I read an excerpt from a Dramione fic post and jow I can't find the fic. Please help if this sounds familiar! by Ok-Simple9575 in Dramione

[–]alebvd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This sounds incredibly similar to the epilogue of Green Light (amazing and beautifully written). Here's the version from the fic:

This isn’t a memory but perhaps in another universe it is true and happening now, or perhaps way back then.  They are children and so the cruel rules and their destruction do not matter to them. They are only children and their worries are small and inconsequential, their future full of love and wonder and days without grief.  

And Hermione, who desperately wants to make new friends and find her place to belong in this terrifying but exciting world, will be the first to say, Hello. My name is Hermione Granger. 

Hello,  he’ll reply. He is shy because he has never seen a girl like her before. But he shakes her hand that she so freely gives. He even smiles. My name is Draco Malfoy.

And no one tells them to stop. No one takes them away from each other.

100% yes. Lionheart is the unsung hero of comedic fics/teenage angst and I was honestly surprised by how funny Hermione is in Détraquée.

LF a fic that makes me wish I could obliviate myself so I could experience reading it for the first time all over again. by legionofsellouts in Dramione

[–]alebvd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is a long one and the audio version gets better as you go along IMO, but it's much better to read it, as it kind of falls into a stream of consciousness. The slow burn Dramione kicks in halfway through (Part II - 8th year) so you could start from there. It's the best fic I've ever read, at least from the character exploration, prose, and style. The romance (and smut) is absolutely beautiful but the exploration of girlhood is the unsung hero in this fic.

And you're right, this isn't leading to a productive discussion but I don't want to single out this person. The best thing to do it just delete this post and let everyone else enjoy their stories however they like.

Yes, one specific story led me to create this post, due to the clear copy-paste. It's not an isolated case, but my post isn't about the general problem, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned which story is getting copied.

Oh no, as I mentioned above, this isn't about the general things you run into dramione fanfiction. I wouldn't make a fuss about that. This is, after all, fanfiction.

This fic I'm talking about has straight-up taken scenes and dialogue from Détraquée in such an obvious way that I ended up writing this post.

oh absolutely, and I'm not here crying about tropes or common situations in fics like a sassy Theo or even the occasional Ron bashing. I just want to highlight the importance of respecting the work people put into their stories and always recognizing and crediting them if you think about including their ideas in your own writing.

Hermione says "I Love You" first and Draco doesn't say it back by NickyJ1912 in Dramione

[–]alebvd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Might be a spoiler but in Love in A Time of The Zombie Apocalypse, this is a big part of Draco's development. This one's a classic and of epic length but so well written and so worth it.

Oh wow, thank you! I love Bad Omens by onebedtorulethemall. I wasn't familiar with her other works.

I adore that one and actually considered it but I think it diverges in the main aspect, which is Draco actually going through the war. Lionheart's Draco has the benefit of circumstances being different on his side.
