An Imperfect Situation by erininoctober

2.5 stars. 8th year fic where Ron tries to prevent Hermione from getting an abortion and unexpectedly she gets help from Draco. everyone has commitment issues. H has terrible friends but she never cuts them out. I thought they were at a good place at 50% so I didn’t understand why the 3rd act break up happened.

Going to use this as placeholder for “Headspace” by the same author since it’s not on GR.

Just want to say how much I appreciated the characters written as real people. Draco notices Theo reading 1984 - “why would he be reading about the year 1984”, and Hermione reading Fahrenheit 451. He proceeds to check out these books and starts thinking about censorship during the war. Great character progression.

there's always a straight way to the point by b_lovedhunter

Perfection. 5 stars. Only complaint is it ended and I want more.

One and Done by pacificrimbaud
3 stars / 172 pages
The writing was interesting… the author omits information so often times I’m not really following the dialogue until later… but I like that Draco rejected further advances when Hermione said no kissing cuz love a man with boundaries :)

I Won’t Kiss a Death Eater by orolin

48 pages / 4.5, so short yet hit so hard! War time spy H and D meet up to trade secrets. It’s giving Manacled Part 2. Loved it!

Exception to the line by mymaasterpiece (AO3)

Although I enjoy a good manipulative Draco, this one is a bit too Social Darwinism. Did not expect Hermione having 6 kids.

Read On the Rocks by ninepiecrsofcrait - not on GR. 3 stars. It was fun but Draco was a little ooc cuz he is a bartender … who lived in Muggle world for several years … has tattoos all over … and has a man bun …? And they had a threesome with Blaise and Draco was bottom and someone got pegged by Hermione I was skimming at that point…

‘He and Hermione would be best friends, and Harry and Ron would be their other friends.
People grow apart, he would say, don't blame yourself, Granger, not everyone can be like us, and Hermione would be sad and then less sad and she'd never give Ron her tears or her laughter or her secret smiles ever again.
Which was the kind of thought he might expect more often if he were a clinical psychopath.’

So toxic gotta take a breather.

The SLOW BURN. Yule ball is the death of me Krum GO AWAY.

Finished Prisoner of Azkaban! The rewriting was soooo good. Loved how Harry (and the golden quartet) got to “properly” meet and catch up with Sirius and Lupin, gossiping about his parents and goshing over the Marauder’s Map.

And how Draco conjured his first patronus from his memory of Hermione waking up from petrification. Loved that on the train platform it took them endless attempts to say goodbye.

Chamber of Secrets done! This fic is so brilliantly hilarious and true to character. Ugh can’t wait for year 4.

This is a retelling of all 8 books of Harry Potter with Draco sorted into Gryffindor (a capricious joke from the sorting hat); without the influence of Lucius (dead), reluctantly friends with Hermione - he prefers the term “academic associates for strategic purposes” - and Harry, Ron - by association of Granger really - could Draco find himself on a path different from his fate?

Finished Sorcerer’s Stone!

Ah yes an unhinged, mean, domineering manwhore Draco

the crack in Dramione fics needs to be studied

A happy au reprieve

Picking up where Rose In Chains left off! I just couldn’t stay away from this story.

I’m already dreading the wait for the unpublished sequels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Secretly hoping rads won’t finish this book…

Why does every chapter have at least one
“The day when xxxx would mark the end of life had I known it”
"when they look back to this time they will remember xxx"
"in x years he will tell his sister xxx"

I had to double check the author’s gender because of the way women are written

R Lee Smith got me reading a fan fic of a game I’ve never played.

too instalove 🤔

Loving where this is heading. Grown adults snowball fighting from boiling pent-up anger. Every throw is an unspoken “I hate that I love u”. Then they wordlessly get back in the car to drive to investigate the crime scene.

Shiloh Sloane is so talented. She can paint the scene and the core of the characters in just 25 pages.
