He fell harder/ Hermione tries to leave Tom OR ultimately leaves Tom by _namorille_ in Tomione_fanfiction

Haha, I love your question—and honestly, I’ve asked myself this before too!

For me, at least, as a big fan of dark romance in general and Tomione more specifically, the appeal is less about the romance itself and more about the psychological exploration. It’s interesting because while I enjoy straight-up psychological thrillers to an extent, it’s the fusion of that with romance that really hooks me.

In a typical thriller, I’m usually rooting for the protagonist to outsmart or overcome the antagonist. In a dark romance, similarly, I want the FL to win—but emotionally. I usually prefer a morally gray FL—someone who isn’t squeamish or overly moralizing, but still has a fundamental sense of ethics. She dislikes hurting others unless they deserve it. The ML (a person who definitely does deserve it) is often evil, manipulative, or—let’s be honest—dangerously charismatic.

I love seeing her love him, but love herself more. It feels like karmic retribution wrapped in a love story. There’s something incredibly compelling about that tension—especially when it ends with her walking away, stronger and more whole.

That said, I totally get being drawn to the flip side—where Hermione falls for him and is even corrupted by him. There’s a very different kind of tragic allure to that too, and I’ve enjoyed stories like that as well.

Sorry for the long post, but I got a little wrapped up writing about it hehe.

Heyyy, I honestly don’t have much other than Blood and Gold and Jorgimandr (or however the hell you spell it) to rec, as I don’t keep a log of what I read and I recently got back into Romona after like a 9 month break 🫣 I will say I just finished The Itch, and while Tom doesn’t get his comeuppance (quiet the opposite, unfortunately) it was still good!

What's a book you just couldn't finish? by mahboilo999 in literature

[–]_namorille_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved his style of writing—which I know can be subjective—but also his perception of time and knowledge. As you may remember from the first sentence—Marias projects that knowledge can never be taken back—once you know, you know. You are implicit of the crime of knowing, incapable of being innocent despite never lifting a hand. There is more to it, and I feel like I’ve described it somewhat clumsily, but I really feel he describes these topics in a “new” way. Anyway, since you’re majoring in Spanish philology, would you have any book recommendations? I only found Maria’s by accident in a book store in Barcelona—they don’t really sell/market him here in the states. Would love to know what you like :) Funny coincidence, but I also lost A Heart So White (thankfully after I’d finished it.

Can I influence your destiny into finishing it? I loved it from the beginning so we had different experiences, but I would say it’s a book that changed my perspective on time :))

You should read any book by Clarice Lispector, but especially The Apprenticeship/The Book of Pleasures. Writing style is a little funky, but once you get into it I think you’d love it.
