r/Dramione

I recently read this fanfic and it was amazing! I wanted something with similar vibes!

I'm not demanding, but I would love a Draco simp, possessive and jealous! I'm also open to stories featuring sub-tropes like fake dating, arranged marriage (or marriage laws), action, comedy, and fluff!

I'm open to character bashing and enjoy it when someone tries to interfere but fails (though, for Merlin's sake, no cheating or love triangles)! I'm also not looking for stories that are overly long or a *very* slow burn.

Soooo if know of any like that, I would be immensely grateful!!!

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.)

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 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!

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

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 more niche fics where dragons struggles hard after the war and starts spiraling but the important part to me is that he hides his struggles as best as he can such as alcoholism, SH, substance abuse etc. Maybe he’s just given up on life and is drifting through the motions

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.

I just finished It doesn't count, and I’m looking for more recs with this kind of dynamic, not necessarily step siblings or age gap, I just want a soft, obsessed draco who babies Hermione and is so completely gone for her, with some delicious smut. Greenflowerpot’s fics also give me this vibe.

Any recs like this? Thank you :)
