Dramione RomCom Fest

A fun, stress-free fest to explore our favorite couple through the glorious world of romcoms!

[dramioneromcomfest]

Trim the tree and hang some mistletoe, my friends. It’s time for the Dramione RomCom Fest: Christmas Edition!

FEST RULES

No prompt list this time, my loves. There are a million and one Christmas romcoms, and who am I to limit your options? The only requirement for the movie you select is that it be a romcom set at Christmas. Go with a classic like White Christmas or Love Actually, or one of this year’s Hallmark lineup, or some obscure made-for-tv flick you recorded one Christmas and now watch every year. Just pick one you love and let the merriment begin!

Not sure if your choice fits that description? Contact me and I’ll be happy to discuss with you. 

Here are few lists to help if you don’t have a film in mind

45 Most Romantic Christmas Movies, Including the Best Holiday Rom-Coms

33 Best Romantic Christmas Movies That Will Give You All the Feels This Holiday

The 40 Best Hallmark Christmas Movies of All Time

Posting deadline is January 15 midnight CDT.

Stories and artwork must be posted to the AO3 fest collection before the deadline. I ask that you please wait to post to other platforms until after the fest has gone live.

https://archiveofourown.org/collections/DramioneRomComFestChristmasEdition

Be sure to include your chosen movie in the author’s notes!

The fest will go live January 16 noon CDT

I will promote each story and art piece on Tumblr, one or two per day depending on the number of entries

As always, this fest is open to both authors and artists!

AUTHORS: 1000 word minimum, no max, written for the fest

I understand that stories sometimes run away with us, so you are welcome to post a WIP as long as it meets the 1000 word minimum. You can then update on your own schedule.

ARTISTS: At least one piece of original artwork.

This can be hand-drawn, digital art, or photo manipulation. You are not limited to the number of pieces you create for your prompt.

If you are both an author AND an artist, you are welcome to post artwork to go along with your story. Again, you will only be allowed one prompt.

Any rating welcome, but please tag appropriately for any TW. No non-con or pedophilia permitted.

This is a Dramione fest, so while you are welcome to have other characters and pairings, the main pairing must be Draco and Hermione. Triads and multis (Dramione + another character/s) are welcome.

Let your imagination run wild! This does not have to be a direct retelling. Feel free to focus on your favorite scene, make it an au, swap the main pairing’s roles, set it at Hogwarts. Have fun with it!

I’m so excited to host this fest again with a holiday twist and can’t wait to see all the amazing stories and artwork!

You can also save a copy of the rules here.

Always Christmas Eve by WritingFicariously

Rated: M

Status: WIP

Summary:  After a year of dating, Draco Malfoy is ready to pop *the* question. When Hermione invites him to meet her parents over the holidays, he thinks it might just be the perfect proposal setting.

Entry Spotlight

Warmth of the Season in my Heart by magical_traveler

@magicaltraveler3

Rated: M

Status: Complete

Summary: Draco’s eyes landed on the most horrendous jumper he’d ever seen.

There was red and gold tinsel wrapped around the arms, a green pointed tree in the centre with a large rock with a long white beard in sunglasses dancing with a guitar. But worst of all were the words above the thing: Rock-in Around the Christmas Tree. Draco couldn’t help but laugh at the bloke. He looked up to see who was in the thing, and of course, it was Hermione fucking Granger.

Dramione RomCom Fest time! One of my absolute favorite holiday movies is White Christmas. The costumes! The music! The dancing! The humor! 💙🎄💙 Now make it Dramione!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

“Don’t apologize, everybody’s got an angle.” Draco crooned.

Hermione was taken aback. “That’s a pretty cynical point of view.”

“Come, come now, Miss Granger. Surely you knew everybody’s got a little larceny operating in them?” he mansplained as he leaned in.

She scooted her chair closer, fully engaged for battle. “Just for the record, I want you to know that my sister and I don’t play angles.”

“Well if that letter wasn’t an angle, I’d like to know what it was.”

“I don’t like your whole inferences.”

“I’ve got no squawks, no beefs. The kid played a percentage, it worked and we’re here. Let’s not make a whole big mish-mosh out of it.”

Dancing easily with one another, Theo and Pansy looked on at her sister and his longtime best friend. “They’re getting along just fine.”

“And so quickly, too. Isn’t that nice?”

~~~~~This was SO stolen from the movie script. Gaaah but I love it! Thanks to @quintalon for hosting @dramioneromcomfest again. Thanks for indulging my obsession with White Christmas!

Entry Spotlight - Day 25

Better and Better by DakotaDelacour

Rated: E

Status: Complete

Prompt: What If (2013)                              

Summary: “Want to go for a swim?” asks Hermione.

They don’t have bathing suits, so she must mean in their drawers or in the nude. Either way, it’s a provocative question, something she shouldn’t ask. Because she has a boyfriend. Sure, he’s halfway around the world, busy opening a new location of Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes. And sure, as of late, their long-distance relationship seems to be deteriorating. But they’re still a couple. They’ve built a life together. They share a mortgage and Gringotts account, for fuck’s sake. Which is why Draco knows he should resist temptation.

But he also knows he’s not going to.

(Based on the film What If)
