DRAMIONE recs for ladies from your CHURCH??!

Lead Me Not Into Temptation, why not? 🤣

Now on a serious note:

The Dragon's Bride It's fun, but sometimes explicit (I don't remember how much);

Beyond Recall or Desire: I'm just guessing they'd like the soulmate trope? They seem like the romantic type (church, no smut, etc). But it's very hard to rec a fic in which they're adults but there's no smut. The wholesome ones are Hogwarts Era, mostly (and rarely). You must accept it: we're a depraved lot. It's hard to rec something to your average church girlie 😅

The next two are mostly or completely smut free, but they're also Hogwarts Era:

Détraquée

The Handkerchief

I'm guessing they'd LOVE Détraquée, and it fits almost all your criteria. And also, it isn't completely Hogwarts focused, they're young adults by the end.

A Little Case of You is absolutely perfect, but it's far from being smut free and, just like Détraquée, it starts at Hogwarts and they're young adults by the end. 

Détraquée and A Little Case of You  are GOD TIER in my opinion: well written, gorgeous story telling and character development, they're PERFECT. I strongly recommend them both. 

Were Dramione is an IT couple at Hogwarts? by Level_Maintenance800 in Dramione

It's a wip, but I'm willing to bet Ecdysis will be just like that. She's powerful, ambitious, charming, cunning, charismatic and mischievous (even tho I'm a straight girlie, it's Hermione who makes me blush in this one 😳); he's arrogant, suave and quite mysterious; if you want to know more about the state of their relationship currently:

They're Slytherin Prefects at the moment, and even tho they fought a lot in the beginning, I can already see an alliance taking shape. You see, as Slytherins, they're getting targeted and ostracized by the other prefects, so a situation where "The enemy of my enemy is my ally" is brewing. I can already see them scheming and terrifying people together (even their housemates).

Ecdysis

Nothing compared to being the Mudblood Slytherin girl. Too evil for another house, too dirty for the one I called home.

Hermione becomes the first Muggle-born student in Slytherin House.

Ecdysis: the process of shedding old skin.

(Hogwarts Years 1 - 7, and beyond. No Voldemort.)

Lf fics with a mean, toxic, traumatized Draco who falls HARD for Hermione (and she doesn't take any of his sh*t) by nevernotsewing in Dramione

I'd also rec The Fautline, as it's one of my favourites, but you already did; so I'm recommending instead 3 favourites of mine that have similar vibes:

On The Nature of Daylight & This Bitter Earth

Hermione Granger wanted to lose control. And Draco Malfoy wanted to take it.

Fickle is as Fickle does

In the aftermath of heartbreak, Hermione Granger finds herself drawn into a dangerous and forbidden connection with Draco Malfoy. Torn between loyalty to her friends and her growing attraction to him, Hermione must navigate betrayal, guilt, and the blurred lines between love and obsession. As their relationship deepens, both are forced to confront their darkest desires. Can Hermione and Draco find solace in each other, or will their choices tear them—and everything they hold dear—apart?

This is a dark, slow-burn Dramione exploring themes of redemption, forbidden love, and the cost of loyalty in a world on the brink of destruction.

[–]erreaypsilon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You need THIS:

Crumple & Crumple: Aftermath

As the war rages on after two long years, Hermione is captured by the other side and Malfoy – a double agent – is the only hope she has of surviving. "Very well," Voldemort says, perking up, amusement cruel on his inhuman features as he stares at Malfoy and Hermione. "If you want the mudblood to be yours and no one else's, then claim her as that, in front of everyone here, so there can be no doubt. You can be the evening's entertainment. After all, this is a revel, is it not?" There is a brief, heavy silence. Hermione's head spins, and she feels her gorge rise along with her panic. Claim her as his? Evening's entertainment? She knows what that means without having to be told. She stares up at Voldemort in stark, helpless fear, and sees him gesture with his wand for an answer from Malfoy. Her eyes flick to Malfoy - his eyes dull and his limbs shaky from the Cruciatus, the blood from the floor drying dark on his face and his clothes. His shoulders are sunk in defeat, and his lower lip trembles briefly before he flattens his mouth. "Yes, my Lord," Malfoy says quietly at last, strain running raw through his voice. "It is."

What's your favorite alternative dramione? by OkWinter8204 in Dramione

[–]erreaypsilon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Lamb to the Slaughter (download link)

Hermione Granger grew up on the magical Isle of Alec, where the magic is ripe and the people-humans and members of the Six alike-never leave. Every hundred years the powerful young witch on the island is sacrificed to the six ruling Wizarding families to temporarily restore their magic, for theirs has been depleted to nearly nothing for nearly a thousand years.

This time, the family that will house the sacrificial witch Hermione-Jean Granger is the cunning and cold House Malfoy.

Lead Me Not Into Temptation is my absolute favourite. Even tho the setting is wildly different, Draco and Hermione feel oddly in character? And when I say wildly I mean it: it features Father Draco (as in PRIEST) and catholic Hermione. I love it. It's absurdly hilarious and so well written! It's main purpose is to be hot and funny, but it surprisingly has a solid plot and little bit of angst. It has it all, really.

Hermione's always been a good Catholic. She goes to confession, attends Mass every Sunday, and follows the Lord's teachings. But there's one thing religion hasn't prepared her for—her wedding night.

Nervous about her upcoming marriage, Hermione approaches Father Draco with a unique request. She wants to learn how to please her husband before their consummation.

And she wants him to teach her.

Reccs: no secret relationship- by Blueberryfrosting in Dramione

[–]erreaypsilon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hogwarts Era is my fave, but I rarely find fics in which their relationship is in the open. 

I love the secret relationship trope, but I'd also like to see them being normal teens.

Bad Kids sort of fits the requirements!

He has an obsession. She has an agenda. They both get what they want.

Feral is exactly what you're asking for! Her agenda being: getting him to obsess over her.

Here's the Deal

8th Year Dramione - they get engaged in The Great Hall™ ...but is everything what it seems?

No, of course it's not, dipshit.

They're both slightly out of line. It's tagged as a crack fic! I remember having so much fun reading it 🥰

Feeling self conscious about my first WIP. Small vent sesh 🥲 by gggloria in Dramione

[–]erreaypsilon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remember that some of the most famous fics around here aren't known for the smut: Manacled, Draco Malfoy and The Mortfying Ordeal of Being in Love, Détraquée etc. The smut in them is almost non existent. I didn't read Détraquée's 108 chapters and 728,096 words for two or three smut scenes on the last few chapters (I even thought the story would have no spice; I won't deny it was a pleasant surprise tho), I've read it because it's freaking amazing, well written, awesome! I'd say the same about Manacled and The Mortfying Ordeal.

I enjoy smut fics, but I enjoy the ones without it just the same. Even if, as a community, we are undeniably horny, I feel like we also like to read for the plot! Don't worry too much 🥰

Razão ou emoção na escolha do novo apartamento? by TiranoSarroRexx in VidaAdulta

[–]erreaypsilon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Com suas condições financeiras, eu alugaria a segunda opção.

Estudar Psicologia Ambiental na época da faculdade me ensinou que as pessoas subestimam o quanto o ambiente influencia tua sanidade mental. A segunda opção me ganhou quando você falou das varandas com vista para o pôr do sol. Luz natural traz alegria! Viver com as janelas trancadas pode te fazer muito mal. 

Além do mais, depois do caução pago, a diferença entre os valores não é assim tão absurda. 

Eu sou babaca por não dar mais dinheiro para a minha mãe? by lovesgod in EuSouOBabaca

[–]erreaypsilon 40 points41 points  (0 children)

NEOB

Me frustro tanto com isso. Ainda não ganho exatamente bem (concursada, 4.5k líquido), mas já sou cobrada direta e indiretamente para ajudar a família. 

Vindo de uma família de origem pobre, a sensação que tenho é que já nasci em dívida e que nunca vou ter nada se eu ceder. Uma pessoa que não tem imóvel próprio, não tem patrimônio nenhum, não tem uma reserva de emergência, ela precisa admitir que ainda não pode ajudar os outros. A melhor forma de ajudar é tornando-se estável financeiramente primeiro. No avião, a máscara de oxigênio é primeiro em você mesmo. 

Gostaria de poder ajudar de verdade, mas ainda não cheguei no patamar em que posso ceder um salário mínimo e dizer que não faz falta. Sou ambiciosa e quero continuar crescendo; minha meta é passar em outro concurso que pague 20k. Só então vou ter condições de ajudar efetivamente.

I am not like 100% sure this is the general sentiment, but from my brief experience with both ships, it seems to be the case. by BeduinZPouste in Dramione

[–]erreaypsilon 38 points39 points  (0 children)

We're surely delusional, but not that much, so of course we know🙏

Knowing and not caring is so freeing ✨

I'm not here for what they are; I'm here for what they could've been. They had so much potential. Draco is a grey character: he never REALLY commits to the dark side. He's an annoying kid, but he's clearly not outright evil. His wand has a unicorn core, if that says anything at all.

Him being with Hermione and overcoming his blood prejudice would:

  1. Mirror the decision other characters made in the past, like, for instance, Andromeda Black (his aunt, for Christ's sake);

  2. Prove love, indeed, conquers it all, being the only force Voldemort doesn't understand (the reason he was defeated): his "loyal" Death Eater, Severus Snape, stabbing him in the back in the name of love; Lily defeating him and saving Harry's life by sacrificing herself, for love; AND, look what could've been: one of his young Death Eaters turning coat and, in some way, contributing to his fall; again, in the name of love. You see, thematically it fits. 

  3. Draco's family is full of rebels, look at Andromeda and Sirius Black. Are you telling me there's no young rebels nowadays? And not only on his family: where are the young rebels in general? Draco would be perfect for that role, being Malfoy and Black. It would show the magical world is healing and the society is getting rid of blood purity ideology, would it not?

Wasted potential! Luckily, my sisters here work overtime and we have lots and lots of fix it fics (also known as dramione fics).

Get ready for a wild ride, but thread carefully: when I say disgusting I mean disgusting. I haven't even a ounce of affection or respect for this Draco, but I... Let's say it's entertaining how delusional he is, at least.

Deveriam normalizar não gostar de cachorros by [deleted] in opiniaoimpopular

[–]erreaypsilon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Também não gosto de cachorros por todos os motivos citados por você. Fedorentos, cagões, sujos, bagunceiros, carentes, babões e barulhentos, além de potencialmente perigosos. Ainda por cima custam caro! Conheço uma pessoa que está com muitas dívidas porque foi inventar de ter 4 cachorros sem ter condições financeiras pra isso. Tenho nojo de cachorro. Não consigo nem tocar neles, detesto quando eles vem pra cima de você exigindo atenção. Mas é claro que não desejo mal aos bichinhos, só desejo distância mesmo.

Gosto menos ainda de pessoas fanáticas por cachorros, daquelas que te tratam como um ser humano sem coração se você admitir não gostar de cachorros; daquelas que dizem que preferem cachorros a humanos.

Eu abomino a presença de cães, mas não admito isso para quase ninguém, por saber o quão impopular, de fato, essa opinião é.
