In Want of a Wife by ambpersand
In Want of a Wife (4951 words) by ambpersand Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Hermione Granger/Draco Malfoy Characters: Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy Additional Tags: D/Hr Advent 2023, Accidental Marriage, Smut, Binding magic, Pining Draco Malfoy, Slow Dancing, Soul Bond, Solstice Summary:
Through a few forced breaths, Hermione manages to settle her nausea well enough to slide out of bed, squinting at the bright morning light. The braid of ribbons follows her left hand as she pulls the curtains closed, a giant knot of silver and gold that won’t shake free. While she works on unwinding them from her hand and arm, she checks the papers, finding the signatures she hoped they would be too drunk to remember to complete.
Unfortunately not. There they sit, sloppy and side by side.
Her’s a little cramped and rushed, his a little too large and loopy.
Her lungs squeeze tight. They actually did it. At some point between the first glass of nettle wine and the last bottle of Dragon Barrel brandy, it must have stopped being a joke.
She’s still wearing her dress from the night before, which fits the messy carnage that surrounds her. It’s wrinkled and a bit twisted around her waist, but at least it’s not tossed on the floor with the rest of her marriage licence.
The only thing missing is her apparent husband.

@ebbet tagged me (and has tagged me on other things that i'm very bad about doing i'm sorry ilu 🙈 but this morning i want a distraction and this is a lovely one!) - thank youuuu 🌻
last song: Mon amour by Stromae
last book: The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennet - loved loved loved this - scifi/fantasy murder mystery with vibes from so many of my favorite different things (pacific rim, gosford park, tamora pierce's circle of magic, etc.)
last film: Out of Sight - late 90s JLo and Clooney heist situation, LOADS of recognizable people in it, would not necessarily recommend however. Just rewatch Ocean's Eleven.
last tv series: Delicious in Dungeon aka Dungeon Meshi! Greatly enjoying and have also started reading the manga.
last thing googled: genuinely not sure. i have the history of what i've searched turned off on everything? not that it actually makes a lot of difference i know.
last thing eaten: english muffin with apple butter - delish
sweet, savory, or spicy? sweet!
amount of sleep: i really do not function well on very little sleep so generally try for around 9 hours a night. although my sleep is more erratic as i'm getting older so i have more nights where i can't sleep. on bad nights, i have started a try to wind down on the couch, move to the futon to lowkey try to fall asleep, then after being properly asleep move myself to the bed routine.
currently reading: Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennet. i got so excited after Tainted Cup that I decided to start another one by the author and unfortunately i am vibing with this one way less. I'm committed to finishing this book and will def still try some of his other things but i will fully admit that it is currently a struggle.
totally no pressure to do, just if it speaks to you at the moment - @popsiclememories @mightbewriting @waroncars @ambpersand @bgonemydear @sterlingbee @pacific-rimbaud and anyone else who might want to do the thing!

i feel like I overexplain in my fics do you have any tips to stop you are one of my favorite writers!
hello anon!
thank you so much! as a natural underwriter, i don't know that any advice i have will be as helpful as that which @ambpersand shared in response to this ask (and the additional asks she linked) a little while ago.
what i will add is that in my experience as a reader, the places where i most notice what i'd call 'overexplaining' is in exposition, usually chunks of it that feel more like an intrusive aside from the author than a natural progression of the POV narrative. so i think one of the best places to start would be researching writing advice on how to limit and/or more seamlessly integrate exposition into your writing (which usually starts with filtering through you POV).
also, a lot of the time i think writers fear being misinterpreted by their readers so they keep including more and more information to set the scene or justify a character's actions or whatever it may be. i think it's really helpful to get comfortable with 1) assuming your reader is intelligent and will pick up what you're putting down, so to speak, and 2) knowing it's impossible to perfectly convey your exact meaning. like ever. it's never going to happen. what's exciting as a writer is that you get to choose the exact words and phrases that will act as a kind of anchor for your meaning. let those things you do include be interesting, evocative, and limited, then concede that the reader will fill in the rest with their own perspective.
hopefully this was at least a little bit helpful! thanks for the ask anon!

“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 🥰

Bite-Size Dramione - Under 5k (Part One)
These are your bedtime stories, your palate cleansers, your individual serving sizes of serotonin. It’s okay to enjoy these even if you only read slow burn 100k+ fics, I promise. Live a little! 
This is a sampling of some amazing favorites, but I’m always reading new things and will add to it regularly. If you find something you love, I know the author would love to hear it, and so would I! Take a deep dive into their catalog to find other gems. 
Part One below:
Only Dancing by @sunflower-swan. NR, 378 words. Hermione is only dancing. No harm in that. Draco can get jealous or go with it.
Give and Take by @ambpersand. E, 1k. The softness of her curls brush against his thighs, and Draco has just enough slack to widen his knees to get closer to her. She’s everywhere, and it’s still not enough. He needs her to consume him whole. 
Indulge Me by @millennialgrandma. M, 1k. A little eighth year Veritaserum-fueled confession of feelings.
First Kiss(es) and the Path to Forgiveness by millennialgrandma. T, 1.2k. Returning to Hogwarts for an eighth year felt like penance. Kissing Hermione Granger felt like redemption.
You’re Older Now by @simplifiedemotions. T, 1.2k. “I don’t know how to do this,” he says, his breath coming out in harsh gasps. The only time Hermione remembers him being so harried was when she’d first woken up with no recollection of even her own name. She distinctly remembers his blood-shot gaze, the trembling of his limbs, when he asked her if she had remembered him.
Tentative Exporations by @dreamsofdramione. E, 1.2k. What Draco lacks in finesse he makes up for in enthusiasm. 
a cure for headaches by @whimsymanaged. E, 1.3k. Hermione has a headache. Draco has a suggestion. (Hint: It's not a pain potion.)
Some things, however by @frumpologist. T, 1.3k. Officer Granger is annoyed with Commander Draco and finds solace in the ship’s library.
A Full and Careful Analysis by @eveningstruggle. M, 1.3k. “Truth or dare.” Hermione traced her fingers over Draco’s chest, trying to match the pattern he was tracing on her back. “Dare. Wait—no. I need a refractory period first. Truth.” “Hmm…what’s the best sex you’ve ever had?” “That's too easy; it was four minutes ago.” or: Draco and Hermione talk about their past romantic history.
This Singular Night by @misdemeanor1331. T, 1.4k. On their last night in Las Vegas, Hermione asks Draco an unexpected question. He gives her an equally surprising answer.
Love of My Life by @mykesprit. T, 1.5k. A surprising revelation at their anniversary party sends Hermione reeling.
Round and Fluffy by @caitybellfics. M, 1.5k. Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter arrive at the DMLE to retrieve their spouses.
Jealous by dreamsofdramione and @inadaze22. E, 1.6k. Draco isn't possessive. In order to be possessive, one has to have some sort of attachment to another person. There is no such ‘attachment’ to Granger. Sure, he knows the precise way to move his tongue inside of her to make her moan, the shape of her hip under his palm when he fucks her so hard they both see stars, and the exact pitch of her voice when she comes, but he’s not attached to her. This is the lie he tells himself.
Write What You Know by @pacific-rimbaud. T, 1.7k. Prompt: Muggle University Student AU: studying Classics or MFA Creative writing
Counting Days by dreamsofdramione. E, 1.7k. Arithmancy was never Draco's strong suit.
What Was Lost, and What Remains by PacificRimbaud. G, 1.8k. My name is Monica Joan Wilkins. I am 57 years old. I live in Sydney, New South Wales. I share a dental practice with my husband. We've been married for thirty-two years.
What To Do by @willhavetheirtrinkets. E, 1.8k. "I can," she said, smirking at him. "I have that authority. Since you're always going at it quick and hurried, without the slightest attention to detail, I've been given the authority to make certain it's done properly."
Draco ground his teeth. "You can't tell me what to do, Granger."
You Owe Me by musyc. M, 1.8k. Hermione has an anniversary plan.  
Mutually Assured Destruction… by @grangerdangerfics. T, 1.9k. As Head Girl Hermione Granger and Head Boy Draco Malfoy wage an escalating war of aggressive acts of kindness, will it spell ruin ... or romance?
Upper Body Injury by @provocative-envy. T, 1.9k. Hockey AU! "Careful," he says dryly. "Or I might think you're trying to flirt with me."  "Oh, you'd know if I was trying to flirt with you."
"Maybe," he concedes, flicking his hair back with a practiced nod of his head. "But would you?"
Coming in for Landing by @sunlightdaydream. E, 2k. Draco loved flying when Hermione worked. She truly was the best flight attendant he knew. She followed directions to the tee on most days, but even better when she's on her knees before him. Or: It's cockpit porn and he is the pilot.
Inventory of Moments by optimise. T, 2k. Hermione makes a lot of lists. And a list of names just happens to be one of them.
My Brown-Eyed Girl by PacificRimbaud. M, 2.1k. Draco and Hermione have a lazy snuggle in the grass behind the Quidditch pitch.
The Dumbing Down of Love by inadaze22. T, 2.1k. Hermione is an expert at foiling Draco's plans.
Never Have I Ever by @niffizzle. M, 2.1k. With a bottle of firewhisky, a set of enchanted cups, and a game of Never Have I Ever, things turn interesting during one of the final days leading up to graduation. But just how much will be divulged? Maybe some things should stay private.
Two Full Inches Above Regulation Length by granger_danger. E, 2.1k. “Granger.” Malfoy’s voice was an ember in the dark corridor. He grasped her wrist and she almost dropped her jar of bluebell flames. “Your skirt’s not to the bottom of your knees. I may have to take points from Gryffindor.”
A Whole New World by simplifiedemotions. T, 2.2k. Draco takes Hermione out flying.
Passing Notes by @sodamnradd. T, 2.3k. D: Pay you 10 galleons to cover patrol tonight  H: STOP throwing notes at me ferret. And no.  D: 50 galleons?  and so ensues a term of note-passing between Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger
A Pretty Picture by @wickermayne. E, 2.3k. Draco wakes up with Hermione between his legs. Like a good boyfriend, he helps quench her thirst.
hands to myself by whimsymanaged. E, 2.4k. Every Friday night, Hermione goes to her favourite bar with her friends. One of the reasons this bar is her favourite is because she inevitably runs into Draco Malfoy. Tonight, all their flirting comes to a head.
Sucker 4 U by whimsymanaged. E, 2.4k. “You can’t just…casually talk about watching porn,” Hermione hissed, glancing around. “Why not?” Draco raised his eyebrows. “I’ve just discovered it, and I want to tell the world. Anyway, I saw a clit sucker in one of the videos, and I got to wondering how on Earth a contraption like that could feel like someone sucking your clit.”
This Time Tomorrow by sodamnrad. M, 2.5k. On the last night of school, Draco's unchecked feelings for Granger spill through the cracks.
A Different Kind of Magic by @canttouchthis87. T, 2.5k. Draco Malfoy watched Hermione Granger practice her Viola for six years. Returning to Hogwarts after the war, her music offers them both a place of freedom and sanctuary.
Shifting Perspectives by misdemeanor1331. E, 2.5k. Being a woman in a male-dominated profession is hard; being a woman and below average height is even harder.
Passing Notes by @shamione. E, 2.6k. Draco Malfoy has teased Hermione Granger for the last time, tucked away in an alcove with his fingers buried deep inside her. 
Lessons in Darkened Rooms by @raven-m-3. E, 2.6k. Draco Malfoy's eighth year at Hogwarts should have been simple, if unpleasant. Instead he finds himself grappling with a Granger-shaped problem.
A Thousand Ways to Say Sorry by @wordswithways. T, 2.6k. Draco Malfoy goes on a gift-giving apology tour. But a crucial person on his list wants nothing to do with it.
How to Break a Curse by whimsymanaged. E, 2.7k. They only had a small window before the curse took effect. “Run me through it.” Granger swallowed. “We have thirty minutes to have sex that ends with you coming inside me.” Draco clenched his jaw so tightly that it cracked. “What are our other options?” She didn’t sugarcoat it. “Death.”
Caught Wet-Handed by millennialgrandma. E, 2.8k. “Did we not agree, sweetheart, that we wouldn’t?” “Yes, Draco, which is why-” “And were you not the one who suggested, no, insisted, we abstain until the wedding night?”
Draco’s Consolation Prize by emilyinwonderland. E, 2.8k. Head Girl Hermione Granger comforts a moody Slytherin Quidditch Captain.
Feeling This by @echoofpromise. E, 2.8k. The one where Hermione elbows Draco in the nose at a rock show and he likes it
Just Desserts by @thelashjedi. M, 2.8k. Why would you talk to me?  Draco thought, behind a heavy wall of occlusion as he politely, but rotely declined the Head Girl’s offer to join her in the Great Hall, at the newly mixed tables set up in the wake of the war. 
Two Dry Martinis by @darkofthemoonfic. E, 2.9k. “You’re brilliant,” he said, flashing those teeth again. “What did I do before you arrived? And what else might you teach me?” Hermione knew she was blushing so she took another sip of her drink. The gin crisp and just the slightest hint of vermouth — how she liked it. When she flicked her eyes back to the bartender he was watching her. “A fair number of things, I’d expect.”
Pin-Up by whimsymanaged. E, 2.9k. Hermione needs to raise funds for her non-profit. Putting together a calendar of naked Quidditch players seems as good a way as any.
Severn Way by @magicaltraveler3. E, 3k. Hermione didn’t know it but they weren’t going home. They were going to a log cabin far away from anyone that could bother them.
Taste of Affection by dreamsofdramione. E, 3.1k. “You’re doing so well, Pet.”
Savour by @mignon-chignon. E, 3.1k. Draco Malfoy had a dinner to savour, hopefully without any distractions.
Overtime by @scullymurphy. E, 3.2k. Draco and Hermione are working overtime. It's late, they've gotten into the whisky and Hermione's self-control is at an all-time low -- especially once Draco starts rolling his sleeves.
Triple Axel by @batmansymbol. G, 3.2k. “As I’ve said ten thousand times, Malfoy,” she says, unbuckling her helmet, still breathing hard, “you wouldn’t last a second in speed skating.” She tugs the helmet off and her hair springs free. She shakes it back with supreme disdain. “You know what, though? I’m starting to think I’d like to see you try.”
Deal by @its-banannaz. E, 3.3k. It was all a stupid deal, and why she made a deal with Draco Malfoy of all people? She had absolutely no idea. Suffice to say, she lost the game.
Good Girls Get to Sit on Santa's Lap by whimsymanaged. E, 3.3k. On a huge, plush red armchair that the Sigmas must have borrowed (they’re usually green and silver everything) sits a guy dressed as Santa Claus.
Well. He’s got the velvety red pants and the red coat, only the coat is open to reveal a hard, muscular, bare torso, and his Santa hat sits askew atop a pale blond fade.
Just Like the Ones I Used to Know by @acciomjolnir. T, 3.4k. It's 8th year, post war, and Hermione isn't feeling in the Christmas spirit. She's not the only one who has chosen not to go home for the holidays... and when they get into the eggnog, all kinds of things happen.
It’s Draco fucking Malfoy, bane of my existence.
*and it's followup: No Regrets for the New Year. E, 2.7k.
Where You Belong by @ecaworks, raven_maiden. E, 3.4k. When Draco Malfoy shows up at the Burrow over the holidays, Hermione learns she has a decision to make.
Third Time’s a Charm by @monsterleadmehome. E, 3.4k. Head Girl Hermione Granger has been hopelessly trying to seduce Head Boy Draco Malfoy all term, but he just won't get the hint. 
Long story short (it was a bad time) by @ginnysocks. E, 3.4k. Were she and Draco currently shagging like rabbits every chance they got? Yes. Did they still utterly loathe each other? Also yes.
Flat(Mates) by WhimsyManaged. E, 3.4k. Hermione and Draco have been living together as platonic flatmates for years now. Neither have presented, so Hermione’s pretty sure they’re both betas. (Spoiler: they're not betas.)
Respite by canttouchthis. T, 3.5k. Hermione Granger is fine. Or at least there’s no reason for her not to be. But still, she finds respite under the stars, drawn to the night sky.
Mutually Assured Destruction by witchsoup. M, 3.5k. Hermione and Theo find ways to break it to each other gently... it's time to break up.
Continued in Part Two!
Give the authors some love! I also adore hearing if you found a new favorite fic or author.

I must be able to dissect and write a thesis on their work.
I must have lost sleep from their work
The work must be memorable to me and have a lasting effort on me.

Hello! Do you have any favourite works from less known dramione authors that you'd like to share? Or maybe just a oneshot or a WIP that caught your fancy recently and you think more people should read it? I'd love to spread out some more love and support to the smaller dramione creators in the fandom! 💜💜💜
Hi hello! The last time we did this, it led to a wonderful chain of recommendations, so maybe we can do that again! If you're reading this, feel free to add on some of your favourites! I'll try to tag a few writers whose work I've read recently but I'm certain I'll miss some because we have such a massive wealth of talent in this fandom. I do want to clarify that some of these writers may be more prolific or better known than others, so they aren't necessarily all smaller creators, but hopefully I'll cover a range.
I had the honour recently in participating in a Write This In Your Style collection hosted by @ambpersand with a really talented group. We all took on the prompt "Caught Wanking" and the results were amazing and unique. Here's that collection. There are always a lot of other fests going on if you peek around tumblr and twitter, and that's a great way to find newer writers.
Some specific dramione authors whose work I've enjoyed recently: @catmintandthyme @morriganmercy @sodamnradd @darkofthemoonfic @sweetestsorrows @adasttrawrites There are so many more and I can't list everyone - but I also want to mention that there are a ton of dramione creators on dhr twitter posting drabbles and short fics on a regular basis, so check that out too! Thanks for the ask. I hope this helps!

Your writing is so good, and it feels like you are a published author who have written romance before, and because your smut is realllllly quality smut i want to see what else you've written and get more of those steamy scenes! So can you recommend anything? Maybe one of your published works? And maybe another hp fanfic that's steamy and well thought out?
hi anon!
I am not a published author, just a gremlin with an overactive imagination held captive by HP and dramione. Everything you see on my ao3 profile is what I've shared thus far with the world. Your message was so sweet, I really appreciate that you enjoyed my writing that much.
Since you said hp fanfic I’m going to extend beyond dramione. Enjoy some hot, well-written fics:
First, a self-rec, if you haven’t already perused, I teamed up with two of my favorite writers and people (fellow smut peddlers @mightbewriting and @niffizzle) for A Delightful Descent into Depravity. You’ve got 31 filthy mini fics here with all different kinks and a variety of ships: dramione, drarry, dreville, dronmione, sirmione, nottpott.
Parkweasel (Pansy/Percy) The Secretary by @pacific-rimbaud. Not only one of the hottest stories I’ve ever read, but the writing is chef’s kiss all the way through. Run, don’t walk to read this one.
Drarry (Draco/Harry) I’ve only really dipped my toe into this ship but what I have read, I’ve really enjoyed. Crown Witness by @slytherco has been my favorite so far. Draco's first line to Harry in chapter 2 is guaranteed to make you snicker.
Theomione (Theo/Hermione) Tying the Nott by shayalonnie. I have fallen hard for this version of Theo my god. This was not a ship I ever saw myself reading, but shayalonnie got me with this one. Bonus: it features a DELIGHTFUL side pairing of Draco/Luna.
Dreville (Draco/Neville) All This and Heaven, Too by meansgirl. An excellent post-war healing dynamic. They're both so sweet in this one. We need more dreville in the world, please, such an underrated pairing.
Dramione (Draco/Hermione) finishing off with a few one-shots, multi-chaps and WIPs: Well Said, Hermione by @mightbewriting Tin Angel (can’t stop, won’t stop recc’ing this one, it is an all-time fave) by AraLuna Voices Drifting by @raven-m-3 Looking Glass by @kyonomiko Mutually Beneficial by orphan_account Sex Ed by MrBenzedrine89 Contradictions by @ambpersand
Thanks anon, hope you haven't read some of these!

Never Odd or Even (collection)
Author: ambpersand
Rating: M
Genre: veela!draco, smut, post-war AU
Never Odd or Even
Summary: Time can be a tricky thing. Too much, or never enough.
When Draco Malfoy presents as a part-veela and realizes Hermione Granger is his mate, the clock starts ticking.
She agrees to give him six months to learn what it might be like as his mate. It should be enough time to research and study and catalogue her thoughts and feelings to make the most informed, rational decision.
But unlike time, you can't quantify love.
READ HERE
Devoved
Summary: With slow movements, she pulled the form closer, dragging her eyes away from the man she loved and down to the parchment. At first glance, it looked normal. Completely standard, with all the right boxes checked. Nothing seemed amiss, and his penmanship was as neat–
MARRIED?
Hermione’s heart flipped. Her breath caught. Instead of being marked with a check in the NO column, there was a question mark.
Right beneath the YES.

20 Opening Lines
Thanks @thusatlas and @senlinyu for the tag!
Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have fewer than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favourite opening line. Then tag some people to take part.
Mine will be a combination of fic and original work, published and not, roughly the last 20 things I’ve worked on. 
A Season for Setting Fires (fic): “She’s pleading and Draco can barely stand it.”
here there be chaos (fic): “On the day of her late husband’s funeral, Narcissa Malfoy is free for the first time in her life.” (this one’s a bit of a cheat bc it’s technically a collection with seven different stories but shhhh we’re counting it)
Untitled RomCom (original, co-authored with @ambpersand): “This is how I die.”
Love in Idleness (fic, also co-authored with @ambpersand lol): “Time moves differently at the Burrow.”
Running Wild (Original): “Vomit dripped down the side of Lucy’s favorite shorts, perilously close to crossing the boundary between fabric and skin, when her childhood—and teenage, and early adulthood—nemesis walked back into her life.”
Untitled Project 1 (fic): “Grimmauld Place looked different.”
Thirty-Seven Years (fic): “Astoria Calliope Greengrass is born in August when the weather is warm, heavy.”
Untitled Project 2 (fic): “Hermione coughs up smoke.”
Untitled Project 3 (fic): “Hermione nearly snorts her afternoon tea out through her nose.”
Nightfall (original): “Insanity is a mailbox.”
Don’t Make Deals with the Devil While You’re Drowning (original): “Grace probably should have died when she had the chance.”
Rapid Decay (original) “A dim flame sways in the oil lamp as Maggie watches, waiting.”
Love in Other Places (fic): “Caught in a bizarre middle ground between frowning and grinning, Hermione reread the meeting summons in her hands.”
Lie with Me (fic): “You think we should what?”
Guidelines for the Treatment of Non-Wizard, Part Humans (fic): “Malfoy Manor looked worse now than it did during the war, which seemed a backwards thing.”
A Delightful Descent into Depravity (fic, co-authored with @heyjude19-writing and @niffizzle): “She’d thought she could do this.” (also something of a cheat bc this is a 31 part collection where we rotated days lol. i picked the first line of my first entry in the collection.)
Overwhelming Evidence (fic): “I’m nervous.”
Rendezvous Receipts (fic): “Harry stood, studying the row of receipts lined up atop his dresser.”
Scone Strategies (fic): “Granger.”
The Couch Collection (fic): “I’ve been robbed.” (opted for the most recent entry in this collection)
My favorite? I think I’m partial (and biased) to some of my original works. It’s probably a tie between Running Wild and Nightfall for very different reasons.

hi! I recently read a fic that I think was on AO3- Peeta was a Dom that Joanna recommended to Katniss. Joanna took her to go lingerie shopping and Peeta was upset about it. I’m sure it was new but I can’t find it anywhere. Tysm!

thanks for tagging me @heyjude19-writing and @ambpersand! this should be hilariously simple considering the fact that i first started posting in march of this year, but dammit, i want to participate too.
How many works do you have on AO3?
2
What’s your total AO3 word count?
38,445
How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
Harry Potter is my one and only so far
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
I only have two fics but The Healer’s Guide to Transfiguration has more kudos than Devil’s Snare All the Way Down
Do you respond to comments, why or why not?
I do! Eventually, at least. My favorite part of AO3 is the community and the comments I get literally make my day, so I figure a response is the least I can do. It’s also an excellent activity to catch up on when I’m doing everything in my power to procrastinate writing :’) so I understand why other, better disciplined authors don’t have the time 🤣
What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
I don’t really do angst. Or if I do, it always resolves before the end because while I enjoy occasionally reading it, I’ve found that the process of writing it is Not My Thing. That being said, Devil’s Snare will objectively have an angstier ending. 
Do you write crossovers? If so what’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Nope! 
Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Does the comment “wait, what???” at the end of Healer’s Guide count? Probs not, lmao. I don’t think I’m established enough to ruffle any feathers, honestly.
Do you write smut? If so what kind?
I do. As for what kind it is, uhh. The kind I like to read? Whatever it is, I can’t help but add humor to it and try to make it somewhat realistic just because that’s what I personally value in those kinds of scenes.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Don’t think so (knock on wood)
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope! I’m kind of dying for somebody to translate something of mine into Russian since I speak it much better than I write it.
What’s your all time favorite ship?
Dramione, probably
Whats a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
Nothing in fanfic. Especially if I’ve started posting it, I’m going to finish it. Original fiction, however 🤐
What are your writing strengths?
Dialogue, character development, pacing
What are your writing weaknesses?
Plotting and sticking to a writing schedule 😮‍💨
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
I think there’s an annoying way to do it and an interesting way to do it. Will not be elaborating on that 🤠
What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Harry Potter
What’s your favorite fic that you’ve written?
Tough to say! I’m so new to writing fanfic that literally everything I do is experimental. I had the most fun writing Healer’s Guide. I’m proudest of the emotional complexity of Devil’s Snare. The Charlie x Lavender side project I’m working on is weirdly the most personal I’ve done even though it’s bizarre and a bit out there, and that makes it special to me too.
