Went on a Fleurmione binge…
…after deciding out of nowhere to check out the Potterverse f/f scene. I’ve read quite a number of fics since then and have some standouts I want to commend.
These 3 fics are amazing in their own right for many, many reasons that if I started breaking down every thought I have about them, I’d be droning on which I do not want to do. So instead, I simply wish to air out what makes these 3 stand out for me in comparison to other fics in their general category.
Favorite Veela Mates fic — Sometimes You’ve Got to Bleed to Know, by jump_the_gunn
I love how the Veela Mates element in this fic is not heavy-handed. How it’s only hinted at in the beginning before it’s slowly unveiled. How it’s understated and not the sole focus of Fleurmione’s budding relationship.
Favorite Post-Hogwarts fic — What You Don’t Know, by zerodawn22
3rd Person Limited is hands down my favorite POV in written media and this fic delivers it well. Confining the reader to Hermione’s POV lends an element of intrigue to Fleur’s POV as if it’s a mystery to be solved.
Favorite Tri Wizard Tournament fic — Cruel Intentions, by Perpetual_Nonsense
It’s a breath of fresh air to see Ron and Viktor written in a respectable light. I’ve read too many fics that paint them as one-dimensional assholes which practically displays the author’s biases against these characters. Instead of turning hated characters into punching bags, why not make them into the kinds of characters you would actually like to see? I feel like Cruel Intentions did exactly this with Ron and Viktor extremely well.
I like stories that don’t revolve exclusively on the romance.
I like writing styles which lend an air of mystery to non-POV characters.
I like when authors constructively build on a character, making them better than their canon counterparts.
Okay. Back to finding more stories to read.
