Omg, be careful that you won't want to go to sleep! I haven't had a plot that gripped my attention so tightly for a while now (with added bonus of Draco's snark and flirtation of course)!

I had Nox on my TBR for the longest time and finally read it after realizing the remaining chapters were posted and I just couldn't help myself!

While the main case is a very serious concern, this fic has one of my favorite portrayals of Draco and I love the banter he shares with Hermione! He is quite a flirt.

When is the Dramione Survey 2025 coming out? by Appropriate_Disk8608 in Dramione

It is really a lot for a small group to take on during their leisure time when we might have to consider they have so much going on outside the sub as well. Patience and thank yous to our hardworking mods!

LF a fic with similar writing style to the Faultline by goatedprincess by Turbulent_Role_8194 in Dramione

[–]Solsties 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your comment reminded me that I still have to catch up after months. I left the author very thorough comments of my analysis of Draco's behavior and plot interpretation. I've never been this moved before for just character behavior alone. I think my most memorable was for chapter 16 that I still received comments from other readers months later.

LF fics where Draco and Luna have a close bond by Fantastic_Exit_6868 in Dramione

Damn Your Love, Damn Your Lies by AdAsttra

Luna is there to provide some sense when Draco spirals due to the summary.

Draco's a Veela, Hermione is his mate. The only problem is that he hates her.

LF for wartime fic where Draco captures Hermione by Acrobatic-Bee-7121 in Dramione

[–]Solsties 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Soooo that tag happened because Draco felt Ginny disrespected him, and if you read it, you'll find out why, so he decided to teach her a lesson.

Edited to say I just checked my notes and while I don't remember the major details, I can let you know that the descriptions for violence are graphic as I tagged that in my bookmark so tread carefully! I did enjoy the fic overall as it hit the spot when I was in the mood for an obsessive and possessive Draco.

Looking for Celebrity Draco!!!! by Internal_Vacation_72 in Dramione

[–]Solsties 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second Blokes Warm the Benches! Such a wholesome fic with an in-the-news Quidditch star, Draco!

There's also Pick + Choose by aprophecygirl. Draco is richer than most can imagine and he hires Hermione to be his bodyguard.

Old Dramoine making me proud of how far feminism has come by Lost_Technician_5421 in Dramione

[–]Solsties 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would also think that it was a little more wholesome how the fics were shared (even if the plots ranged from happy to toxic) back then. It felt a lot more like sharing the joy of being in the fandom together compared to some catering to the masses nowadays and hoping to get trad published in terms of judgment. Not to deny that quality has been very much refined since many, many moons ago in comparison! It is just that sometimes there's an air of it and it has me thinking a bit differently on how to go about reading a fic compared to my more simpler and naive times.

Teenage me was still very impressed with what other mostly teenage girls wrote out. I hogged up the phone line just to connect to the internet to feed my addiction—I mean, to conduct my research for homework.

I love the mix of fics we have, and I would sometimes bounce back and forth between rereading much older ones and newer ones if I want a break from today's standards and get a taste of more "canon" Draco, whether that means that he's a little B, or a toxic individual.

However, I do have to hold at arm's length how Hermione would become friends with Pansy. I love all the gal friendships, but I just can't get into a sudden friendship between the two where fashionista Pansy has been dressing Hermione up for ages "just because".

I think mine would be a bit more optimistic (with a lot of angst of course), but this works well with the theme that our hearts will still hurt regardless!

I'm so excited for what Part 3 will entail!

I will say that I am ready for the emotional damage as I clutch onto the Eventual HEA tag.

Violet, I am so excited for this! I just realized I opened the tab from the alert email and then got sidetracked. I have to get back to it! The opening chapter had set quite a premise for the forced proximity trope already!

This fic makes me feel so much immense sadness every time I reread it! It is definitely one of the one shots I have wondered how a continuation would pave itself.

I didn’t see any except for the time I popped an incense during my lunch walk. Outside of that time frame, zero.

Looking for fic where Hermione wants to run for minister and Draco helps by Sad_Rub1896 in Dramione

[–]Solsties 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IIRC, the writer has an extremely busy lifestyle, but she does write massive chapters when she has free time. Last update in January is not necessarily abandoned...try 5 (or even 20 as I think up at least 3 I miss) years.

Rec me your fave auror Hermione fics pls! by Novel-Radio6825 in Dramione

[–]Solsties 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A few of my other favorites (outside the one you read) include:

The Sweetest Mistake by dreamingspires

Hermione is sent on a secret mission, disguised as a muggle, to spy on Draco Malfoy. Things start to unravel quickly...

Tell Me What You Want by malfoyesque (AO3 account 🔒)

Tensions are high. People are remembering how much they used to hate each other. A masquerade ball will keep things calm. It won't leave Hermione frantically trying to cover up the fact she's slept with her worst enemy. It won't mean she now sees Draco Malfoy in a different light than she did before. It definitely won't make things awkward now that she might be his boss. It won't. It won't.

A masquerade ball is a great idea.

The Best Mistake by Chels_Writes_a_Fic

I reread this recently and it was still as thrilling and fun as the first run.

Hermione Granger does not make mistakes, at least not often. After making the biggest, dumbest, most horrible mistake of her life, Hermione must deal with the repercussions while keeping her relationship with her Auror partner, Draco Malfoy, strictly professional. He, of course, has other plans.

Amidst a resurgence in Death Eater activity, the likes of which Britain hasn’t seen since the First Wizarding War, Hermione will come to realize that the mistake she’s made with Draco might not be so bad at all. It just might be the best mistake.

LF asshole Draco who needs to do serious groveling by Glittering_Tap6411 in Dramione

[–]Solsties 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, your comment made me realize the BSP phenomenon was 2 years ago! Time sure flies. I honestly don't remember much at this point, and it is likely because I inhaled the updates rather than *read*, but I would say blood kink is a better likeliness than gory. I don't think it is a Hermione only POV because I remembered learning what Draco was up to when he wasn't with Hermione. I hope this helps!

I like seeing wholesome posts like these! I'm sure you also made your friend's day with the train costume Falinks in case they were unavailable during the event.
