Getting to Know You Tag Game

Thank you @ambpersand and @roseharpermaxwell for the tags!

Three Ships: I imprinted on Dramione in 2021 and that was it for me. But I also adore a NottPott and a Panville. You could probably sell me on any ship.

First Ship: Before I knew what fanfic was I kept a spiral bound notebook under my bed that I filled with Cassie/Jake from Animorphs. But also Tobias has my heart forever.

Last Song: Ok but 99% of what I’ve been listening to right now is Brown Noise, despite that the words “brown noise” next to each other in that order are heinous. The most recent thing on my Spotify history is “Stirring Brown Noise” by Loud Lowness. Great track. Highly recommend.

Last Movie: RWRB and I loved it!

Currently Watching: New season of Lower Decks. I wish Mariner would adopt me to be her bestie 🥺

Currently Reading: Supposedly I’m reading RWRB, but I’m currently working on a big, all-consuming work thing and holding RWRB hostage as my reward.

Last Thing I Wrote: In June I wrote a Dramione one-shot (with beautiful art by @tinyq and podfic by @etl-echo-audiobooks) about a lab accident that’s going to destroy all magical life in Britain, and Hermione has to stop it except she’s lost her memories. There’s a lot of popsicle stick-esque dentist jokes that I’m proud to say I made up myself.

Currently Writing: The big, all-consuming work thing that necessitates me listening to such heat rocks as “Mother Nature Sings the Brown Noise” by Breez Bing.

Tagging (I don’t know if people are around on tumblr or not but I’m tagging you anyway, and anyone else who wants to play!): @zeebee3 @thatblondebitvh @rattlebag @ellieauthor @chaoticcrumpets @tinyq @katsitsiyo

Hi incognitotoro. I love your writing, your Dramione fics are among my favourites. I was wondering if you have any particular Dramione favourites of your own you can recommend?

Oh man, ok, let me preface this by saying that it's been ages since i've actually read any, and it was probably about four years ago when I did my my 'new hyperfixation, i'm going to read everything ever written on this ship' read, so my memory is probably not great.

That being said, here's a few of the ones i loved, in no particular order.

Kiss, With Tongue by tamlane. Valentines Day bucket list type bet, does a really good job writing different developing relationship dynamics, equal parts filthy and fluffy.

The Unbearable Tedium of Romance by smokybaltic. "Severus Snape attempts to alleviate the indignity and aggravation of living in a tent with Hermione Granger by throwing his godson into the breach. Sometimes the solution is exponentially worse than the problem." I'm not a Snape fan at all, but this one is hilarious.

Basically everything on the SenLithien collab collection. Amazing art by @elithien, amazing writing by @senlinyu. Good times all around.

Season Pass (To This Ass) by @mightbewriting. Himbo Draco isn't usually my thing, but this art broke me, man.

Contradictions by @ambpersand. Filthy, fun, eventually fluffy, worth the hype IMO.

The Wrong Man by Snegurochka. The only infiedlity fic i've ever really enjoyed. Also filthy (there's a pattern emerging here, isn't there?)

Some filth, some fun and some fluff, all the best F words ;) Happy reading anon!

When Malfoy Met Granger...

Summary: “Wizards and witches can’t be friends, because sex always gets in the way.” Draco regarded her with a secret smile.

“I suppose it’s just as well, then, that we’ll never be friends.”

In 1998 Hermione and Draco share a contentious train ride back to Hogwarts for eighth year, during which they argue about whether men and women can have strictly platonic friendships. They part ways, but then find themselves meeting several times in the years after school, putting their theories from that first day to the ultimate test.

My top 5 LEAST popular fics

Thanks for the tag @the-francakes! I love this idea. taking a moment to highlight my 5 least popular fics, because they deserve just as much love as the rest of my works. Funnily enough, I like these 5 so much more than the top 5 most popular fics. Why is that?

From Sunset to Star Rise (7.5 k, OS): Ron x Harry. Ron and Harry move to New England to get away from the aftermath of war, buy a cozy cabin in the woods, and fall in love under the stars of an autumn sky. Rating: M

In for a Knut, In for a Galleon (30k, COMPLETE): Hermione is in trouble, and Draco has a wild idea that will keep them both safe. A murder, a marriage... and a happily ever after? Gossip columnist Watching Witch is on the case... Written for the “You Know You Love Me” Gossip Girl prompt fest 2022. Rating: M

Lost at Sea (4k, OS): Ron x Harry. Harry is helplessly in love with Ron Weasley, has to watch him marry Hermione and start a family with her, all while Harry spirals into madness, getting with the other Weasleys in order to dull the pain. Will Ron ever choose Harry? Rating: E

Inheritance (14k, OS): Draco Malfoy inherits 12 Grimmauld Place when Harry unexpectedly passes away, but there’s a catch; He has to let Hermione Granger stay. Rating: M

What the Portraits Saw (4k, OS):**Embedded with art by Hero//regretful-prince** Portraits are meant to be seen and not heard, or so you've been led to believe. Verity the Virgin is merely the portrait of a simple girl painted into an unimaginative pastoral scene. Her world is upended when she catches a mysterious thief trying to make off with some Malfoy family valuables. Written for the Double the Trouble Dramione Fest 2022. Rating: M

Tagging @sodamnradd, @pia-bartolini, @niffizzle, @peachpety, @wickermayne if you want to share some of your less-loved but no less deserving fics! No pressure to participate, but it’s there for the taking.

Dear Hermione

Read here on AO3

Summary: Hermione Granger was the one Draco felt he’d wronged the most, and his mind-healer reminded him weekly that a reconciliation with her may be the key to moving forward. Weeks passed, and although Draco kept returning to the scribbled on and scratched out lines of failed apologies, he couldn’t put to words the things he needed to say. So, he didn’t. But maybe he would try again tomorrow...

Hermione and Draco return to Hogwarts after the war and become friends, but the lack of apology weighs on both of them, and Draco finds himself falling in love even as he struggles with reconciliation.

“You and Nev did Herbology together, right?” Hannah prompts with a smile, glancing between the two of them.

It’s second nature to downplay and deny it after all those years of trying to keep her interest in it under wraps. But just now, the solid warmth of Neville’s thigh presses against hers and she feels the shift beneath her ribs, like latches clicking into place and giving space for her lungs to expand normally for once.

“We did,” she says, letting herself meet his eyes for a fraction of a second.

“He told me you were better at it than him, which I find hard to belie—”

“That’s because it’s not true,” Pansy interrupts, turning to Neville. She raises a brow, feigning confidence when her insides are a twisting, pulsing mess of something with a terribly long wingspan. Pixies? Doxies? A fucking hippogriff? “Are you taking the piss?”

Neville shakes his head, eyes bright with mirth though his mouth stays serious. “No, are you? You’re brilliant. Always have been.”

Chapter Two is up! Read it here. 

Lovely mood board by @ambpersand 🥰

[puredramione]

Why do you ship dramione? I don't get it.

I have debated answering this ask for quite some time. However, I am going to be optimistic and assume that you are inquiring why I ship dramione out of pure curiosity.

If not, then please ignore this post as life is really too short to be sat worrying about what someone else is doing with their time. I apologise this may be lengthy.

Now let’s start with how I got into dramione. My friends at school were constantly talking about fanfiction, at the time I was solely a book reader, iPads and tablets didn’t have the lovely new book smell I craved so I didn’t pay it much attention. I read some fanfiction in 2012, mostly as a dare, I had to read a Snape/Hedwig fanfic, that to this day has really “scarred” me. But to each their own. I admire the creativity of that person.

I started reading dramione in 2013, after much debate about what I should read, I had listed majority of the ship names in my head and “dramione” just sounded right. Like that way you feel when the sun hits you. I cannot be certain of what the first fic I read was now. But I know the first multi-chapter I loved was Isolation by bex-chan.

Now, the reason why I ship it, apart from the nice, insanely talented and just freaking amazing people this fandom has? I would say the end products. I can’t even imagine how these people do it but they do and it’s incredible.

I mean why dramione? Great question, but I don’t actually think I have an answer. Is it possible because I’m a hopeless romantic that would love the idea of someone changing their entire belief system to just be with me? Maybe. Do I like to read that someone can love someone despite knowing all the terrible things they’ve done but decide fuck it? However I think I just always love the stories of characters that just shouldn’t work but do, and do so incredibly.

I see a lot of the times people saying that it’s disgusting shipping dramione cause Draco bullied Hermione, that the idea sickens them. However I think we forget that Hermione isn’t a perfect saint either. Girl physically attacked him and in a way fucked with him psychologically in the books.

And not to get too personal. But I’ve been bullied, and not just name calling etc. At school I would eat lunch in toilets (I know how hygienic?). I went out with a boy who hurt me cause I didn’t know any better. But the difference is….this is fictional. It isn’t intended to hurt someone, if anything these works have brought me immense joy when I was at my lowest and maybe that’s the reason why I ship dramione.

(This is where I’m going to do some shout outs, please only spread love and appreciation, NO HATE!)

We have insanely amazing writers (in no particular order):

@ambpersand / @lovesbitca8 / @senlinyu / @indreamsink / @heyjude19-writing / @galfoy / @willhavetheirtrinkets / @mightbewriting / @colubrina / @cleotheo / @floorcoaster / @pacific-rimbaud / everythursday 💔 (I miss H&V everyday) / @rizzlewrites / @misdemeanor1331 / @ravenslightwrites / @magicaltraveler3

The incredible artists of this fandom:

@avendell / @jaxx-in-a-box / @nikitajobson / @enselius / @darrusha-art / @keerthi-draws / @ladykenz347 / @mia-moriarty-art / @abrilas-art / @efinna / @artfleureia / @ayaka-arts

And honestly any creator that contributes to this fandom, they have helped me during some bad times personally with their works and I’ll always appreciate that!

And honestly I can’t even begin to write how lucky I feel to be part of a fandom with these incredible people to look up to. So if you’re interested jump in and enjoy the ride, if you’re not then I hope you find your passion and it’s just as good. We all deserve to find those things in life that bring us joy.

[mightbewriting]

Hi mbw! What have been your favorite reads so far of the year? 😊

hi anon! as always, i'm hesitant to label anything a favorite because i don't love the implied comparison and competition i think it can create. and fic writing is a hobbyist endeavor where i only want folks to feel uplifted, excited, and included! that being said, while i haven't done a ton of fic reading this year, i have done a little. so here are a few i've read and enjoyed (sticking to completed works and in quite literally no order whatsoever)!

happy reading!

One Year

I should be working right now but instead on this gloomy Monday I'm going to be talking about my year in the Dramione fandom and some of the best things I've read.

I very first stumbled upon a Dramione one shot in 2020 by following elithien on Instagram and after being STUNNED by this piece in particular: https://www.instagram.com/p/B-TF75mgQV5/ I read through all of the SenLithien Dramione Collaboration series and was like damn...this is so hot? And works so well???? Why have I never considered these two before??!?! And then kind of forgot about it and didn't really think about them again until my dear friend @princessofmerchants said something like "Okay we've been utterly consumed by the ACOTAR series the last few months, let me feed you a new addiction!!!!" (lol) Me, loving new bookish addictions said SIGN ME THE HELL UP!

And thus I binged Remain Nameless by @heyjude19-writing followed shortly by the Rights and Wrongs collection by @lovesbitca8, The World of Wait and Hope by @mightbewriting, and Manacled by @senlinyu. Likeeeee I'm pretty sure I didn't take a breath between any of those and as you can imagine I was In Deep at that point. To further feed the addiction I joined the Room of Requirement discord server which has been SO fun and have consumed anything and everything @etl-echo-audiobooks has been putting out. Trish's live reads on RoR are the best even if I haven't been able to listen in like I used to.

Honestly instead of continuing to ramble I think I'll just throw in a list of some of my favorite fics I've read in the last year, whether they still be WIPs or completed. This is in no way my full list as that would take me WAY TOO LONG and is in no particular order but I think you'll get the gist:

Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love @isthisselfcare

The Gloriana Set and Darkood Wand @thebemoon

The Disappearances of Draco Malfoy by speechwriter

Bending Light and Falling Dark @scullymurphy

How to Win Friends and Influence People @olivieblake

Bring Him to His Knees @willhavetheirtrinkets

Every single thing by @lazytuesdaymorning (even if most are other ships I don't even care I'm still including since there's one DHr!!!! But seriously go run to read the rest)

I'm just tagging @raven-m-3 because SHE IS A FUCKING GIFT TO THE FANDOM and I love her BDD, naturally

Measure of a Man @inadaze22

Contradictions @ambpersand

The Fallout by everythursday

The Politician's Wife by pir8fancier

Apple Pies and Other Amends by ToEatAPeach

Timesless by @alexandra-emerson

The Memory of You @potionchemist

Love and Other Historical Accidents @pacific-rimbaud

The To-Do List by emilyinwonderland

Carpathian by @niffizzle

Until the Ink Runs Dry by acciomjolnir

AND HONESTLY THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. I'm actually really impressed I remembered to list that many, tbh. Each of these people are such a gift, giving us these things for free and I will cherish them always. And that's not even to mention all of the artists that are out there every day creating SUCH good content. I legit made a separate booksta so that I could share all of the steamy art without my family judging me for it, lol. All this to say, I love Dramione. I will be reading Dramione until I die. Forever and always I will argue that they were meant to be with anyone who dares try to cross me. I can't wait to see what this next year brings me in regards to new fics and someday if I ever get the time, I would LOVE to learn to bind some of them.

Right Hand Red by @lqtraintracks. E, 73k. Eighth year, party games, secret relationship, all with lqt's perfect mix of feelings and heat.

The Claiming of Grimmauld Place by @bixgirl1. E, 74k. Harry needs Draco's help with house magic, as Grimmauld is acting up. Draco comes with a pet tortoise named Francis.

Knead by laughingd0g. E, 83k. I'm biased because it's set in Oregon, but Draco has a coffee shop and bakes, which Harry discovers when he visits Luna/Ginny at their farm outside of Portland. What's not to love?

All Life is Yours to Miss by saras_girl. M, 114k. Rival professors; Harry falls into a coma after they fight, and Draco talks to him. Draco's giant pet beetle Stanley is not to be missed.

The Man Who Lived by SebastianL. E, 253k. Draco lives in NYC and mentors at-risk youth; after he's cursed, he and Harry spend dream states together. Brilliant character study of Draco.

Dramione:

Knee Socks by @purplesugarquills. M, 9.8k. Muggle High School Teacher AU; Draco is the chemistry teacher I always wanted.

Unexpected Best Night Ever by scullymurphy. E, 11.2k. Musician Draco!

Love me in the Dark by Nightmare_Prince. T, 42k. In Azkaban together.

Boardwalk by @indreamsink. E, 68k. Daphne takes Hermione on a trip to the California coast, where she runs into Draco, working on the pier and surfing.

Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love by @isthisselfcare. E, 199k. Hermione straddles the Muggle and Magical worlds as a medical researcher and Healer about to make a big discovery. Draco is an Auror assigned to protect her from forces unknown – to both of their displeasure.

Rare Pair:

Putting Out Fires (with gasoline) by lq_traintracks. E, 13k. (Harry/Teddy). Teddy stays with Harry for the summer and tries to figure his life out. This ship is an indulgence for me.

Every Rare Pair Summer Camp piece. Interconnected rare pairs in a Muggle-AU summer camp setting, by @grangerdangerfics, @provocative-envy, pacific-rimbaud and scullymurphy. (Narcissa/Percy, Millie/Oliver, Hermione/Charlie, Draco/Scabior, Neville/Pansy, Fleur/Remus, Cho/Cormac, Daphne/Padma).

The mightbeaging collection

Birthday fics. Broken into ships into kinks into personal attacks—into in-jokes, roasting, fondness—into moments. Smutty at one end, fluffy at the other. In mightbewriting’s experience, birthday fics, even when simple, had a habit of becoming ridiculous. Stories grew, stretched, multiplied into pairings and preferences that defined whole stretches of measurable delight.

Welcome to the mightbeaging collection in honor of our esteemed friend, the incomparable @mightbewriting. Whether you subscribe to the laws of time or not (I know you don’t you trash-birdlady-goblin) time demands you celebrate another birthday and suffer the shitty graphic I made.

Offered with a smidge of trolling and lots of love, please enjoy:

15 Questions | 15 People

Rules: Answer these 15 Questions, then Tag 15 People

Several lovely people have tagged me, thank you @ambpersand @schmem14 @malpal132

Are you named after anyone? My name came out of a baby name book. My mom’s only requirement was that my sister and I have the same number of letters in our first and middle names.

When was the last time you cried? I don’t usually cry about real life. I’m sure I’ve shed an insignificant tear here or there that I didn’t commit to memory, but I think my last actual cry was while reading Tea & Necromancy by @saveourskinship last fall. And then before that, while reading Timeless by @alexandra-emerson in late 2021ish. If you want me to cry, write me a story about people grappling with their knowledge of impending inexorable tragedy.

Do you have kids? No. See pets.

Do you use sarcasm a lot? I grew up with heavy sarcasm as a love language, but I think my style of humor has changed a lot over time.

What’s the first thing you notice about people? I fear eye contact, so nothing visual. If you tell me your birthday I’ll probably remember it for longer than I remember your name.

What’s your eye colour? Hazel? Brown?

Scary movies or happy ending? I’m practically allergic to scary. Very delicate constitution over here. But my favorite happy endings tend to be laced with perseverance in the face of the unknown, which is itself a certain kind of scary.

Any special talents? I can hand-whip cream in under four minutes with my right hand and under eleven with my left.

Where were you born? I was born in a place full of silent, expansive, majestic beauty. And then I moved to a place with cloistered, fervent energy. I appreciate them both.

What are your hobbies? I enjoy making certain types of things and hate making others. Good: construction projects, simple digital art, low-level coding, writing. Bad: gardening, sewing, physical art projects with lots of supplies, writing. Terrible: finishing anything I’ve started, writing.

Do you have any pets? I do! I love them.

What sports do you play/have you played? Is marching band a sport?

How tall are you? 69 inches. Nice.

Favourite subject at school? I love learning languages, but I can’t really communicate outside of English.

Dream job? I am fairly useless to a capitalistic society. I hoard my marketable skills for my own personal enjoyment.

I am trying to think whose 15Q’s I haven’t seen yet: @oknowkiss @holygnocchi @ellieauthor @chaoticcrumpets @millennialgrandma @forgotten-traveler @whimsymanaged and anyone else who wants to play!!

Christmas Fics 2021 (Part 8)

Christmas Traditions by Grangermalfoy07 - K, one-shot - Christmas traditions & Christmas trees. The Granger-Malfoy family go on their annual Christmas tree trip with their family & friends.

Boxing Day by Lilian_Silver - T, one-shot - Hermione goes to Diagon Alley the day after Christmas, to return a gift that she can’t even stand to have in her home.

All Wrapped Up by ambpersand - E, one-shot - What do you give a wizard who can buy himself the world? Whatever he pleases, Hermione thinks to herself. And she knows well enough that the only thing he pleases is her. _________ Inspired by Mignonettes' art, "Pretty as a Present."

Wishful Thinking by hayjames - T, one-shot - Draco Malfoy never thought he’d be asking Hermione Granger to dance, especially with the added danger of mistletoe sprouting at random, but there’s a first time for everything.

we all stare up at the moon by wmthackeray - not rated, one-shot - Hermione wonders how long it will take her to love him. Not long, she thinks. She's more than halfway there already. draco and hermione find themselves on a mission on christmas eve. it's cold. there is one bed.

Winter Kisses and Woollen Mittens by Megan_P_Cook - T, one-shot - “Scorp! Lyra! Dinner is ready.” The two silver haired toddlers came bounding towards Hermione, barrelled over soft mounds of snow and raced each other towards the front door of the log cabin. They’d spent the majority of the afternoon throwing snowballs and building snowmen with button eyes and carrot noses. Their childish laughter and squeals echoed through the forest of pine trees surrounding the cabin, bringing a beaming smile to their mother’s face. Scorpious and Lyra shuffled through the door, traipsing the fresh blanket of snow in with them. Hermione swirled her wand to tidy up behind them and cast a warming charm around her children as they removed their coats and snow boots. “Daddy!” they both screamed, running with open arms towards a tall blonde standing in the doorway of the kitchen.

Reading: Just Last Night by Mhairi McFarlane and Hummingbird Salamander by Jeff VanderMeer. And probably a lot more fanfic.
