Jane Austen and Jason Todd

Thank you to everyone who has posted elaborate headcanons about Jason's love for Jane Austen. I have yet to pick up my copy of Pride and Prejudice but I still wrote two whole essays on Austen and my professor is thinking about nominating me for an award :)

So I just wanted to thank the Red Hood community for this opportunity lmao

Netflix and Chill

[draco x hermione] ▪️ summary: draco needs to clarify what they are, exactly. hermione enjoys watching him squirm. ▪️ warnings: college au.

He nosed her temple. She pretended not to notice. She tried to remember what they were watching. What was it? There were people in it, and something was certainly happening to them, but Hermione couldn't quite be sure what that was. His hand brushed against her knee, tickling a questioning trail up her thigh.

"Padma is still awake," she murmured.

"Argh." He huffed and his forehead fell to her shoulder. She shifted and put her back to him, allowing him to hook his leg behind her. Hermione leaned back against his chest with her favorite fleece blanket pulled up. Draco wrapped his arms around her waist. He sighed dramatically. "You know, most people invite their boyfriend over--"

She snickered. "Ooh, boyfriend, huh?"

"--to watch Netflix and then they... do things, and don't get me wrong, I like watching... this show about American politics, I do--"

"But you'd rather do... things," she said with a laugh, which was tinged ever-so-slightly with nervous energy.

"No, I... nevermind." He hugged her tighter and tucked his chin over her shoulder. "I guess I'd rather watch something that I'm more... interested in. So I stop thinking about what I'd like to do. To my girlfriend."

"I think what you want to do is talk about being my boyfriend." She rubbed his hand and turned her head, but he was squeezing her so tightly that she couldn't turn all the way. Instead, he was gripping her like she might float away if he let go.

"Um, yeah. So..." he cleared his throat. "I've been thinking about it a lot lately. And. I come over here every night, basically--"

"Yeah, about that--I think I'm going to start charging you rent--"

"And," he emphasized, tickling her waist and making her squirm. "I think we both enjoy being... not clothed together."

"Having sex, you mean."

"Yeah."

"Say it."

"Having... mutual orgasms, in the same bed--"

"I can't believe you can't say the word--"

"Sex! Fine! We have sex! A lot! I love having sex with you! Sex, sex, sex!"

Padma's door cracked open and Hermione paused the tv. "Hey Padma," Hermione said innocently. Draco tried to hide behind the explosive wall of Hermione's hair.

"Hey," Padma said, eyebrows raised. "Sounded like someone was doing a dramatic retelling of a PornHub plot out here. Thought I'd investigate in case someone was using my blanket as a prop." The exhausted pre-med student studied her roommate on the couch with an air of amusement, mostly at how mortified Draco was.

"No worries. It was just that episode of the West Wing where Sam Seaborn yells about sex."

"Right. The Sex Episode. I'm familiar." Padma snorted. "But really, give me back that blanket."

Hermione clutched the purple blanket to her chest. "This blanket is my best friend!

"I'm hurt!" Padma clutched her chest.

"You don't get to be hurt, you chose med school over me three years ago. Besides," Hermione said, thumbing over her shoulder at Draco, "I've replaced you with Sam Seaborn, here. Boyfriends trump best friends, so."

"Boyfriend, huh? Congrats. Since when?"

"Apparently it's recent. He just told me."

"Are you both quite finished?" Draco grumbled from beneath the curtain of Hermione's hair.

Padma grinned. "Goodnight, lovers. I'll be putting in my earplugs in roughly two minutes, so... have at it, I guess." The door to Padma's room shut and locked behind her.

Hermione wiggled out of Draco's grasp and sat up on her knees, turning to face him on the couch. He was red and looked quite sad, truth be told. "Hey," she said, touching his cheek. "I really, really like you. You know that, right?"

He smiled from only one corner of his mouth. "You do?"

"Yes, you idiot." She laughed. Then, she kissed him softly. "I'm happy to be your girlfriend."

"You are?"

Hermione groaned, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Sweet, sweet, sad boy. I call you if you're even two minutes later than I expect you. I changed my schedule so we could take European History together. I just... I'm not big on labeling things, but I see that you are, and I'd do it because I would do... anything for you." She sat back from him. He pushed his hair off his forehead.

"Would you... watch something less... chatty?"

She laughed. "Sure. What's your fancy?"

"I'm not sure. Something calming."

Hermione stood off the couch and held out her hands to him. "Let's just go lay down and watch something on my phone. It's getting late, anyway."

He took her hands and stood. Draco kissed her softly. "I have to say, I feel relieved."

"It's not called 'Netflix and Chill' for nothing." Hermione grinned, pulling him towards her room.

"'Mione... you know that's not what Netflix and Chill means, right?"

"...you take me way too seriously." She tugged him into her bedroom, which had somehow morphed in about six months' time into theirs, and shut the door. They didn't get around to watching much of anything.

[real-jane]

So uh.... this piece inspired much of this latest installment of Relentless!! It’s so gorgeous, so emotional and still magical. LOVE.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/28996227

My very first attempt at Hermione Granger! Definitely wanting to do more HP fanart now 👀

This is another dtiys entry - organised by flyora.art on Instagram. The original post is here and the challenge was to draw Hermione wearing her boyfriend’s coat 🤫

[real-jane]

After Grief

[draco x hermione] ▪️ summary: draco doesn’t want to sit with his grief. hermione is willing to help. ▪️ warnings: minor character death, hurt/comfort. hospital au.

It had begun as a sort of dare. Lean in. Feel something. How close can you get? Are you afraid to let me see it?

“You’re safe here,” she said finally.

“You grossly overestimate how much I care,” he said, shoving her away from him. But he shivered. She countered, leaning over him as unruly tendrils of her hair tickled his shoulder, placing her hands on his shoulders to comfort him.

Then, she knelt between his knees. Challenging him to give in to being comforted. She ghosted her palms up his arms. He whimpered.

“It’s okay to cry,” she whispered.

“I know that,” he spat. Contrary to his ire, he doubled over, accidentally butting his head into her shoulder. She cradled his head in the crook of her neck. He didn’t fight her. He wanted to--Merlin how he wanted to throw her away to a safe distance and run as far as his legs could take him. Instead, he smothered himself in her rose-scented blouse and wept.

For his mother, for the one who had fought to keep him alive.

For the life she could have had if only his father had loosened his grip.

For not being there with her as she fought for her life in St. Mungo’s, because he was on assignment overseas.

But someone had been there. He gripped her robe so tightly the seams strained. “Why did it have to be you?” His voice was muffled in her shoulder. She cupped his head, smoothing his hair. She said nothing, but her free arm snaked around his waist and embraced him fully. “I should have been here.”

“She wasn’t in any pain,” Hermione said. “She asked to be comfortable.”

“I don’t want to know.”

“Every night before bed, Healer Lovegood read her the Prophet. Only the fluff pieces, of course, but she loved the gossip columns.” Hermione smiled against his hair. “One time you appeared in a brief footnote after going out with Blaise Zabini and she had me cut out the article so she could press it in her book.”

He pulled back and frowned at her. “I hate to think what it said.”

“Nothing terrible. She didn’t much care either way. Your name was in print, and she was proud.” Hermione sat back on her heels, but Draco’s hands shot out and grabbed her elbows for purchase. She compromised and gave him her hands to worry instead. He finally breathed in a ragged, conciliatory breath.

Draco shook his head once. “You’re probably dying to get back to your rounds. Away from all this… heaviness.” It wasn't an apology so much as an out.

“I’ve got you.” She touched his cheek.

Only then did he look up at her. She had caramel irises, which shone from unshed tears, rendering them closer to gold in the lamplight. Her long hair was unruly, yes, but it also cascaded over her shoulders in wild, winding curls, pulled back at the temples to keep her mane off her face. She wore her white healer robes, and a lovely black blouse, which he knew was silk from the slide of the fabric against his forehead. She was still kneeling at his feet. Just… looking at him. She had nowhere to be but there .

Draco grasped her shoulders. His face contorted--something about seeing her emotions safely contained made his feel inauthentic. “How do I... “ He sniffed. He shrugged. How would he take his next breath? Stand up from that chair? Eat his next meal… without his Mother.

“I know a place with great midnight pancakes,” Hermione said.

“I’m not hungry.”

“You’ll eat,” she insisted. Hermione stood and he released her robes reluctantly. But she held out her hands to him and urged him to stand. “Come on.”

“I don’t know.”

“Doctor’s orders. Up, up.” Hermione grabbed his elbow and tugged. It took all of his energy to rise to his feet, but once he did, he towered over her. She straightened his coat, which had crawled up to his ears when he had collapsed into the chair beside his mother’s empty hospital bed.

Someday, I will kiss this woman, he thought, squaring his shoulders. Part of him wanted to do it now, but it felt cheap in the aftermath of grief.

Healer Granger led him through the hallway to the lifts, down two floors, and into the caf. The hospitals small restaurant served food at all hours, thanks to the dedicated house elves. They did indeed serve pancakes at… well, it was nearly twelve-thirty in the morning by the times they reached the buffet. She chose a table off in the corner for them to sit at and positioned the seats so his back was to the room. She said nothing. He just stared at his plate… until a deep groan sounded from his belly.

He picked up his fork, and… he took a bite.

Never again would he have to wonder what food would taste like without Narcissa Malfoy living on the planet… which sounded absurd in his head and still felt dire. But pancakes still tasted like… syrup and sugar, and butter. Somethings stay the same.

Hermione folded her hands together and braced her elbows on the table. Only then did he realize that she hadn’t gotten anything to eat.

“You should eat something,” he scoffed.

She shook her head. “I’m fine.”

“You’re knackered. It’s obvious.” Draco pushed his plate across the table to her; the porcelain still bore two pancakes, which he had drizzled in syrup. Part and parcel with drowning his sorrows.

“I am well,” she laughed softly, pushing the plate back to him. “But thank you for your concern.”

He sat back and fear crossed his face. “You’re… just. Here.”

She nodded.

“...Why?”

“Because I know that the hardest meal to eat after you lose a parent is the first one. The hardest… anything. And I had to do it alone. But you shouldn’t have to.” She sniffed and looked away, breaking the self-assured gaze down into a twisted grimace.

Draco leaned forward. He felt teasing words pushing at his lips, but he bit his tongue.

He reached out both hands.

She took them.

Book Club discussion of Dramione fanfic “My Insides Are Copper” by realjane is happening this weekend.

[dramionecommentfest]

Dramione Comment Fest: Assignments!

THE FEST IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you to all 81 readers and 34 authors who are participating, this is beyond my wildest imagination for this fest 😭 I am thrilled to announce that groups are organized and the fest is LIVE! All you lovely people have until March 15 to read your fics and leave comments. 

A few rule reminders before we begin:

You must leave at least one comment per AO3 chapter

Your comment must include “Comment left as part of the Dramione Comment Fest” 

Based on the emojis, you will know whether to leave your reviewer only WARM FUZZY comments (🥰) or have the option to leave CONCRIT comments (🤓).  A note on concrit (constructive criticism): Authors have requested concrit *only if you have something productive to share* and fic-bashing will NOT be tolerated. For tips on how to give helpful concrit, I recommend checking out this post or this one. And if you don’t have any feedback on their writing, a warm fuzzy will always do! 🥰

A Few More Notes on Fest Structure

Because I really don’t know how to be brief. Okay, so! As this is Edition 1 of the fest this is all a bit experimental. I divided all the readers into groups of 5-6 based on reading preferences. I then assigned each fic to two groups (so each fic will be read by 10-12 people). I’M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT HAPPENS NOW. I’d love for this event to be interactive & community-building-y so I welcome any and all ideas of how to make that happen. Some of my ideas:

Screenshot a comment you leave and post it on tumblr. You can tag the other readers in your group or the author to chat about the fic! Tag this account & I’ll reblog it. You can use my *professionally-made* header image if you like.

Reply to other DCF readers in the AO3 comments and have lovely conversations about the fic there.

I don’t want to admin a Discord server/Facebook group for this fest but do you???? Let me know!

????? Seriously any more ideas are welcome. Tag me & I’ll reblog so other fest-ers can see!

And without further ado....the groups!

Awe. It’s my silly oneshot for @pink-wednesdays ❤️! Yay!

hi!

i’m looking for a smutty one shot where h and d are aurors and h has liked d for a while but she doesn’t know if he likes her back. they share a small bed at a hotel and d moves to the floor at one point because he can’t handle being next to her.

thank you!

This:

For Science - realjane - E, one-shot - Hermione wants to climb her Auror partner like a tree, and she has to win a bet… two sexually repressed partners, one small bed, one… disturbance. It’s a recipe for the perfect science experiment.

Best Shot by AccioMjolnir [Mature, 24k words]

Summary: It's eighth year and Hermione is trying to navigate her post-war friendship with Draco Malfoy and a relationship with Ron Weasley when she gets an unexpected visit from someone who knows her better than anyone: herself.

Amateur Cartography by worksofstone [Teen & Up Audiences, 21k words]

Summary: That one-night stand with Draco Malfoy was a mistake. Hermione doesn't make mistakes, or at least she isn't supposed to. She's working hard at her Ministry career, however frustrating and pointless her job may be, and she's also got to live up to everyone's expectations as Hogwarts's most famous Muggle-born and a top-tier War Hero. So, why is she still sleeping with Draco Malfoy, ex-Death Eater and infamous pureblood? And why isn't she certain that she wants to stop?

A Muggle-born Magic by Musyc [Mature, 50k words]

Summary: Regency-era AU. Physician's daughter Hermione Granger finds herself in need of a way to pay off her father's debts after his death. Draco Malfoy, retired from the politics of the Isolationists, a group of pure-bloods bent on separating 'true' magic from lesser folk, finds himself in need of a tutor for his son, Scorpius, who appears to be incapable of magic and must learn to survive in a world without it. Draco also needs a wife and mother for Scorpius, to satisfy a promise to his unwell father. After she saves his son from an attack by Isolationists, Draco hires the Muggle-born Miss Granger for the former, and after a riot in Vauxhall Gardens and a scandalous discovery made by his mother, weds that selfsame Muggle-born for the latter. While making the best of her marriage of (in)convenience, Hermione discovers that Scorpius' history of wild imaginings and dreams is more than just imagination. As she attempts to teach him about magical abilities no one expected he would ever have, she and Draco work together to raise Scorpius and learn to trust each other.

Fallin' (Adrenaline) by LeilahMoon [Teen & Up Audiences, 4.5k words]

Summary: When Professor McGonagall encourages all Hogwarts students to participate in a mentor scheme designed to promote inter-House unity, Hermione Granger is thrilled; she can’t wait to embrace the opportunity for further education.

The Two Sided Triangle by Canttouchthis [Teen & Up Audiences, 5.2k words]

Hermione finds herself grinning. “Cutie. Q-T. That’s the answer to the riddle. You’re a cutie, Malfoy.”

[the one where someone leaves Draco Malfoy riddles to solve from the local coffee shop's community board and he enlists Hermione Granger for help.]

Height by senlinyu [Explicit, 8.7k words]

Summary: “Tall? That’s what you think I should notice about Malfoy? His height?”

Ginny quirked an eyebrow and licked the tip of her quill suggestively. ”Well, isn’t that your thing? Lockhart. Krum. McLaggen. Ron. The only thing they have in common is being tall enough to give me a neck ache.

”Hermione felt her ears grow hot, and she gripped her book tighter. “I don’t have a thing for tall men. Their height is—completely coincidental.”

Dramione Height Differences Minifest 2020.

Diamond Heart by artemisgirl [Fiction T, 8k words]

Summary: When Hermione approaches Draco Malfoy proposing a fake relationship between the two of them as part of a scheme, he's eager enough to participate - the potential benefits outweigh any costs on his time.

The Spring’s Chosen by artemisgirl [Fiction T, 5.5k words]

Summary: A golden unicorn appearing on the Malfoy grounds sends the Manor into a flurry of activity, to the confusion of one Draco Malfoy. It's just a unicorn that happens to be gold - isn't it? DMHG  

Courting Customs Most Sacred by HeyJude19 [Twoshot, Mature, 15k words]

Summary: Published in 1862 by Lady Apollonia Nott, Courting Customs Most Sacred is the comprehensive text for any pureblood family seeking to arrange suitable matches for their children. It’s also patently ridiculous and not at all appropriate for the modern era of dating. It is certainly not how one should woo Hermione Granger, at any rate.

— ON-GOING/WIPs;

Come Let Us Adore Him by thiscitychickk [Not Rated]

Summary: Hermione Granger scoured the subreddits, perused the checklists, and read virtually everything possible on how to be an all star Congressional intern and staffer. She had her job responsibilities well in hand, but instructions on how to handle the attention of an upstart Congressman Draco Malfoy were nowhere to be found. US politics AU: Congressional staffer Hermione, Congressman Draco

and with you, i fall by passionesque [Mature]

Summary: With Narcissa Malfoy striking a deal for her family — protection for information, the last thing anyone wants is Draco Malfoy seeking refuge within the heart of the Order. 

It would’ve been easy, Hermione thinks. So easy for her to hex him back to Voldemort’s clutches for all that he’s said and done, but being the bleeding soft-hearted Gryffindor she is, she doesn't.

* * * * *

“You should hate me,” he murmurs, flicking his gaze to her from beneath his lashes. 

She should, Hermione knows this. She really ought to hate him, but the memory of the haunted look in his eyes and the hoarse screams of his nightmares echoes through her mind and eases the storm in her heart.

She doesn’t. She can’t.

“You’re right,” Hermione says soberly. “I should. But I don’t.”

Post HBP. Canon-Divergent. HG/DM.

Love In A Time Of the Zombie Apocalypse by andgladly [Mature]

Summary: After Voldemort, there was this. The clock is ticking to create a cure to the unimaginable horror that currently grips the world. Hermione finds herself unwillingly allied with the most hated man in Wizarding Britain.

The Alkahest by Shadukiam [Mature]

Summary: The Marriage Law, once enacted, has the power to destroy Hermione's perfectly normal life. Luckily, she and Ron are already planning to obey the horrific law together as a team... Until a Malfoy-shaped wrench gets thrown into the works. Dramione.

Draco regretted several moments in his life, some within his control, some without: all of them irretrievable in nature. At a certain point, wedged between ‘what-ifs’ of his own devising, he’d stopped trying to keep track of those regrettable moments: now and then, pushing and pulling, coming and going, beginning and end. Moments were only moments for just as long. After that, he had no control.
