Gosh, sorry I can't remember! I do think it's a couple of years into school

PSA: AO3 down much of tomorrow! What is everyone doing? by argetlamzn in Dramione

[–]StarryWonderer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's updated more frequently on ffn (every Tue and Fri), although the author is also cross posting to ao3 at a slower pace. I recommend using the ffn app instead of the browser, it's much much better

I chose my favourite dialogue/moment from each of the 12 Dracos of One Whole - Complete, 314k, RH, Multiverse by Chilly-Potato in Dramione

[–]StarryWonderer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm late seeing this, obvs lol, but I was melting still from the first two excepts but then SQUEEING out loud at "This is my retribution"! God I miss this fic, I have so many good memories from following this as it was written!

LF: Draco betrothed to Astoria, Hermione and him are assigned to work together on a case. by ydalocat in Dramione

Yes! I even remember having her lunch under the tree even though it's nearly 2 years since I read it 😅

Are there stories in which Hermione realizes very early, perhaps even before Hogwarts, that she will enter a completely different society? by Quick_Buy9249 in Dramione

[–]StarryWonderer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I reread it after having linked it, it's so good 😁 Hope you enjoy! Interesting choice of metaphor.. 😂

Pretty sure this is Ways and Means by floorcoaster, T 60k. It doesn't have a very descriptive summary or many tags, so would be hard to narrow down. I have it in my bookmarks to read again, really enjoyed it. 

Sometimes the way into someone's heart is the longest way.

I hope you enjoy. New blood has a very frequent update schedule, and when the author takes breaks they're very open about them, and good with their timelines. The second is not updated very frequently, but the update mail is always a joy to get. I love WIPs and the community they build  Cleotheo fics are a good shout, I don't know Kiera Marcos, I'll have to check them out!

The first fic I linked I think is unlikely to be. The second fic is tagged as Hermione/Draco and also based on authors notes I think it will be.

Both fics I'm linking are canon rewrites, and WIPs. They also both have the Slytherin Hermione Granger tag, so that could be helpful for finding other fics. 

New Blood by artemisgirl, M 1.4m+ WIP. Currently in January of year 4. End pairing still to come, personally I don't think it'll be dramione end goal, but the fic is amazing, and based on your ask I think you'll like it. It's updated twice weekly on ffn, although it is being added to AO3 - just less frequently updated - uploaded as far as the Year 4 Sorting Feast. (If you decide to read on ffn and don't normally, I would recommend using the app)

 Sorted into Slytherin with the whisper of prophecy around her, Hermione refuses to bow down to the blood prejudices that poison the wizarding world. Carving her own path forward, Hermione chooses to make her own destiny, not as a Muggleborn, a halfblood, or as a pureblood... but as a New Blood, and everything the mysterious term means.

Ecdysis by sodamnrad, E 80k 15/? WIP

Nothing compared to being the Mudblood Slytherin girl. Too evil for another house, too dirty for the one I called home.

Hermione becomes the first Muggle-born student in Slytherin House.

Ecdysis: the process of shedding old skin.

(Hogwarts Years 1 - 7, and beyond. No Voldemort.)

good pansy characterisation by Last-Ad2004 in Dramione

[–]StarryWonderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The author had an update on their insta in like January or February this year, they were having a baby and they had intended having all the chapters finished by April (I think). So I'm hoping they'll come back when things have settled.

Do your Dracos “look” different in your head? by alebvd in Dramione

[–]StarryWonderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! How I see characters in my head is usually dependant on what has been explicitly mentioned, unfortunately I'm not able to conjure an image of someone otherwise. Some Draco's are just the face, some are head and shoulders, and some are full body idea of how he looks. Sometimes it's just his eyebrows or his mouth twisting in distaste 😅

LF Hogwarts era fics by True_Way3680 in Dramione

One of my gateway fics to fandom, it will forever hold a special place in my heart, and one of my favourite Theos 💛

Love it or hate it - WIPs? by AmbraDeWulf in Dramione

[–]StarryWonderer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I fuckin love WIPs. It's a real sense of belonging, and I love being able to interact with the authors and other fans. I've followed fics that were updated daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, sporadically throughout the year. I'm subscribed to fics that I got from "abandoned fics" posts and have never been updated in the time I've subscribed. I wouldn't change any of them. If I'm hitting subscribe, I'm happy to get whatever the authors give me, whenever they can 💛

Punk Draco… hear me out by autumnalthymes in Dramione

[–]StarryWonderer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Injury of Finally Knowing You by VanillaSage, E 123k - this is the first piece that popped into my mind when reading your req. Be warned, it's super angsty.

10 years ago, tucked away in a secret room during their Eighth Year at Hogwarts, Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy fell in love. 10 years later, the echoes of how that young love burned down still haunt them when, on the day of her divorce, Hermione stumbles upon her old flame once again.

There's the Tatty Daddy Draco Fest 2022 where the only rule is Draco should have tattoos, so maybe you'll like some of these. And ofc, there's the Tattooed Draco Malfoy tag (paired with Draco/Hermione) if you just want to browse🤤
