God, I hope this is just our dark forest

Best of the Richmond AFC Himbos! Bonus:

But I was wondering...

What are some of your favorite Dramione fics??

with joy,

Caitlin

That is a slippery, slippery slope. 🤣 I haven't read much recently since I returned from my fandom-hopping so all of mine are older fics that dragged me into the ship like:

Arrogance and Ignorance by AnneM.Oliver

The Fool, The Emperor and The Hanged Man and Out of The Silent Planet by icanthe_waiting.

Gravity and Red Memory by Floorcoaster.

The Fallout and Parade of the Sun by Everythursday

*gestures wildly to Attica's everything* but if I had to pick one, it would be The Good Girl.

A wonderful Caricature of Intimacy and Questions of Science by countessofabe.

The Nietzsche Classes by Beringae

Revenge Is All The Sweeter by Twilight to Midnight

There's a lot I haven't read but I tend to struggle to read and write at the same time (I have a tendency to stray and will wander off like I did last time). I have yet to find balance lmao. I do have a tendency to read a bunch of oneshots or PWPs because of who I am as a person, also because I don't have time to devote to a long story like I want to.

So, my first love will always be Dramione, but here are some other Harry Potter Fanfiction I have read that doesn’t include Dramione.

⟹ You can find my favorite Dramione here. ⟹ Also check out my Hermione Granger Fanfiction blog, The Granger Archives.

The Auction by LovesBitca8 - E, 41 chapters,  Words: 325,702 - In the wake of the Dark Lord’s triumph over Harry Potter, the defeated must learn their new place. Hermione Granger, former Golden Girl, has been captured and reduced to human chattel. Sold to the highest bidder as the top prize at an auction of Order members and sympathizers, she is thrust into the rabid, waiting hands of the Death Eaters. But despite the horrors of Voldemort’s new world, help—and hope—seem to arise from the most unlikely of places. PART 3 of the RIGHTS AND WRONGS series.

Wait and Hope by mightbewriting - M, 12 chapters, Words: 95,131 - “Harry,” Hermione began, voice very controlled, but she could feel the blade of panic slicing at her vocal cords. “Why was Draco Malfoy just screaming bloody murder about his,” and the word almost strangled her as she said it, “wife?” Harry’s green eyes blew wide. Healer Lucas pinched the bridge of her nose, clearly displeased with the recent series of events. “He was referring to you, my dear,” she said. “That was the other question you got wrong. Your name is Hermione Jean Granger-Malfoy.” Hermione had to be sedated again.

Breath Mints / Battle Scars by Onyx_and_Elm - E, 51 chapters, Words: 148,908 - For a moment, she’s almost giddy. Because Draco Malfoy’s been ruined by this war and he’s as out of place as she is and — yes, he has scars too. He’s got an even bigger one. She wonders whether one day they’ll compare sizes.

Cherry Mint by dirtymudblood - M, 27 chapters, Words: 58,081 - “He could smell her. Even multiple train cars away, he could smell her. Except, Draco didn’t know who she was. He ignored his natural instincts to pant like a dog and follow the scent to the omega in the beginning stages of heat. Instead he willed himself to rub his knuckles against the rough wood of the table in front of him.”

Height by senlinyu - E, one-shot, Words: 8,774 - “Tall? That’s what you think I should notice about Malfoy? His height?” Ginny quirked an eyebrow and licked the tip of her quill suggestively. ”Well, isn’t that your thing? Lockhart. Krum. McLaggen. Ron. The only thing they have in common is being tall enough to give me a neck ache.” Hermione felt her ears grow hot, and she gripped her book tighter. “I don’t have a thing for tall men. Their height is—completely coincidental.” Dramione Height Differences Minifest 2020. 

Seeker Fit by elithien, senlinyu - T, 2 chapters, Words: 2,647 - “Will the Head Girl grace the pitch with her presence for today’s match?” The timbre of Malfoy’s cool lilting drawl slid down Hermione’s spine. She stared determinedly at the book on her lap. “As I have explained many times now, I despise Quidditch. Sitting in the rain, watching people zoom around on broomsticks, risking their lives for the sake of a game is not even remotely enjoyable. ”There was a pause and she glanced up to be greeted by the sight of Malfoy, dressed in his Quidditch uniform, carefully tightening the laces on his dark leather shin-guards.

fate and plans by elithien, senlinyu - E, one-shot, Words: 5,537 - “Granger—“ Draco yelped her name as she came dangerously close to driving his family jewels up into his lower abdomen. “Be quiet!” Her eyes were inches away from his and flashing dangerously. Her entire body was pressed firmly against Draco’s in a way that could have been incredibly arousing in literally any other circumstance. Unfortunately, Draco was devoutly preoccupied with trying to keep both her knees out from between his thighs.

Remain Nameless by HeyJude19 - E, 51 chapters, Words: 312,315 -  How did it feel? It felt like he was barely holding it together. She, of all people, should shun him. Or yell at him. Curse him. Spit at him. Take out her wand and blast him off the face of the earth. It was crushing guilt and relief and confusion all at once when he looked at Hermione Granger. The monotony of Draco’s daily routine had become both a lifeline and a noose. But this new habit of grabbing coffee with Hermione Granger is quickly becoming a reason to get out of bed and is unfortunately forcing him to re-evaluate his inconsequential existence. Hermione is living her life in fragments, separate pieces scattered about, and she can’t find a way to step back and let the full picture form. Why are morning meetings with Draco Malfoy the only thing that make sense anymore?

The Erised Effect by Ada_P_Rix - E, 13 chapters, Words: 88,852 - Hermione and Pansy work in a shop together.Draco, Harry, Theo and Blaise all work together at the Ministry.They all meet up every Friday at the pub to have drinks.Pansy has a new fantasy potion that she likes to call ‘The Erised Effect’ that she’s keen to try out on willing participants …Boys are so easy to manipulate when alcohol is involved ….

The Best of Me by MrsRen - M, 21 chapters, Words: 81,752 - Officially, Hermione Granger was killed in action during the Battle of Hogwarts. Unofficially, Draco Malfoy has never stopped searching for her. Years after the war during a mission in France, his salvation comes in the form of a little blond boy and a familiar half-Kneazle.

Ohhhh, do I have Snamione recs! *pulls up huge google spreadsheet with over 200 Snape fics on it*

Now, I have only made the smallest of dents in my spreadsheet, mostly because I prefer to read longer fics, which take a while to read, but I’ll link you to the fics I’ve read since I got back into the fandom last September that I’ve loved the most. These are all longer fics, but a lot of these authors also have shorter fics and/or one shots that are also fabulous!

This first one (Master Mine) is a Snape/Lucius/Hermione triad fic, but I just finished it 2 days ago and am still coming down off the high and in withdrawal mode. It was easily one of the hottest fucking things I’ve ever read. The rest on the list are mainly just Snape/Hermione fics:

Master Mine: A Lesson in Submission by LissaDream & Snowblind12

Chasing the Sun by Loten (My fave Snamione slowww burn fic, hands down)

Post Tenebras, Lux by Loten (Loten is a genius, tbh)

Pet Project by Caeria (also a slowwww burn)

Camerado by MillieJean (another slow burn)

An Unwritten Future by Aurette

Hermione Granger and the Crystal of Time by Aurette 

Of Muggles and Magic by Aurette (honestly anything by Aurette is sure to be a winner; her writing is a-ma-zing)

Clash of the Conjurers by llorolalluvia

The Love You Take by Subversa (the ending made me a bit emotional, in a good way because it was the ending Snape fucking deserved)

The Gilded Cage by ApollinaV (the only Marriage Law fic that’s kept my attention the entire way through…it’s also a slow burn)

Getting Past Broken by TycheSong (fairly short but so good and about healing from past trauma)

Before the Dawn by snarkyroxy (at first I thought Snape was a bit OOC in this, but it was a great slow burn, and the only HP fic so far to make me cry not once, but twice). Also, the person took out a lot of the explicit smut in that FF.net link, so HERE’S the Ashwinder link for the full smut scenes. You have to make an account for the site, but it’s worth it because there’s also some great fics on there. 

Doing it for the Order by Desert_Sea (I’ve read quite a few of her fics and they’re all REALLY good and smutty)

Self Slain Gods on Strange Altars by scumblackentropy (Okay, so this is a WIP that looks to be abandoned, but trust me when I say it’s worth the read. This is probably the most in-canon Snape I’ve read, and the writing is like pure poetry, the author is SO talented)

This frizzy haired brunette woman is one of the strongest ladies I’ve ever had the pleasure to read about. There are so many interpretations of her and I find such joy in reading all of them. 

Most, if not all, are Rated M. So be warned that almost all of them contain smut/adult content of some kind. I’m trying to branch out and read things that don’t contain smut but it’s a little challenging. I like steamy reads.

Happy Reading! 

Here are some extremely good Fremione fanfics for all those who ship it as much as I do. There are some smutty one shots, and the ratings are T or M. Most art 20K+ long but so worth the reading - enjoy

HELLZ YES! 

Okay, first off, have you read the rest of @cocoartistwrites ‘s tomione work on ffn? BECAUSE I LOVE THEM ALL. 

Salvaged -- Tom Riddle was born in 1979 and goes to school with Hermione Granger. Everything changes. AU. One-shot. COMPLETE.

Forever Means Forever (I LOVE this one in particular) -- If she ever saw Unspeakable Number 37 again she would kill him with her bare hands. Hermione's research into the Veil has an unexpected side-effect. EWE. COMPLETE.

Crookscrux -- Cats have nine lives. Tom has a problem. [Horcrux!Crookshanks] [This is probably a crackfic]

(and since this is turning into my tomione rec page I’m just going to link unsphere the stars here for anyone who has not read-- summary: When you can't change time, but you can't go forward, what is left? Hermione learns how to be the protagonist of her own story. [Tomione] COMPLETE!)

and also: 

War Paint by provocative_envy (this was my first tomione fic and WOW. did it ever open my eyes) -- It was small, slim, about the length of her hand; the leather cover was soft, the sewn-in binding was crisp, and the thick vellum pages were empty. 'Tom Marvolo Riddle' was printed in ancient, flaking gold leaf across the front.He had been a Slytherin, a prefect, and head boy in 1944.She had checked.[ ALTERNATIVELY - Hermione finds Tom Riddle's diary, but not everything is different. ]

Nightmare by provocative_envy -- A broken time turner shouldn't have sent me back so far. It was unprecedented. Stepping on it--smashing it--nothing should have happened. At most, I should have lost a week. At worst, I should have disappeared altogether. I shouldn't have traveled back fifty-two years; half a bloody century.This should not have happened.

A Nose that Can See by Colubrina -- Hermione Granger has found herself inexplicably tossed back into time to Tom Riddle's Hogwarts. And he's a Veela and, wouldn't you know it, she's his mate. Could life get worse? But he seems to have an endless supply of out-of-season fruit so it can't be all bad, right? Tomione. Major character death, musical theater, and all that fruit.

Tomione One Shots Under 500 Words by Colubrina -- A collection of tomione one-shots, all shorter than 500 words.

Illumination by Sionnain (this is volmione but GO READ IT) -- In the aftermath of Voldemort's victory, Hermione Granger finds enlightenment in the darkness. complete

Assassin by Sionnain -- Through her hate, she becomes his Assassin, and he finds her beautiful when she kills.

Fostering a Nightmare by NinjaFairy -- A ten-year-old foster child named Tom Riddle showed up on the Granger's front doorstep with his social worker in the summer of 1990. Hermione spent the following years adjusting to life with her new foster brother; so, she never realized how often he kept an eye on her. "I've always watched you, Hermione; and you've always been mine." [Magical AU]

The Roots of This Tree by frak-all -- Tom Riddle is sixteen. He is also angry, a murderer, and scrambling to salvage his very-well-thought-out plan.Hermione is sixteen. She's bleeding out on the Ministry floor, and events just get worse from there.

Nothing Like the Sun by talloohlip-- There’s something unnerving about Tom Riddle.Hermione’s never quite been able to articulate just what it is about him that unsettles her so: after all, Riddle’s popular and charming and adored by Hogwarts staff and students alike. Still, she’d swear that there’s something lurking beneath that warmly polite veneer of his, something that lies in wait like a serpent in the dark.But it’s not until her sixth year at Hogwarts, when she rashly confronts him over an unprecedented act of violence, that the full force of Riddle’s chilling regard is abruptly and wholly turned on her.

Addendum: He is Also a Liar by Ergott -- Despite his impoverished circumstances, Tom Riddle always knew he was destined for great things. The ability to travel back and forth through time was a bit of a surprise, though. Also a surprise: the bushy-haired little girl he meets in the future who possesses powers to match his own. Eventual Tomione; starts pre-Hogwarts.

era appropriate by esotyric -- Tom Riddle is pretending to be infatuated with her. Hermione wants to know why.

The Prisoner by NerysDax-- Imprisoned, Lord Voldemort is considered a threat of the past. His knowledge is desired by many. Yet, his offer is for one person only: Hermione Weasley-Granger.

o death by atweird -- the night brings a sweeping wind. —- [timeturner, first wizarding war, tomione, tom riddle/voldemort x hermione granger]

A Summer Storm, Ephemeral by alpha_exodus -- In the middle of summer 1943, Tom meets a girl.

Don’t Get Left Behind by Shan84 -- Tom Riddle couldn’t stand the way she always managed to walk away from him. He’d go as far as breaking the barriers of time to ensure it never happened again.

Here is a little sneak peek of my next Tomione that will be coming out in another week or so – I’m so excited to hear what you think about this one…definitely a bit different from what I normally write.

“Godric, please, can’t you just tell the Headmaster that I need to speak with him?” she begged, after trying two dozen passwords. “It’s an emergency.”

The gargoyle remained in its place, unmoving.

Hermione wanted to pull her hair and scream, wondering if anything was going to end up going her way today. Huffing, she would just have to go check the Great Hall she supposed. Turning on her heel, Hermione was shocked to come face to face with a wand pointed at her nose. She put her arms up in surrender immediately, knowing that she’d never have time to draw her own wand.

“State your name,” a deadly serious voice said, different but recognizable.

She looked past the tip of the wand, up until she was staring into the eyes of it’s master. Dumbledore, she thought fondly. “Please, Professor Dumbledore, it’s just me, Hermione Granger,” she said in a rush.

Dumbledore did not seem to relax even a bit at her words. “I don’t know a Hermione Granger,” he said, his eyes narrowing.

Hermione let her eyes rove over the wizard’s form. His hair was just brushing his shoulders and was clearly a golden, auburn color. His beard had not year accrued any great length, and was instead neatly trimmed and dark. Dumbledore also did not yet wear glasses, half-moon or otherwise. The only constant was his deep purple robes.

“I’m sorry sir, I don’t believe that we have met…yet,” she said, mournfully, hoping that he wouldn’t be too difficult to convince. “I’ve had an accident with a time turner, you see. I’m afraid I’ve come from a very distant future to you.” She tugged on the golden chain that hung around her neck as proof. “Do you think you could tell me what the date is?”

“It’s August 18th, 1944,” he said, still looking cautious.

“Oh Merlin,” Hermione said. “I’ve come from about…five decades in the future.” She felt her body begin to sway, feeling lightheaded again, only this time she knew it was not from the time travel.

“Five decades? Impossible,” he dismissed her.

“I assure you, it’s not,” Hermione countered. “My friend and I were fighting over a time turner and well, I fell on it. It’s shattered to bits actually.”

“Obviously a very stupid thing to do, Miss Granger,” he said with a hint of a sneer.

“I was only defending myself,” Hermione said, suddenly feeling very defensive. If only Dumbledore knew what the fighting was over. “I am typically very careful with the time turner, but this time was an accident.”

Silence stretched between them, but eventually, Dumbledore put his wand away. He was still distrustful of her, that was obvious, but he was clearly willing to listen to her side of the story. “What business do you have at Hogwarts? And with the Headmaster?”
