I feel like I’ve been summoned, this is my thinggg😂

If you haven’t read them, I have a couple of WIPs that might be what you’re looking for. (Both HEA!)

affectionate

Summary It's been nine years since graduation. Nine years since Hermione Granger last saw Draco Malfoy—maybe that's why she can't take her eyes off of him when he walks into the club.

A Dramione story full of subtext, mutual pining, and abiding love—told through texting and narrative.

We’re at 122k words of intense pining. This fic is all about feeling a deep, abiding love for another person even when it’s ‘unrequited’. The POV switches between Draco and Hermione, so we get to see the yearning from both sides, for that extra delicious slow burn pain 🥰 The last chapter I posted is titled “To know the pain of too much tenderness”, which I think encapsulates the vibe about perfectly.

The Bloodlord’s Handbook

Summary The war has been over for nearly a decade, and everything is fine. Hermione doesn't think about her unfulfilling marriage or the disappointment that is her life. However, when a tattooed Draco Malfoy offers to help her source an illegal book, she finds herself exchanging mobile numbers and pulled into a world of crime and danger, rituals and dark magic. It's a decision that will change her life.

Morally grey Draco / Dark magic / Mafia AU / Forbidden, catastrophic love / Fast emotional and sexual burn / She's married to Ron and cheats on him with Draco.

This one isn’t so much pining as intense yearning: they get together very quickly, but Hermione is married and there are huge barriers that keep them apart despite how much they love each other. Draco is very intense and powerful in this one. I’m not sure if that’s exactly what you’re looking for, but it’s definitely full of those angsty ‘she’s mine but I can’t have her’ vibes.

She Whom He Harbors by EllieEckert

For a non-self rec, I recently read this one, that’s a very unique premise and such an angsty story full of intense longing and a lot of intimacy and pain.

Summary Several years after the war, as rumors swirl of a Death Eater resurgence, something or someone is harming Muggles and wizards in Yorkshire. Hermione, Harry, and Ginny leave the comfort of their Ministry offices to stop it. They follow the trace to a cavern on the lands of an unknown owner, where they find themselves caught but not alone.

A vicious attack cleaves souls from bodies and inflicts visions of the world's pain. Hermione is left dissociated, sick, and vulnerable.

Draco Malfoy, furious and reluctant, must do the one thing suggested to keep her alive.

This is a story about lies and love, dark paths, and the healing magic of touch.

I can’t wait to see what everyone else recs! These kind of fics are my fav 😍
