& endure

Tough characters with heart are it for me. I get way too invested in them, cry, repeat. Hyperfixating on fandoms since I can remember*

Measure Of A Man by inadaze22 - E, 42 chapters, Words: 590,655 - To truly know someone is to differentiate between who they once were, who they are now, and who they’re capable of being. Hermione realises the duality of one man as she rectifies what she knows of the past and begins to understand the pieces of who Draco Malfoy is now: a father, a son, and a man.

Season Pass (To This Ass) by mightbewriting - E, 6 chapters, Words: 16,390 - “What do you mean you didn’t get me a ticket?”Ron’s hand flew to the back of his neck, massaging a red splotch just above his collar, flushing out his freckles. “I mean, I—well, it’s not like you enjoy Quidditch all that much.”“I went to every match you or Harry played in at school.”“Quidditch is my hobby, not yours.” [In which Hermione dumps a Quidditch fan and dates a Quidditch player instead. Spite is a beautiful motivator.]

A Season For Setting Fires by mightbewriting - E, 31 chapters, Words: 95,640 - Torture smells like spring.Like daffodils and tulips and snowdrops. Like the bouquets brought inside from the manor gardens to lend their life to cold stone walls that house criminals. Easter mixed with madness makes sense in this twisted landscape; Draco’s only chance at survival is to endure it. He knows this. But that doesn’t quell the twitching in his calves, the flexing in his fingers.Granger lifts her hand off the floor and Draco nearly loses his lunch, stomach churning as he watches her extend her arm, reaching through the translucent cord, reaching towards him. He tries to blink it away, blink blink blink, but both she and the cord are stubborn, persistent things. [In which a soulmate bond appears while Hermione is tortured at Malfoy Manor. Canon divergent from that moment onward.]

Anthology by senlinyu - M - Assorted prompted ficlets of varying lengths. All Dramione. Ratings and any relevant warnings are listed in the chapter summary of the particular ficlet.

for the best by HawthorneWhisperer - M, 19 chapters, Words: 49,105 - She wore that Granger expression, the one that said she was going to bully someone into something. Draco had a bad feeling it was about to be him. “I’ll marry you,” Hermione said. “Don’t be ridiculous.” “I’m not doing it for free. I marry you, then after a year we divorce and you agree to fund S.P.E.A.M.B. In perpetuity.” “Out of the question.” “It’s just one year. We would both get what we want.” “Contracted marriages require consummation,” he said, adding a leer for good measure. Granger had gotten more attractive since their Hogwarts days, he would give her that much. Her jumper was atrocious, though. He had half a mind to burn it. To his everlasting shock, she merely shrugged. “It’s just sex. I’ve had it before and I presume you have too.” She was utterly serious. Draco stared at her and contemplated being married to her. She was irritating and he might make her promise to never wear that jumper again, but it was better than the alternative. Draco would do just about anything to avoid being poor. “You’re serious?” “Completely.” “Then congratulations, Granger. You’ve got yourself a husband.”

Drabble: “I wouldn’t mind if you ruined my life, Granger.”

“Quit following me, Malfoy.”

Hermione walked to the back wall of the Manor’s library. She heard the door close behind her and presumed that Malfoy hadn’t listened to her demand. 

“Why did you run away from the party?”

She had - quite literally - run from the room, but after what she’d overheard, she was no longer in the mood to be surrounded by any more of Lucius Malfoy’s cronies. 

“According to your father, I’m just some silly girl out to ruin your life.”

She turned to see him strolling towards her. Even in her angered state, she couldn’t help but admire how good he looked in his suit. Bespoke and fit to the black tie occasion, he’d garnered stares from nearly every woman he passed tonight. It was the same at every party his parents threw. He was always the star.

Malfoy didn’t stop walking until he had her back pinned to the wall of books behind her. 

“I wouldn’t mind if you ruined my life, Granger.”

This wasn’t the reaction she had expected. She searched his eyes for their usual twinge of mockery, but it was absent. On the contrary, his look was pleading, silently asking her to understand the position he was in.

Pitted between his father and his secret girlfriend must be a tough spot. 

“I’m not in the business of converting ex-Death Eaters to the good side, but you might want to go let your father know that. He seems concerned.”

Malfoy sighed, running a hand through his neatly styled hair. He started to pace in front of her.

“Look, I don’t know what you heard but -”

“I’ll tell you exactly what I heard. I heard Lucius telling you to start distancing yourself from me. ‘She’s bad for your image’. Something along those lines, if I remember correctly.”

He stopped his stride and began to remove the cufflinks of his shirt. 

“I’m begging you to understand. From my father’s perspective, you and I are not supposed to be together - you go against everything my family believes in. To be associated with you romantically would completely ruin me and everything I’ve worked so hard to build -”

“Don’t you think I know that? Don’t you think I’m reminded of that at every. single. one. of these parties I attend?” She wanted to yell it, scream at the top of her lungs how much those truths hurt to hear, but she despised the thought of any more Malfoys listening in to this conversation. 

He shook his head, clearly frustrated at the direction their conversation was headed.

“You didn’t let me finish. Those are his opinions, Granger, not mine. I couldn’t give a damn about any of those things -”

He reached to touch her face, grazing his hand across her cheek. Without thinking, she leaned her head into his palm, habitually, her eyes closed. She wanted to believe that what he was telling her was true.

“I want to be ruined by you.”

His voice was music to her ears, but his words were music to her heart.

“I’m done trying to be someone my parents want me to be. I’m not that person. I’ll - I’ll burn every bridge I’ve built if it means that you’ll be with me.” He let his finger slide lazily against her skin. She reveled in his touch. “Ruin me. If it means you’ll belong to me, I’ll destroy every part of my life that doesn’t accept you in it.”

She could feel his suspense as he waited to hear her thoughts, but she kept her eyes closed. Could it be that the future that she’d wanted for so long was finally achievable? It felt as though, if she were to open her eyes, reality would come and force their love back into hiding.

“Hermione.”

The use of her given name caused her to meet his gaze. If looks could burn, she would have been an inferno. 

“Please, tell me what you’re thinking. I’m begging you.” He removed his hand from her cheek and found her arm. He brought her hand to his lips, placing chaste kisses along the tender skin of her wrist.

“It’s become exhausting,” she said. 

“What has?” he asked between kisses.

“Pretending to hate you.”

Draco paused for what felt like an eternity. Hermione felt the weight of the moment - like the fate of their relationship hung in the balance of his next words.

“Then let’s stop pretending.”

She let out a sigh she hadn’t realized she’d been holding in.

“You’re serious? You’re willing to risk - everything?”

He grabbed her hand, pulling her into him. His hold felt sure and strong, like no matter what they were about to face, they would face it together.

“It’s time we let everyone know that you’re mine.”

Do you think this was Levi's first snow?

Or is he awed by the first fluttering glimpse of it every single winter?

[cosmicjoke-deactivated20250918]

I think Levi is the type of person to never really take for granted the things that make life really worth living.  Because he grew up in such awful deprivation, and yet he still values life so much.  It’s just the type of person he is.

[official-lucifers-child]

people will say they aren’t attractive and then go create art and then go write beautiful poetry and then go bake a cake for a friend and then go spread positivity and then go write a novel and then continue to say they aren’t attractive, as if everything they do doesn’t count or doesn’t matter, as if societal expectations somehow decide their worth and fate.

Anyone else love book tropes? Especially the ones that go:

“Break my heart. Break it a thousand times if you like. It was only ever yours to break anyway. I’ll love you until my very last breath. Every beat of my heart is yours. I don’t want to die without you knowing that”

Yeah me too. Makes me feel extra lonely.
