Since I'm still procrastinating "Choices" (okay, actually I'm still healing from the severe heartbreak it caused) I read „Quite like us“ and "blue and yellow skies" by @alarainai and „salmon_says“. For those of you who need and love (somewhat fluffy) Jegulus AUs these might be it.
Quite like us (67k): The story is placed in the real world, like without magic at all. James is a physiotherapist and Regulus studies to become a veterinarian. They make contact via a text message from James that was meant to be send to Sirius. They don't know who the other person is but start a conversation nonetheless. It may sound a little odd at first but I really liked how different it was. Especially since the first part is almost exclusively written as text messages. But yeah - check it out. It’s a really nice short fanfiction! Also it hit a little too close to home when some teen angst was discussed. But I sirius-ly loved how they chose to deal with it and "solve" the issues. Know your worth you lovely people!
Blue and Yellow Skies (142k): Okay this one is an AU where Regulus and James are both professional Quidditch players. It's rivals-to-lovers and was executed perfectly (imho). They managed to capture James and Regulus so well. While Regulus has some a lot unresolved feelings, James is just..well he's James. He's utterly, idiotically and irrevocably in love with Regulus. So you bet it's an utter mess when they find themselves in a fake relationship with the press and public constantly in their faces. This story deals with some sirius issues as well. I think the bottom line is that it's okay to set boundaries because you can't fix another person. It's not your job and you shouldn't let them run around hurting you. There comes a point where you have to choose yourself in order to survive. But then, there is always two sides. And it's okay to take some time to heal and ask for forgiveness. Also Rosekiller is a definite plus for this work of art!
Anyways, thank you for these wonderful stories! If you have more recs please send them to me. I love reading and writing about them! :)♥

𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐢𝐝𝐞 • 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰
general info
author: Misdemeanor1331 fandom: harry potter pairing: draco malfoy/hermione granger chapters: 10 (technically 9) rated: M/E potential triggers: death, violence, sex
𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐈 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐃: 𝐲𝐞𝐬
While ferrying a message for the Order of the Phoenix, Hermione Granger is caught by jaded Death Eater, Draco Malfoy. Unlikely and unwilling allies, the pair begin a cross-country journey where their survival depends on learning when to stand strong against the elements’ fury, and when it’s acceptable to erode.
so, yes, i would absolutely, no questions asked, recommend Time and Tide. but this fic is not my typical dramione fic rec whatsoever. at 10 chapters and under 30k words, it is pretty short, so there's no slowburn there. their relationship builds pretty quickly, but not abruptly. hermione being a selkie is one of the biggest story points in this fic, which i loved. i don't feel like i see many creature!hermione fics, honestly. the most notable feature of this fic, though, is just the writing itself. i mean, it's beautiful. you can absolutely tell the author is a seasoned and talented writer. for a short fic, the characterization is great and the entire time i was practically screaming, "PLEASE WORK OUT PLEASE GET SAFE PLEASE BE HAPPY" at my kindle.
also, for the record, there are two endings to this fic. one is HEA, but one is not. both contain smut. i read both because of course i did. the non-HEA version felt a little rushed and...underbaked? i don't love criticizing the work that amazing fic authors do for free, but it is worth noting. if you are going to read one ending, i highly suggest the HEA one, not just for your own mental health, but also for the story. the HEA one isn't even totally HEA, so the edginess is still present!

Lord Harry Potter and the Whispers of Lady Polixenes, a fic by @omgkatsudonplease with banner art by the lovely @the-colourful-witch
Suddenly, there was a shout from the Hufflepuff table. “Look!” exclaimed Hannah Abbott, pointing at the enchanted ceiling. “It’s snowing!” Harry looked up, and was nearly hit in the face by a piece of parchment. He grabbed it to see that it was titled Lady Polixenes’ Hogwarts Secrets, Issue 7. All around them, leaflets of parchment were falling out of the rafters. Students were brushing leaflets off of their food, slipping on loose sheets, flinging them at one another. A sleeping Neville Longbottom over at the Gryffindor table was quickly covered in a mountain of parchment. Up at the High Table, Dumbledore was watching the mayhem with great amusement, while Umbridge had gone rather purple-faced trying to destroy all of the falling parchment without setting the rest of the Great Hall on fire. “STOP IT!” she bellowed, as some of the first-years started to jump around, plucking papers out of the air. “Do not read these! These leaflets are illicit publications, and I forbid you to read them!” No one, however, seemed to be listening to her. Professor Liu, who had finally deigned to start taking meals in the Great Hall again, was openly reading a leaflet in the seat right next to Umbridge. Professor McGonagall and Severina were both surreptitiously tucking their own copies into the folds of their robes. Students from all four houses were also sneaking copies of the leaflets, though some of their peers—especially at the Slytherin table—were trying to help Umbridge destroy the rest. “Detentions!” howled Umbridge. “Detention to anyone caught with a copy of this pernicious Lady Polixenes!” Election Year has hit New Avalon, and everything is changing. This year, Lord Harry of the Honourable and Most Ancient House of Potter must navigate the chessboard of Pureblood society, whilst dealing with the appointment of a despotic High Inquisitor to Hogwarts, internal strife amongst previously-unshakeable friend groups, and his own confusing teenage feelings. Part Five of Heirs of Avalon, a Pureblood Culture deconstruction.
Read here on AO3!

Fic Rec & Rave Review
We Go Down Together by ErisMornsGhost Regulus Black x Hermione Granger with a side of Wolfstar 22 Chapters - 105K words
Summary: Regulus Black decides to die, but he can't do it alone.
He hadn’t bothered trying to insist she stay behind or trying to trick her with hidden portkeys or eleventh-hour house-elf rescues. Been there, done that, she’d grumbled, shaking her head. She wouldn’t risk Kreacher’s life–or any elf’s–for her own. Not that it mattered. They were soul-bound. Fated across time, two halves of a whole. There would be no separating them in life or, it seemed, in death.
When one of them died, the other would not be far behind. There was no escape for them, no path but the one they walked together.
Featuring: Time Travel Hermione Redemption Regulus Saving him from himself Severus Learning to be better Sirius
Review: We know this dance. The 'go back in time to fix the future' trope. But this is not your average time travel fix-it story.
SPOILERS
'We Go Down Together' follows Sirius as he pieces together the last three years that led up to the supposed deaths of his brother and his muggleborn wife. Through Sirius' eyes, we find out what exactly Hermione was up to during her redo at Hogwarts, from year four on, and how her influence has changed the timeline.
I personally love the angle the author has chosen to take. The story isn't caught up in the day to day activities of how the main pairing gets together, but rather chooses to focus on the larger moments and the feelings behind the actions.
This coupled with the artistry of the writing is a perfect example of why us fan fiction writers do what we do.

In 2023 I published 19 works on Ao3, totalling 44,982 words. Of those nineteen, eighteen were Harry Potter and one was Tomb Raider.
I wrote three drarry microfics: Roleplay (193 words), Travel (89 words) and Skirt (117 words).
Out of the rest of the fifteen works, four of them were femslash:
Little Agonies (Padma/Lavender) (898 words)
Parvati is always there for Lavender after a transformation.
and an endless sky, stretching high above (Luna/Ginny) (2006 words)
After the war, Ginny wishes she could become someone else.
for Hp Saffics Femslash February Bingo 2023.
her eyes (Charity/Narcissa) (1044 words) for Kill Your Darlings 2023.
Her eyes are the hardest part.
Visceral (Hermione/Pansy, E) (483 words)
How did they get here? Pansy isn’t sure. Everything’s hazy, since the war, but Granger is solid.
The other eleven works were M/M, with ten of them drarry and one of them Sirius/Draco.
Sirius/Draco was 'dirty filthy secret' based on @basiatlu's art of them: To Touch You is Like Swimming in Mercury.
DRARRY:
'Bramble' for HP Fruitfest. Werewolf Draco. (749 words)
Long fingers pluck a blackberry from the bramble bush, and place it onto a pink tongue. Rolling it around his mouth, savouring the sweet-sour taste, before biting it with white, sharp teeth, and it goes pop in his mouth.
'Sweetie' For H/D Candy Hearts Fest (311 words)
Harry had always known that Malfoy’s mouth was obscene, but this was something else entirely.
Touched, Fate, Silver and Gold, and Sharp for HP Microfic May.
'a voice reaching out in a piercing cry' (E, Noncon) (1707 words)
You can’t see. You can’t hear. You can’t move.
Black Mass with Fangs (E) (3236 words)
After the war, the Ministry takes his voice.
both for my Bad Things Happen Bingo.
And then two fics that weren't for a fest:
Sucker (E) (5,048 words)
Harry begrudgingly comes back to Hogwarts for his Eighth Year, and finds himself sharing a room with Draco Malfoy. It leads to some unexpected revelations.
In The Woods Somewhere (WIP)(E, Noncon) (25,999 words) Fenrir/Draco, Draco/Harry.
Draco can't remember what the world was like before Fenrir took him. His life is the cabin and the woods that surround it. But one night in winter, Fenrir kidnaps a man he calls an old enemy, and Draco's life is forever changed.
Tomb Raider:
Scar Tissue for Febuwhump 2023. (Sam/Lara, 852 words)
Lara has so many scars.

I was asked to compile some fanfic recs and I've decided to put some out for you all to read at your leisure. It's mainly Harry Potter - because the fandom took full control there - and I'm recommending other fics from mostly smaller fandoms as well. I don't think you need to read the source material to enjoy most of these.
Under the cut!
Harry Potter
The Secret Diary of Hugo Granger-Weasley, Aged Thirteen and a Half - by FloreatCastellum
The Quest to Find 12 Ways to Charm Witches - by FloreatCastellum
A Brief History of Red Telephone Boxes - by FloreatCastellum
She has written my one true headcannon for Hugo Weasley in three fics - he's a menace, he's unintentionally hilarious and just the perfect combination of Ron and Hermione and the take on the Adrien Mole novels is sheer perfection. All of her work is great and stand out on their own merits - but I come back to these when I need a really good laugh because she really understands those awkward early teen years so well.
FloreatCastellum has retired from fanfiction to pursue original works, but her backlog is extensive, interesting and engaging. Her tumblr is still active and going through her asks is a treat into examining her though processes and clarifying some details. You can find the tumblr here @floreatcastellumposts
Order of Mercy - by MandyinKC
I'm very past due to reread this - she started posting this on FFN when I was teaching in South Korea and I remember reading the updates in the evening before bed. It's a fantastic take on another prospective on the last book and probably did play a part in my own writing. This is one of the best takes on an alternate prospective of Deathly Hallows from the shared prospectives of Bill, Fleur, Percy and Audrey as they form their own small resistance group.
Irrational - by RonsGirlFriday (aka @constitutionalweasleymonarchy on this hellsite)
This is the fic that made me appreciate the first person prospective and showed me what kind of strong character voice that can offer. The way Audrey is written here is fantastic, she's quiet, observant and is going through her very quiet life as it begins to shift through meeting new people. The story is not overwhelmed by an intense narrative, it's a quiet day to day sort of story. This is one of the primary inspirations for the POV for One for Sorrow and its early tone before the madness set in. I will drop everything I'm doing if I get word of an update or new publication.
Oo0Oo0
Bridgerton
a most assured bliss - by starkswinterfelling
I know this fandom has taken off in recent years and has a lot of good fics, I don't have time to go through them all these days but I can recommend this one with confidence as a long, extended epilogue to book 3 of the series from the prospective of the elderly housekeeper as she ends up in a web of well-meaning secrets between her employers. It's very well written, very funny and a reminder that all secrets come out eventually.
Oo0Oo0
Daddy Long Legs - Jean Webster
Dear Mr. Ben E. Factor - by orphan_account
This is one of the finest epistolary novels. It's short and covers about four years of Judy Abbott's life as a college student paid for by an unknown benefactor. This book is a product of its times in regards to race and class politics of the era. If that's not something you want to go through, that's fine, some kind soul has rewritten the novel for modern sensibilities and has lost none of what made the original novel so endearing.
Oo0Oo0
Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien
The Abduction of Éomer, King of Rohan - by Lialathuveril
The author is now self publishing and I recommend all the work on her page. This is one of the stories I made sure to save in case FFN ever truly dies - it's funny, well written and a slightly insane concept that just works.
Oo0Oo0
Beauty and the Beast
Honey, You're Familiar (Like My Mirror Years Ago) - by hester_latterly
No words for this modern Beauty and the Beast AU. It's well written, engaging and a character study in the guise of... I just don't want to say modern fairy tale, because it's a good definition, but it's ultimately a story about two lonely people coming together. Unfinished, but great!

I read. SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isolation by bexchan
Okay, quick background I have read and listened to a many Dramione. I don't consider myself an all knowing, but I have some over analyzed thoughts on this subject.
I am not done listening to this story. This is subject to change possibly....
Let's begin..
Isolation is considered a top tier dramonie fanfiction. I am currently listening to the story and understand that may not allow me to dive into it as much as I would like.
I have the thus far considered the story ...... interesting but not inciting.
Ranking key points. On Chapter 27 right now.
PLOT: picks up after HBP (half-blood prince) Hermione does not go on the quest for the horcrux instead stays to help Hogwarts. Ron and harry go off send her owl every fortnight, Hedwig is not dead nor Moody eye. The events of that night never happen. Professor Snape shows up with Draco Malfoy looking for somewhere to hide him. Snape did kill Dumbledore and Malfoy did let in the death eaters so he is considered partially responsible. McGonagall task Hermonie to take in Draco in her dorm as prefect she has a dorm with 2 rooms. He can't leave so Isolation. They live like that for a while and eventually begin a sexual and emotional relationship. Around January the ministry is taken the death eaters are going to Hogwarts to get all the muggle born wizards. Here is when Hermione and Draco get separated. He gets sent to his Andromeda Tonks and she to her daughter Nymphadora Tonks. so far--
Smut.... good. The smuts good I definitely think that really helps in the overall rating. In order to have a well written fan fiction the fantasy of a good fuck is paramount. That being said the over all tone of when they did the deed varied. He NEEDS her. He listens to her soothing noises when she showers. They do it to vent yet it does become this sweet thing that they can cherish. They also have many sweet moments. Personally them reading together is sooo cute. ughhh shakespare. omg.
Hermione's depth. unfortunately, I have not yet experienced the power of this character. She lacks something of self-driven force. she was never the most confident person but in this version she withers at the hands of Draco. Leaving a bad taste. I did appreciate the MLK bit when she's trying to convince Draco of the 'mud blood' word basically being racist. I don't really feel like Shes helping in the war effort much. She has literally only read books. This is halfway through may change. AT this point we will see if their affection for each other goes beyond being stuck together.
DRACO is a fun character to analyze he changes so much depending on the story. THIS IS A TOXIC MANNNNN. He is cussing everyone out Hermione, McGonagall, himself. I don't love that every other word he says is Fuck. fucking. Hell. It lacks the sophistication of noble born pure breed wizard that's all I'm saying. IT IS REFREASHING to SEE Draco Malfoy be in need. He needs Hermione beyond his eventual attraction, he needs her to keep himself from going crazy and not give him up to death eat. He is forced to trust her well before she ever really has to trust him truly. I dislike how difficult it is for him to truly consider having given up the death eater life. He grapples with it; I get that he does not throw off everything has learned. But he doesn't on his on consider that being force into isolation because he couldn't kill Dumbledore. Might be that moment he realizes ' oh I don't want to do this. ' Hermione' Is cramming that done his throat making it feel just forces. HE also yells at he a lot in the first bit to leave him alone.
WE have nooooo ron or harry still.
we got luna and blaze, that intro to that was the sweetest thing thus far.
The War is progressing in different events.
The story is very English.
I will update as I get through the story.

Snupin Fanfic Year in Review
Hey friends! So I really want to start promoting more amazing Snupin fanfics and I thought this might be a good way to start. I'm going to go through my bookmarks and select one (or two, or three) Snupin fics I read for each month and bookmarked and recc it in this thread :D Sorry if I don't tag every author but if you know their tumblr PLEASE tag them! *disclaimer* I didn't get an AO3 to bookmark until July so the first few months are just ones I had favorited in my browser until I got an AO3 LONG post ahead! A bunch of Snupiny goodness!
🦔 January - Triquetra by Contrarian_Hedgehog 🦔
Summary on AO3: With the war fast approaching, Snape is forced to rely on Lupin and Black in order to secure his place in Voldemort's circle. Can they get past two decades of hostility? After a month of cohabiting, being around each other gets easier yet so much more difficult. Notes: This is actually a Snackin fic! A poly relationship between Remus, Severus, and Sirius. It has such a fantastic 'I don't want to do this but I have to' into a full blown relationship and it comes with such spicy art and scenes. 16 chapters total. Read: Triquetra
⚔️ February - Lily's Boy by SomewheresSword ⚔️
Summary on AO3: Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.
Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.
With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.
Notes: Buckle up for a long, fantastic fic my friends! Lily's Boy is 109 chapters! This focuses a lot on Harry as I'm sure you could guess (Drarry specifically), but Snupin is a huge focal point in this fic and I would not call it background. It's brilliant worldbuilding earn it this February spot!
Read: Lily's Boy
🧁 March - Have Your Cake and Eat It by Cunegonde 🧁
Summary on AO3: Lying in hospital after the Battle of Hogwarts, Remus Lupin has a lovely lucid dream that he's gone back to his school days at Hogwarts. Only the day passes, then another, and another, and soon he must face the terrifying possibility that it isn't a dream — that he has irreparably altered the events of the past.
Please be advised, this one contains Adult Themes. Just, not so much in the fun flirty way, more in the midlife existential crisis way.
Notes: Primarily following Remus around as he gets transported back in time to his school days?! And how he falls for our lovely Severus Snape while trying not to mess up reality. YOU WILL CRY. Bittersweet ending warning on this one but so worth the read. 33 chapters
Read: Have Your Cake and Eat It
🦡 April - For Once Seen by diandrastrikesback 🦡
Summary on AO3: “Get the shutters,” he said stiffly.
“Want to see you,” Lupin whispered into his hair.
Snape’s panic rose. He fumbled with his words as his heart beat up his throat. “No. Erm…oily hair…you know, bad skin,” he stammered quietly.
Notes: A short drabble and first ever time something of mine inspired anything. ToT <3 Set in the summer, Remus sneaks over to Sev's house to have some fun. Sev isn't confident in his appearance though.
Read: For Once Seen
🐍 May - The Heir to the House of Prince by A_LoveUnlaced and elphi13 🐍
Summary on AO3: Summer of 4th year and Harry's all alone, dealing with his grief and the sudden revelation that James Potter is not his father. Support comes in a strange form. The form of Theo Nott, son of a death Eater. A strange friend who says he'll help him find his true father, whoever this Lord Prince might be.
Notes: Back to the long fics; 87 chapters AND this is a part of a currently ongoing series. Sev is actually Harry's father and wow is that a shock to Harry! This fic features Snupin and a Theo/Harry pairing and does a brilliant job focusing on both. Extremely compelling read. Severitius.
Read: The Heir to the House of Prince
🩺 June - Not Quite What the Doctor Ordered by Arionrhod and McKay 🩺
Summary on AO3: Severus Snape is a brilliant diagnostician, but it turns out that Remus Lupin is a very difficult case, in more ways than one.
Notes: I'm not usually one for super AU fics but this one takes the cake. Severus is charactarized fantastically and the story is so very good! This is completely non-magic and the relationship between these two is just chefs kiss! 4 chapters.
Read: Not Quite What the Doctor Ordered
🥇 July - With Every Step I Rise and Fall by @miffmiff 🥇
Summary on AO3: After the war, Remus thinks that all hope is lost of ever reconnecting with Severus. He may be in for a surprise though.
Notes: So I have this secret extra ranking I call 'The Golden Shelf.' It's the best of the best, and while many of these fics in this list hold that rank, THIS is the fic that inspired me to make that ranking at all. The very first fic on my golden shelf! This takes a look at how Severus and Remus grapple with the past and embrace each other. Charactarization feels real and so spot on. 1 chapter.
Read: With Every Step I Rise and Fall
Honorable Mention for another fic I read in July: Because He Really Knows Me by flyfreewithme776 is an AU fic where Remus is a cute barista and Severus is pining even if he keeps making his drinks wrong!
🎁 August - The Great Hogwarts Christmas Gift Exchange Debacle of 1996 by Snegurochka 🎁
Summary on AO3: Ron wants Luna, but Luna wants Ginny, and Ginny wants Harry, and Harry wants Hermione, but Hermione wants Lupin, and Lupin wants… Snape? Oh, what tangled webs we weave, when Dumbledore sets up a little seasonal fun for a group of hormonal teenagers spending their Christmas at Grimmauld Place – with two angsty thirty-somethings who have quite enough of their own problems to be getting on with.
Notes: This was a very long 1 chapter fic that was such a delight to read! The summary doesn't do it justice and I'm not sure that my little notes can either, but please give this a shot! In August like me, or right now; perfect for the holidays! Hilarious misunderstandings and a wonderful ending await you.
Read: The Great Hogwarts Christmas Gift Exchange Debacle of 1996
Honorable mentions for a few other fics I read in August:
Batten Down the Hatches by @diandrastrikesbackk is a heartbreaking, fantastic little fic that pays homage to many other Snupin fics. A look at the life of the Snupin fandom as seen by the duo themselves <3
Drifting Satellite by the_throwaway_account is a slight AU with an angsty Remus trying to cope with his lycanthropy with no supportive family or friends. Enter: Sev
🛶 September - I Lie In Your Charms by KALA @kalainthecanoe 🛶
Summary on AO3: When Severus Snape banked on being dead at the end of a war, it was as much of a shock as a burden to find out he was very much alive. He'd rather welcome oblivion and be known as a hero, than watch himself become a listless ghost of his former self. He never expected his Life After Death would contain much but living an isolated, quiet, life. Instead he somehow ended up returning to Hogwarts to teach, becoming involved in student affairs he'd rather stay far removed from, and most importantly, having copious amounts of sex with his old childhood enemy- Remus Lupin.
Recovery is a fickle and long road, and he certainly didn't expect his would involve accepting Remus as part of it.
Notes: KALA is an incredible writer in every fic they craft, but this is one of my favorites. As the summary suggests, spice fest! But this is no plotless hotness by any means. Who doesn't love using sex as a distraction from trauma? Wonderfully written 12 chapters.
Read: I Lie In Your Charms
🎂 October - October 1984 by @bluesundaycake 🎂
Summary on AO3: Severus knows something is wrong at Hogwarts, but he can't quite figure out what.
A story built from the daily prompts for Snapetober 2022. Accidentally snupin.
Notes: So I loved this one so much I had to draw art for it. Seriously I can't say enough good things about this fic! Snape has an adorable crow friend and has to figure out what the heck is going on at Hogwarts while also pining for Remus. Rumored by BlueSundayCake to be a part of a series! :o 32 chapters.
Read: October 1984
Honorable Mentions for fics I read in October:
A Door Left Ajar by Hera_Invictus takes a great look at Sev and Rem's past when Remus comes to Hogwarts to teach during POA. I don't know if they invented the word sexpilogue but uh, yeah...
Fuel the Pyre of Your Enemies by DivinityInMotion took the 'paired for school project' hook and sunk me in a fantastic story with slow burn Snupin.
🐺 November - Artemisia Absinthium: The Wolf and the Moth by Gertrude_Crow @princeandcrow 🐺
Summary on AO3: When Severus Snape uncovered Peter Pettigrew as a traitor before Voldemort attacked the Potters, it changed the course of many lives - his own included.
Relationships are forged and broken, as those that survived the war now have to learn to live, find new paths, and build new futures. And though their leader is gone, not all of the Death Eaters are willing to accept defeat.
Notes: Part 2 of Gertrude_Crow's Artemisia Absinthium series; READ THEM ALL! This is an AU during the first wizarding war focusing on Snupin with intriguing other relationships. Drama, intrigue, and a few dark spots make this series an incredible read. Part 2 is my favorite, coming in at 30 chapters.
Read: Artemisia Absinthium Series
💰 December - The Inheritance by Shadowycat 💰
Summary on AO3: Things hadn’t gone well for Remus Lupin since the end of the war, so he didn’t think he could afford to pass up an unexpected inheritance from someone he’d never met. Of course it turned out there were a few strings attached, including having to share his surprise windfall with Severus Snape. Not that Snape was particularly happy about that...
Notes: It's a 'we have to live together and go on a treasure hunt and now we love each other' fic! Not going to lie, the writing reminds me of a modern day Jane Austin and the story line is so compelling. A little mystery and some great reading! 24 chapters.
Read: The Inheritance
Horoable Mention for another fic I read in December:
Ne'er-Blue-Well by @diandrastrikesbackck was written for a prompt I gave, but it took my usually serious, not a fan of comedy self and had me laughing out loud with a truely genius string of puns said by Severus Snape himself after a potion accident.
WHEW! Hope you find a new fic to enjoy! This was just whenever I read the fic, but did you have any you read this year that should be on next years list? -or- are you a writer working on one?! Leave them in the comments please! Here's to many more in the new year!

FANFICTION REVIEW
"The Rat and the Snake" by @artemisia-absinthium-blog
I finished reading this story, the first part, yesterday and I must say that it was a great discovery. It's a very interesting What if that investigates what would have happened if Snape had started actively spying for Dumbledore within the Order. He arrives to discover Peter's betrayal in time. Snape is absolutely in character. I found him very credible. He is a tormented, dark boy looking for his place in a world that has trampled him. The relationship with the members of the order is as tense as a violin string. The contempt that James has for him is palpable, as is Severus' difficulty in relating to Lily and little Harry. everything is just perfect.
Recommended story. You can find it on Ao3

Carpe Noctem Update #2
Sirius-ly (hahah, never gonna be sorry for that tho) my heart broke yesterday. Again might I add. (Chapter 45, if you know you KNOW). I have a little over 30 pages left and I don't really want it to end. (I know technically it's not over yet, but since the last update was in march I think we might have to wait a little longer for another update)

𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐓𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐒 • 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰
general info
author: Everythursday fandom: harry potter pairing: draco malfoy/hermione granger chapters: 20 rated: M/E potential triggers: death, gore, torture, sexual content, mention of rape
𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐈 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐃: 𝐲𝐞𝐬
As a Dark revival begins to rise four years after the war, Hermione Granger is placed on the assignment of putting an end to them - and her first task is to recruit the Ministry's best hope and last option in the form of Draco Malfoy.
i'm going to start this review on a slightly dramatic note: this is. my favorite dramione fanfiction to date. in all honesty, i totally see that changing as i read more by sage (aka everythursday). as it stands no, though, this fic absolutely blew me away. i am especially fond of the whole ministry-employee-hermione-tasked-with-draco's-case trope and sage is just an incredible writer who spends time developing a slow-burning progression from hatred, forgiveness, friendship, to eventual romance, so this whole fic felt like it had my name written all over it. it. is book length at a whopping 413 pages...and i still finished it in under 24 hours.
every single character, but especially draco and hermione, is just so perfectly written and true to the source. the plot just pulls you in, too; i found myself on the edge of my seat reading about the revival's plans and intentions. and the romance, the ROMANCE! so well-developed and beautifully written. i literally had butterflies in my stomach while reading. i find it hard to overstate this fic. if you like plot and romance, slowburn, and a draco redemption that actually takes a long time, this is absolutely the fic for you.
the only negative thing i can say is that i wish it was l longer and the ending is a bit abrupt. please read this fic.

Just make an OC at this point 💀
First few sentences into the fic and already dropping it
Can you guess why?
In the first few sentences that wasn’t even half of the first chapter I got the most OOC Harry I read in a good while. I’m sorry but Harry hating Hogwarts? That boy thought about the castle as his home-
And ofc he was „re”-stored into Slytherin.
And ofc he’s mean and hating, and dislikes Dumbledore at the ripe age of… fourteen 🤦🏻♀️
And then came the name change, some weird backstory change as too why that name ( favorite TV characters name and favorites Avenger surname- as if Harry would know this stuff because he was so allowed to watch TV with Dudley, yeah right )
And he doesn’t even look like himself anymore 👍 and so ladies and gentlemen, we’re back again at the „JUST MAKE AN OC!” show.
