"And another thing! It’s completely incomprehensible that they don’t want to further the goals of international relations!”  

Granger's voice had steadily climbed into a shout that was almost shrill. She had been pacing back and forth in front of Draco, one hand on her hip, the other one gesturing and slashing at the air in front of her. Her eyes were flashing with barely controlled ire, and her chest was rising up and down. He couldn’t help but admire how her anger transformed her appearance: her cheeks were flushed, her lips were red, and her hair was a wild, riotous mess--exactly how he imagined her to look in the throes of passion.

The words popped unbidden out of his mouth. “You’re sexy when you’re angry.”

The next moment, he deeply regretted being in such proximity with her this late at night. His mind had a tendency to wander and his verbal control very clearly vanished.

Mouth open in apparent readiness to launch into another tirade, she whirled to face him instead. She blinked owlishly at him, her lips still formed around an O of exclamation. "I—what?"

"I didn't say anything," Draco said immediately. In retrospect, that was the worst lie he could have come up with. In his defense, however, his lying skills went decidedly askew when he was around her.

"Yes, you did." Her hand had been gesticulating in that impassioned manner of hers all the reasons why she was disappointed by the International Assembly, but now he had piqued her interest in the worst way—by saying something that was so blatantly false. She advanced on him with an intent expression, obviously determined on forcing the truth out of him. He would have whimpered if he hadn't been so simultaneously turned on and terrified.

"Did you just say I'm sexy when I'm angry?" She made a sound that was somewhere between an amused laugh and scoff of disbelief.

He tried not to squirm in his seat. "Well, it's very late, and my eyesight is clearly going." 

She paused in her approach, suddenly looking wary. "Malfoy—Draco, um, you're—you've never—" she broke off, shaking her head in a puzzled way. "That is, I'm seeing someone but we..."

Of course she was. She was always seeing someone. Embarrassment and disappointment warred in the pit of his stomach. "Good lord," he said, making a show of rolling his eyes to the ceiling. "Are you taking me seriously? I'm only just tired. I wanted to stop you before you went on a mad tirade for hours."

His tone was extra snippy because her comment—tinged with unbearable sympathy—hit too close to home. Why had he opened his big fat mouth? For the same reason he always volunteered to be paired up with her on these assignments when he couldn't touch her. Because he had no self-control whatsoever and was a glutton for punishment.

When he lifted his eyes to look at her, he saw that her cheeks were flushed and she bobbed her head too many times before tucking a few flyaway curls behind her ear. She seemed unaccountably flustered by his comment, clearly indicating just how unwelcome it was. "Right. I...sorry, yes. I lose control sometimes, I know." Her words were overlapping one another, they tumbled so quickly from her mouth. "Anyway. Maybe we could—pick this up tomorrow?"

For a moment, he didn't understand. This same horrifying conversation would continue tomorrow?

No; she meant work, of course. As always. She didn't look at him as she ducked her head down and began to stack up the file folders on the table. He let the front two legs of his chair thud back onto the ground and stood. For a moment, he watched her dainty profile and the efficient, brisk movements of her small, slim fingers before hurriedly jerking his eyes away.

"I'm off to bed then." His lame exit line was mostly directed at her back because she had hunched her shoulders up around her ears. It occurred to him that she was embarrassed, but he couldn't imagine the reason. He was the one who had blurted out how he felt about her, how he wished that they could—

Better not go down that route. 

He nodded at her back, steeling his resolve and regaining control of himself. It was just a slip of the tongue. It wouldn't happen again. 

Especially when it was so clear that she was unreservedly uninterested in him.

The Deadline - Lena Phoria

The Deadline - Lena Phoria (Chapters: 39, Words: 329,548, Rating: M)

It takes the unexpected engagement of their children to get Draco and Hermione in a room together, but only the selfish acts of their estranged spouses and a 300 Galleon bottle of firewhiskey will get them in a bedroom. What starts out as a one time mistake soon becomes a full-blown affair with a deadline; the day their children say 'I do'. But things rarely go according to plan. 

Gotta admit, I read diligently word per word up to around halfway but then started skimming it till the end. Either the pacing could’ve been better, or the fic simply went on too long. Things progressed quickly in the first half and it was exciting, but then lost steam in the second half. 

My other issue is that the way the fic is written feels colloquial. It was a weird juxtaposition to be reading middle aged, sophisticated characters in what is a decidedly younger voice. I honestly thought the premise of the story was great, especially since we don’t really get too many fics with middle aged dramione. I’m a major sucker for mature dramione because shit is usually hella complicated. Not only do we get conflicts from the whole ‘I’ve hated you for so long’, but there’s usually family implications (additional to Harry and Ron stuff). Not to mention if there’s any infidelity in the mix, whew, there’s bound to be mayhem. Unfortunately for me, it fell flat in this fic because I felt like reading a bunch of teenagers playing house. The characters weren’t believable as parents or mature people and that comes across not only in the way they speak but the way they react to problems. So the conflicts, while very real, didn’t have as much emotional punch as they ought to.

Where could I read The Fallout by Sage? :)

I had it pdf-ed a long time ago but I just saw that someone actually posted it up on AO a couple of years back.

[navigatingdramione]

The Fallout - everythursday (Sage)

Summary: Hermione learns about growing up through the redemption of Draco Malfoy.

So... pretty sure I’m the last person in the whole wide fandom to read this fic seeing as The Fallout is one of the or possibly the most recc-ed dramione fic in the universe. And after years and years of putting it off, I finally had the guts to read it. I’ve been reading Sage’s other stuff, but I always put off reading this cos I feel like I would have nothing else once I get through this ultimate piece. This fic feels like the superlatives.

Personally, I always find it a bit hard to read other fanfiction (or hell even actual fiction) once you’ve read stuff by Sage simply because her writing style is, for lack of better word, unfuckingbelievably good and she’s spoiled you for other fics. Her stories can be hard to get into, and let’s be honest, sometimes you don’t get into it. But once you’re in, you don’t want to get out. Her writing has the ability to make you feel as if you are living and breathing within her universe, experiencing the same situation and feelings as these characters are. 

What I really love is she doesn’t tell you or dictate to you what the narrator (usually Hermione) is feeling, she describes it. So once you’ve built a connection with the character, you can feel your empathy for her. I finished The Fallout this morning and I’m experiencing a whole bout of separation anxiety right now. 

Essentially the fic follows Hermione navigating through years of war and how she’s changed by it. I would argue that out of Sage’s fics, The Fallout is probably one of the easiest ones to get into. It’s relatively straight forward in narration with a pace that is relatively swift. Although it does cover about 4 years in smaller daily events, so it is long. I do have minor issues with some things in the fic and how Sage portrays some qualities because they feel a bit of a trigger for me. But the thing is, I can’t fault it too much because the story is told through a narrator’s innermost thoughts. The narrator is such an established personality with valid feelings and emotions and thoughts. Of course there are machinations to further the story (that are completely external to the narrator’s head) that I wouldn’t agree with but with respect to the narrator’s thoughts, I feel that as a reader I might not agree with her, but I have to respect her.

#5 don't touch me dramione for the writing prompt thingy, something that is angsty fluffy goodness? Love your work.

Hey, thanks! ❤️ Here you go…

Prompt 5: “Don’t touch me right now”

“Shacking Up”

“Don’t touch me right now, Malfoy. It’s bad enough we’re stuck in here, but after what I’m sure I confessed in my spellbound haze, you probably have more of an ability to hurt me now than even Voldemort had.”

“But you’re bleeding, you silly witch, come here and let me heal you.”

His voice had no bite, and she recoiled.

Everything had been a blur as some sort of summoning charm had grabbed hold of them both as they’d been searching around the Shrieking Shack on a case. It grabbed onto them like gravity, only sideways and winding rather than just down. They were compelled into the house itself and both underwent a period of extreme confusion and paranoia, Malfoy recovering first and hearing Hermione’s panicked ramblings.

She couldn’t remember what she’d said but feared the worst.

And now rather than taunting her, he was being gentle.

Her DMLE partner hadn’t used a soft tone with her like that since the night they’d…

“Fine. Heal me,” she said stiffly and stood up straight so that the cut on her neck would be accessible to him.

He sauntered over, because that was the only way he walked, but it was missing ego. A tingle ran up and down her spine as his fingers grazed her jawline, tilting her head back ever so slightly.

As he cast the charm, he waved his arm in front of both their faces, and just as he completed the movement she realized he’d been looking into her eyes the whole time. She took in a small gasp as his eyes moved immediately to her lips. She looked down at his in turn and her mind began to swim as she watched his lips form words.

“I love you too, Granger.”

You should read draconian! I could send you a copy since it was taken down, but it was supposedly one of the best Damion duds on Wattpad! I highly recommend

Ah, heard a lot of great things about this! Will try it out, thanks for the rec!

The Right Thing To Do - lovesbitca8

The Right Thing To Do by lovesbitca8 (Chapters: 36 - Words: 181,388 - Rating: M)

Summary: Hermione felt the pounding in her ears again. She would see him for the first time since the Great Hall, gaunt and stricken at the Slytherin table with his mother clutching his arm. She hadn't meant to look for him. Not in the corridors, not beneath the white sheets of the fallen, not on the way to the Chamber of Secrets with Ron, but she was a stupid girl.

Wow, has it really been 2 whole years since I last posted. And even longer since I actually finished a long multi-chaptered Dramione.

I was randomly looking through some fics and came across this one with quite an intriguing blurb and decided to try it out. I hadn’t read a new fic in forever and this one was LONG! I honestly didn’t think I’d see through to chapter 2. But the first chapter was interesting, so was the 2nd, and 3rd and so on. The fic didn’t let me leave and I was grateful for it!

One of my favourite things about this fic is how Hermione is equal parts awkward and vulnerable but also such a fierce and foulmouthed lady. It’s great to see a female character that embodies both sides of the proverbial coin and still come off so authentic in her character.

Just wanted to pop in for a bit. Hello! 

Whew, sorry I’ve been MIA for months. Find myself unable to split time after getting back to real life and new job. Haven’t read dramione fics in months either so unfortunately no new posts in the pipeline yet. Hopefully can update sometime soon!

Bowie and Rickman, both 69, both beaten by cancer and both legends in their own right. There’s one hell of an odd, crazy fucking party going on upstairs right now. RIP Alan Rickman.

Seven Times - kerri240879

Seven Times by kerri240879 (Chapters: 7 - Words: 16,526 - Rating: M)

Summary: Seven times can mean a lifetime of change.

This was a great read. I actually really liked the fact that Draco became “part of the group” first before even becoming anything with Hermione. Ron/Harry/Draco friendship is something I never really thought about, there have been some good portrayals here and there, but this was the first fic that made me think about and crave that friendship between the three boys so much so that I wish this fic was longer so it could have explored this part more extensively.

One of the best things about the DHr faction of the HP fandom is that we have the best writers- no, listen to me, I’m very particular about my recs, very lit major about it, and I can honestly say that we have A+++ writers, for whom I thank not only God but also Jesus. Anyway, here are my favorite one-shots! 

Pre-/Post-Hogwarts:

books written for girls; “She stopped seeing flashes of green light when he kissed her. It was so poetic she wanted to write to her mother about it until she remembered that she couldn’t. He kissed her and now she was even more afraid of dying. It was the wrong thing to feel in the midst of a war with a growing body count.” | “"I can’t wait ‘til I tell my mum about you,“ she said in her sleep.” (@basicaquatics)

childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies; “But he remained silent. She was the wrong kind of magic, and therefore not for him. He walked away, and she didn’t tell him to come back, but he felt her eyes on his retreating figure as he disappeared around the corner.” (@kylorenvevo​)

this is how you lose her; “She is not beautiful in the way he’s been taught to crave, and she has a mouth that fluctuates between brown sugar and thorns. And also? The worst fucking part about it all? She is deaf to the way his heartbeats call her to stay.” (@basicaquatics)

permanent ink; “This is supposed to be a gift. This is supposed to be a culmination of what his magic and his conscience and his deepest, wildest dreams have determined that he needs to be whole—to be happy. And all it is—all she is—is another disaster. Another disappointment.” (@provocative-envy)

pure lunacy; (the original post has been deleted, but i think there’s a copy floating around somewhere. in the interest of respecting the author, i won’t post a link - still, i adore this) “Because I was scared. And it takes a lot for me to admit that, even now. I’d never been in love before, and it was overwhelming. It was consuming. I could barely look her in the eye afterwards because I was so afraid she’d see.” (xylitol)

the silly wars we waged; (i wrote this, and looking back, i low-key don’t hate it, so) “She bristles at his words, because what she tries to accomplish is something that comes naturally to him, the grasp of, a certain mastery at, caring less. His posture is a construct she wants to emulate, if only to win the title of who doesn’t give a damn about the other.”

Modern AU:

flickering, flickering; (low-key fave that i did, let me have this) “And the quirk of his mouth small, he thinks you could have my trust fund, babe, if only because you’d have to take me with it.” 

summer whatever; (on every rec list i’d produce tbh; envy is the golden standard of modern au dhr) “Draco sputters, a choked-off huff of frustration building at the base of this throat. His face is a bright, mortifying red, he fucking knows it. “Why would I—I wouldn’t toss you back,” he mutters, stuffing his hands in his cardigan pockets so she can’t see him fidget. “You’re. You know. Also a catch. Obviously.”” (@provocative-envy​)

the oppressive architecture of textile; (also mine but w/e) “( - it’s the fantasy of it, the almost wrongness of this rich pretty boy starring in her bleary-eyed strip shows in the middle of a crowded Starbucks, the ridiculous strangeness of her wanting to give it up to this particular person, right-wing and out of her league. It’s what does it).”
