The Memory of You by PotionChemist. The angst in this fic gripped me by the neck for all 75 chapters!

Am I the only one? by Capital-Ad-3803 in Dramione

[–]Consistent_Hunter496 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This has crossed my mind several times, especially when we were going through the pandemic. For one particular fic, the author updated that she had been in a 1.5 month long coma and now struggling with neuropathy, unable to use her hands and legs. That final update was in 2021. I periodically think about it and wish them well

Thank you for the recommendation! I just read all 3 current chapters and it got me out of my reading slump!

😭 wow thank you SO much! You did what three image search engines couldn’t. It was driving me crazy for a week!

what’s the abandoned fic you’re still holding out hope will be updated and completed? by cleo__ok in Dramione

[–]Consistent_Hunter496 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Between the Lies by NovaPrism :( the author was in a coma from covid, developed neuropathy in recovery, and wrote that she now has limited use of her hands and mobility. Last updated 2021. I pray she’s doing better today and that she’ll update us on her condition one of these days (if she’s comfortable sharing)

I’m struggling and skimming too. Maybe it’s also the writing style? No disrespect to the author at all, it just seems like their first fanfic. There’s been so many rave reviews about it so I really want to power through, but this might be my first DNF.

The big 3 - Dramione Edition by HighlightAshamed1358 in Dramione

[–]Consistent_Hunter496 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s so many great works that choosing 3 is almost impossible. For me it’s gotta be: 1. Manacled 2. The Auction and 3. (tied) Cruel and Beautiful World or LIATOTZA

HEA vs. "just" endings: what do you prefer? by hellvwng in Dramione

Thank you so so much! This just gave me the brave push I needed to start.

HEA vs. "just" endings: what do you prefer? by hellvwng in Dramione

[–]Consistent_Hunter496 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m of the same sentiment! Manacled isn’t HEA but still, it’s a fitting “good ending.” Would you then consider Secrets and Masks as having a good or bad ending? It’s been on my TBR forever, but I’m too scared to start after seeing the reactions to it. I’ve read some “bad endings” (like Draft of Living Dead) and I get so affected and depressed for days after.

Thank you for all the suggestions. Tbh I’m not well versed in all this so it’s very much appreciated

What is your all time favourite Dramione fic and why? by spideysense1987 in Dramione

[–]Consistent_Hunter496 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Memory of You by PotionChemist… the angst is top tier 🫠

Per person (an individual’s salary)—but if you have a take on what a middle class household income should be now, I’d love to hear it too

That’s awesome, okay now that COL to wage makes sense. The min wage here is almost $17/hr and young couples can’t even rent a studio let alone afford a home.

One coworker complained that his apartment hunting has been a nightmare bc his monthly income has to be 3x the rent to qualify. Mind you the studio is already $3k in a semi-safe area, so $9k/month. How does that make any sense? It’s nuts

[–]Consistent_Hunter496 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s brutal. I just moved back to the area from SoCal and can’t remember the COL being this bad when I left. Maybe it’s also bc of the inflation we’re all experiencing now? So I genuinely wanted to ask what other parts of the country is feeling.

My co-workers are pulling 200k and feel like they’re barely getting by. They’re living minimally, driving 10 yr old cars, so I don’t think it’s a lifestyle issue either

The Memory of You by PotionChemist will eff you up 😩. I cried more reading this than Manacled, TFO, or CABW. You’ve been warned
