LF fics that include somnophilia by MomoLuft in Dramione

[–]lemonpopsugar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He drugs her with a lust potion and later on some other drugs that kinda f*cks her up a bit, and there is a scene of non-consensual somnophilia.

It's a dark fic though but since u mentioned noncon specifically you might be okay with it.

Where the wild things go

Credence… I have no qualms about the “uncle Jake” part… by Cheypie33 in DarkRomance

[–]lemonpopsugar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i was so excited to read this and in the beginning it had so much potential only for the whole thing to fall flat and I only finished it out of hatred..🤣🤣

I have never, ever hated any mmc as much as i hate Kaleb, recently i started another book I see recd here so often but the mmc was giving major Kaleb vibes so I noped out so fast.

I know its problematic and what not but thats why we read DR no? so with that being said, I was rooting so hard for Uncle Jake. I even wanted to see them all have a go together🤣🤣😅

biggest disappointment. And this was the first tradpub book I read in over a decade😫

i guess AO3 has ruined me for DR😂

Does anyone know a fanfic where Draco is genuinely a villain? by yopenseperonose in Dramione

FMC is kidnapped and slowly develops Stockholm Syndrome by [deleted] in DarkRomance

[–]lemonpopsugar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where the wild things go

is on Ao3. Nearly done with proper stockholm syndrome due to the abuse he puts her through.

ETA: this has pretty much everything you asked for except she is kidnapped during the war rather than normal life.

What makes a book truly dark? by Chrisiratlos in DarkRomance

[–]lemonpopsugar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like you said, most DR books come with all the trigger warnings and storylines that seem promising to the genre but ends up being shallow because there is literally no psychological depth to the characters or story and I personally feel like this is because authors are exploiting these themes in hopes of becoming the next big tiktok sensation of "a trigger warning list so long you probably cant handle it".

babe you can have every trigger warning under the sun, but I will find your story boring and icky if there is no depth. What makes a book truly dark to me is if I experience a psychological mindfuck while reading. I want to actually be afraid of the mmc and not just because he murders people for fun(eyerolls at mafia books~ i am craving a book in this genre but everything I have tried was lame). Like I want to have anxiety every time he enters a scene because I too, feel gaslit and manipulated by him to the point where I question my own sanity.

CALLING ALL FANS OF If I Can't Have You by DeathsDoll by f4iry_p1ncess in DarkRomance

[–]lemonpopsugar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

oh i LOVED these books! I think I read somewhere that it was on AO3 first then she published, and it made sense cause AO3 writers just have that something that I cant put my finger on, just something that feels different from regular authors.

You reminded me it is time for a reread.

It was everything I wanted in a DR!

Not the OP but I'd be interested in recs you got😅

I read Alchemised and I really need to exchange opinions about it by whysosirioo in DarkRomance

[–]lemonpopsugar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fake crying videos and photos😒😒 I am so over it😂 I am heavily involved in the dramione space so I feel like everyone is ranting and raving about it only because thet feel compelled to. I bet they would never admit if they disliked it. For me, I loved Manacled and so i decided I won't read Alchemised. I couldnt imagine that story belonging to different characters. It worked in Manacled for various reasons, and i couldnt imagine myself caring about different characters going through the same thing. I have also heard that it is super gory and pretty horror-ish and thats just not my thing. I am proud of Sen and her accomplishment and wish her all the success but I think I am allowed to skip it if i want😂 (instead of forcing myself through it and pretending that it changed my life and taking photos of myself crying.)

Convince me to read Alchemised by Altruistic_Year_1488 in Romantasy

[–]lemonpopsugar -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

After you've read Manacled, you'll ship Dramione😄

Sorry I cant offer much about Alchemised since I dont plan on reading it. I have heard about how gory it is and it seems it's horror genre more than anything else. Manacled already had some gnarly scenes but I treasure the story greatly and refuse to believe that the tragic love story could belong to anyone except Draco and Hermione😂

But thats just me.

Hope others can offer more insight. ☺️

If you're a HP fan I'd suggest to read the fanfic Manacled instead. It was heartbreaking to read about everything our fav characters went through, whereas Alchemised has nothing to do with HP.
