Are You Ready? The Fest Opens In Less Than A Day And A Half! There’s 20 Pre-populated Prompts Ready

from last winter at Hogwarts

Hermione for Remember Us As War (but call us forgiveness)

I’m back with more late night dramione fan fiction rants. So I finished Bending Light by scullymurphy and immediately went into Falling Dark (the sequel) and I’m sooooo emotional like holy crap.

The way Bending Light felt so beautiful and picturesque. Like I get emotional thinking about these child soldiers getting to enjoy a summer of being normal, silly teenagers in a beautiful setting. But then they also can’t even properly chillax because they know they gotta go back to being child soldiers soon like uggghhh. It just hits so well.

And now Falling Dark!!!! The way scullymurphy slapped me in the face with this. I swear I wanna dive into this screen and physically fight Draco for being such a doo doo head like if you don’t stop playing with my girly!!! And just ugh the entanglements are so entangled like omg I keep having to pause to screech like it’s that serious to me. But also I’m obsessed, like, the drama is peak. I know it’s tagged as a happy ending but I just have no clue what could possibly happen to make all of this feel happy at the end like. And I’m not even halfway into it, that’s what’s getting me, like what more do I have to go through??? I’m stressed!!!! (But in a good way). Also I’m so obsessed with Lavender in this series like when she said “I think I need to breathe into a paper bag” I FELT that

Manacled Draco to anyone who harmed Hermione:

I use this drawing as my banner here in tumbler, but I wanted to make a proper post of it.

manacled draco vibes

Honestly I can’t even begin to describe how happy I am to have finally found a fic I really like again. Like, since I’ve become a dramione reader, I feel like after reading the big three (manacled, dmatmoobil, the auction) I’ve read others where I’m like yeah that’s nice but I wasn’t super into it. Lowkey I was thiiis close to just taking a break cause nothing else was capturing me like those did. But a game of high stakes!!!! Is soooooo good. I’m so surprised by how sweet the romance is, like I did not expect to be giggling and kicking my feet like this. I don’t even have words for how much I love the element of shared magic like idk it’s just so sweet to me the way they use it. I’m only about halfway through to be fair so hopefully I continue enjoying it but I know it’s tagged as a happily ever after so I’m not too too worried.
