God Tier Dramione Fanfics

I've ended up falling down a Dramione rabbit hole. I read some really amazing ones (Wait and Hope and Draco Malfoy and The Mortifying Ordeal of Being In Love are probably my favorites, although Measure of a Man was also PHENOMENAL).

However, I've just finished Manacled. It was so well written and absolutely brilliant, but holy shit on a stick if it didn't break my heart.

The alternate ending to the Battle of Hogwarts was worse than even my panicked teenaged brain could have come up with back when Deathly Hallows actually came out. I wept for characters I've always loved in ways I didn't think I could.

I finished the flashback scenes last night and thought about them all morning, until I forced myself to get back into it and read the rest of the story. Which was still devastating. But honestly.

I am currently drowning my sorrows in Meg Cabot's cheerful writing and then I'll have to reread something funny and familiar. All the people telling me they've reread Manacled, like, HOW?! I need a few years away from it before I could think of rereading.

These are all stunning, but that first dress is what I want to wear if I ever win a really big award. Can you imagine how fucking ethereal you would feel gliding up on a stage to accept an award in this??!

I need more writer friends. I need soundboards. I need to know that my characters aren't driving me insane.

This is wonderful but my god, why do I keep finding the ones that aren't complete?! I want to know what happens now!!

**Joking aside, this is brilliantly written and the slow burn is delightfully built up.

FF:

Oh my gosh I want them. So so pretty! I genuinely wish I had the time to teach myself to bind, because do you know how many fanfic books I'd have on my shelves? And Wait & Hope would absolutely be on the top shelf. That story is just...ah. I love it.

My take on Wait and Hope by @mightbewriting ✨ I was inspired by some versions of the Penguin Clothbound Classics I saw on Pinterest. Wait and Hope was one of the first Dramione fanfics I ever read, and it holds a super special place in my heart. I just want to put this Draco in a little jar and keep him safe 🥹 WAIT AND HOPE is free to read on ao3 — keep fandom free.

@procraftination_customs, thank you SO much for sharing this amazing typeset with us, you’re an absolute angel! 🤍

The book: she was an expert swordsman and a worthy opponent. athletic, strong, etc.

The fanart: we're talking waifish

This is brilliant.

Can we also please stop with trashing on tropes? If you don't like it, don't read it. I've seen so many posts across various social media talking about all of the tropes people don't like, including even in regards to the language used (especially in Romance/Fantasy) and it's frustrating - if you don't like it, don't read it. But stop being an ass about it for the rest of us.
