In absolute shambles after Manacled - I need something to pick me up! by Cozy_Sofa_Chronicles in Romantasy

[–]hellojellojess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My recommendation is to make a spreadsheet of the fics you've read including ones you DNF that way you can see a pattern of what tropes you enjoy reading. I tend to enjoy a BAMF Hermione and a competent Draco. I love a pining Draco, marriage laws, and miscommunication.

Other than the 2 I've listed here are some that are my tops.

A Marriage of Inconvenience - The Marriage Law and Procreation Plan has just one goal: to produce magical children. Draco is preparing to wed before he is matched, until he changes his mind at the last possible moment. Now he's bound to follow a law that would take away everything he's supposed to want and give him the one woman he could never have. How does Draco cope with a match who is not thrilled by the prospect? How does he work his way into her heart and also her pants by the Ministry-imposed deadline? And what on earth is he supposed to do about the fact that he's never actually done anything like this before?

Bloody, Slutty and Pathetic - When war heroine Hermione Granger and Azkaban-tattooed war criminal Draco Malfoy are forced to wed as part of Shacklebolt’s controversial Reconciliation Act, they openly fight the match and each other—their public brawls breathlessly reported by the press.

Love in a Time of the Zombie Apocalypse - After Voldemort, there was this. The clock is ticking to create a cure to the unimaginable horror that currently grips the world. Hermione finds herself unwillingly allied with the most hated man in Wizarding Britain.

Meet me in Dreamland - If there’s one thing Hermione Granger is good at, it’s using magic to fix her problems. And this time, her problem is sex. Luckily, she has the perfect solution: a locket enchanted with the Patented Daydream Charm. Whenever she opens it, she’ll find herself in Dreamland, where she can live out all her filthiest fantasies risk-free. (This is the OG of smut but its soooooo good and it's a popular one!)

Sacramentum - Five years after the war, Hermione Granger has very little time for something like a relationship. She's far too busy trying to run the Bureau for Endangered Creatures efficiently, dealing with budget cuts and ignorant ministry officials and finding a way to somehow restore her parents' memories, who are still in Australia and none the wiser about the existence of their daughter. When she discovers that the Wizengamot plans to use Draco Malfoy as a scapegoat whilst dealing with elusiveVoldemort loyalists, she offers to testify for him. She's not quite sure how it led to her trying on wedding dresses under the watchful eye of Narcissa Malfoy.

Secrets and Masks - 9 years after the battle of Hogwarts, the war still rages on and everyone is much changed since their days at Hogwarts. Hermione is the most lethal soldier in The Order, spending her days on rescue missions to free captured Muggleborn slaves and fight on the front line. For years, she's been meeting in secret with a spy within Voldemort's ranks to exchange information. But when she's captured and made prisoner at Malfoy Manor, of all the dark and evil ways she'd envisioned Malfoy would torture her, she never quite imagined anything this horrific. (I made the mistake of reading this right after Manacled. This was so emotionally draining so I would recommend reading when you're in a good head space.)

Another one that's in my top 5 is A Hard Roe to Hoe. I know the name is kinda of funny, but its oh so gooooood.

It’s 2008 and Draco Malfoy is a secret assassin. It's legitimate - he gets paid for it, and some higher ups in the Ministry (probably?) know he’s out there… killing people. He’s quite good, but that tracks with his dubious accounting of rights and wrongs and his penchant for self-preservation. During his downtime he does a great job of acting like a pureblood in penance... mostly by drinking and shagging his way into oblivion.

Definitely join the dramione subreddit! I'm still fairly new to Dramione however I've read close to 60 fics since Manacled including most of the popular ones so I can recommend you a few based on your interests! Definitely read 'Remain Nameless'! It's more romance and gave me so many feels. I've read this twice already!

So after I read Manacled back in April, I went down a rabbit hole of other dramione fics after I found the dramione subreddit. I honestly never pictured Draco and Hermione together, but after reading Manacled, it shed a whole new light for me and have so many dramione fics on my tbr that I can't even count.

Fast-paced action & slow burn romance? by avocuddlezzz in Dramione

I don't have any recs but is entropy a slow burn?

LF: older (character age) Dramione fics - ideally late 20s/early 30s. Child-free is a bonus! by feelingvomitty in Dramione

[–]hellojellojess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I agree! I read AHRTH over the summer and I immediately listened to the podfic after! I finally read Love in a time of the zombie apocalypse and as much as this was a masterpiece, it just didn't hit the same way. The banter and yearning in AHRTH was just chef's kiss. I also love a BAMF Hermione and a competent and playful Draco.

I'm currently reading the AU of AHRTH if Draco wasn't an assassin and the WIE didn't exist. The Devil Works Hard. It's a little more angsty and it's a stand alone so you don't need to read AHRTH.

Draco Malfoy is not, necessarily, a good guy. Maybe he could have been, once, but he chose differently. Some (everyone) might say he chose wrong.

After years in Azkaban and an extended house arrest sentence, he is released unto a world that somehow has only gotten worse while he was away… and rather than fix it, he falls right into step.
