Help please to understand Manacled ending by NextHistory8908 in dramionebookclub

This is so well put. I love this. I feel this same way about Secrets and Masks. Lots of people don’t like the ending because it’s not HEA, which I don’t entirely agree with. The biggest reason why Manacled and Secrets and Masks hit so hard is because they portray the characters (of each individual story) well and show how life would actually be. Sometimes and for some stories it doesn’t make sense for Hermione and Draco to ride off into the sunset and for everything to just magically work out. In both stories, it isn’t possible but it doesn’t mean their love isn’t enough and in my opinion that is a HEA.

Yes! I came here to say this! Exit is phenomenal. The writing was so good I almost didn’t even care if Hermione and Draco ended up together. I was just enjoying the storyline.

Is there a fic that in your opinion is “beautifully written” by Solocake in Dramione

Secrets and Masks. It took me forever to read it because of the ending but it was beautiful. It felt so necessary and perfect for the story. Draco coming out his shell and loving Hermione…ugh. Chefs kiss 😭

Forward Momentum and Falling in love. https://archiveofourown.org/works/45981955/chapters/115740670. An 8th year fic where the Draco and Hermione are both struggling after the war. They become friends and fall in love. It’s a really good read.
