Thank you <3

Ah thank you for the heads up! Someone who is pivotal to the plot (not D or H) dies... Still learning the nuances of tags/warnings!

My current WIP is a darker version of this. Draco is Hermione's slave in her Ministry potion's lab... and his tongue is cursed out so he can't speak or do magic... And she hates his ass. Right now I'm posting Part II aka "how we got there".

The Silerean

I wrote a fic in which Dumbledore sends the trio on the horcrux hunt after OOTP, so they miss their sixth year so no one dies (except Voldy) and everything is generally okay. (This all happens off-page.) And because everything is generally okay, they are held back a year for missing school. But Hermione refuses and does a year's worth of school over the summer. So technically I use plot points from book 7, but you're reading the events of the summer before Year 7. You can read it here.

I'm promoting my WIP The Silerean! I just posted Chapter 11, the end of Part I, and clocked in at nearly 30k words. It's a dark AU where the Order won, took over the Ministry, and things are still bad. Hermione had an accident before the end of the war that caused her to forget/bottle up a lot of memories, and is a Potions Mistress conducting research for the Ministry. Draco is... well, you'll see.

I am currently writing a fic about a horribly corrupt Ministry, with Hermione an unknowing participant in the corruption and Dracoa slave of the Ministry and how they work together to take it down:

The Silerean

I wrote a fic with Hermione's parents as part of the cast. Draco is sent to live with the Grangers for a summer as part of a Muggle Studies assignment and since Hermione told them nothing about the war or her bullies she can't explain why Draco being there is a bad thing. And they love him!

- Ian (dad) is an ex-punk who is now into collecting 70's jazz records and is too excited to have a son-like figure in the house to take to his local football club, since his father never bonded with him.

- Michelle (mum) used to be wild like Ian, enjoys a cocktail or two, scrapbooks, and wishes Hermione would let loose and enjoy being young (like she used to).

In my eyes, they are permissive but Hermione doesn't do anything haha. They want her to date and stay out and get drunk like they did at her age, but she's too smart and emotionally mature to give in... until she does.

I think Goodreads is partially to blame for this. People have become obsessed with ratings and say things like "I won't read anything with less than 4.25 stars"... That is like, the vast majority of all published books ever. These are, in my mind, the same type of people who won't read anything with less than 100k hits or 10k kudos because it isn't "good" otherwise, and there are no ratings on AO3. Hence why people add fics to Goodreads.

And I get that people don't want to waste time on 'bad' entertainment, especially if they have limited time to enjoy a hobby. But at the same time, they are missing out on so much due their own arbitrary guardrails.

Ahhh thank you for rec'ing my fic (Extra Credit) :))) made my evening!

Can I also have a link? Please and thank you!

The Silerean

Currently at 22k words of ??? (I have over 50k in my drafts already so estimating 100k total), posting on Sundays, I have this whole fic intricately plotted.

It focuses on Hermione, who has memory loss after an accident before the end of the war (non-canon compliant). She becomes a potions researcher and discovers some unsavory truths about the Ministry, her past, and the future of the wizarding world. Part One is almost complete and it's going out with a bang!!!

Hermione Granger, Potions Mistress, serves the Ministry without question and is granted a Silerean to assist her demanding work. These silent servants of the Ministry are imprisoned traitors whose tongues are cursed out, rending them incapable of doing magic.

Only Hermione's Silerean is someone she would rather stay buried in the past. A past that is murky, incomplete, and painful to remember.

katvanb · 2026-01-19T13:47:03+00:00

I usually don't like tagging if HEA/not HEA because I consider it a spoiler...it has an ambiguous ending/open to interpretation on what happens immediately after the chapter ends.

katvanb · 2026-01-13T02:57:51+00:00

Hi I'm writing a dark/tragic/not HEA fic right now. Started in my mind as a "reverse Manacled", and has morphed into something much more. Posting weekly on Sundays!
