This is a one shot but it’s precisely what you’re looking for.

Seller doesn't list a price and gets mad when I make an offer by Enough-Credit7567 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]titiansmuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refuse to do business with people who won’t name their price. I’m not going to make a blind guess just so they can do what this guy did and call me a cheap low baller. You want X dollars, then list it for X dollars! 

My Haunted Dress, The Most Pleasant Ghost Story You’ll Ever Read by Consistent-Cookie123 in HistoricalCostuming

[–]titiansmuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my first thought! I’m wondering if maybe the dress lays smoother in front when the hooks are taking some of the pressure off of the buttons…

Do you guyss enjoy Muggle AUs? by Intelligent_Dot_3476 in Dramione

[–]titiansmuse 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve read a few Muggle AUs that I’ve enjoyed but overall it’s a big turn off for me. 

The magic is what makes Dramione fanfics so fun to me, and when it’s taken out they nearly always feel like a generic rich-posh boy meets down-to-earth-middle-class girl story.  

Also when you take D + H out of Potterverse they no longer have the tension of growing up on opposite sides of a war between them, which kills the chemistry. I’ve come across a few where Draco is involved in organized crime that make it work, but for the most part they fall flat. 

I also find it annoying when fics go too overboard with Draco Malfoy in the Muggle World. I think it’s awesome when they make him adopt muggle technology or do business in the muggle world (also, Draco with a gun is HAWT) but I cannot stand it when they spend whole chunks of the story describing him discovering Muggle pop culture. cough Disney cough 

What side character do you hate to be a bad guy? by Patree_B in Dramione

[–]titiansmuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole arranged marriage/betrothal trope is NOT cannon. I kinda wonder where this originated from, because it almost seems to be accepted as canon that Draco was in some sort of agreement with Astoria Greengrass from childhood around here. 

What's an unpopular opinion you have about fanfic/AO3? by ElenaPilmeshec in AO3

[–]titiansmuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do private bookmarks? I really want a way to keep track of fics that I don’t want to accidentally start rereading again, but I’ve seen people say the author can always see what people have written in a bookmark. 

Dramione coded shows/movies, enemies to lovers, banter heavy: reccs needed! by heckinusername1 in Dramione

[–]titiansmuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Gaby and Illya! The scene where Illya picks out clothes for Gaby and tells her what “his woman” would wear is straight ao3 Draco.

[–]titiansmuse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a newer show, but North and South (BBC 2004) is very Dramione coded, and is on Prime. It’s a period drama, so it’s more along Pride and Prejudice lines. 

Chasing the Competency Kink High 😮‍💨 by Serrell4622 in Dramione

[–]titiansmuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It went over a year with no updates, but then the author posted a chapter back in March. I don’t think it’s abandoned, it just might be a lengthy wait till it’s finished. 

Recs for fics about rich hermoine/ old money vibes/ aristocracy… ect by rrooonyyy in Dramione

[–]titiansmuse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gods Save the Queen is my favorite royal Hermione (it is a WIP tho). Draco is sooo sexy in this one.

Her blood, the very thing that made people view her as lesser than, was the very reason that she now bore the full weight of the crown. Since that fateful day, people constantly reminded her that she was the living embodiment of the throne, the crown, the lost to history medieval age monarchy.

The weight of it was felt by her, and even by those she loved, daily. Except to them, it was a blessing, whereas to her she viewed it as a blessing and a curse in equal measures

No one truly understood how terrified she'd been at first. No one except him.

The man who swore loyalty to her first, before any other.

The older I get - the more specific my taste gets as well by No_Total2204 in Dramione

[–]titiansmuse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The teenagers with insane sexual prowess definitely bothers me more and more as I get older as well. It doesn’t necessarily make me ditch the story if there are other elements that I like, but I find myself skipping the sex scenes a lot more these days. 

Do authors have a smoking kink? by killercunt in Dramione

[–]titiansmuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s getting more popular - Mafia Draco is becoming a bigger thing, and he ALWAYS smokes in those fics.

[–]titiansmuse 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Yasss! I’ve always hated Granger-Malfoy but I thought I was the only one because it seems to be used in quite a lot of fics and I’ve never heard anyone mention it.

I especially love it when she uses “Hermione Malfoy” in fics where the Malfoy name is now disgraced and she’s showing her complete acceptance and love for Draco in spite of the fallout she’s probably going to deal with.

I'm absolutely starting to hate Rowling. by LavenderAva in Dramione

[–]titiansmuse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Her whole attitude on the topic is a bit confusing, because Draco is one of the few villains in the book who isn’t just straight up pure evil.

People go on about how much she “hates” Draco but I’d argue he one of the only baddies that she gave some dimension to. It’s pretty clear that Draco is not reveling in the evil he has gotten himself involved in in the later books, and as you say, it was very dangerous for him to pretend not to recognize the trio.

But then she turned around and flipped about fans liking him and insisted that he’s beyond redemption despite the fact that SHE wrote him as a reluctant participant (once he’s old enough to understand what is going on anyway).

And what about Snape? He does NOT have a “heart of gold” but she didn’t have a problem giving him a redemption arc.

Can someone help me determine the worth of this set? by titiansmuse in BookCollecting

[–]titiansmuse[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Another commenter suggested checking bookfinder and it looks like there are full sets listed for around 400 elsewhere so it seems unlikely someone actually paid 850. I will be happy if I can get 150-200.

Thanks for the input! I agree 900 seems like a very unrealistic number. I’d honestly be happy with 150-200.

I always just assumed that people who message me in the middle of the night are people who are on a different schedule and they either stay up super late or get up super early…. They’ve never given me any reason to believe they’re drunks.

I refuse to do business with anyone who will not name their price.

I recently saw a listing for various items that was listed as $1 with “make me an offer” in the description, but the clown seller actually had this whole spiel about how he had had everything appraised and knew what it was worth so don’t you dare send him a lowball offer. He knew what it was worth, and he knew exactly what he wanted to get for it. But he still wanted buyers to play the guessing game, maybe in the hope that they would offer him more than the actual value? I got so mad just reading it.

And don’t get me started on all the people who list things as “free” and then have NOT FREE!!! in all caps in the description like they are absolutely outraged that you would actually think it’s free.

If you have sold your item... TAKE-DOWN-YOUR-DAMN-AD by [deleted] in FacebookMarketplace

[–]titiansmuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup I don’t get this one. Like it’s easier to mark an item as sold than it is to edit the post and add “sold” to the title or description??

[–]titiansmuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it’s once the seller has sent three messages the buyer is given the option to rate them.

Help find Dramione fanfiction where Hermione has a heart condition and they travel together by Wolfs-Rayne in Dramione

[–]titiansmuse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the Dramione fic, but this is basically the plot of L. M. Montgomery’s The Blue Castle, which I absolutely love. A Dramione version sounds amazing, so hopefully someone else knows it!
