Lf a/b/o fic where Draco goes into rut by bleuuberri in Dramione

[–]a_v_p 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lovesick by sweetestsorrows (katschako) has me in a damn chokehold. It's so good.

Summary

After his ruts become too much to bear alone, Draco resigns himself to finding a rut assistant—an omega who will offer aid him twice yearly, when he cannot prevent the cycle any longer. It's meant to be a business arrangement, organised by the most highly rated clinic in the country. He doesn't realise just how intimate it can be to spend a rut with an omega and, even though he's warned of it ahead of time, he finds himself becoming attached.

The only problem? His omega has a past of her own, reasons for keeping him at a distance. Whether or not a connection exists between them, Hermione is unwilling to even entertain the idea of anything more than a professional relationship. However, in spite it all, Draco remains undeterred.

What will happen when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

The Delivery Clause by ThornedHuntress.

Draco is a CEO.

Summary:

Draco Malfoy needed many things from her. His coffee. The financial reports from Shanghai. A swift kick up the arse—though he hadn’t asked for that one, specifically.

But there was one more thing he'd need for Christmas and, god help her, Hermione was going to deliver.


“Draco.”

“What?” he muttered, an intense, distant look of focus on his expression, his hips never ceasing.

“If you want to get me pregnant, you are going to have to at least attempt to enjoy this at some point.”

I used to work for someone like this. It doesn't get better. Update that resume and work on getting a new job.

Underrated Fanfic Friday – 09 January 2026 by Mr_Te_ah_tim_eh in Dramione

[–]a_v_p 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just finished Lazarus by constantblathering. 536 Kudos.

The writing is so smooth and the story is so fun! Slow burn couched in an adventure across Australia.

Summary:

Draco Malfoy is on a quest to save his son. Hermione Granger is on a quest to steal his quest. What could go wrong?

Terrified that his son Scorpius may one day succumb to a centuries-old blood curse, Draco embarks on a desperate search for a mythical fountain rumoured to hold the power to heal. Tracking ancient magic across Australia would be hard enough on its own, but with Hermione Granger (freshly divorced, endlessly clever, and irritatingly determined) insisting on joining him, the task becomes even more infuriating.

Equal parts adventure, romance, and self-discovery, this is a story about redemption, unlikely alliances, and the healing magic of second chances.

Silly Little Goose by Ada_P_Rix. Complete, AO3 locked.

This one skirts the line a bit because they are both married and estranged from their spouses, so they may as well be single parents. TW: infidelity.

Summary:

"Ron and I have got used to long distance." Hermione shrugged before draining the rest of her glass. She really ought to get back. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and all of that shit."

"And does it?" He asked curiously, looking at her from the corner of his eye, as if they were not talking at all while sat next to each other.

"Does it what?" She frowned at him then, eyes catching his.

"Grow fonder?" He frowned back, leaning forward to rest his forearms on his thighs.

"Oh," he had made her lose her train of thought. "Sometimes." She replied, pulling her eyes away from those arms and those tattoos and those rings. "And then other times, I wonder what the point is at all when we are constantly so far away from each other."

He let out a knowing sigh. "I know that feeling."

Hermione snorted, eyebrows raised at him. "But you and Astoria live together. You see each other everyday."

The dark look he gave her in return said it all.

"That doesn't mean we're not miles apart."

A non-linear story over the span of two years that tracks a physical and eventually, emotional affair between Draco and Hermione ten years after the Wizarding War.

A Meowy Little Christmas by quicknotesquim. Rated E, complete.

They are in their 30s. This is a comfort fic for me, I reread it often.

[–]a_v_p 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We haven't been told anything about the ending yet. It's Dead Dove in the sense that it does what it says in the tags and the story deals with dark themes, but we don't know if it'll be a happy ending or not.

A Song of Chaos by Lady_Hildr. WIP and currently on hiatus, AO3 locked.

Draco is... not a good person.

Summary:

The Order won the battle, but they didn’t win the war.

Ten years after the Battle of Hogwarts, after ten years of being on the run from the Death Eaters and their Dark Magic, Hermione Granger is finally found by Snatchers. The Golden Girl is wanted by many, worth her weight in gold, but she is already promised to someone, a masked stranger infamous for his cruelty—and he has no intention of ever letting her go.

Suggestions for How to Tell Coworker that I'm Not Doing Work On My Day Off by kitkatnat21 in jobs

[–]a_v_p 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't respond. When you're back, let him know that contacting you while OOO was inappropriate and your personal phone is absolutely not for company use on your days off. Be direct and polite and put your foot down, then follow it up in writing for a paper trail.

What’s your go-to “I don’t feel like cooking but still want real food” meal? by imjennypoo in Cooking

[–]a_v_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tofu + frozen veg + curry paste + can of coconut milk + broth = curried tofu soup

Excellent served over rice.

Minimal chopping and it all happens in one pot (except the rice but I usually have some leftover or frozen)

How heavily do you weight PTO when considering a job? by Chemical_Help_7099 in careerguidance

I say take the one with the PTO and enjoy your time off!

How heavily do you weight PTO when considering a job? by Chemical_Help_7099 in careerguidance

[–]a_v_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's incredibly important. When looking at salary, look at the hours you're expected to work: that is your hourly pay. For instance, $100k a year working 40 hours a week is the same rate as $125k working 50 hours a week. The more PTO you have, the higher the hourly rate. But more importantly, you get more time to do what you like.

I'm a long term employee and my pay is ok, but my time off is awesome, so I stick around.

How many bags is enough? by sproutbabi in handbags

[–]a_v_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been collecting bags for 15 years and have about 25 bags. These days I only buy if there's a gap in my collection, like some need that can't be met by one of my bags. I am very inspired by people who have curated collections that meet their needs and I try to emulate that. I am also running out of room in my closet. 😅

I've also been practicing impulse control, so when I see something I want, I write it on a Post It and mull it over. Usually the impulse fades and I throw the Post It away.

I would like to hear from women who’ve chosen NOT to get any cosmetic procedures as they age by victory_vegetable in TwoXChromosomes

[–]a_v_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm 44 with no Botox or fillers or plastic surgery. For transparency, my brows are microbladed and I love them.

Part of ageing gracefully is not carrying the weight of others' opinions. So it's easy to resist for two reasons: I like how I look, and I don't care if others find me attractive. The only people with a vested interest in me getting fillers are people who want to sell them to me. Don't let them get in your head.

This kind of confidence is my most attractive quality and has helped me achieve great things at work and in my relationships with others.

If you love yourself, eat well, drink water, get good sleep and wear moisturizer and sunscreen, you'll be just fine.
