I was not happy with Draco's insistence that I rest. But I guess he was right. I needed it.
*Deep breath*
I was kicked out of my apartment at the end of June and told he wanted a divorce. We fought plenty but it honestly came out of nowhere and I've been having a difficult time coping. And for obvious reasons, reading and writing (or watching in some cases) anything with any sort of romance has been painful. So this story fell to the back burner for a bit.
But I'm trying to get back into some sort of routine now that it's been about a month since my D-Day (what my therapist has been calling it). Which does include writing. This is still my comfort fic even though I now realize I'm still missing my Draco.
I'm going to be updating Chapter 3 sometime today with final edits. I also have a bunch of scenes I've written for this AU that don't fit into the narrative I'd like to eventually post as well as some deleted scenes that just didn't work in the final draft. And some of these extra scenes were inspired by comments I've received.
The usual disclaimers:
WARNINGS for CURRENT chapter: minor Dom/sub overtones (Draco is right. This one is entirely his fault); conversations about canon violence and assault
WARNINGS for FUTURE chapters: medical procedures, inappropriate flirting, a lot of sexual innuendoes, cursing, non-sexual dom/sub dynamics, consensual disciplinary spanking, discussions of religion, general dark discussions of war but no graphic depictions (mostly)
Other reminders:
-Chapter titles are Taylor Swift lyrics. -Please point out any mistakes or brit-picking if you so desire. I am happy to fix mistakes I miss. And I will shout you out if you notice something 😬 -I am happy to receive fan art or collaborate with others but I WILL NOT PAY FOR ART, WRITING, OR RECORDINGS inspired by my work, as it's illegal. Solicitors will be reported and blocked -Some of the references Draco and Hermione make may not fit the context/time period/cultural background. But this is fiction so just suspend your belief.
Yes, Draco. People are commenting on my stories, offering to illustrate for a small fee. It's getting pretty old.
Please send kudos or comments and all the typical fanfiction stuff. I live for them the same way Tinker Bell lives for applause.
Tinkerbell isn't a *thing*, Draco. She's a fairy. Not like what you're used to. Ask Hermione to show you the Disney movie Peter Pan. Then you'll understand the reference.
One last thing I wanted to add is to all of the people who did leave comments on the last chapter, I appreciate it more than you know. They came during a very difficult time in my life. So thank you.
