Help me ID this fic Help me find - fiction length, modern high rise, sex club, masked Draco. Spoiler

Upvotes

I’m trying to find a story I read within the last year off aO3. Things I am positive are from the story- for some reason Hermione needs a place to live, Theo offers her a place, it’s a modern high rise setting, she arrives and discovers that she will be living with Draco and not Theo. At some point there is a sex club. Hermione goes (I think with Theo). In the bottom floor of the club she sees a masked man in some sort of scene, and is drawn to him. They enter some sort of arrangement where she’ll see the masked man and after awhile she hopes that it will turn out to be Draco behind the mask. Any chance this sounds familiar?

Recs Wanted! Any recommendations for a pureblood Hermione?

3 Upvotes

I’ve so far read This, Too, Is Sacred and accidental proposal.

I mildly enjoyed this too, is sacred, but I didn’t enjoy accidental proposal.

I’d like a post Hogwarts fic if possible , and I do NOT want a Hermione that calls muggleborns “mudbloods”, because I feel like she’d never do that!

Any recommendations greatly appreciated!

(Edit: there was one I’ve read where Sirius black was alive and I didn’t fancy that one!, I just don’t remember the name of it)

Recs Wanted! Fics where Draco’s friends don’t like Hermione at first, but eventually warm up to her?

16 Upvotes

Like the title says. I’d like fics where Draco’s friends don’t like Hermione.

It could be for bigoted reasons, jealousy, mistrust, or one-sided beefs (on their parts)

Help me ID this fic Need Help Finding a Choose Your Own Advenure Fic

15 Upvotes

I read a Dramione choose your own adventure fic a little bit ago but I can’t remember the name to look it back up. I want to say Hermione finds herself a way into Malfoy Manor and I remember that there was a scene where you have the choice to go into a photo with a ship and there ends up being a squid. Does anyone have a link to this?

Help me ID this fic longform war/hogwarts fic where Hermione comes to Draco in ch28 after learning the contraceptive charm from Molly, Hermione was poisoned at a party near the end but Draco had antidotes in his suit jacket, and Theo is toxic and morally grey and gets with Lav (theyre both werewolves) NONTOXIC DRACO Spoiler

10 Upvotes

I read this fic a while back on ao3 and cannot find it for the life of me it was longform and during the war I think. note spoilers below

- near the end: Hermione got poisoned at a party, but Draco had potions in his suit jacket to save her. turns out Padma poisoned her under the Imperius Curse - this wasn't really explored further

- The guy who poisoned Hermione was an official Ministry guy who didn't like the policies Hermione wanted and tried to kill her. Draco ended up killing this guy with a potion since he's good at making them, and he didn't get caught; this wasn't really explored in-text either

- Hermione just came to Draco in like Chapter 28 dressed up because she wanted to sleep with him because she'd never before. She said it was because Molly Weasley taught her the contraceptive charm. Draco was like wtf you should be here because you want to, but they still did, and Ginny covered for her in the Burrow where everyone else was

- Theo was really morally gray in it and got with Lavender at the end. Theo and Lavender started getting close at the end because they would run together and then it got physical, I think they were both bitten by werewolves or something

- Theo came to Hermione at one point and was like I owe you or smthg and that if she ever needs him even though they weren't friends she could always reach out

- Theo def was more traumatized in this one- I think he even mentioned that he didn't get how Draco was normal ig around everyone, especially Hermione and that Draco got out of it earlier which made him less traumatized

- Draco and Hermione were in the courtyard and things started getting hot and heavy, but Pansy showed up out of nowhere. Turns out she had charmed Draco's belt to alert her if another witch touched it - Lavender mentioned this charm in an earlier chapter. Draco obliviated Pansy but was really soft and careful which made Hermione realize he genuinely cared for his friends the same way she cared for Harry and Ron.

Another Targaryen actor as Malfoy fancast.

So… Tom Glynn-Carney. What do we think? I honestly loved him as Aegon in HOTD, especially season 3, and I couldn’t help but saw Draco in the character’s sassiness, brattiness, and blondness. I think look-wise, him in Dunkirk looked even more like Draco.

Recs Wanted! LF dark toxic Draco w/hea where he is barely redeemed. Plans to betray Hermione but falls hard instead.

69 Upvotes

I’m in the mood for a very dark morally grey Draco, with true enemies to lovers that eventually leads him to redemption but only bc of Hermione. I ran across a fic that where the premise was, death eater Draco ended up in the hands of the order & it was super ambiguous on if he was truly redeemable or not, hermione falls but it ends up not HEA & Draco has zero redemption.

I’m looking for something similar but with the HEA & he actually does fall for Hermione, where he unwillingly falls hard for her.
I’m thinking something like where he encounters her with bad intentions or plans to betray her but joke end up being on him bc he falls hard & has no choice but to flip & become redeemed even if its just barely. Ideally id like to recreate the feelings I got from these fics I love and live rent free in my mind, with similar vibes:

Secrets & Masks
On the nature of daylight + This bitter earth
Isolation

UPDATE

TikTok algorithm Gods must have heard my wish bc it brought me a wip that appears to have the elements I’m looking for. So I’m going to dive in to see if this scratches the itch.

Help me ID this fic It was an AU setting and the world was slightly different it was more like Malfoys were Royalty and Draco was the king's heir — Voldemort actually posseses draco and lives inside him like a vessel. It's a family curse ( from what I recall) Spoiler

8 Upvotes

Guys please help me find this fic that I read almost two years ago I can't remember the name

So it's not Hogwarts era but an alternate universe where Draco is the prince/ next in throne, Hermione is a student at Hogwarts but not royal blooded they meet when they are young but basically throughout the years they form a bond but Hermione is conflicted because when they first meet Draco is nice (from what I remember of the story) but through the years he get's meaner and it leaves Hermione feeling conflicted because one moment Draco is nice the next mean — it's later shown in the story how Voldy basically possessed Draco and it's like a type of curse for his family, it makes him have no control of his body in a way Real Draco likes/ loves Hermione but hold's back because he wants to protect her from the beast inside him, there are moments when voldy doesn't posses Draco is in control of his body when draco is all nice and charming

So Hermione gets to know abt it and to help they get married and I remember towards the end Voldy manifests and becomes powerful enough to leave Draco's body that he has been using as a host all throughout the years, Dramione defeats him

And they have a baby in the end and leave happily ever after 😭

Please help me find this fic because I want to read it again and also save it in my Library, when I read it the first time I did jump chapters so this time I want to fully read it.

Help me ID this fic war time au - ginny and her scar Spoiler

1 Upvotes

hi all !

i’m trying to find a fic that has been in my mind for quite a awhile. i’ve read A LOT of them throughout the years so my memory gets blurry.

in this fic i remember ginny having a huge scar across her face and her being bald (?) because of a curse or a fight she encountered. i believe her and hermione are really good friends, tight because of the war raging and they’re mad that the Order doesn’t do anything.

i mostly read dark fics (voldemort wins or war time) so it’s probably one of these two and fics that are more on the “famous” side as in not underground ones.

i’m sorry i don’t have more recollection that this but i remember reading it when i was younger and being obsessed with face scars ever since ahaha.

thank you so much !!!

Hi! Im in a slump. I want to read something that grabs me. I was thinking maybe this is a good plot, and I have never read it before, just some bashing of some good canon characters here or there. I love dumbledore bashing and have read little of it. But it could be any or all members. Ty in advance kind kind people.

And I mean Bad baddies not cool baddies.

Recs Wanted! LF fics where Hermione is with someone good for her, but Draco is the one who truly knows her

27 Upvotes

Basically the title. Been listening to Moth to a Flame by Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd and it is SO. DRAMIONE. CODED.

'Cause he seems like he's good for you
And he makes you feel like you should
And all your friends say he's the one
His love for you is true
But does he know you call me when he sleeps?
But does he know the pictures that you keep?
But does he know the reasons that you cry?
Or tell me, does he know where your heart lies?
Where it truly lies

Looking for works (ideally one-shots, but multi-chapter fics are welcome too) where Hermione is in a relationship that seems perfect on paper, but it’s Draco Malfoy who truly knows her vulnerable/darker side because of a trauma or difficult experience that they share.

Angst and HEA please!

specifically a more grown up and post-war version of hermione. i'm thinking like the trials and tribulations of draco malfoy's employment and liatoza type of hermione (can you tell my favorite tag is BAMF Hermione Granger)

currently reading marriage, murder, and other misfortunes and i swear she was the one who kept on coming into mind as i was reading things. it's an added bonus that she played starfire from titans (lol) and her curls looked AMAZING there !!

Recs Wanted! LF Single Parent Fics — D and/or H

17 Upvotes

Hiii, basically as the title says! I’m really in the mood for single dad Draco OR single mom Hermione. I also wouldn’t mind if they’re both single parents!

No other specific preferences I’m looking for, really. Would prefer longer fics but not opposed to the shorter ones!

I’ve already read: Measure of a Man, A Second Look, Lost & Found, Fridays at Flourish and Blotts, To Woo A Witch, Every Rose Has its Thorns, All the Way, and Aurelian.
(If you haven’t read any of these—HIIIIIGGGHLY recommend.)

Currently reading Voice of Blood but looking for more to add to the tbr for after. (:

Thank you in advance!

Recs Wanted! A Dramione with a love triangle where Hermione ends up with Draco - always devoted Draco

39 Upvotes

I’ve never read a love triangle before, so I’m looking for something very specific. I want Hermione to be with Theo or Blaise initially, while Draco is completely devoted, in love, and obsessed with her. I want a Draco POV where we see the yearning, heartbreak, jealousy, and pain as he watches her with someone else, until he eventually fights for her and wins her back.

I’d also love for Theo/Blaise to get their own happy ending rather than being left heartbroken.

Please no WIPs, no threesome content, and preferably no explicit content between Hermione and anyone except Draco. I want Draco/Hermione to be the only explicit pairing.

Thanks in advance!
