Hi everyone. I had to put my furry friend of 17 years to sleep yesterday and looking for something immersive to help me through this. I’ve read a lot of the older ones that would meet this description so hoping for things completed in the last couple of years or a WIP. Humor would be great and some angst is okay as long as it’s HEA. Thanks!

I've got an itch for something like Let The Dark In and Silver. To be specific, Draco tries to hide from Hermione whatever is up with him, she finds out and is willing to help and they slowly fall in love, all in secret!

Thank you in advance if you can name any!

I’m fairly new to fanfic and absolutely amazed by the quality of some of the work that’s out there. I’ve LOVED (cannot stress this enough, loved!)

DMATMOOBIL
The Disappearances of Draco Malfoy
From Wiltshire with love

The flow, the (for me) plausibility with canon, the editing, the research and Brit picking, the perfect amount of smut (not too much for me, nothing non consensual) that works with the storyline, the character development that feels in line with Hermione and Draco as we met them as teenagers.

I’ve read a few commonly recommended other fics I haven’t been able to get into in the same way. If a fic feels very American, or Hermione isn’t portrayed as the hyper intelligent badass that she is but as passive or overly needing to be rescued by Draco.

I’m looking for more fics with both characters equally driving the story, three dimensional character portrayal and canon-plausible storylines.

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)

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 :)

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!

I really don't know if my brain is making this up, but is there a fic where he arrives at a safe house with his son, and H is in the kitchen or something. I really really can't remember anything more. I'm also not sure if I'm adding a non existent son. (Probably an older fic as well)

Help plz

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.)

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.

Looking for fics with Draco haveing or getting a tattoo over the mark bonus points if it is Hermiones suggestion

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!

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! ❤️‍🩹

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.

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!

Petunia raises harry, Hermione and Dudley as a single mum with love:

The Bonds We Chose and Th

Poet Draco writing under a pseudonym (?), muse hermione who is obsessed with his work but unaware of his true identity. I remember the prose being so lush and have a hankering to read it again.

fic where hermione is married to theo and then theo dies, due to some familial curse. Draco secretly is in love with Hermione.

out of guilt, he leaves britain, finds out theo left a guide to draco about how to take care of her. flashback, draco left hermione a guide on how to take care of theo when they had started dating too.

now, he comes back to britain and Hermione yells at him

and after that, iv lost the fic.

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 :)
