might have had a hand in making her secret fantasy come to life for Valentine’s Day. That also would have been one hour and fifteen minutes ago.
(I LOVE THIS ONE)
Swingers ONE-SHOT, E
Blaise threw the best coin parties in town: all you had to do was show up with something in mind, something your spouse would never do, and drop your coin in the bowl. The magic would do the rest to find your match. One spectacular shag later, you’d worked it out of your system. Theoretically, that is.
(Also featuring Ron/Pansy)
An Inconvenient Wedding ONE-SHOT, E
When Scorpius and Lily announce their engagement, it really couldn’t come at a worse time for Draco and Hermione.
Blame it on the Rhine ONE-SHOT, E
It was the art show of the year (or so Hermione insisted), hosted at Draco and Pansy’s elite gallery. Enter Harry Potter, dragged there against his will and lacking any art appreciation skills whatsoever. It might not be so bad, if he could only stop thinking about what happened the last time he and Pansy were in the same room for more than an hour. (Draco/Hermione is more background here though, it’s mostly Harry/Pansy)
Hex before Sex by Captainrainchill & Eilonwy & Unseen Librarian, ONE-SHOT, M
“Devious? Moi?” The smile deepened and became faintly wolfish. “I meant what I said yesterday, Granger. I’ve loads of project ideas to discuss with you. But why work in a stuffy office when we can be ever so much more…” He paused, a sly and undeniably lusty glint in his eye. “… comfortable right here?”
In the darkness all cats are grey by AkashaTheKitty, TWO-SHOT, NC-17
Hermione has a secret assignation at the Ravenclaw dormitories. So does Draco. Seems like they both will get what they want, just not from who they thought…
Role-playing your old enemy by evilalice, ONE-SHOT, E
Hermione and Draco’s constant fighting escalates to the point where their boss at the Ministry has to step in. As punishment, they’re ordered to do a role-playing exercise—one (work) week of behaving like they think the other acts, in all situations. The results aren’t entirely what the boss had in mind.
Honourable mention:
Physically Impossible by Twilight to Midnight, ONE-SHOT, M
Physically impossible? Pfft! Not for Draco Malfoy! He makes the impossible possible and Hermione is about to find that out for herself.
Blindsided by secretdiary, ONE-SHOT, M
It’s the last night of school, and Hermione Granger has something to prove.
Drabbles
Drabble Dabbles by Mihn, COLLECTION (my favs: 3, 9, 17 and especially 4, 45 and 88 but they’re honestly all golden)
Possession by dayflow, DRABBLE, K+
.
Just A Quickie Lil’ Dramione Drabble by dayflow, COLLECTION, T
Because, apparently, the only thing I can write is Dramione Drabbles. Various Genres and Ratings.
Happy Birthday, Mudblood by dayflow, DRABBLE, K+,
In Which Hermione Granger decides to Hate Draco Malfoy.
Chocolate Frog Card by The-Dragon’s-Secret, DRABBLE, T
People are always complaining about Chocolate Frogs or Chocolate frog cards. And it was no different for the brunette in the waiting room …
Hermione’s shirt by champagne for the pain, DRABBLE, T
(See prompt inside)
I LOVE THIS ONE- found it on tumblr and have gone back only like a million times.
Read at your own risk (very dark)
Every Way You Look At This by Tamlane, ONE-SHOT, R
Sometimes it’s difficult to tell who is indebted to whom. Which really has little to do with the means of collection, when you’re a Malfoy.
Multi Chapters (I almost never read MC’s, and when I do I almost never read them twice. These are a few that I did read twice, or that I go back to and sometimes read parts. These are also the ones that didn’t quite fit in any other category. I know I listed some other MC’s above)
Complete:
The Green Girl by Colubrina, CHAPTERS: 22, T
Hermione is sorted into Slytherin; how will things play out differently when the brains of the Golden Trio has different friends?
The Nymph Hunt by AkashaTheKitty, CHAPTERS: 5, T
Sometimes you’re a hag in a nymph’s body, and sometimes you’re just a witch trying to hide the nymph in you…
Sacrifice by Kyra4, TWO-SHOT, M
Hermione sacrifices her virginity for a good cause.
What a difference a night makes by Kyra4, CHAPTERS: 5, M
DHr prefects, top students in their year and Houses. Makes sense that they’d be chosen by the faculty for an honors project that requires them to be locked in the astronomy tower all night. Will they fall for each other or rip each other apart?
Nobility by olievieblake, Chapters: 22, M
When a tyrannical king takes the throne by the blood-stained tip of his sword, two women find themselves tangled in his search for power. Who is the pawn and who is the queen, and what will they sacrifice for love? Hansy/Tomione, eventual Dramione. Royalty AU.
In progress:
In another life by marana1, M
She walked over to the huge, full-length mirror. Staring back was her eleven-year-old self but with long, beautiful, silky platinum blonde hair and pale skin. Hermione ran her fingers through her hair, the reality of the situation sinking in. The fairy hadn’t just made them switch places for a day… she sent them back in time and switched their lives.
The Pretense by Colubrina, T
Voldemort died, but the Death Eaters live on. Hermione Granger traded herself to Draco Malfoy in exchange for safe passage for core Order members. Now he’s pretending to love her, Narcissa is pretending to believe that, and Hermione is walking a tightrope behind enemy lines as she figures out what is going on. Unfortunately, people fall off tightropes.
Discontinued: (but still hoping for an update one day, they are SO GOOD)
Disasterology by provocative_envy, CHAPTERS: 9, E
She wakes up at exactly midnight on the eve of her nineteenth birthday—
She screams.
For Every Action by Philyra912 CHAPTERS: 1, T
When Draco Malfoy’s attempts to change the past collide with Hermione Granger’s attempts to change the future, the line between what is and what should have been begins to blur.
Like Brothers by Colubrina, CHAPTERS: 41, T
Minerva McGonagall steps in on the awful night the Potter are killed and arranges to have Harry Potter raised by Sirius Black and his somewhat cousins, the Malfoys. Draco and Harry grow up as almost brothers and everything - everything - is different. Gryffindor!Draco.
Honorable mentions:
(I read them. I enjoyed them. I did not go back. All complete)
Seven Times by kerriclifford240879, CHAPTERS: 7, M
Seven times can mean a lifetime of change.
A wonderful caricature of intimacy by Countess of Abe, CHAPTERS:25, M
Draco loves his son more than anything in the world. So, when his ex-wife plans to take his son away, Draco asks the most unlikely person for help. Hermione must decide whether changing her entire life is worth helping the man she hates unconditionally.
Once upon a Thyme by zensho, CHAPTERS:  32, T
Draco and Hermione travel back in time and switch stations in life. Both learn tough lessons about family, honour and love.
Blood and Wine by JDPhoenix, CHAPTERS: 4, T
They have no idea what she’s doing, the danger she’s putting them all in because she’s too afraid to fail. But he saved her and that has to mean something.
Other Fic’s worthy of a mention
(Fic’s I sometimes go back to, or bookmarked to read again but never did, or just left me somewhat changed)
This Whirlwind by nightfalltwen, ONE-SHOT, M  (and read ALL of her other works, she’s an amazing writer. I particularly adore her Theo/Rose stories, she also has some good Draco/Rose stories and a cute little exterior series with Theo/Pansy. This is the one author I’ve read every work of.)
It’s difficult for her. She’s in love with two men for very different reasons that tug in all manner of directions.
Roofies, or in vino veritas by Colubrina, ONE-SHOT, T
Draco Malfoy rescues a rather inebriated Hermione Granger after he sees someone slip something into her drink. Drunken conversation ensues.

“You’re not a very good person,” She starts when he finally turns back to face her. “But you could be.”
We were broken (once before) by with_rhyme, ONE-SHOT, G

The Five kisses of Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger by dayflow, CHAPTERS: 2, T
Five kisses during their fifth year.
Road Buddy by luckei1, ONE-SHOT, T
I was walking along, minding my business, when out of the orange-coloured sky… Flash! Bam! Alakazam! Wonderful you came by…

Dealing with Draco Malfoy’s sudden involvement with the Order and his subsequent heroantics isn’t easy for Hermione. But some things change.

Hermione falls in love.
Side to Side by riptey, ONE-SHOT, T
Draco and Hermione are seated together at the Ministry’s annual Christmas Ball, and they might just get bored enough to discuss certain events in their shared past. On the other hand, maybe they’ll just get drunk.
To Us by Dramionevincetsemper, ONE-SHOT, T
‘To us,’ she says. ‘We make a good team.’
'Yeah,’ says Malfoy, his eyes flickering as he clinks his flute against hers; they’re more silver than grey, she thinks, before he blinks the disparity away. ‘We do.’
(Spoiler: yes. They do. Also featuring a tiny adorable snitch)
Shoreline by Lia (Liafic), ONE-SHOT, E

Triad fic’s
Translation is an Art Series ft. Theo Nott by acidpop25
               Devotion, ONE-SHOT, T
When Hermione returns to Hogwarts after the war, tentative new friendships conflict with old– and may even become something more.

Hermione enters into a relationship with Theo and Draco, and tries to repair her friendships along the way.
A Gentleman’s education by Musyc ft. Lucius Malfoy, ONE-SHOT, E

Just This Once by Musyc ft. Harry Potter, ONE-SHOT, E
Harry showed up at Hermione’s door after another lousy date just to chat. Instead, he got a surprise offer. More surprising was Draco’s permission to let his wife go through with it.

When Harry sees something he shouldn’t in the Pensieve, it changes his relationship with Hermione (and Draco Malfoy’s life) forever.
Months & days by ft. Cormac McLaggen by treeson, ONE-SHOT, E (I know, what was I thinking but take two gorgeous arrogant blonde men and our favourite little bookworm and you get this fantastic piece)
Hermione hated Quidditch Rotation, and the two men she had to treat just made it worse.
Autumn Daydreams ft. Blaise Zabini by uniquepov, ONE-SHOT, M
Hermione spends a rainy afternoon contemplating recent events.
Fingerprints by evilalice ft. Harry Potter, ONE-SHOT, E
Hermione and Harry have work to do. Draco, apparently, does not. Perhaps boredom is truly the mother of invention (or at least kink).
Silk by Kedavranox, ONE-SHOT, E
It’s the thought of Blaise’s dark limbs tangled with Draco’s lean, pale ones; hot breaths and white blond hair fanned out against Blaise’s deep red silk sheets that makes her say yes in the first place.
(+ sometimes I like to check out Hermione/Twins fics, and honestly everything on AO3 with Blaise or Theo (or Harry), but these are the ones that came to mind immediately)
My first love(s)
These two are the very first Dramione fic’s I ever read, back when I was fourteen years old (god, how can it be SO LONG AGO) and I didn’t have a fanfic.net account yet and had never heard about ao3 and clicked “yes I’m 18” (I now do that and feel terrible guilty for a moment before I remember that YES I AM OLDER THAN OLD ENOUGH). Anyways. I went back every day to check them out, hoping for an update (until I saw that the last time had been 2005 and it broke my heart) and I still love them so much.
The Ends of the Earth by Silverstar24, UNFINISHED, T (unfinished but still so good, like, would probably sell my soul to update, said it before, am saying it again, only kind of kidding)
“Granger,” he said softly, his voice fading. What?” she snapped. “I know where to find one of the Horcruxes.” He saw the shocked look on her face for a fleeting second before he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Simply Irresistible by bookworm1993, CHAPTERS: 30, T
Draco gave a cocky grin. “I am going to give you a makeover.” “I’m sorry what?” “You heard me Granger, I’m going to give you a makeover that will make every man want you,and make Weasley die of regret. You will be simply irresistible.”
(+ a bunch of stories from NJ Coffee Queen, but now they all seem a bit OOC to me, and once I went past that stage I never went back. Still, their story ideas are great and all complete. Worth a check out)
Fic’s I haven’t found yet
(Hermione & Draco organize a boss/coworker’s parents’ jubileum bash (after H wins two quidditch world cup tickets playing an illegal game of cards)
H is addicted to something only D can provide and has sex with him for it (on the carpet I think?)

holes in our hearts and dust on the road by Graydoll/Margarrita
Shameless self-advertising
Let it all go (but keep holding on) by Me (aka Shamelessly Radiant) (Please tell me what you think
After the war, Hermione and Draco learn to let go of the past, and build something new.

Guidelines: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20,  just list them all.) Choose your favourite opening line, tag some friends!
Thanks @andgladly for the tag. Their response can be found HERE.
Sooo....I tried to go in chronological order but failed.
1. Measure of a Man (Dramione)
The quietest people have the loudest minds.
2. The Dumbing Down of Love (Dramione)
Draco schemes.
3. Singularity (Dramione)
There was no beginning.
4. Anchors in a Storm (Dramione)
Draco hated making mistakes.
5. The Art of Seating Etiquette (Dramione)
There wasn't a single question that Hermione Granger couldn't answer.
6. Falling is like This (Rose/Scorpius)
Rose decided that if one more of her dad's old teammates threw an arm over her shoulder and said: "Nine more years until you turn thirty, Old Rose," she would black the fuck out. And when she came to, bad things would have happened.
7. The Pursuit of Happiness (Harry/Pansy, Dramione)
On the morning of Pansy's spring wedding, her mother lit a cig and told her that happiness in life wasn't earned, it was bought and paid for.
8. Broken (Dramione, Pansy/Blaise)
When Hermione was young, someone once told her that life was the best teacher. Each lesson it taught, each test it handed out, would remain etched in her mind for eternity.
9. Seven Days in April (Dramione, Harry/Pansy)
The sound of the howling wind, the distant rustling trees, and the groaning and creaking of weak branches seemed to echo into the silence of night.
10. The Rings of Uncertainty (Dramione)
There was no white Christmas in London that year. Just a bitterly cold one that made Hermione question just why he wanted to meet in a park today, of all days.
11. Judas' Kiss (Rose/Scorpius)
"Again!"
12. Ceiling Tiles (Draco/Hermione)
Seventy-seven tiles comprise the ceiling; perfect squares that stretch from all four walls.
13. Ready Ankles (Draco/Hermione, Ron/Pansy)
"No."
14. Fourteen Months (Harry/Pansy)
Harry almost wrote to her and told her not to come.
15. Recipe for Disaster (Harry/Pansy)
It all started with two words.
16. For Better or Worse (Harry/Pansy)
It was a strange thing. It was electricity, a feeling, a gut instinct…and no one could control it.
17. Ordinary People (Dramione)
"That's it! I can't take all this bloody moping anymore!" Ginny spins me around to face her, bracing both hands on my shoulders. "You were doing so well when we got here, Hermione, what happened?"
18. Japanese Blossoms (Dramione)
It was a stereotypical, storybook winter wonderland in Diagon Alley.
19. Set Fire to the Third Bar (Harry/Pansy)
It's day five, and here I am.
20. A Bit Like Love (Arthur/Merlin)
In Arthur’s opinion, his cousin, Morgana, had the worst superpower—of all time.
Tagging is hard because I'm sure we all did this on Facebook. Oh well, all the easier to copy and paste @floorcoaster @somandalicious @dreamsofdramione @takingflight48 @misdemeanor1331 @megamegaturtle

Hi everyone, a sad announcement: Someone has plagiarised my fic emotion in motion and has posted it as a Drarry here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/50822494/chapters/128388862#workskin
Please join me in reporting this theft to AO3 and in leaving comments on the fic demanding the “author” take it down. Apparently everything they post is stolen. Help me stop them!
Thank you!

Bad Omens - Chapter 3 posted
Tumblr media
Read on AO3
Dramione with bonus Panville | crack treated seriously | prank wars | prophecies | idiots-to-lovers | fake dating | Good Omens inspired Chapter excerpt:
“I was a perfectly pleasant child! If I ever became anything else, it was only after people started trying to kill me! You, on the other hand—”
“It’s leviOsa, not leviosA.” Draco made his voice as high as it would go, which was not very. “That was the absolute beginning of my wanting to murder you, which means you started the whole thing. Oh god, not the notebook! Don’t tell me you have a ten-point plan for saving the world?”
Her little black notebook was held carefully in front of her face so as to hide the contents from Draco.
“Nine points, actually. Do you think it should have ten? I could—”
He liberated the book from between her unsuspecting fingers. “Step one: Acquire the child. Yes, well done. Glad you had it written or I would’ve forgot. Step two: Develop believable cover story. Why not just, ‘Hello everyone, this is the Granger-Malfoy love child I’ve been secreting away for years.’ Everyone’ll be too shocked to ask questions, and they won’t be the least surprised when she goes on to destroy the world, given her lineage.”

My Top 10 (actually 9) Dramione Fic Reccemmendations:
I am not a terribly avid reader of angst-filled fics (sorry, Manacled fans). This list will be mostly romcom / fluffy, major slow burns, and Draco POV. I have included a few more serious fics, but they are just so well written / interesting, that they made my list. Without further ado, and in no particular order, my Top 9 Dramione Fics:
1. To one one's surprise, and not being overhyped at all (I'm completely serious), is Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love. This one needs no description due to its popularity, so I will only add to the hype. I have always been a fan of adventure-romance (e.g. Romancing the Stone, Princess Bride, Stardust, Love and Monsters, Shrek, A Knight's Tale, and, not to get repetitive, The Lost City), but this was the first fanfiction I read with such dedication to an interesting, funny, and, at times, suspenseful story. I also love seeing Draco fall first and his unreliable narration in Hermione's feelings for him. I adore the characterization of / relationships between characters (not just Draco and Hermione) as well as the way the author develops the existing magic system. It is definitely a slow burn with misunderstandings. I'm not a big fan of misunderstandings after they are together because I think it's lasy, and I will stop reading it. In this fic, however, the author makes sure that the 'will they won't they' isn't over done.
2. A Cosmology of Blacks, Malfoys, and Assorted Individuals. This one is in process, but updates are consistent, and I am hooked. Draco POV only. Not only does this fic have the best name, it also includes many anecdotes of Black history (particularly focused on Narcissa, Andromeda, and Bellatrix) while also tying in a romance plot. The story begins with Andromeda confronting Narcissa, and the Black family to be reunited. Draco meets Hermione again for the first time post-graduation, but something is wrong with Hermione's magic. They slowly become friends and Draco develops feelings. This one is on the angsty side, but it's nothing dark or war-based. It is decidedly cosy. I absolutely love any fic that casts a parallel between Andromeda and Ted and Draco and Hermione (I also love supportive Harry who compares them to his parents).
3. The Disappearances of Draco Malfoy. This is another popular one that deserves the hype. This one was outside my comfort zone as it is fairly heavy on the angst. BUT I think it is a really imaginative retelling of DH. If you are unfamiliar, the author rewrites the end of HBP wherein Draco accepts Dumbledore's offer of help. He is then forced to accept the protection of people who hate him and whom he hates. This is a true Enemies to Friends to Lovers story. It has a mixed POV. This story is full of mystery, suspense, plot twists, romance, and angst. This is another one that explores the magic system in an interesting way.
4. It Happened in Egypt is another romcom adventure fic. It is funny, mysterious, and action-packed. In this story, Hermione is in Egypt on a 'holiday' and runs into Draco who is drunk and has been robbed (no wallet or wand). As the author says, this fic is a love story to the Nile and Egyptian Mythology. Great for history lovers. And while this story is a relatively quick burn, there is still a major chunk of mutual pining.
5. Scary Partner Privilege is another in progress piece, but it is so creative. It is Draco POV. He and Hermione (a no-nonsense-to-the-point-of-rudeness cop) are paired as elite aurors. Each chapter is a different case like in Brooklyn 99 or other cop shows with the overall plot of their tumble into romance. This Hermione is a complete BAMF, and Draco is a darling.
6. Distance is a split POV fic. Hermione is a new Unspeakable and Draco is an auror who hasn't been given a real case. They end up teaming up to investigate a mysterious magical figurine. Another adventure fic set in the Indus Valley. Such a fun concept. Another one that is a good read for history lovers.
7. Lavender Scones and Second Chances is the final in progress story I have on this list. This story is mostly here for vibes (cosy) because the research that brought them together is more periphery than anything. But it is still a sweet story that I am excited to watch develop.
8. Love and Other Historical Accidents is Jane Austen meets Harry Potter. Hermione and Draco get sent back to the late Georgian / early Regency period in magical Wiltshire. Lots of classic Austen tropes and plot lines. It is an established dynamic between them, and Draco is already in love with Hermione.
9. Soft As It Began is a unique story wherein Harry vanished the day after the Battle of Hogwarts. Almost 5 years later, Hermione, with help from Draco (they are investigative journalists), travels around Europe looking for him. This story plays with the story of The Three Brothers and the Deathly Hallows. I just love all the characterizations in this fic.

Wondering why my anxiety is so fucking high and why my body feels weird. Like, 'the end of the world is happening inside my bones' weird.
Then realized I'd been so migrained for the last 2 days that I'd forgotten all my mast cell stabilizers.

The narrative is already starting, saying that teachers shouldn't strike, we should just work to rule/ take action short of a strike. And part of me gets the appeal - teachers do a lot of unpaid overtime, a lot of schools really rely on goodwill to get things done. We'd show people just how much we do unpaid, right?
But I don't think it's the way to go. Strikes work, when they work, usually because they cause mass inconvenience to people. They hurt the economy. Teacher strikes don't hurt the economy directly, but they're disruptive because parents have to take time off work to look after their kids. And the impact of a school being shut is clear and visible.
I get that it feels difficult to walk out, to shut the school, but people will notice it straight away. It'll take months for parents to notice working to rule. They might whine about no clubs or DofE or whatever, no extra revision classes, but it'll take a long time for any real educational impact to be visible. And there will be a long term negative impact on the kids. Plus you'll have SLT guilting us into just doing a little bit extra, please?
I'm in favour of a short, sharp strike, where we escalate quickly and hopefully get a quick victory. Many schools close for a few days in the winter due to bad weather anyway. It's not ideal, but the kids recover. A whole term of working to rule will cause real damage and probably achieve little.

sorry but I am not subscribing to our society's disgusting obsession with youth. when I turn 30 I'm going to be really happy and throw a party and be elated at how much I will have grown by then, the same way I did when I turned 10 and celebrated finally being 'double digits'. When I turn 40 I will be ecstatic. There are good and bad things about every age but there is no way my 20s are going to be the best years of my life because I am still barely getting to know myself. By 30 I hope to be very well-acquainted
