Discussion You ever think Draco should’ve been in the original trio? Also LF fics with this plot lol

18 Upvotes

Imagine if it was him instead of Ron. Or even him instead Hermione. A group of three boys from very different backgrounds getting in and out of trouble together and saving each other’s butts, leading to a lot of different choices and dynamics as they got older and Voldemort got closer.

Anyone have fic recs with these vibes? I think it would be really interesting.

Recs Wanted! I need justice for Astoria Malfoy

73 Upvotes

I wanted to read a fic where Draco's a widowed single father to Scorpius and Dramione eventually gets together, but I DO NOT want the story to dismiss Astoria's importance in all of this. I want it to be clear how much she was loved by her husband and how he was deeply devastated by her death. Hermione can be divorced too, I don't care. I just want some respect to Astoria. (I've wanted to read MOAM for a long time but I don't know if they do justice to Astoria, so if you've already read it and you think it does, I'm accepting the recommendantions)

Help me ID this fic Veela Draco Smells Every 7th & 8th Grade Girl? Spoiler

17 Upvotes

So I have been rereading a bunch of Veela Draco stories and loving them all over again, but one keeps popping up in my head and I can't seem to find it in all my saves. I don't know if I didnt like the end or its just not finished, or its one of a couple that I saved the link, but they were taken down for whatever reason. So hoping you all know this fic and can tell me if its still up on A03.

Pretty sure its Hogwarts 8th Year.

Draco is a Veela and I think Snape is alive.... I could be mixing that part up.

But Draco has to find his mate and when he smells her he could react badly. So for everyone's safety they put Draco in a separate room and then give him an airway so that he can smell every 7th and 8th year girl as they enter the Great Hall.

Then again...I am not sure if I am combining 2 fics, but I feel like Draco tries to breakdown the door to the Great Hall to get to his mate (obliviously Hermione). And a girl steps out in his way thinking he is there for her and he like shoves her away to get to Hermione.

This all happens pretty early on in the fic but I can't remember anything else about it...so maybe its a WIP?

Is this ringing any bells for anyone?

Thanks in advance if you do know!

Help me ID this fic Looking for marriage law fic with NottPott in it. Spoiler

7 Upvotes

I’ve been wracking my brains over this since last night. I remember reading it before. It’s nottpott side pairing. I remember Hermione and Ron didn’t know Harry is gay, and Harry confessed that his partner might not be a girl. And they were talking in the Great Hall I think and waiting to be called up to the Headmaster’s office so they could know who their partner is.

I’ve been thinking about this fic and I really need the title. Thank you in advance.

Mod Post Penultimate Top Fics Survey Results Update

277 Upvotes

NO! This isn't it yet, but DON'T PANIC!

Everyone has been patiently waiting for the survey results for nearly a year, and some people are getting understandably twitchy. Just last week, I got overwhelmed by comments and modmail and ambitiously (stupidly) said "after this [now past] weekend". So, I'm relieved to finally set some expectations based on realistic time estimates for the remaining work (rather than my own fantasy reality):

The results will be up within 48 hours of this post.

I'm hoping it will be within 24, but I'm giving myself a safety net for life... and regression testing for a bug fix.

Thank you to everyone who applied to moderate or offered assistance. I've been hyperfocused on getting through the results, but we'll be reviewing all the apps and offers directly after my brain resets, following the results post.

Thank you to all, and I'm so sorry.

Recs Wanted! Looking for custody battle fics

15 Upvotes

I’m currently reading one yellow school bag and I would like to read more with this vibe. It can be Hermione & Ron or Hermione with anyone.

Draco can be divorced/widowed/single as a Pringle. Bonus IF Scorpius exists he is Hermione’s kid friend. I have read Domestic Wizardry

Supportive Slytherin gang is a plus.

Extra plus if Lucius ends up helping & isn’t dead or locked up in Azkaban out of the picture. He can be in Azkaban but helpful. lol

Help me ID this fic Hermione has created the new wizard communication tool. Spoiler

7 Upvotes

Hi,

All I can remember from this fic is that Hermione helped design to communication tool for wizards. I think like the mobile but for wizards.

She is the silent partner though for the twins. I don’t think anyone knows apart from the twins. It’s made her a lot of money. I think it started in the U.K. but they are about to global.

Sorry that’s it’s all I can remember but I know this group has found me fics all the time. 😊

Thank you.

Recs Wanted! LF for Malfoy manor portraits and Hermione interaction fanfics

This can be positive interactions or negative interactions (kind of like Walburga). Love when Draco or any of the other Malfoys defend her. Also love it when one of the portraits actually likes her.

Recs Wanted! Draco being obsessed with Hermione since they were kids and people around him makes sure to he gets his girl

235 Upvotes

Any recs where Draco has been obsessed with Hermione and people around him, like his parents, manipulates things to make sure he gets the girl? It can be him asking them for help or them doing it without him knowing. HEA but can have an uncooperative/ trying to escape H. Stalkerish, simpy, or scheming D would be a plus. Can be during Hogwarts or when they’re older.

Thank you!

I knew that Secrets and Masks would be taken off ao3, but I didn't think Theo/Daphne prequel story would be taken off too, so I didn't download it in time. Does anyone have it? Any version of it, link, anything really.

Recs Wanted! LF comedy / situational farce fics with idiots in love and an ensemble of meddling friends

38 Upvotes

I have really found these types of fics to be the perfect comfort/escape when my actual life gets tough.

Looking for stories with little to zero dark themes, where everyone who matters is essentially psychologically mature and not toxic, and where Draco and Hermione for whatever reason have not gotten together yet even though they are the perfect fit. Enemies to lovers works for me only as long as the enemies are not actually wanting to murder each other, only figuratively or pretending to.

Let me know if you have any recs like this. Thank you ❤️

20 Upvotes

just as the title: fun, silly, messy fics where they’re all friends and in relationships with each other (gryffs x slyths)

almost little to zero drama (relationship drama is okay: love triangles, etc.) or very high school drama

the longer the better

thanks x

Recs Wanted! Looking for fics where Draco gets angry and summons or turns into a death eater to find Hermione?

45 Upvotes

I’m looking for fics where they are dating or started dating and he’s in love with her and she gets kidnapped or hurt and in his anger summons his death eater robes and uses his dark magic to save her and bring whoever hurt her to justice?

Edit: not interested in being him to his knees

Podfics Looking for slow burn ETL Echo podfic recommendations!

13 Upvotes

As the title says, I’m looking for recommendations for ETL Echo podfics! I’m pretty open when it comes to the storyline, but definitely need a good slow burn. The longer the fic the better!

I’m good with both pre war and postwar. Canon divergence is perf, not looking for anything that’s a total AU.

I’m not really into pregnancy or kids from previous relationships, although I don’t mind a close relationship with someone else’s children.

Other than that, I’m pretty open! I’d love to hear what ETL Echo podfics you guys love. TIA!

Help me ID this fic Hermione time travels to fix the past Spoiler

8 Upvotes

I think in this fic, the Order had won the war, but everyone that she loved died, so she goes back in time to fix it. I dont remember how Draco fits in to this, maybe he goes back with her and also remembers the paralel suffering time? I think is a popular fic. Thank you so much!

Resources Flower Meanings in Pureblood Culture

10 Upvotes

This might be an odd request, but does anyone know of a resources that talks about the flower language the purebloods use? I’ve read so many fics where Draco has flower tattoos with meaning or where he talks to Hermione with flowers but I’m looking to see if there’s a list somewhere before I try to figure out what fics they were in. I tried searching google and Reddit and couldn’t find what I was looking for. Thanks!

Help me ID this fic LF Dramione : Ron Marriage + Failed Elope Post War + Bittersweet Ending + Secret Relationship + PTSD Hermione Spoiler

14 Upvotes

Omg, I love this fic with my whole heart. So basically from what I remember Hermione is an empty shell, depressed and not the same after the Wizarding War. The story starts when she goes to muggle pubs to drink because she won’t be recognized and drinks until she forgets of all her problems. One day, she stumbles across Draco at the pub and he asks why she’s here and he asks the question back and that moment is where the whole intimate relationship and everything starts. In which, they do it to forget of all of their life problems (draco has family problems and hermione questions who she is after the war and her values). Yeah, I also do not remember if he was slightly abusive. For her reputation, she’s in a relationship with Ron Weasley as a front because she cares so much about what everyone would say and think—she knows he’s cheating on her and he knows she’s cheating on him with Draco. Harry, the Weasleys, and her friend group all secretly know of her relationship with Draco but they don’t tell it to her face, they instead give harsh vague advice disagreeing talking about taking care of her reputation and stuff.

Fast forward….At one point, Ron proposes to Hermione and she accepts because she’s stupid, unhappy, miserable, coward bitch that wants to put everyones wants before hers even though being with Draco would make her happier. Okay so as she’s preparing to walk down the aisle, she gets stalled by Draco asking her seriously if this marriage with Ron is truly what she wants and that he would run away with her to somewhere no one would know them and live happily ever after if she just says the word. But she rejects and then they shag the feelings out and he says his offer will forever be on the table. She walks down the aisle disheveled and Ron knows but doesn’t acknowledge. During the whole marriage, she will always pack a bag to run away but Ron will somehow find it and always unpack it but never says a word. And the cycle repeats.. she’ll always wonder what would’ve happened if she said yes or if he has decided to marry a pureblood witch to forget all about her.

Update: The fanfic is Momentary Oblivion by bek_48 if you were interested!! go support the queen 🪽👑
