Hiiiii. Can you please recommend some completed Dramione fanfics on AO3 for me?

Hi! Sure, I'll probably make a master list of my favourites at some point. My bookmarks on AO3 include stories I've loved so dearly I can't bear to lose them.

But here are a few recent reads that I think could use more love (I read almost exclusively short stories and one shots, if you're looking for longer fics there are a few in my bookmarks):

Variations on Intimacy by @icepower55 | 2nd POV, Muggle AU, real and raw

The Watergaw by @smokybaltic, art by @ectoheart | angsty, war fic, slow burn, beautifully written

Meet Me Halfway by OneAristoCat | no Voldemort AU, Draco's an ass but has it bad for Hermione (I'm a sucker for a mean Draco), sizzling smut

Oblivious to the Rose by @dirty-mudblood | this one's rightfully popular but I love it so much I had to include it, possibly my favourite one shot ever. Jealous Hermione (like really, really jealous), well written, fluffy af!

Happy reading! 🖤

Please tell me about this Leonardo Di Vinci fic 👀👀

Oh yes, the Leonardo one! So this is supposed to be a Dramione c. 1500 at the court of the Sforza in Milan. It’s been sitting in my WIP folder for ages for various reasons, even though I had planned to post it last year in time for the anniversary of his death. Maybe it’s time to get back to it! Thanks for asking about it! 🥰💕

It was an oddity of their time that it was women who were accused of witchcraft. On the one hand, Hermione found this utterly idiotic. That supernatural powers should belong to any one gender defied all logic. On the other hand, the fact that the connections between the supernatural and her gender ran so deep that men went through incredible lengths to restore a power balance that, as a general rule, favoured them, women, was a source of great satisfaction to her.

The potential to throw the natural order things into disarray was magical in and of itself.

‘You must never wield control, my dear. Never get pregnant. Let me tell you, Hermione.’ Her lady, Isabella Sforza, said while gesturing elegantly with a beringed hand. ‘Pregnancy will be the end of any semblance of power we have secured for ourselves. However much he begs, however good he is in bed, never let him give a position of power over you.’

Hermione didn't take her eyes from the recipe against monthly cramps she had just penned down. It was complicated enough as it was, and then she had to be particularly careful to write it according to their code.

‘I wouldn't dream of it, my lady.’ Hermione completed the sentence with a flourish and placed the quill back in the holder. She fished her wand out of her sleeve and, muttering under her breath, waved it over the parchment. Its surface, covered in her tiny spikey handwriting, immediately cleared.

‘Remember what the poets tell us. The most dangerous of all the powers is love.’

‘I’m certainly not in any danger of that.’ Hermione knew very well that, generally speaking, love was a game one had to take part in. Receiving sonnets by an adoring prince, being serenaded by the knights, having songs composed about your beauty and grace, it was all a ploy, a make-believe, to make women think they had power over men.

‘Love for a child can be dangerous as well. It will corrupt your will, your sense of self.’

‘You can be relieved, my lady. I am even in far less danger of loving a child.’

‘But your husband is still eager to have an heir?’

‘He is eager enough,’ Hermione said, smiling secretly. ‘It is a shame that he tends to fall asleep, despite his excitement.’

‘Be careful my dear, lest he grow suspicious.’

Hermione snorted lightly. ‘I doubt he realises it. He has barely any idea of how to get a woman pregnant. Last week, he made me look at a painting of Adonis in my cassone for almost an hour before we did it. Yesterday, he covered his head with a cap, so his essence would be hot, and it would make for a male heir.’

Her lady played with one of the many gold rings on her hand. They were beautifully crafted. One was even a true goldsmith work from a master in Nuremberg. ‘He has that in common with most of his gender. Still, assuming that a fool couldn't do you any harm would make a fool out of you…’

Hermione considered her lady. She was hardly thirty years old, yet she had all the wisdom of a modern woman* with real power and influence.

Ruling a state was something Hermione could only dream of. Advising the powerful, however, was the next best thing, and, on closer inspection, possibly even preferable.

Oblivious to the Rose by dirtymudblood

Every Friday is theirs and theirs alone. But they’re not dating. Really, they’re not. They’re not. So it shouldn’t matter if he misses a Friday for a date. Right? Right.

James Potter, Severus Snape, and Hagrid for the HP questions ❤️

Hagrid: If you could breed two totally different animals together, what new animal would you create? 

Hm... this is tricky! I’m not one to tinker with nature, but if could magically combine the vibe of two animals, I’d totally merge a Kea with a Labrador. You know, all the chaotic energy of a parrot that slides down snowy hills for fun, and the dopey, cuddly adorableness of a creature that’s eternally childlike.

James Potter: If you were reincarnated as an animal/drink/ice cream flavor, what would it be? 

I’d probably be an Old Fashioned? Tastes bitter at first, but grows on you with each sip, until it’s developed a rich and nuanced flavour you sort of crave. Or a green tea maybe. Needs a super specific temperature to develop its optimum taste. I dunno. This is so complicated 😂

Severus Snape: Of all your pet-peeves, which is the strangest?  

My preferance for primenumbers has made me despise my even-numbered ages. Loved 29, hated 30, but 31 was great!

In conclusion: I am incredibly weird. I’m so sorry 😅

I mean, that collaboration didn’t blow me away. DON’T GET ME WRONG. It was great! Then again.....Beyoncé and Nicki could release a track of them peeing and I would be like YES BITCH!!! SLAY!!!!!
