Depressing prompt... but. Could you so a story where Ron died due to his poisoning in 6th year? Obviously Harry and Ginny would be distraught but Hermione would be devastated that she wasn't able to patch things up with him before he died.

Oof. I would apologize for how long this took me, but I just had to take breaks. Here’s to breaking your heart as much as it broke mine to write this. 

~~~

When she woke up that morning everything in the world felt a little off-kilter. It took her a minute to remember. Ron, poisoned. She’d spent a whole afternoon staring into his pale face and wishing life into it. Spent all night fretting over him waking and no one being there to comfort him. She’d always hated when one of them was in the hospital wing without the others. At least at the end of last year, Ron had been there in the middle of the night to keep her company when her wounds were too tender to sleep on.

Exhaustion pulled at her eyes as she rose, going through all the motions of dressing and gathering her things. Perhaps there would be time after breakfast to sit with him. Of course, if she was let in that meant-

Hermione glanced over at Lavender’s bed but there was no sign of her waking. Though she’d put on a show last night of sobbing and demanding comfort over my Won-Won, poisoned, she’d seemed at least to have a restful night’s sleep. Not once when she’d woken had Hermione heard her tossing and turning.

Snorting and shaking her head, Hermione slipped on her shoes and made towards the door. It was only when she was at the door that the thought occurred to her. Was that what Ron wanted? Someone to fawn and coo over him? She could do that. She could tend to him.

The common room was filled with only a few brave souls, mostly seventh years working on a particularly hard Transfiguration essay she’d heard rumors about. To her displeasure, McLaggen was among them, and though she tried avoiding his eye by rummaging in her

“Hermione!” he called, standing up “Hermione, wait up!”

He caught her arm before she could make her escape and she spun around, trying to arrange her face.

“Oh, Cormac, I didn’t see you there,” she told him, acting surprised

He frowned at her, clearly not believing her story but didn’t press her on it. “How are you?”

“Fine,” she said, “And you?”

“I heard about Weasley,” he cut straight to the point. “Terrible.”

Hermione clenched her jaw. She knew it was all an act. He’d been all too ready to insult Ron on the few occasions she’d entertained his company.

“Do you know when he’ll be getting out?”

“No,” Hermione said shortly, not wanting to tell him what she knew.

“Well, you’ll let Harry know that if he needs an alternate, I’m still in fighting shape,” He said, flashing her what he believed was a winning smile. “Just until Weasley recovers of course.”

“I’ll be sure to let him know,” Hermione said dryly, pulling her arm from his grip.

“Brilliant-ah, here he comes! Harry, have you-“

“Sorry, we’ve got somewhere to be,” Harry said in passing and Hermione waved McLaggen off as they launched themselves through the portrait hole.

“Thanks,” Hermione told him once they were on the other side.

“Yeah,” Harry said shortly. “He ask about Quidditch?”

“Yes,” Hermione said, struggling to keep pace with him.

“Bloody tosser, he-“ and Harry proceeded to let out a stream of curse words that would have made Ron proud.

Hermione fought to keep from smiling, not wanting to reward his behavior, though she didn’t disagree with his assessment. “Language,” she said dryly at the end of it and they stopped, staring at one another. For a second she feared Harry becoming upset with her but then he cracked a smile and shook his head.

Their moods were both considerably lighter by the time they got down to the great hall, joining the early risers in breakfast.

“Did you sleep?” Hermione asked of him.

Harry shrugged. “I’ve spent so long sleeping next to Ron it’s weird when he’s not there. Isn’t that pathetic?”

“No, it’s sweet.”

Harry pulled a face. “That’s worse.”

“How?” Hermione challenged.

“Because it’s- hello Professor!”

Hermione turned to find Professor Sprout standing behind her. “Good morning.”

“Good-“ she started and then broke off. “Mr. Potter. Headmaster Dumbledore would like to see you and Miss. Granger in his office.”

Harry and Hermione exchanged a worried look.

“Now?” Harry asked. “Because we were going to go look in on Ron and-“

“Yes, Mr. Potter, now.”

Before they could press her on what Dumbledore wanted from them she turned, marching away, her shoulders hunched. The off-balance feeling Hermione had woken up with hit her again and the bites of toast she’d eaten churned in her stomach.

“Harry?” she asked, seeking reassurance.

“We’d better go,” Harry said, already on his feet and Hermione raced to catch up with him as he sprinted up the tables and the stairs.

Hermione’s heart pounded in her chest and it was only when they were halfway there that Hermione realized he wasn’t leading her to Dumbledore’s office. “Harry!” she called. “Professor Sprout said-!”

“I need to-“ Harry said, but didn’t finish his statement, didn’t stop his rush.

Too winded to argue with him she struggled to keep up. After all, she needed to see him too, needed to know he was alright. She lost track of him around the corner and could hear him banging on the doors before she came within the eye-line of the hospital wing.

“Harry!” she hissed.

“Let me in!” Harry said, knocking on the door. “Let me-!”

“Harry?” came another voice and Hermione turned to find Ginny standing there. “What’s going on, why are the doors locked?”

Harry paused, looking at her frantically. “I don’t know I-“

“Mr. Potter,” came a third voice, commanding. This time Hermione knew the source before Dumbledore brushed past her, putting his hand on Harry’s shoulder and steering him from the door. “Miss. Granger, Miss. Weasley, you’re expected.”

Hermione walked over to Ginny who was watching the doorway that remained stubbornly shut. She put her arm around Ginny and found her to be trembling. “It’s not-“ she whispered. “He isn’t-“

Her mind refused to form around the world let alone speak it. He wasn’t, couldn’t be.  Instead, they locked arms and followed after Dumbledore, through the winding corridors and passages, past the sleeping paintings until at last they arrived at the stone gargoyle that Hermione had only stood before once prior. The end of fourth year. Harry still in the hospital and Dumbledore asking their true loyalty. The memory wasn’t fond.

Hermione’s heart sank further as they walked into a room already full. She released Ginny into Mr. And Mrs. Weasley’s arms, gripping their daughter who had already begun to cry.

“Please, have a seat,” Dumbledore said, gesturing to the open chairs.

“No,” Hermione said, shaking her head. “We saw him last night, he was fine, he’s not-“

“Have a seat,” McGonagall instructed them and Hermione’s legs carried her to the open chair, perching herself beside Harry and staring between the adults.

“Mr. Weasley-“ Dumbledore said, “Ron, passed away in the middle of the night. We are investigating the exact cause of his-“

“No,” Harry repeated, turning to Hermione and pleading to her, to Mrs. Weasley. “I gave him the bezoar, I-“

“You did everything right,” Mrs. Weasley said, letting go of her daughter and walking over to him, wrapping her arms around him. In his ear, Hermione could hear her whispering to him. “You did everything right, Harry, you did we know you did.”

“He can’t just be-“ Harry choked and behind his glasses, tears welled in his eyes and flowed down his cheeks. “Ron.”

His name whimpered from Harry’s lips burst the damn in her chest. Hermione turned away her head, using her sleeve to stop the flow of her own tears. Her fingers pulled up her sleeves to cover her palms, using them to stop the flow of her own tears as her breathing quickened. Ron, not Ron. Not him. Anyone but him.

Harry nudged her and she realized that Mrs. Weasley had asked her a question.

“What?”

“Will you…would you like to come with us?”

She looked to Harry for clarification. “We’re going to the Burrow.” He said factually and he sounded completely unlike himself. “Until after-“

“We have classes,” she said, turning to McGonagall.

“Of course we’ll work to make sure you’re still getting your education.”

“We understand if you don’t want to come,” Mrs. Weasley said and then, in a quiet tone. “We understand that you and Ron had a falling out.”

It seemed so silly now. Months spent without talking to her best friend, and for what? Because of her own jealousy?

“No, I—I’d like to come.”

~~~

Hermione stared around the kitchen, touching the table as if knowing it was there could make any of this feel real. She couldn’t believe it’d been almost a year since she’d last stood here. Since the summer spent bonded with Ginny against Fleur, spent laying out in the sun and reading books in the evening light. Since she’d spent weeks and weeks speaking to Ron every day.

He was, after all, the real reason she’d come. His instance on needing looking after with her wounds from the department of mysteries. She’d been so touched that he’d been worried about her, she hadn’t even thought about saying no.

Mrs. Weasley was already at the stove, chopping something by hand, looking miserable.

“Can I help you, Mrs. Weasley?” she offered coming over.

At her voice Mrs. Weasley jumped and when she turned to respond her face was carefully arranged.

“I’m alright dear, you go and get settled in.”

Hermione nodded, withdrawing from the kitchen without reminding Mrs. Weasley that their things wouldn’t be sent along until later that evening. She wandered up the stairs, searching for something real, something that would pull her from this horrid nightmare. Without thinking, her feet carried her up and up and it was only the sight of Harry, gripping the banister, his feet planted firmly on the landing that she realized only one last set of stairs separated her from the attic. From R-

“I can’t do it,” Harry said helplessly, “I can’t go up there without him.”

Hermione didn’t know what to say staring up at the impossible task. Now that she was here she found she didn’t want to go either. As if not going, not seeing his room empty of him might mean that he was still there, hiding from them. A cruel prank, yes, but kinder than the reality she was facing.

“It’s okay,” said a voice from behind and Hermione was surprised to find Ginny there. Harry looked at her for direction. “You can sleep on the floor in our room, mum and dad won’t-“

Harry nodded, his eyes still forward, still staring up at the ceiling challengingly.

“Come on,” Ginny said kindly, putting her hand in Harry’s and giving it a small tug.

Hermione watched as his eyes darted over to her, his face more miserable than ever, and slowly he released his white-knuckled grip on the banister, turned, and followed Ginny as she led them to safety.

~~~

As the days went on the Burrow continued to fill until it felt like it was bursting with people. Friends and family. Aunts and Uncles and cousins Hermione had not yet met. She felt like an outsider, listening to their stories of Ron. Of experiences she had not known he’d had. Would she have? If their friendship had gone on long enough?

Would he have told her about the time he’d gotten lost in Diagon Alley only to be found at the ice cream parlor? Or the time his Uncle had taken him for a fly and he’d refused to get off the broom?

And following the thought each time was the sinking realization that perhaps not. They hadn’t even reconciled. And for what? Because he’d chosen someone else? Because he’d dared not to be hers? She had hoped the Lavender thing would run its course and she’d be given a second chance to show him how she really felt.

But by the way everyone crowded around Lavender and comforted her on the afternoons she stopped by, Hermione had to consider that they might not have ever broken up. That he might have actually been in love. That she should have figured out a way to mend their friendship even if it meant giving up her dreams of something more between them.

She had no real experience with grief. Her brushes with death had only ever been due to her friendship with Harry. And she had never been as close as he. It seemed only natural to seek his advice.

“When does it stop hurting?” her question was childish, she knew. She didn’t want it to stop hurting but the idea of having a hole in her chest so large for forever…

With pity Harry turned to look at her, his thousand-yard stare gone. For the first time in days, it felt like he really saw her. “It doesn’t.”

They stared at one another, tears misting her eyes, and out came the question that wouldn’t stop tumbling through her brain.

“If I had apologized?” Hermione asked quietly. “Do you think he would have forgiven me?”

She could see the conflict on his face. Hadn’t been immune to how badly their estrangement had hurt him. Perhaps it was merely wishful thinking on his part that he nodded and said, “Yes, of course, he would have.”

But Harry knew Ron, loved Ron, better than anyone she knew, and didn’t dispute him. Instead, she let the tears fall from her eyes, laying her head on his shoulder as they were both enveloped by grief.

~~~

Bleak. There was no other word to describe the world as they sat by his graveside, some unknown Uncle giving remarks. The world, the occasion, the weight of it all. Dead. Ron was dead. He lay inside the box being lowered into the ground, blue lips and grey skin beneath layers of makeup. Dead.

And as she listened to the remarks of those who had loved him, who had known a Ron that she had not, Hermione could feel her soul spreading inside her.

She blinked in surprise as Harry stood, murmurs breaking out as he walked up the aisle and to the coffin, perched above the ground by magic. He lay a hand on the wood, shutting his eyes and making a miserable face, and then took the podium.

“Ron was my best friend,” he began, jaw working. “My first friend. And his friendship was the single best thing that could have ever happened to me. When we met I was just a boy in oversized clothes, stepping into a world I had no clue about. No clue I was famous in and Ron, he never made me feel famous, but he did make me feel special. On that train ride he offered me half of his sandwich, the only thing he had, and then he opened up his home and his family without hesitation. I will never be the same because of the kindness he showed me and I will never be the same because Ron-“

He broke off, staring miserably at the coffin, and spoke to it directly. “Ron every one of my futures had you in it. I’m sorry for all the times I put you in danger, you never had to stick by my side and for that I am….”

Hermione watched as his glasses fogged with tears and still he stared, miserably at the box holding what remained of their best friend.

“I’m sorry,” he gasped. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”

It was Mrs. Weasley who managed to unfreeze, her own face screwed up and miserable as she walked with determination, wrapping her arms around Harry and he trend, sobbing onto her shoulder. Greif shot through Hermione, and the pain reverberated through her with every sob and sniffle. He was dead. Ron was dead. Her world would never feel on-kilter again.

Bound: Naked by @bixgirl1

Featuring art by: @slyssnakes Typeset and bound by: me, @phoenixortheflame

Harry and Draco are sent on an undercover assignment to catch a Dark wizard — which might not be so bad if it weren't at a Muggle nudist resort. Now Draco has to deal with a very interested Harry, temptation he's long-since learned to ignore, and threats around every corner — including the one to his heart.

My first time doing a cut out! Well... it's not exactly a cut out, because I didn't cut into the cover board. But more on that later.

I made this bind for @dogearedbindery as part of the Summer of Drarry Exchange hosted by @itsphantasmagoria.

I am not big on summer aesthetics. Bright, fruity colours just don't do it for me. Don't get me wrong, other people embrace these elements beautifully, but they just don't feel like me.

For this bind I kept things simple (naked you might even say), featuring a nearly all black-and-white typeset (save for the art by @slyssnakes), a neutral cover, minimalist HTV, and this amazing black-and-white waves chiyogami paper.

The cut-out effect was achieved using a bit of card stock. It was really quite easy, and I'll definitely do it again.

Cut a piece of card stock the same size as your cover board, then, with a box cutter, cut out the shape of the window.

Layer and glue a sheet of decorative paper on the cover board.

Make your case, but instead of the front cover board, use the card stock.

Cut the window out of the book cloth, but leave about 1cm around the edges to turn into the window and glue down.

Glue the cover board to the card stock.

Finish the case as usual.

I did just a single-colour endband, but I used DAS' two-colour front bead method as I find it's the most forgiving. Plus it looks really good!

I rounded the spine on this one — and, y'all, I think I'm sold. A rounded spine (even if not backed) looks soooo slick.

This bind was almost a complete fucking disaster. For a few reasons, actually. First is I used Allure book cloth, which wasn't sticking nicely to the card stock and cover boards. Secondly, I made the hinge gaps too small. I thought because I was rounding I should make them smaller. WRONG. I discovered just how wrong I was when I cased it and tested the covers only to discover it wouldn't open. I quickly removed the text block from the case, replaced the end pages, remade the case using a different book cloth and standard hinge gaps, and voila. (Thank you to @epitomereally for talking me off the ledge while this crisis was occurring.)

The typeset is pretty simple and features three pieces of very sexy art by @slyssnakes. I can't even share chapter three's header as it will no doubt get my post flagged.

I hope you love the bind, Shannon! I'm going to have to make one for myself now....

And @bixgirl1, if you're out there, I'd love to make you a copy, too, so don't hesitate to DM me!

As always, this was made as a gift. No money (or other capital) was involved in this exchange.

Naked is free to read on A03.

And remember, folks, don't be a dick; don't commodify fic!

What We Fought For by sky_watcher_rose [Minerva/Poppy, M, 23k]

The immediate aftermath of war is overwhelming. But Minerva finds that she isn’t alone — and that beautiful things can happen if she gives them a chance to.

Being Albus's Deputy Headmistress was bad enough before Gilderoy Lockhart showed up…

Two Tragedies (And a Happy Ending) by sehrrhes [Wilhelmina/Poppy, T, 4.3k]

Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank and Poppy Pomfrey have wanted Will to get the position teaching CoMC at Hogwarts for a long time. This is how they cope with the tragedy of not getting what they want - and of getting it. (They also have to cope with other people being acephobic, and the horrors of war besides. But they have each other.)

Self-Care 101 by Trueliarose [Minerva/Poppy, T, 5.8k]

The proposal for a new girls-only club at Hogwarts sets Minerva on a journey to find what might be her own self-care reprieve.

The Bright Blue Healing Potion by HoardlessDragon [Fleur/Hermione, M, 4.9k]

Hermione returned to Hogwarts for her final year but the adage is true, you can never truly go home again. Fleur returned to Hogwarts as a Professor, but it isn't the only reason she's there. A long overdue conversation happens while getting ingredients for a special healing potion.

Professor Granger by zerozerozero [Fleur/Hermione, M, 6.3k]

Post-war Hermione has become a professor at a magical university. One of her older students is the infuriating Fleur Delacour. She has carefully pushed Fleur out of her mind since Shell Cottage... As far as Hermione is concerned, Fleur is an arrogant brat and that's all there is to her. Oneshot. Fleurmione.

Prepare for the Worst by aibidil [Rolanda/Minerva, T, 1.7k]

The war is in full force, and Minerva McGonagall knows it’s coming for Hogwarts. She’ll be ready.

Bouquet by sky_watcher_rose [Minerva/Poppy, T, 2.8k]

It starts with courage and ends with commitment - but the (floral) path of true love doesn’t run entirely smoothly.

A New Orbit by Khawabedramione [Narcissa/Aurora, G, 2.4k]

the stars do not wait. they drift, they burn, they move. so might we. Narcissa Malfoy never thought she would teach, never thought she would find herself walking the Hogsmeade path as a widow, a grandmother, and—most unexpectedly—an old spinster in the company of Aurora Sinistra. But some stars drift. Some women wait. And some choose to move again under the quiet night beneath the open sky.

A Tragedy In One Act by dexstarr [Charity/Septima, G, 812]

Three summers ago, Charity had disappeared, and not even the Order of the Phoenix had been able to find her. Septima had feared the worst, because of the article Charity had published in the Prophet, but she had held onto the hope of the unknown. No news is good news—a Muggle phrase learned from her lover. The Veil allows one couple the chance to say goodbye.

Flying Lessons by Phantomato [Andromeda/Rolanda, T, 2k]

Andromeda takes Teddy to flying lessons so Harry doesn’t get that, too.

Smokin' Hot by gracerene [Wilhelmina/Poppy, M, 494]

Written for the prompt: For one, watching the other light up a fag gives new meaning to the phrase "smokin' hot."

Welcome to Distress the Dark Lord, a fanwork fest dedicated to our favourite snake-faced megalomaniac, Tom Marvolo Riddle. This fest is a celebration of works— written, visual, or otherwise— that distress, destroy, torment, or emotionally devastate him in as many beautifully twisted ways as possible.

Whether it’s through extreme torture, psychological unravelling, or the pure, undiluted horror of genuine love (because we all know he hates that), we welcome all forms of affliction. Happy endings? Unhappy endings? Canon or crack? All interpretations are welcome— as long as Tom Riddle is suffering in some form, you’re doing it right.

Theme Guidelines

This is a fest for fanworks that:

Hurt, distress, torment, or dismantle Tom Riddle/Lord Voldemort in some way—emotionally, physically, romantically, magically, or metaphysically.

Can be deeply dark, deliciously dramatic, or completely unhinged.

Can feature torture, redemption, revenge, love, betrayal, or hilarity—just make sure he is the one distressed.

We welcome:

Platonic, romantic, or ambiguous relationships (yes, even kid Harry lovingly torturing his evil adopted dad—go wild).

All genres: angst, horror, fluff, crack, smut, and everything in between.

Both happy and tragic endings, for whoever you decide deserves it.

Submission Guidelines

Mediums accepted:

Written fic (minimum 500 words, no max)

Digital or traditional art

Moodboards (must tell a clear story or theme)

Binding/crafts (we adore physical fanwork!)

Rules:

Tom Riddle / Lord Voldemort must be the main character. All ratings allowed (G to E).

Dead Dove content is welcome but please tag appropriately.

We only restrict extreme underage (under 14).

No AI-generated content of any kind—text or visual.

Content must be posted on AO3, and we’ll highlight it on Tumblr.

Crossovers and AUs are welcome as long as Tom Riddle is recognisably himself.

WIPs are welcome!

Welcome to Kinktober 2025!

As there wasn’t an official Kinktober prompt list last year, we’ve put together an unofficial one for 2025, along with an AO3 collection. The graphics were all made by @latte-cucumber, and she's also made a banner that you’re welcome to use for your Tumblr Kinktober posts:
