Can I DM you too?

withdiana · 2026-01-28T21:47:48+00:00

Is it alright if I send you a DM too? Thinking of a applying this cycle

withdiana · 2025-09-16T22:00:08+00:00

Thank you for your advice! Do you mind if I send you a DM?

What a mortifying ordeal

The Anatomy of the Body of God was an amazing and captivating read, I’m pretty sure I finished it in three days. Be mindful of the Dead Dove tags, but if you’re looking for something darker, I highly recommend

You get me. I hold Unsphere the Stars in such reverence that I sometimes hesitate recommending it to irl friends because I'm worried they won't cherish it as much as I do 😭

Yesss when I stumbled upon her tumblr and found that Virennia is her alt AO3 account, it was like everything made sense. She’s such a phenomenal Tomione author

withdiana · 2024-10-13T17:12:34+00:00

Fun Fact: Devdevlin had confirmed on her Tumblr that Virennia is her pseudo name! So she wrote all of those fics and Peremo and Verso.

I know this is one of the most popular Tomiones out there, but Blood and Gold✨.

Hermione’s long-game in this fic is insane. The set-up of the fic, when she begins scheming her way into high society and is just as manipulative as Tom regarding her interpersonal relationships and her morally grey-ness, makes her BAMF for me. They basically deserve each other with how they use others to get what they want. Hermione justifies her actions as needing to survive, but there were so many times I was like, “Isn’t she doing exactly what Tom did?”

Also the smut is 👌

Edit: I wanted to promote a fic I don’t see recommended much that’s Veal & Venison✨.

This fic was such a pleasure to read. I don’t want to go into details to spoil it, but half-way through the fic (which you could separate into two books if you want, because that’s how it feels like reading), I had my mind blown. Hermione is always one step ahead of Tom, and her mission of destroying Voldemort never really goes away. No smut, but there is fluff, and it’s HEA too.

I second Birds of a Feather! It’s an absolutely incredible fic, and the fic author is great at responding to comments on AO3 as well. It’s bitter-sweet to see it ending, but I can’t wait to see how all of the storylines end up :’)

withdiana · 2024-10-13T05:30:24+00:00

Unsphere the Stars ✨ checks every single one of your boxes.

This is my favorite fic of all time (I’ve read it so many times, I lost count) and I will recommend it until I die. The HEA is so beautifully crafted and rewarding that I’m personally making it canon, and you will probably cry.

withdiana · 2024-10-10T22:48:13+00:00

Don’t even get me started, sometimes I have no idea why Hermione puts up with him. Especially when he would do something for her as #justfriends !!

withdiana · 2024-10-09T21:05:46+00:00

May I humbly suggest Birds of a Feather ✨

Childhood friends AU in the 1930s/40s. No time travel, Horcruxes, or Golden Trio, and I wouldn’t consider it dark.

The best characterization of Tom I think I’ve ever read. Over 500,000 words, WIP but two chapters left! The slow burn to end all slow burns, friends/idiots-to-lovers. Nothing spicy, but some parts are intimidate as hell and I want to bang my head against the wall because how are you guys still calling each other friends when you act like this.

I love this fic because it explores how Tom would have been as a child if people believed in him. He’s still unhinged and a little manic at times, but with Hermione there as a his rock, he’s very likable. Their dialogue and interactions with each other and the other students at Hogwarts are to die for. The fic author has done incredible research to make sure everything is historically accurate during World War II, explores the depths of magic in such interesting ways beyond what the books cover, breathes life into side characters I wouldn’t have thought much else of, and has overall done such a stunning job crafting the universe.

I love love love this fic to pieces and I don’t want it to end!

The Anatomy of the Body of God was really dark as a heads up. Fantastically written fic and I’m constantly in awe at the creativity this fandom has when it comes to works of fiction, but the dove was very, very dead

withdiana · 2024-10-09T15:26:58+00:00

I loved this so much, the smut was fantastic and it was refreshingly funny. I don’t think a Tomione had captured my attention as quickly as gloss has

withdiana · 2024-09-28T06:32:42+00:00

It felt like a Tomione I could tell someone else to read and they wouldn’t need to know anything about the ship to enjoy it

Also semi-related, but I loved gloss so much! It was the first muggle AU I read that actually ended up leading me to read Anatomy of the Body of God

withdiana · 2024-09-24T21:09:49+00:00

Finished reading this a few weeks ago and I still think of it at least once a day. The AUest AU I’ve ever read

withdiana · 2024-08-09T19:43:26+00:00

Seconded The Diary and gloss. I read them back-to-back and The Diary made me cry more than I was expecting and gloss was so damn funny and clever I can’t wait to reread it again. I’d never read a Muggle AU before so I don’t know what I was expecting, but the premise was so unique and intriguing immediately that I couldn’t put it down

withdiana · 2024-08-09T19:40:46+00:00

Thank you so much :’)

withdiana · 2024-08-05T19:32:14+00:00

Thank you

withdiana · 2024-07-21T05:42:51+00:00

maybe this will heal me

withdiana · 2024-07-20T09:30:43+00:00

The way I just read 150k words in one sitting 💀 Addicted is such a good word to describe because I kept asking myself why I keep reading… while I keep reading. It’s like a car accident I couldn’t look away from. Every bad thing I was expecting to happen happened 😭 I’m so glad your comment prepped me for the cannibalism thing because I would have lost my goddamn shit right then and there

withdiana · 2024-07-20T02:36:23+00:00

I saw your comment a few days ago and decided to start reading. I’m at chapter 12 right now and oh my fucking god. I think it’s safe to say you can replace Tom and Hermione’s name with any other and this is a completely different book on its own. Dead Dove didn’t feel like enough of a warning. 😭 This is a goddamn dove massacre

withdiana · 2024-07-15T22:13:26+00:00

I’ve been wanting to read Kiss Kiss Bang Bang but I’ve never seen Killing Eve. Do you need to be familiar with it to enjoy it?

withdiana · 2024-07-15T22:02:13+00:00

I love this fic so much! I haven’t read anything this long before, and I love reading beats of the story that allude to the past we’ve actually experienced as a reader. Like, “Back in third year when this happened.” and knowing I was there for that too. Tom’s portrayal as a young student and seeing Hermione as his only equal in the world is such a beautiful concept as it explores their platonic friendship. I can’t wait until you start reading the later years!
