Ok, I know the author does not necessarily want to see their story on Goodreads, but oh my, this deserves all the good ratings it is due.
The first half was five stars. Completely heartbreaking. One of my favorite minitropes is Hermione taking care of and standing up for Draco. So I ate that right up.
The second half was still amazing, but it did get a little slow. Also I was not completely convinced that it was the Draco we know. Yeah, it is reformed Draco fic, but x=x. He seemed a little like a stranger to me from time to time. BUT that is the ONLY critique I have to say.
This was a beautiful read and I ached for them.
Also, how can I be the first one to write an actual review for this masterpiece?? Where are all the Dramione suckers?

a fic where hermione has attachment issues to her pubes and it was sooo good
also top 5 micro tropes of all time: when he's obsessed with her curls
"For all the moments that I could have had a choice, you would have been my after." omfg.

Oh man. I read this at the beginning of the year and it wasn't on the goodreads. The author said they didn't want it here however it is a fic that needs to be read.
This was so heart breaking and beautiful and I loved it soo much.
Different from other fics I've read and I've read just about all of the classics.

Ainda me lembro quando disse que ia fazer sanduíche de livros normais com fics, e agora aqui estou eu a ler 4 fics de seguida. Oh well,
É O QUE É! Judge me if you dare

Eu estou tão deep no DramioneTok que eu já recebo recomendações de WIPs que estão a ser publicados atualmente, e esta fic foi um desses casos.

Para além do TikTok me “forçar” a ler a fic, um AU em que o Draco foi sentenciado ao “beijo” dos dementors, e a Hermione e o Theo (🫶🏼) descobrem uma lei antiga que diz que se ela casar com ele, ele não tem morrer, parece ser ganda slay. E foi!

Para variar, esta fic doeu na alma. O meu bby Draco sofre muito😭😭😭
Ele esteve um ano em Azkaban e estava completamente broken….I almost cried
Mas vê-lo gradualmente a ficar mais saudável física e mentalmente é sempre worth it.

Já sabemos que o Ron reage sempre mal à relação do Draco e da Hermione, e também se sabe que a Narcissa é fifty-fifty, mas o que eu não estava à espera era da reação da Molly.
Canon Molly would never treat hermione like that. Doeuuu

Odiei o tema e o facto de ser um ponto de discussão sequer, tal como odeio na vida real, mas terem posto a plot do racismo para com os muggles nesta fic, foi muito gostoso. A plot ficou muito mais tensa quando tudo finalmente fez sentido. Fuck the pureblood supremacists


Agora vamos voltar à programação normal, e vamos ler um livro publicado 😇

Eating breakfast while writing this one, and all I can say is: thank fking god it’s over.

The story was really promising at the beginning: emotionally vulnerable, damaged Draco; the Ministry not redesigning itself after the war…

Even the backstory of the Gallows marriage was well thought out. Sexist? YES, but it made sense for an old, deeply entrenched society.

But after the closet scene, everything started going downhill.

The whole miscommunication trope was just frustrating. And having Hermione go on full-on monologues about how certain things are not okay, only to completely forget everything she said two seconds ago just to agree with Draco or some other man...

It genuinely felt like she’d been lobotomised.

The whole evil Ministry plot was so superficial and obvious that by the end I just ended up skipping through the book.

The last chapter and epilogue were completely lost on me. Couldn’t even finish those.

The writing style got progressively worse, too, so by the end we had blank characters who just happened to be named Hermione or Draco.

As always, ignore my ratings (though this 3 fics were a hell of 5⭐ reads to me for sure lol who am I fooling it's always an easy 5⭐ read when it's about my 2 favorite adorable idiots 💚) Oh, I've read this fic already so this serve as a PLACEHOLDER.

Hermione in this got kind of annoying because I didn't understand why she's suddenly defending him with all her breath when she doesn't have any reason to and on top of that, over her friends. She quite literally would never have abandoned Ron when he was injured for Malfoy, within five seconds of knowing him. The whole Malfoy-Granger thing almost doesn't suit her character. I loved the fan fiction. The writing is incredible. But her lack of spine and backbone just really irritated me and I almost DNF'd it. I also didn't understand this whole defensive need to protect him, to defend him, etc. i love a good i can fix hime trope but there wasnt a redemption to fix really.

Y’all this was actually so bloody good. I loved the character development of both hermione and Draco and the way they complimented each other. I also love a good Weasley bashing, lowkey didn’t like that it was all of them but Ginny but it did make sense. My poor baby Draco just wanted to live, which he does and hermione and draco finally figured out how to survive after the war. I was gonna bloody murder that codsworth, just a little weasel. Anyways this was a great book.

[Tracy Yakey]

Theo enlists Hermione’s help to save Draco from getting the Dementor’s Kiss. The only way they can find to save him is an old law that has somehow been forgotten, The Gallows Marriage Law. Hermione, in a last minute effort to save Draco, agrees to marry him and be bound to him for 5 years. But then, a string of muggle murders are linked to Draco. Can Hermione prove that Draco is being framed or is Draco not as reformed as he says he is?
+Crookshanks & Draco bonding! 🐈

i loove the first half where she’s like taking care of him but i really can’t bring myself to enjoy the ‘action’ in the second half

[Olivia Horenberger · Rating 1 out of 5]

Too fluffy, wanted the characters to have more depth but I feel like they lost who they were and became an idea of who they are supposed to be. Liked the plot but wanted it to be darker.

I somewhat like the forced marriage trope within this fanfiction but also struggle with it because it is always a bit unbelievable. otherwise thoroughly enjoyed
