Did I just spend a ridiculous amount of time looking for the ~*perfect*~ photo of a man and woman walking with their backs to the camera? Did I come up empty-handed? Mhmm… Turns out finding a Curly-Haired Do-Gooder walking ‘platonically’ through Britain’s moorlands with a Blonde Nuisance of an Auror is too specific of an ask for Pinterest. Is this Draco & Hermione wearing 19th Century clothing instead? (No, you are absolutely mistaken, how dare you.) Did you see the adorable little Bambi?!

Got the warm and fuzzies from spending my Sunday evening re-reading chapters of Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love. Am I going to make a series of collages for this fic? Maybe?? Chapter 26’s ending you guys. *CHEFS KISS*

Then she caught his eye and smiled at him. The Great Wall of Quashing was obliterated. Something vast and nameless swelled in his heart.

HAPPY HEARTS DAY TO ALL!

(hi-res here.)

Those collages are so pretty, I love them! Also saving for the recs and to make everyone look at those wonderful art pieces :)

Dramione Fics I Loved in 2021

So grateful for the many fanfic authors who freely share their talent with us. I always find myself coming up short with the words to express my love for them and their stories since I don’t quite have a way with words like they do… But I do, however, have some f l a i r for the arts. So for this holiday break, I gave myself the challenge of creating a little digital collage as a thank you for a few of the stories I read this year that have really stuck with me. Here ya go guys!

*Best viewed via the tumblr dashboard/your phone (bc from my actual page via a desktop, the quality seems to have gone down and I’m not well-versed with tumblr enough to know why).

A Well-Behaved Woman, @femmeecrivain​

Astoria Greengrass can’t remember a time when she didn’t know she would one day be a Malfoy. Not even a war can get in the way of that goal—but her fiancé’s feelings for Hermione Granger just might. On the evening of her engagement ball, Astoria’s world is rocked to its foundations and she finds herself facing some difficult decisions. But if there’s one thing she’s learned from Hermione (and Draco) it’s that well-behaved women rarely make history. And sometimes the drastic choice is the only one to make.

Beautifully written, beautifully told. I always appreciate stories that feature Astoria (or Ron) as someone with compassion and understanding, instead of always being made out to be a simpering and/or evil bitch. I was cheering for them all at the end!

An Apparition Condition, ChaosAndCrumpets (@chaoticcrumpets)

Every time Hermione Granger is in close proximity to Draco Malfoy, she is seized by a sudden urge to flee his presence. What on earth could be the reason for that?

Not a love triangle despite where my collage ended up… but they do “vie” for Hermione’s support on something stupidly hilarious. Poor Harry. The author was a new discovery for me this year and I’ve enjoyed so many other stories of theirs: Draco Malfoy’s Halfway House for Wayward Hens (first one I ever read!), Commonalities of the Coldest Kind, Choice and Chance, among a few others. All are HILARIOUS!!

Anchors in a Storm, @inadaze22

Draco’s current mistake—well, it wasn’t simply one, but three—was a chain of seemingly unconnected events that, when spliced together just so, made one hell of a shit storm.

Loved the storytelling of the literal shit storm they went through. The author took me on an Adventure and I didn’t even notice that nine chapters flew by! Draco is an Idiot. Ha! (Also really recommend The Art of Seating Etiquette, which I read earlier in the year.)

Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love, isthisselfcare

Hermione straddles the magical and non-magical worlds as a medical researcher and Healer about to make a Big Discovery. Draco is an Auror assigned to protect her from forces unknown – to both of their displeasure. Features hypercompetent, fiery Hermione and lazy, yet dangerous, Draco. Slow burn.

My current absolute fav. Thank you to @mightbewriting (whose Wait & Hope series you should be reading!) for recommending this on her tumblr several weeks ago. This is simply top-notch! And THE BANTER (!!) IN THIS IS TOP-NOTCH. I really, really cannot express enough words to tell you how amazing and hilarious this story is. You WILL get butterflies! And squeal and smile in your room like the Dramione idiot that you are. I love this story so much that I couldn’t stop at just one collage, and so did a second inspired by the latest chapter.

Falling Dark, @scullymurphy

It’s a year after Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy parted in Italy with promises of love and fidelity. The Battle of Hogwarts is over and Voldemort is dead. And although the price paid was high, Hermione is ready to start the rest of her life, and her eighth year studies, with Draco by her side. No hiding and no shame. But when Draco finally arrives at Hogwarts, it’s obvious that things are very wrong. Why is he acting so strangely? 

If Bending Light was the warm, lazy Italian summer, this is the dark, brooding Scottish winter. Dress warmly.

Another fav author, one who’s inspired me several times before to create. And this year, she did the unthinkable and had me rooting for someone other than Draco. I’ve been reading Dramione for close to two decades now (the only ship I typically read) and never has an “other” snuck up on me and taken hold like this. Color me shocked with a side of existential crisis to boot. Kidding… mostly. The latest chapter has me ready for Draco’s comeback tho!! (This is the sequel to Bending Light, another fav, which you MUST read as well!!)

In Search of Sunrise, In_Dreams (@indreamsink)

Unable and unwilling to walk away from a dare, Hermione is forced to stay up all night with Draco Malfoy. Sometimes, one night is enough to begin to understand a person.

I read this again yesterday to help me get inspired and I’m happy to report that the story still holds. This Draco is super endearing! A great fic if you’re looking for a new beginnings story for our fav duo. And speaking of an endearing!Draco, the author’s entry to last year’s @dhr-advent, Hazy, is one of my favs and I feel like it deserves so much more love and attention! Also highly recommend Chronos Historia for anyone who’s a sucker for a time travel fic.

Love and Other Historical Accidents, @pacific-rimbaud

Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy never intended to blow up their life’s work, but that’s rather what they’ve gone and done. Now they’re trapped 200 years in the past, with a broken Time Turner, a missing snuff box, a handful of overly-eligible daughters, and a House-elf in a cable knit cardigan. It will require the combined power of their keen intellects to get them home, if they’d stop arguing long enough to use them. For fans of Harry Potter, Jane Austen, and Connie Willis, a historical romantic comedy all about time, and getting the hell out of it.

Speaking of time travel, this is one of my favs! Now complete! Congrats to Pac for completing this story recently; I got into this late last year, but have been cackling at 3am with their shenanigans ever since. A funny story about this collage is that I actually meant to make one a year ago during the 2020 holiday break, but couldn’t for the life of me create one that felt “right”. (I’ve got LAOHA.psd, LAOHA 2.psd, and September’s LAOHA 3.psd in my laptop for proof!) I’m so happy these two Idiots have finally ‘caught up’ with each other and got on the same page!

To Seek the Light of Truth, @sparrow-ink

A retelling of the myth of Eros & Psyche.

An ancient artifact awakens in Magical Britain. Drama ensues. Hermione Granger doesn’t have time for rubbish like having her marriage arranged by a semi-sentient cup, only it seems she doesn’t have much choice in the matter. How is she supposed to help replenish the population of magical Britain when she doesn’t even know her husband’s name, and she’s never seen his face? And is she actually falling in love with someone who might as well be a ghost? Of course not. That would be ridiculous.

Herein contains: a library as a bribe (a bribrary, if you will), too much tea drinking, and more nonsense than you can shake a wand at. Enjoy!

And lastly, this little WIP that I’m hoping isn’t abandoned! I’m normally not one for Marriage Law fics, or anything similar which this one is, but I was pleasantly surprised by this story so far. It may or may not have been the bribrary (read: library as a bribe) that got me…?! I can’t wait to see how their relationship progresses and their reaction when everything is revealed!

***

That’s it! THANK YOU once again to all the Dramione authors who’ve shared such amazing stories out there, I couldn’t possibly list all. (This pandemic would’ve been a lot worse without your stories!) I hope you all like what I’ve made; consider these my little token of appreciation for all the enjoyment you’ve given me. <3

And Happy New Year, Dramione fandom! My shipper heart is SO full with the Return to Hogwarts special, and I can’t wait to see what the fandom does with all the accidental Dramione (Feltson!) content that Tom Felton and Emma Watson have gifted us this year. ;)

Feel free to share/reblog (and send to any of the authors who may not be here on tumblr), I only ask that you mention my name in the credits. Lmk if you’d like a hi-res copy. :) Also tagging @dramioneasks and @dramioneficrecommendations for fic sharing!

White Snow Covers Old Sins

Excerpt:

The night was quiet. An endless black sky behind shadowed black stone walls that all collided with the stark white ground. There wasn’t a wisp of wind to be heard or felt, the only movement that betrayed the illusion of a muggle photograph was the softly falling snow.

Tiny clusters of delicately threaded lace snowflakes drifted down from the sky, gravity their only companion. Bringing them back home after their journey of nucleation, lost in the sea of white, recycled tabula rasa.

….

“It’s nearly midnight, Granger.”

Hermione nodded, smiling and looking up at the fir boughs, heavy with snow and glowing gold with the flicker of the flame enclosed in the lanterns. The night was mute again, all sound absorbed by the soft snowfall save for their breathing.

“They’re beautiful,” she said quietly.
