hogwarts: a home by coralcollective — reimagined horcrux hunt. draco is so down bad for hermione and the smut is crazyyy. theo/hermione friendship. pansy is the breakout character and you'll love her. there's nsfw art and inappropriate use of the malfoy signet ring. please check the tags! (it says incomplete on ao3, but it's only missing epilogues so don't be afraid of starting it)
the commoner's guide to bedding a royal by olivieblake — god, this fic!!!! it's a modern royal au and the ensemble of characters make this whole world feel so alive. it's inspired by will/kate and harry/meghan and it's sooo cute. theo and daphne were the breakout characters and i love them dearly. if you're looking for a lighthearted romcom-esque, occasionally angsty (because duh!) fic, this is it!!! i probably read this in two days which is insane considering the word count, but that should just tell you how lovely this whole fic was. there's a second part to this if you're itching for more afterwards (and it's just as good!)
draco malfoy and the mortifying ordeal of being in love by isthisselfcare — honestly if you haven't read this yet..... this is god tier. a CLASSIC. this should be taught in the schools. hermione's a magical researcher / healer and draco's one of the best aurors out there. he's assigned to protect hermione because she's in the midst of a big discovery. hermione's not happy about it and draco isn't either. slow burn!! idiots in LOVE!! forced proximity!!!!! EMBEDDED ART!!! honestly this is the fic that made me want to learn how to bind which is so serious and if you haven't read this yet you need to.
the disappearances of draco malfoy by speechwriter — this is my new canon. it's a deathly hallows rewrite where draco accepts dumbledore's offer to fake his death and go into hiding with the order. enemies to friends to lovers. i honestly can't even remember what happened in canon because this is IT for me.
this world or any other series by olivieblake — includes clean (book one) and marked (book two). anything by olivieblake should be a must-read, i swear to god. this one starts as a year 6 slow burn. draco and hermione are assigned partners for potions and it all snowballs from there. olivie writes so beautifully and her characterizations for hermione / draco are so good. slight warning for marked: this destroyed me and i pretend it doesn't exist, but it's still a must-read.
rights and wrongs series by lovesbitca8 — you want fluffy dramione? read the first two parts of the rights and wrongs series. you want dark and heavy dramione? read the auction, an alternate universe of the fluffy dramione, where voldemort wins and they all get auctioned off to death eaters. please check the tags for the voldy wins au! all three were chef's kiss and coming from someone who isn't a fan of dark aus, reading the first two helped me get through the auction because you know where draco's coming from / what's in his head. you can just read the auction without reading the first two parts unless you like catching parallels and having more depth / context (which i very much love).
Cover Art for “Bloody, Slutty and Pathetic” by WhatMurdah 🩸💍🧎🏼
You can find the original extremely NSFW version on MY TWITTER. Read the TWs
“She swung on him. He let her. The crack of her fist against his face, the pain shooting from her knuckles to her wrist— Then Harry and Ron were there, pulling them apart. Malfoy’s perfect nose was crooked, blood gushing over his lips, blood smeared across his teeth because he was smiling, laughing in her face. He wasn’t resisting. Ron—the tallest and most thickly muscled of them—had the easiest job. It was Harry—wrapping Hermione up while she nonsensically yelled “I keep my promises, Malfoy!”—who had to plant his feet and jerk her back.”
Excerpt from and Art based on: ‘BLOODY, SLUTTY, AND PATHETIC’, by WhatMurdah
I had to join the trend and create some fanart because this fanfic has me on a chokehold.
I’ve taken some “creative licence” for Draco; the fanfic has him wearing a signet most likely on his pinky, but I wasn’t vibing with it; his tattoo should be on his right but we would have lost it for the art; and lastly, he was not meant to wear a heavy cloak, but alas, he looks delicious in one 🤷♀️
"Immediately, dear."
Bloody, Slutty and Pathetic by What Murdah
Here's a lil fanart of my BSP Draco because I love him so <3
ART POLICY
Gryffindor Draco. Draco and Hermione's childhood friendship is absolutely heart-melting. And the tension >>> So far, greenTeacup has written through fourth year (56 enthralling chapters), with continuing years to come.
6th Year AU. Death Eater Draco & OTP Hermione. Absolutely gutting (but in a good way). Theo has my heart... as well as the rest of me. I honestly haven't stopped thinking about this story since reading it. Everyone needs to read it!
The Order of the Phoenix arranges protection programs for under-aged members... and, of course, the infamous (and fine af) Draco Malfoy. Hot Italian summer, compelling female friendship, and to-die-for love triangle.
She passed the familiar store fronts and came to the corner of Diagon Alley and Horizont Alley. She released the enchantments that Morty had placed the previous evening and opened up. It was a tiny store, but thousands of books were crammed in. It didn’t get nearly as busy as Flourish and Blotts, but Hermione liked the quiet.

Cornerstone is magnificent. Like out of a dream. Her books and clothes and face 😭😭😭
most dramione fanfiction i read because it’s fun and it is a good story to fill the void or i’m waiting, chomping at the bit, for the happy ending.
i’ve never read to remember, because each is so unique and but so similar, it would be impossible to keep them all straight. characterizations, settings, past traumas, all vary widely from fic to fic, however, with each new one, you have to clear your head to for the author to paint you their picture. you have to forget.
(also maybe i want to forget because this is not a part of my life that i talk about with the real world, except for my husband)
but there are fics that i can’t quite forget like
1. manacled by senlinyu (because the horrors and the AU of it all truly scared me, but was so well done and highly regarded…)
2. isolation by bex-chan (a hallmark of dramione, and also highly regarded, but i remember it because it’s long enough that i go back to it time and time again, and because it scratched an itch i have for 8th year fics)
3. all you want also by senlinyu (first omegaverse fic i’ve ever read)
4. season pass to this ass (a unique take on draco’s character)
among others.
HOWEVER:
there is one that has recently taken the cake:
Remain nameless.
this one made me reconsider how i view fic: it’s a novel, a work of art, something entirely new and the characters are their own and the story could stand alone. i loved it truly. and i loved how it made me rethink fic.
the question is: will i remember it?
maybe, but i plan on doing a more diligent reread to commit it to memory.
