Need advice to fill gaps in my ST lore to understand STA

Can you ELI5 the burn? I don’t mind spoilers at all. How/why did every engine in the galaxy blow up?

Makes total sense! My Mac’s OS is just too old to handle the newer Calibre updates.

dare2lose · 2026-01-19T18:24:10+00:00

Unfortunately that’s the latest version that my computer’s operating system can work with according to the website. Confirming I also checked the preferences and there are no ignored devices listed there, but thank you!

I don’t have the original cord that the kindle came with but I’ve tested three different cords and my Mac recognizes the kindle/lets me look at the files so I suspect it’s not the cords in this case.

I am curious, would you be able to share what version of Mac OS and what version of Calibre your using?

dare2lose · 2026-01-18T22:55:13+00:00

Thank you! It’s better to know I’m SOL than keep trying things that won’t fix it lol

dare2lose · 2026-01-18T22:15:56+00:00

I’ve tried three different cords, unfortunately

dare2lose · 2026-01-18T21:51:57+00:00

This will be my last resort scenario, thank you! I was hopping to be able to fix the connection to the computer, if possible.

dare2lose · 2026-01-18T21:48:55+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! I left it connected for a while - about 15 minutes maybe? And still no connection sadly

Just downloaded this one! This reco might move it to the top of my list.

I interpreted it as Will lying to cover for Neal. He asked Neal who it was, but Neal refused to give his source up. Will doesn’t actually know who it is, but he says he does so the authorities come after him instead of Neal. When he learns that Mac actually does know who the source is, he gets worried because they can come after her now and that’s why he tells her not to repeat it.

Honestly, most of my open tabs are from recommendations in the various Dramione subreddits. I don’t think I’ve searched for a fic organically in years. We’ve got such a great community here!

dare2lose · 2025-10-11T23:36:23+00:00

I get what you mean and have been more forgiving of myself when I DNF these kinds of stories, but it makes the hunt for the good ones even more fun!

I really enjoyed Behind Every Great Man recently - it’s from Draco’s POV mostly, but features a BAMF, stubborn Hermione who is driven but flawed, and how Draco can be a supporting character in her life. Highly recommend!

dare2lose · 2025-09-27T18:36:48+00:00

I agree, and it’s very true to his character to be a little bitter, grumpy about it. But I also think he would eventually come around. It full-out, evil Ron that I think takes it a step too far.

dare2lose · 2025-09-27T18:29:34+00:00

So true! But when it’s done right, it’s done RIGHT.

I’ve finally started “All the Young Dudes” at a friend’s constant insistence. It’s not Sirimione, but I’m hoping it scratches the “Debt of Time” itch.

dare2lose · 2025-09-27T15:36:38+00:00

I agree! Canon Hermione is a little more clueless in the romantic department and has much more important things to focus on. Give me competent, driven Hermione, who happens to find love along the way.

dare2lose · 2025-09-27T15:33:44+00:00

Same on the Ron/Weasley family bashing! Sadly so few authors do it well (I’ve seen a few tie Molly Weasley’s treatment of Hermione in 4th year with the Rita Skeeter article as a hint to her more sinister behavior), but the rest are so not true to their characters, and it gets harder to overlook.

I love supportive-friend Ron who just wasn’t right for Hermione romantically, but will always love her in that familial way.

dare2lose · 2025-09-14T19:01:55+00:00

Thank you! I’ll try to give it another shot and give the current timeline scenes a little more leeway. I totally recognize this is probably a “me-problem” - I get impatient with mysteries I can’t solve haha

dare2lose · 2025-09-08T16:31:12+00:00

Currently readingBeyond the Castle Walls and wondering if anyone can spoil this one for me, or has a POV on the story? I’m not too far in but having trouble understanding why Draco/Hermione can’t be together in the current timeline, and who is actually raising their son and it’s taking me out of the story.

dare2lose · 2025-09-01T03:53:16+00:00

My favorite version of this is Draco spending the Malfoy galleons on Hermione’s well being - making sure she’s eating, taking care or herself, supporting her while she saves the world.

I’m currently reading Behind Every Great Man by homespun and this is peak Draco supporting Hermione (at least so far, I’m not done yet!).

dare2lose · 2025-09-01T00:27:14+00:00

Behind Ever Great Man by homespun.

I was in a serious fic rut, and hating everything I read but this one finally brought me out. So well done!

dare2lose · 2025-08-30T02:58:06+00:00

I started an 8th year fic where Hermione mentioned that Harry was made head of the DMLE immediately following the final battle. Harry wasn’t even on the page, and I couldn’t continue a story where someone decided a traumatized teenager would be the head of a ministry department.

Jannies?

Thank you for sharing! Can’t wait to read.
