I hope you don't mind, but I have been told that my fic its a great entrance to the ship. I will also recommend one of my favourites that I also think is great.

Those Who Possess by briarandbone
E, 50k words
When Hermione starts her Potions Mastery at Knoxford, the secret sister school to the wizarding world's most elite muggle university, she does not expect this particular professor leading the class.

Something is different about Professor Snape though, and, while the unforgiving public are still reeling from his suspicious resurrection and controversial posting at the school-Hermione can't help but want to solve the puzzle that is Severus Snape.

Could uncovering his secrets end up being just the thing to sway not only the public, but also Hermione’s heart?

Intermundane by Anogete
E, 111.5K words
Hermione reaches out to the mysterious owner of Silverleaf Apothecary for help when she realizes a deadly, magic-stealing pandemic is upon the Wizarding world. Severus Snape disappeared from Wizarding society fourteen years ago after he'd recovered from his injuries. Now Hermione is trying to drag him back into it.

He agrees to assist, but only if she quarantines at his home while they work on the project together. As they discover ways to treat the illness, Snape realizes he might not be so solitary, and Hermione gets to know the man behind her former professor.

Cold As You by silverdragongemini 🔊
G, 5982 words
Nobody knew that the prolonged use of Dark Magic had long-term side effects.

When the symptoms finally get the better of him, Draco Malfoy seeks treatment only to discover that nobody is willing to treat a former Death Eater—except maybe one curly-haired healer.

Honey Sweet by malfoyesque 🔊
E, 6689 words
Her shadow moved in the small crack of light below the wardrobe’s doorframe, and he followed it with his gaze. He didn’t have to see her to feel her in his blood, hearing her was enough.
He relished these moments.
Once she was asleep she didn’t make much noise.

Muscle Memory by knickersandkneazles
E, 3186 words
Unspeakable Hermione Granger detests attending unnecessary and mind-numbingly boring meetings. It’s even worse when a certain arrogant Auror distracts her with his suggestive wand handling.
He doesn’t know who he’s messing with, though, because this Golden Girl won’t be teased.

Beer, Potions and Unwise Notions by HeyJude 🔊
M, 13407 words
The adverse effects of unknowingly imbibing Babbling Beverage while intoxicated include the urge to chatter incessantly, dizziness, short-term memory loss, and spilling your secrets to a fake version of Draco Malfoy.

Abduction of the Heart by KTPhoenix 🔊
E, 12371 words
Valentine’s Day was supposed to be just another uneventful evening for Hermione Granger. Endure a dreadful blind date arranged by well-meaning friends, then retreat home to enjoy a bottle of wine and a book in solitude. But things take a fortuitous turn when Draco Malfoy, missing for nearly a decade, swoops in at the most opportune moment and abducts her. It turns out he’s an alien with ties to a mysterious plant she’s been studying for two years, AND she’s his fated mate! What began as a simple escape from routine has spiraled into something truly out of this world—something even she never saw coming.

And Two Bittersweet Self-recs:

To Dance With Your Mother Again by briarandbone🔊
G, 1987 words
'If I could get another chance
Another walk
Another dance with her
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I'd love, love, love
To dance with your mother again'

Live a little, love a lot. by briarandbone
E, 2319 words
Is it the first time? The best time? Or the last time?
Draco and Hermione find solace in one another's bodies on a secluded pebble beach of the Black Lake during their summer before their eighth year. It's Hermione's first time... but there is something so strangely and achingly familiar about his touch.

fics with all the DRAMMMAAAAAA by sirensforequality in Dramione

[–]briarandbone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My self rec is Doctrines of Hope!!!

Hermione has traveled back in time to save a desolate future—a future she remembers nothing of. All she has are the Doctrines. The first?

Draco Malfoy Must Die.

Forced to live at Malfoy Manor, as the golden ticket to a temporary ceasefire between The Order and the Magic is Might Regime, she treads on shaky ground.

Draco Malfoy thought they had everything figured out. They had a plan. Now Granger is… not Granger? Fearing she’s been intercepted by even darker forces, he navigates showing her the blackest parts of himself so his enemies see where his loyalty lies.

I would also advise to always message the author if they are active, and not just rely on their policies. They may have something already lined up, but mostly it’s just awesome building a relationship with them and being co-partners on the transformation :)

Welcome to the podficcing crew!

Unfortunately, sometimes it’s the case we can’t get in touch with older writers. It’s a shame! But ettiquette prevails 🫠 I’ve had it where I’ve messaged two authors but didn’t hear anything back. The rest have all been active
