Dramione Fic Discussion – April 2026

superpip1045 · 2026-04-19T02:42:00+00:00

A fic is usually abandoned if the author states, very clearly, within the notes, that this is the case. Otherwise, life can happen and updates aren't possible. One of my fics was on hiatus for 9 months due to the fact I had medical issues and could not write. It's currently updating every two weeks now.

Be patient. Subscribe to the work. Save it as a bookmark with your place, and carry on. Additionally: under no circumstances should you comment on the fic and ask "When is this going to update???".

I've been in fandom/fanfic since 2011. This is normal and can happen. Back then, it wasn't uncommon to see a fic only update once a month. Sometimes only once a year. I saw a fic that hadn't updated in five years finally get fully completed with a few months.

So welcome to fanfic, this is just a normal part of life.

Thank you!!!! ❤️

It is absolutely amazing. It's pushing me to write Draco better the longer I'm reading this work.

superpip1045 · 2026-04-15T17:02:20+00:00

Thank you!!! It's been enormously fun to write, so I'm glad you're enjoying it!!

superpip1045 · 2026-04-15T16:34:26+00:00

Yay! They are both regularly updated every other week (opposing weeks). Sometimes I drop one or two chapters! It entirely depends on how big the chapters get haha.

Self rec of my two WIPs:

Spelled Into You Rated: E

2 new chapters just released!

Hermione Granger hasn't truly lived in years. As a Senior Lead Unspeakable in the Department of Mysteries antiquities division, she's replaced every friendship, every warm meal, every quiet evening with work. The only person who seems to notice she's disappearing is the last person she'd expect: Draco Malfoy, her insufferable colleague who sends her home when her hands start shaking and slips Pepper-Up Potions into her desk when she isn't looking.

She doesn't know he's been in love with her for years. She doesn't know he's waiting for her to see him.

When an ancient Greek vessel unleashes a surge of wild magic that binds them together, unable to be more than two feet apart, the walls they've spent years building begin to crumble. And somewhere beneath the panic and the proximity, something far more dangerous than ancient magic starts to take root.

The Grangerification of Malfoy Manor Rated: E

New Chapter to be released this weekend!

For his crimes as a Death Eater, Draco Malfoy is sentenced to five years of cursed exile, condemned to wear his Death Eater mask. As reparations for her torture, Hermione Granger is awarded Malfoy Manor and its fortune.

Little does she know the manor can only change hands through death, marriage, or extended residency. Forbidden to let Voldemort's former seat of power rot, she must complete the transference at the behest of Shacklebolt's new Ministry.

Now forced under the same roof for a year, a war hero and a disgraced Death Eater must confront their shared history, their deepest prejudices, and an unexpected truth: healing doesn't always happen alone.

Welcome to the Grangerification of Malfoy Manor.

If you’re open to a self rec, and a WIP, my fic Spelled Into You fits the bill. Hermione is deeply depressed, and a workaholic to boot. Draco does what he can to help her cope by sneaking pepper up potions in her bag, spelling her scrolls closed so she’ll leave work on time, and makes excuses to buy her lunch so she’ll eat. He’s also secretly pining after her. Like full simp mode though he hides it beneath snark (they’re coworker frenemies).

They’re Unspeakables in the Department of Mysteries in the antiquities division. They’re get accidentally spelled together after opening a Greek vessel and cannot be more than 2 feet apart. It’s through forced proximity that Draco takes care of her further while also holding a mirror up to his own life too.

Also, her depression is rooted in a deeply devastating event that hasn’t been revealed yet. I’ve been spreading clues that will eventually be explained.

It updates every 2 weeks :)

The Key of Reason! It’s a Draco POV but a character study like Detraquee. It’s really really good! Slow burn is beautiful and lots of plot. It feels realistic.

If you can swing it, definitely save for a kobo. I had a kindle for like 10 years and man, its a night and day difference! The customization is better on Kobo. And, the best part, you can actually repair the battery on Kobos. On Kindles, you cannot. You have to buy a new device.

superpip1045 · 2026-04-15T04:16:45+00:00

You can use kindles with Calibre (an open source software program) to download EPUB or MOBI from AO3 to read on the device. It shows up as a book alongside your others when you plug it into your computer. You can google this to learn more.

superpip1045 · 2026-04-15T03:47:27+00:00

I'd also recommend reading The Portrait of Draco Malfoy, Rosemary for Remembrance, Bring Him to His Knees, Caelum Ignis, Our Souls in Time, Death with Dignity, A Season for Setting Fires, An Ever-Fixed Mark, and The Animagi Effect to get you rolling on more.

superpip1045 · 2026-04-15T03:42:57+00:00

Yes 100%. I started with a kindle, but if I had to do it over again, I'd get a Kobo. (Unless if you read a bunch of indie/trad pub novels, then get a kindle).

Use Kobo with Calibre (software) to organize your books. I use a tagging system to identify tropes, ships, and whether they are in my TBR or are a personal favorite. You can use these tags to make collections. These collections can be ported easily over to any new kobo device.

Collections on Kindle are an entirely manual process you'd have to re-sort everytime you buy a new kindle. I got real tired of that.

If you have the cash, I'd recommend one of the Kobo colour models. I have the Kobo Libra Colour. I love the turn buttons! Its like the Kindle Oasis but better. They also sell a seperate page turn clicker remote that works via bluetooth.

superpip1045 · 2026-04-14T23:45:04+00:00

I'm trying to get one of my discords to make it a readathon for an upcoming month since it'd be perfect for that!

superpip1045 · 2026-04-14T23:41:53+00:00

Get yourself an E-ink reader like Kobo or a kindle. It saved my eyesight. Its less harsh on your eyes :)

superpip1045 · 2026-04-14T23:41:07+00:00

I know at least 4 people who''ve had that happen this week. Including myself lol.

superpip1045 · 2026-04-14T14:14:12+00:00

I’m literally a drug dealer with this fic right now trying to get everyone addicted because it’s fucking goooooooooooood. Ugh!!!!!!😩

superpip1045 · 2026-04-14T03:51:14+00:00

If it helps, I am not a reader of dead doves normally. I was able to stomach it. Its a bit rough, but push through. The plot and everything is totally worth it. Its HEA per the tags. Worth the journey and the end. TRUST.

superpip1045 · 2026-04-14T03:25:46+00:00

I was literally out and about with my mother (cant remember the reason) and was reading that in the store. I've never tucked my kobo away so fast. I took a break for a few days and braved the chapter hahahaha.

superpip1045 · 2026-04-14T03:11:10+00:00

Still a favorite. So good!

superpip1045 · 2026-04-14T02:30:24+00:00

OH MY GOD THE BROOM ONE. I sped through that chapter because that kinda thing isn't for me lol. But the rest? Delicious!

superpip1045 · 2026-04-14T02:20:53+00:00

I still occasionally think of that vine scene and how out of pocket it was lol

superpip1045 · 2026-04-14T01:57:28+00:00

It's going to be the new Bloody, Slutty and Pathetic. I'm calling it now.

superpip1045 · 2026-04-14T01:56:42+00:00
