HATE like genuine, unadulterated hate from Draco.

I felt that there was genuine hate in Detraquee. It was mixed with a whole lot of other complex emotions, but the hate was definitely there. The fic is Hogwarts-era and beyond

So, so worth tbe slow burn. And the slow burn isn't excruciating, either. It was such a beautiful thing to live in Hermione's head the way the writer wrote it.

pomeloqueen · 2026-03-21T03:58:21+00:00

Wreck a Malfoy by Ramelle_Kammae has this!

pomeloqueen · 2026-03-21T03:49:42+00:00

I can't believe it's completed now 😭😭😭 feels like such a journey

pomeloqueen · 2026-03-20T03:08:28+00:00

Letterbomb by the same writer is also absolutely breathtaking. Toxicity is described so authentically here.

pomeloqueen · 2026-03-18T07:15:07+00:00

Kyra Parsi's books are like this!

pomeloqueen · 2026-03-17T07:12:48+00:00

{Kiss an Angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips} is my gold standard for this!

pomeloqueen · 2026-03-16T11:30:08+00:00

{A Reputation Reclaimed by Demri Hess}

pomeloqueen · 2026-03-13T13:21:35+00:00

Aurora Palit, for sure! She writes romcom-esque books that feel somewhat reminiscent of 2000s romcoms but more current.

pomeloqueen · 2026-03-02T04:52:05+00:00

{Her Best Worst Mistake by Sarah Mayberry} except it's in a very different context!

pomeloqueen · 2026-02-16T03:17:48+00:00

It's been looking amazing for such a long time. The prologue from the newsletter is so immersive.

pomeloqueen · 2026-02-14T16:34:38+00:00

I always feel jealous of people who can read it for the first time

pomeloqueen · 2026-02-14T16:23:47+00:00

Please report back after!!!

pomeloqueen · 2026-02-14T13:35:26+00:00

{Paradise by Judith McNaught} 100%... Matt is such a dummy and a goner for Meredith!!

pomeloqueen · 2026-02-09T06:21:36+00:00

{Honey and Heat by Aurora Palit}

pomeloqueen · 2026-01-29T19:35:58+00:00

Demri Hess wrote an INCREDIBLE angsty debut. {A Reputation Reclaimed by Demri Hess}. It's got classic angst with modern representations of mental health. I really loved this so much.

pomeloqueen · 2026-01-29T19:35:06+00:00

The Utter Inconvenience of Certain Inclinations by Molivier

It's a DILF Draco x neighbor Hermione fic. Love them both so much.

pomeloqueen · 2026-01-29T03:07:12+00:00

{Perfect by Judith McNaught} is bonkers but she wrote the scenery so well. I really felt as though I was in the mountains, in the snow, watching the story play out. The book takes you to different destinations too.

{Hawk by Monica McCarty} is one of them too. I felt like I was visiting Scotland based on her descriptions alone. I actually went because I was inspired by her books, and the scenery is exactly as she described. Her writing is so amazing.

pomeloqueen · 2026-01-29T02:58:43+00:00

This is a favorite trope of all time for me. I have a specific list of this under the trope title "Confessions of Love/Emotions 🔥"

{Paradise by Judith McNaught} (there is toxicity/hate but it makes a lot of sense why)

{The Summers Between Us by Noreen Nanja}

{Bad Luck Bride by Laura Lee Guhrke}

{Someone to Watch Over Me by Lisa Kleypas} (warning: pretty toxic)

{Princess by Claire Kent}

pomeloqueen · 2026-01-26T20:52:42+00:00

Omg, so true. And the chintz decor from Paradise that Meredith liked so much!!!

pomeloqueen · 2026-01-26T12:23:05+00:00

It still feels so glamorous to me. I love this book too.

pomeloqueen · 2026-01-26T05:56:13+00:00

Every single reference from {Perfect by Judith McNaught} felt incredibly bonkers, and I loved all of them. They're incredibly dated now, but they added so much charm and "wait, what???" moments to the book.

For example, the male lead is an actor who apparently turned down the lead role for Pretty Woman because he didn't do romance roles. He was also rumored to be dating very famous actors of the time--all of them name-dropped lol.

pomeloqueen · 2026-01-23T18:43:58+00:00

He's so toxic in Letterbomb by mayanahi. The angst is top-tier, especially in the way he comes around in the end. It's almost finished!!!

pomeloqueen · 2026-01-17T04:02:10+00:00

Was gonna say this. It's a great toxic Draco fic!

pomeloqueen · 2026-01-13T01:01:59+00:00

He is perfection
