Ship: Hermione x Draco x Neville Rated: E for smut No Archive Warnings Apply Updates Weekly

Summary: After a nasty break up Hermione feels ready to be a little more adventurous with her love life. But when she flirts with Draco Malfoy at a party and starts developing feelings for Neville Longbottom in the same week, she worries she might have gotten a little in over her head. Soon both men are vying for her attention and their rivalry leaves Hermione breathless. What's a girl to do?

On AO3: Chapter 6 Chapter 1

Excerpt Below

When the invitation to the International Magical Cooperation Gala arrived, Neville had been expecting it. Whenever the Ministry needed to show off in front of the other Wizarding communities, they always paraded out the war heroes. Neville was on the B team, back row to the Golden Trio of course, but invited all the same. But this event was going to be different than all of the ones before. Because Hermione would not be Ron’s date, Romilda would. He knew it would be a hard night for Hermione. He didn’t know how he could make it easier on her. She’d made it clear that babying her was not appreciated.

Neville sighed, tossing the glossy paper on to his counter. He walked across the small space to his living room. He lived in a tiny flat above his shop allowing him to always be nearby to take care of the plants. The downside was living in a place much too small for someone of his size. It also didn’t help that he’d filled much of the space with his personal plant collection. He had hanging pots with flutterby plants and squills as well as a potted fiddle leaf fig and monstera plants. He settled on the rug in front of his Floo, the leaves of the monstera pushing into his face, and called out Grimmauld place.

Harry’s boyish grin greeted him in the green glowing flames. “Hey Nev, what’s up?”

Neville pushed the monstera plant to the side, giving him room to sit. “Hey mate, have you looked through the post yet today?”

Harry shook his head. “Haven’t had the time. What came?”

“Gala invite,” he answered simply.

Harry nodded, understanding instantly. “How about you step on through? She wouldn't like us talking about this without her.”

Neville had already been down in the shop this morning, watering and pruning, so he was dressed in a deep red shirt and jeans, but he’d had no time to clean up before he’d Flooed. His nails had dirt under them and he knew he still smelled of vegetation. He supposed that was nothing new for him though, and walked through the open Floo.

Maybe she won’t go, he mused. Godric knew she deserved a reprieve. Hermione and Harry had been trotted out more than any of the rest of them. Avoiding more of that and Ron as well would be for the best.

As he stepped out he found the room empty. He assumed Harry had gone to grab the woman on both of their minds.

She walked down the stairs her tan, ankle length skirt swooshed with each step. She looked happy, calm. Possibly even glad to see him. He hated that he wasn’t here with better news.

“Hey Nev, what a nice surprise.”

He smiled back, but it must not have been very convincing. She narrowed her eyes. “What’s going on?”

Neither man responded.

Doubts and Presumptions Chapter 5 Out Now

Ship: Draco/Hermione/Neville E- for Smut No Archive Warnings 16 k so far Updates weekly Link: Doubts and Presumptions - Chapter 5 - So_scarlett_maroon - Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling [Archive of Our Own]

Excerpt:

As he stepped through the Floo, Draco heard the noise he’d come to expect anytime he was in his own home: his mother’s screams echoing along the halls.

He took a moment to locate her. From the noise level, she was clearly on the first floor and not too far off. But the house was stupidly large, so he cast hominid revelios and saw she was in the tea parlor. The sounds made his heart ache but he knew what this was. He would stay calm for her.

He entered the room and saw the spilled tea and shattered porcelain. She was under the table shaking, her velvet robes draped around her. She was no longer screaming, but instead sobbing deeply, her breath shuddering with each painful cry. He rushed to her side, pulling her out from the table and settling them both on the Persian rug. He wrapped her in his arms. “I’m here mum, you’re safe.”

“Lucius, we have to make him leave. He can’t stay here. He’s going to get us killed. We have to protect Draco.” As she spoke her voice grew louder and more panicked.

He stroked her hair and whispered calmly to her. “No Mum, I’m Draco and Dad is in Azkaban. We’re safe now. They’re both gone. It’s just you and me. Come back to me, Mum.” They sat there together for a long while, Draco holding her, whispering to her that she was safe and the Dark Lord was gone.

Slowly Narcissa came back to herself. Her breathing evened out and her eyes focused on Draco’s face. “I did it again,” she said simply.

Draco gave her frail form a gentle squeeze. “It's fine, Mum. Let me help you up.” It was too easy to lift her tiny frame and guide her to the nearby settee.

She’d been having these moments of panic and loss of lucidity for a few years. They’d ignored it at first, as talking about medical issues was unseemly. Besides, there had been other things going on at the time: trials, house raids and the like. But as things settled down and they had more time, Draco had insisted on bringing in Healers to cure her.

First, they’d ruled out all sorts of hexes, curses, and poisons. Then, they began to look at more mundane ailments. She didn’t have dementia or Parkinson's or any other diseases of the mind. Eventually, they gave up and It went back to being just Draco and Narcissa.

Title: I Wonder How You Touch Yourself

Rating: Explicit

Kink prompt: dirty talk || masturbation

Other Tags: polyamory || mild dub-con || voyuerism

Word Count: 2.4K

Summary:

“Look at him. Look how gorgeous he is, how close he is.”

Neville is close; Harry can tell from the heaving of his chest and the quickness of his movements. The tip of his cock is leaking now, and when he dips down to rub his sack, Nott does the same to Harry.

Harry keens with pleasure bordering on pain and thrashes helplessly beneath Nott’s weight.

They are both staring at Neville now, and Harry whispers, “Nott, I need to come— please.”

3zun data analysis part 2 electric boogaloo

So in my first post on 3zun data analysis I said I manually excluded all non-3zun ships in the 3zun tag to figure out how many of them were actually centered around 3zun.

So that's... actually not how i first went about that. Instead, I decided to, one after the other, include each 2-out-of-3zun ship, and then manually exclude every relationship not contained in 3zun. (leaving te other 2-out-of-3zun ships alone) Then, I'd figure out how many of these fics were exclusively tagged the ship I included, how many included only one of the other 2 ships, and how many included all 3, which would allow me to calculate how many 3zun fics in total had 2-out-of-3zun ships included but no other side pairings, which, upon being added to the otp:true fics, should give me the total number of 3zun fics exclusively focused on 3zun.

"Wow! That seems really inefficient" yes! But it did give me more information for this post. Because with these numbers, I can somewhat crudely estimate what 2-out-of-3zun pairing tends to get more narrative focus within 3zun fics.

Here are the results, data collected on march 18th 2024:

There are 196 3zun fics tagged with xiyao and no non-3zun relationships. Of these, 151 are also tagged nieyao, and 137 are tagged nielan.

Coincidentally, nieyao has the same number, also 196, 151 of wich are also tagged xiyao, but only 117 are tagged nielan.

Then there are 159 3zun fics tagged nielan with no non-3zun pairings, with 137 of them also being tagged xiyao and 117 nieyao. (I hope you've all noticed those numbers matching up!)

by the way, here are the raw stats in just the plain vanilla 3zun tag, no filters, for how many fics are tagged with the different ot2s.

Also, this has nothing to do with anything, but for nielan and xiyao i mostly had to filter out relatively normal side pairings, a few crossovers with mxtx's other works or different danmei, nothing too weird. But the nieyao tag had THIS

JESUS/JUDAS??? IN MY NIEYAO?? It's more likely than you think!!

Anyway, to the complicated numbers! Selecting for all 3 after excluding everything else gives you 112 fics.

With these numbers you can now calculate some really fun stuff. Taking the fics tagged with both xiyao and nieyao (151) and subtracting the fics tagging all 3 (112) you get the number of 3zun fics that are only tagged as xiyao and nieyao, excluding nielan. In this case: 39

"Couldn't you just exclude nielan on ao3" you have to understand I like doing things the hard way.

Doing this gives:

Fics tagged nieyao and xiyao but not nielan: 39

Fics tagged xiyao and nielan but not nieyao: 25

Fics tagged nieyao and nielan but not xiyao: 5

Generally tagging 2 ot2 pairings in an ot3 signals that either the relationship is a V and the excluded ship are not together, or that- even if they're a triad- the excluded ship doesn't feature in the narrative much. As you can see, xiyao is by far the least likely to be excluded here.

Now doing some more math (or, if you're normal, clicking a few extra times on ao3) will give you the fics exclusively tagged with one ot2 pairing besides 3zun. Generally that means that this relationship is the narrative focus, even if all of 3zun are together.

And these results actually surprised me.

Fics exclusively tagged xiyao: 196 - 112 - 39 - 25 = 20

Fics exclusively tagged nielan: 159 - 112- 25 - 5 = 17

Fics exclusively tagged nieyao: 196 - 112 - 39 - 5 = 40

I checked the answers by actually filtering on ao3 (making all my work redundant) and uh. Yeah. I had expected that, with xiyao being the least likely to be excluded, the most commonly tagged ship in 3zun overall, and simply the most popular ship, they'd be first here too.

And yet, not only does nieyao have more fics, it has more than nielan and xiyao combined. Despite having less fics in total than either of the other 2!

Out of interest, I repeated the experiment without manually excluding all the unrelated ships.

Basically, for each 2-out-of-3zun ship, I only filtered out the two other ships. This data will give us the same insight into narrative focus, just without excluding all other non 3zun rleated side pairings.

This time I just included one ship, and excluded the other 2-out-of-3zun ships. (the hard math comes later)

Doing this gives:

3zun fics only tagged xiyao: 45

3zun fics only tagged nielan: 33

3zun fics only tagged nieyao: 59

It's a less drastic difference, but nieyao still come out on top!!

What this means, I think, is that people with nieyao as their absolute favorite side of the triangle are a lot more likely to write 3zun fics than those for whom the same is true for nielan or xiyao.

That is to say: Someone who likes all 3zun pairings equally is more likely to write 3zun where the pairings all share narrative balance. And if you really really really love xiyao, and think nieyao and nielan are pretty ok but you don't go crazy over them, you're a lot more likely to just write a solo xiyao fic than you are a xiyao-focused 3zun fic. Idem ditto for nielan. But if nieyao is your absolute fave, you wanna put those guys in a throuple anyway.

What I'm saying is I think nieyaoists are the subfandom of triangular desire. Which... *looks at my own mutuals*... is the least surprising thing i've ever said.

Anyway! I didn't stop there! I wanted to see which pairings were more likely to get tagged together again. I also decided to make things even harder for myself!

Instead of filtering one ship at a time and seeing how many of each of the others were tagged alongside it, like i did last time, I only gave myself a few figures to calculate it manually: The overall number of tags each had in the 3zun tag (348, 328, and 284, as pictured above) the afformentioned data about exclusively tagged fics, and the number of fics tagged with all three 2-out-of-3zun ships (175)

Rather than a simple subtraction, I had to... Well i'm just gonna let y'all look at my notes app. I wanna stress that i could have looked all of this up in minutes and in fact did later to check my answers! No time was saved! A lot was wasted!

But I like number so 👉👈

Tldr:

Fics tagged xiyao and nieyao but not nielan: 73

Fics tagged xiyao and nielan but not nieyao: 55

Fics tagged nieyao and nielan but not xiyao: 21

Once again, similar but slightly less drastic results.

With this I can only come to one conclusion: the fandom likes to joke about 3zun being a love triangle with xichen in the middle. But looking at these numbers? The real center is jiggy. Everything revolves around a-yao, baby!.

#as it should!! #to be clear that last line is a joke and NOT nielan slander! as you can see 3zun is overwhelmingly written about in triad form #fics were all 3 are tagged outnumber all the exclusively tagged and only 2 out of 3 tagged' categories #not to mention the fics that don't need to tag any other pairings because the ot3 ship tag says enough #mdzs #nie mingjue #meng yao #jin guangyao #lan xichen #xiyao #nieyao #nielan #3zun #long post #fandom research #fandom statistics #of course as any seasoned reader knows sometimes tags do NOT indicate actual narrative focus. #meaning this study is inherently imperfect. but the only way to get better data is to actually read all those 1K+ fics and well. #that's gonna take a bit longer #working on it though #i hope this post shows everyone my true energy: brian david gilbert at the end of an unraveled video
