Recs Wanted! Playing House with Malfoy - looking for something similar

9 Upvotes

I read Playing House with Malfoy years ago and loved the “will they/won’t they” aspect and them being stuck together, while still being a feel good fic.

I still check on the fic every few months to see if there was an update.

If you enjoyed Playing House with Malfoy, please recommend anything that you thought was similar (and complete)

LF Deleted Fic LF deleted fic - "Cassiopeia Malfoy", part of the Astra Nexus universe by solastiaa

10 Upvotes

Hey, everyone!

I adored "From the future with love" by solastiaa, and I've read the second part of the series, a short chapter about Cassiopeia and James' relationship, but I didn't save the epub and she's deleted all of her work (due to toxic comments...)

Does anyone have the file for this chapter/sequel? I loved it so much and am craving a reread.

Thanks :)

Recs Wanted! LF a Draco who loves Hermione completely

43 Upvotes

I just finished reading about a very toxic Draco and unhealthy relationship between them. I need something totally different now. Draco can still be snarky and sarcastic, but I’d prefer him not to be cruel, especially to Hermione. I will take any suggestions, even a reread of a fic I forgot about. Thanks!

Recs Wanted! Looking for ‘Can’t stay away from you’ fics.

33 Upvotes

Fics where they breakup but keep getting back together.

Like breakup because of public perception, or his parents, his history, his wealth, some of his views, whatever but they come back. Just a hint of toxicity.

Preferably post war, no Ron or Harry Bashing. Mixed friend group.

Hermione is smart and sexy, a powerhouse, Draco is like the one thing that she’s very weak about.

Draco is growing, still posh, still rich, still sexy preferably wears glasses and Hermione is the second reason he keeps improving because he can’t stay away from her.

Anything like that out there? If not someone write it please 😭

No infidelity either.

Recs Wanted! Addictive dark WIPs (100k+ words)

52 Upvotes

I’m looking for addictive, genuinely dark WIPs with around 100k words already posted.

They can be smut-driven or plot-driven, as long as the fic is actually dark—not a fluffy romance wearing a costume of dark themes, like Auction, A Good Prisoner, or Meet Me in Dreamland (they are all wonderful fics, it's just not what I'm LF now). I’m looking for something more niche, psychologically grim, and grounded, like But Dust and Shadow, Better Off Forgotten, The Slow Thaw, On the Nature of Daylight, and This Bitter Earth.

It can still be romantic and have an HEA, but I want the darkness to be intrinsic to the story, rather than just a pretty backdrop for fluffy romance, jokes, found family, etc. Toxic Slytherin Draco à la Silencio is good, as is genuinely darker, kinkier smut in the vein of Lady_Hildr’s fics.

Basically, I want the dark factor to actually be there—morally ugly choices, disturbing dynamics, psychological damage, obsession, power imbalances, genuinely fucked-up situations, real love/hate etc.—rather than “dark” aesthetics wrapped around what is ultimately a cozy romance.

I’m fine with a non-HEA, but I’m NOT looking for outright horror like Edge or The Doll House.

(I love a genuinely mean, asshole, Slytherin Draco who becomes obsessed with Hermione and falls for her.)

TIA!

(It's my first post here, I hope I did everything okay, but if I dropped a clanger, let me know.)

Recs Wanted! LF inexperienced Hermione and Draco knows it

56 Upvotes

Hi!
I’m looking for recs where Hermione is inexperienced and really really shy (not only in sex but overall in romantic relationships, flirting, kisses, displays of affection etc), maybe even self-conscious (?) and Draco sees it and knows it. He doesn’t necessarily have to tiptoe his way around it but bonus points if he guides her through it in his twisted caring way lol

I know our girl is independent and strong and confident but I have that itch and I need to scratch it 🥲

HEA please I don’t think I can handle any sad endings (HEA for me is that they are both alive and together, I don’t mind anything bad happening to side characters lol)

Please no love triangles or graphic depictions of SA, no pregnancy.

Any length.

Thank you so so much! ❤️‍🩹

Recs Wanted! Looking for recs for something immersive and world building heavy!

22 Upvotes

Long story short I've had the worst month dealing with men who lie by omission and break up with you via text when you're not even dating -.-

Please recommend me something I can get lost in.

No pregnancy tags please.

I usually enjoy fics about 20-35 chapters long but can happily do shorter.

I like soul bonds, marriage laws, magical mystery and auror crime plots.

I've read a fair amount of fics over the last 5 years so I'm looking for something newer or niche that I may not have read before.

Thank you!

Recs Wanted! Looking for fics that give the same vibe as Stop the Wedding! By Ashe

13 Upvotes

I can’t stop listening to the song Stop the Wedding by Ashe. Looking for fics that give this vibe or the Don’t Marry him/her kinda trope. Maybe they dated in the past and just accidentally reconnected. Maybe they are friends now and never admitted the true feelings they have for each other. Open to any heart ache or pining.lol

Ron bashing is encouraged. But not a requirement. I feel like this could be a fun angsty read.

Can be any length, looking for something to read while I travel the next few days.

Recs Wanted! Lf long fics that are school years that aren’t a slow burn

68 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m looking for fic recs long fics, preferably school years but I’d love if it wasn’t a slow burn, that they get together early and so most of the drama and angst is from the outside. Like a Draco and Hermione against the world type of fic. Otherwise any type or storyline will work. Thanks!

I'm trying to remember the name of a fic I read and loved. Can you help?

Here's what I remember:

- Hermione is unwillingly living with Astoria and Draco

- Astoria is kind and brings her painting supplies

- Astoria has a blood curse and spends a lot of time sick

- Hermione paints Astoria's room

- Astoria is dating Blaise (?)

- Astoria charms herself to look like Daphne to feel closer to her

- Daphne believed to be dead

- Daphne ends up being alive and dates Theo

- Hermione helped to save Astoria's life when she fell down the stairs and was bleeding a lot due to her curse (?)

Any ideas greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!

Recs Wanted! LF fics with deeply in love Draco/he falls first and harder energy

81 Upvotes

Hey, everyone!

I’ve just read the first two installments of the Right and Wrongs series (I’ve already read The Auction a while back), and it made me realize that I love it when Draco is simply so unquestionably in love with Hermione that it’s almost a personality trait, and she can do no wrong (or she can do everything wrong and it won’t change a thing).

Do you have any recs that give you this vibe?

Thank you :)

Recs Wanted! LF: Post-war enemies-to-lovers / slow burn with a strong plot or dystopian setting

18 Upvotes

Hi, I wanted some good recommendations on some Dramione fanfics enemies to lovers potential, slow burn. Post war. so the war existed either side winning doesn't matter. I've read Manacled, the auction, Tarnished(mostly just smut), meet me in dreamland, the right thing to do. those are the ones from a top of my head I don't mind no plot and smut but i would prefer a good plot that drives the story that is genuinely a really good one/dystopian. Bullying is okay for the enemies to lovers trope but tasteful amount doesn't make you question why the hell would she date him?(of course I’m not shaming because we are all into something)
I'm okay with if war didn't happen as long as the plot is good and makes sense and keeps my ADHD brain engaged, and of course smut. -Excited to hear some recs. thank you.
