> Hermione has not been lucky in love. When a break-up forces her to find a new flat, she thinks she's hit the jackpot. Until she realises that she might just be falling for her new flatmate's boyfriend. Perhaps when Ginny lends her some of her steamy romance novels, her luck will change.

Granger,

Looks like you had a rough day. Hope you’ll eat something to soak up all the wine.

Pansy

P.S. Men are rubbish.  

this was honestly so refreshing and light. kind of touches on a couple of things and maybe you could say pansy or luna are ooc but i dont care, its subjective. it starts in a weird place with draco where they’re kind of all over everything that happened in the war so keep in mind that this is a bit crack-y. i liked it though. 6/10, fun but i didn’t finish it.

GRACEFUL BISCUITS DISCORD

Oh hello there! I am back from my week off refreshed and ready to dive back in!

What better way than by launching a Discord server?? @graceful-lioness and I are starting our own server - since our readers tend to overlap and we, ourselves, work together all the time, we figured, why not?

Hop on over to chat with us about our fics or anything, really!

Join here!

Yesterday, I hopped over a little milestone and I am so excited!

750 of you have decided that I am someone worth following. Perhaps because we’re buddies, maybe because you read my fics or like what I reblog, or maybe in a ill-gotten scheme to get me to follow you back which may or may not have worked. Whatever the reason, I’m so glad you’re all here! Thank you for hitting that “follow” button!

Let’s celebrate!!

As a special treat, I’ll be writing a oneshot to celebrate 750! But YOU get to decide what I write! Leave me an ask to let me know if you want...

A new oneshot based on one of my many plunnies. (Probably very smutty and/or fluffy)

A oneshot in the world of one of my completed multi-chapter fics. Please specify what fic you’d like it to be from (Resistance, Dragon in the Dark, or Bad Books and Second Looks).

Something else entirely! Let me know in the ask!

Again! Thank you all for being here!

Happy Birthday, GracefulLioness!

In the Face of Fire and accompanying artwork

Draco discovers Hermione in the wardrobe.

And he is never going to let her go.

Read Graceful's favorite scene from Dragon in the Dark from Hermione's perspective in the short little piece I concocted for her birthday here, on AO3.

Read the original, Dragon in the Dark, here.

Chapter 7 Posted!  They walked for several minutes, stopping occasionally so that Granger could window shop a bit. Each time Draco caught a glimpse of their reflection in a window, he was struck by how convincing they were as a couple. She was smiling and seemed perfectly at ease on his arm and for just a moment, he thought about what she might be like on a real date. 

He let himself imagine what his life would be like if the war had ended—or rather, if the war had never happened. Perhaps he would be here on a proper date—not with Granger, obviously, but with some beautiful, eligible witch. Maybe he would shop in Diagon Alley with his date and then take her back to the Manor for tea with his parents. His heart twisted painfully at the thought of such an idyllic life that he would never have.  AO3 FFN

Dragon in the Dark Ch 9

Surprise early update! 

“G-good of you to vis-visit me, P-Potter,” Draco stammered bitterly. “Not many people have. Not even G-Granger, and she’s sup-supposedly one of my Healers.” He stared at his fingers, trying desperately to move them. “I g-guess she figured she was r-r-rid of me once and for all.” AO3 FFN

Chapter 5 posted! “What exactly was your job with the Death Eaters?” she blurted out. He blinked. She had never asked him so bluntly before. He could imagine that her brain had been working double over the past few hours to try to figure it out. And he couldn’t blame her. She’d seen his skills… or at least some of them.    “Need-to-know,” he said simply, knowing it wouldn’t be good enough. “I need to know,” she returned, her eyes almost pleading. AO3 FFN

Y’all... I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve 500 such amazing followers, and yet here you are!! I am absolutely over the moon that so many of you have enough interest in me or my fics to be here.

As a treat, my next post will tease my upcoming Dramione fic, which will be much lighter and far less angsty than Dragon in the Dark is. I’m really excited about this fic, y’all. So stay tuned for the title, cover art, summary, and a brief teaser snippet later today!

Thank you all for being here! 💖💖💖
