“Fierce predator establishing dominance in her new territory”

(via)

bellonablake

Really, truly, the best Dramione fanfiction out there.

Most of the below contain adult scenes, so proceed with caution. I give the rating listed by each separate site’s rating scheme, so as usual, AO3′s “M” may not be equivalent to fanfiction.net’s “M.” This list will be updated as I continue my forays into the depths of the Dramione fandom. If you have anything to add, message me and I’ll take a look!

One-Shots

Beautiful Enigma by mister_otter [M]

A Victorian historical AU: one of my few exceptions to a general dislike of the Veela fic.

Claiming Draco Malfoy by pagan [E]

Ah, the “marriage of convenience” trope is one of my favorites, and this is one of the best fics I’ve read featuring this little plot device. The emotion is almost tangible.

Dirty Little Secrets by Eilonwy [MA]

The “fake marriage" trope is always a good idea, and this is no exception.

First Thursdays by thesydda [E]

I love the idea of an established Granger/Malfoy friendship, and this nails it.

Graveyard Valentine by Bex-chan [M]

An unconventional structure with an extremely slow burn, if you’re going temporally.

lockjaw by provocative-envy [unrated]

Harry doesn’t wake up in the Final Battle. An AU.

Minimal Risk by galfoy [M]

As Ron and Hermione’s relationship falls apart, Draco courts her one day a year. Draco’s characterization in this is spot-on.

Siren Song by Captainraychill [E]

One of my favorite dark!AUs. The tone and imagery are fantastic.

Strings on us by Arcacia [M]

A dazzlingly abstract and somewhat confusing look at the red string of fate legend.

The Endless In Between by Darkrivertempest [E]

Another historical AU going through multiple lifetimes. I’m a sucker for historical AUs, and this one takes the cake in terms of both breadth and realism.

Viva La Revolution by Rizzle [M]

Seventeen years after Harry dies and Voldemort wins, Draco and Hermione work together to bring him down.

Multi-Chapters

Finished

A Muggle-born Magic by Musyc [MA]

A lovely Regency-era AU, one of the few I like that deal with Scorpius.

Bad Faith by Morrighan256 [M]

Draco and Hermione are forced to work together, and eventually fall in love: this trope is another staple, and this is certainly one of the best.

Cruel and Beautiful World by Lena Phoria [M]

Dark, but so, so good. Contains mention of rape, murder, torture, etc., so be wary if you’re squeamish.

Find Your Way Back by Musyc [E]

Anything by Musyc is amazing, and this is no exception. I love EWE Ministry fics, and this is one of the best.

Isolation by Bex-chan [M]

Another staple of any Dramione fic rec list. My recommended introduction to the wonderful world of Dramione if you’re new to the ship.

The Captive’s Dream by Elysium [MA]

Another Regency!AU, and a fantastic one at that.

The Fallout by everythursday [MA]

Seriously, does The Fallout really need a review? It’s more or less the gold standard of Dramione: I dare you to find a fic rec list without this on it. For once, the hype truly is real. Enough said. It is longer than the first three Harry Potter books combined, so prepare for a time commitment.

The Politician’s Wife by pir8fancier [MA]

Cheating, as well as hilarity. Just amazing.

The Practice of Deceit by Eilonwy [MA]

How To Lose a Guy in Ten Days, Dramione-style.

Thirteenth Night by nelpher [MA]

Another classic of Dramione. Amnesia and ice cream: what more could you want?

We Learned the Sea by luckei1 [T]

One of the few stories I’ve been able to get through without gratuitous smut, which is saying something. Characterization is spot-on, and it’s hilarious to boot.

Unfinished

Bookworm and the Beast by JustRaeInc [M]

Head Boy/Head Girl fics are usually horribly cliché, but this one pulls it off.

Disasterology by provocative_envy [E]

I’m not much a fan of Veela fics, but this is one of the few exceptions. The writing is phenomenal.

Midnight by Kicaelum [M]

One of those fics you almost don’t want to read because you’ll be heartbroken when you realize it’s unfinished. This one is worth it, though.

Tender Vengeance by Margot Le Faye [MA]

For some reason, the captive!Hermione fic is pretty common. I love Hermione and Ginny’s relationship in this.

The Complexity of Carnal Knowledge by AkashaTheKitty [MA]

Draco and Hermione are forced to work together to round up Death Eaters. Smut ensues. One of my favorites by AkashaTheKitty.

4. If the car pulls up to you run in the opposite direction.

5. Walk with your keys in your hands and keep a key between each finger

6. If they put you in the trunk kick out the headlights

7. If you get lost find a woman with a child. Never ask a man for help (this one was drilled)

bando--grand-scamyon

That scream fire piece of advice is literally life saving

8. Watch your shadows and reflections, especially if someone is walking behind you. A split second notice is better than none and will help you.

gaylittlepieceofsh1t

Yes this last one really saves lives y'all I do it all the time

uncleromeo

girls have to learn to view the world like international intelligence agents just to be safe walking down the street. smh.

twilightt-fantasy

guys pls pls pls reblog and girls pls pls pls be safe out there. terrifying and so sad that we have to worry about this on a daily basis

guiltyidealist

(I’m an enby, but, frankly, this is helpful for anyone.)

queerwitched

- always tell someone where youre at and an approx time when youll be back

witcheshaven

Add text replacement words in your phone if possible. Something short and memorable that you can send quickly to people in moments of emergencies.

E.g.

im-actually-ok

I f ing hate that we need to reblog this, people suck, but this will save lives.

DO NOT SCROLL PAST

anonymousmothman

Being female fucking sucks but yes this shit is important for everyone

deadlymodern

Also, do not walk close to walls. It will be easier for someone so walk past you and push you against it or corner you.

If your gut is telling you to cross the street or change your path, do it. Don’t risk it. Your body knows.

If you can, buy a large umbrella and walk holding it. Studies say that predators are less likely to attempt an attack on someone that could fight back. Keys around your knuckles is fine but you’ll need to get very close to do damage. Umbrellas are more precise.

Avoid wearing headphones if you are alone on an empty street. Look aware.

Again: Stay. Away. From. Walls.

Entering an uber alone? Call your father (or anyone you trust) and say “hey dad! Yep, I’m almost there, I’m sending you the route.” outloud. Then proceed to send them the route so they can follow the uber drive. This will most likely intimidate the predator.

If you see someone in an uncomfortable or possibly dangerous situation, walk up to them and say “Betty, oh my god, I haven’t seen you in so long!”. If she gets slightly confused, you can whisper and let her know you’re trying to help and that she should follow along. Walk together to another station or away from where you are. The man will most likely not follow. I have done this one 2 times and can be very helpful.

If you are unsure she needs help, you can pass her a note saying something like “hey, I noticed this man beside you is making you uncomfortable. If you’d like help, fake a sneeze right now and I will come up to you and pretend we are friends.” This is a long note, but its an example. Be discrete. If she follows along, proceed with the previous tip. This is helpful when you’re in a crowded train and you notice harassment.

Help your sisters. Trust them. Trust yourself. Be safe.

goodgirl81

If you ever feel unsafe or need help, anyone is welcome to run upto me and ask me for help! I’ll go all mama bear and keep you safe!!!

I made this google doc covering 14 different self defense tips and tricks. it was made on January 15th, 2020 so it was before I decided I’d come back to tumblr jhjshdbjfh.

EVERY TIME I SEE THIS I REBLOG BECAUSE THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT!!!!!

So, okay, fun fact. When I was a freshman in high school… let me preface by saying my dad sent me to a private school and, like a bad organ transplant, it didn’t take. I was miserable, the student body hated me, I hated them, it was awful.

Okay, so, freshman year, I’m deep in my “everything sucks and I’m stuck with these assholes” mentality. My English teacher was a notorious hard-ass, let’s call him Mr. Hargrove. He was the guy every student prayed they didn’t get. And, on top of ALL OF THE SHIT I WAS ALREADY DEALING WITH, I had him for English.

One of the laborious assignments he gave us was to keep a daily journal. Daily! Not monthly or weekly. Fucking daily. Handwritten. And we had to turn it in every quarter and he fucking graded us. He graded us on a fucking journal.

All of my classmates wrote shit like what they did that day or whatever. But, I did not. No, sir. I decided to give the ol’ middle finger to the assignment and do my own shit.

So, for my daily journal entries, over the course of an entire year, I wrote a serialized story about a horde of man-eating slugs that invaded a small mining town. It was graphic, it was ridiculous, it was an epic feat of rebellion.

And Mr. Hargrove loved it.

It wasn’t just the journal. Every assignment he gave us, I tried to shit all over it. Every reading assignment, everyone gushed about how good it was, but I always had a negative take. Every writing assignment, people wrote boring prose, but I wrote cheesy limericks or pulp horror stories.

Then, one day, he read one of my essays to the class as an example of good writing. When a fellow student asked who wrote it, he said, “Some pipsqueak.”

And that’s when I had a revelation. He wanted to fight. And since all the other students were trying to kiss his ass, I was his only challenger.

Mr. Hargrove and I went head-to-head on every assignment, every conversation, every fucking thing. And he ate it up. And so did I.

One day, he read us a column from the Washington Post and asked the class what was wrong with it. Everyone chimed in with their dumbass takes, but I was the one who landed on Mr. Hargrove’s complaint: The reporter had BRAZENLY added the suffix “ize” to a verb.

That night I wrote a jokey letter to the reporter calling him out on the offense in which I added “ize” to every single verb. I gave it to Mr. Hargrove, who by then had become a friendly adversary, for a chuckle and he SENT IT TO THE REPORTER.

And, people… The reporter wrote back. And he said I was an exceptional student. Mr. Hargrove and I had a giggle about that because we both knew I was just being an asshole, but he and the reporter acknowledged I had a point.

And that was it. That was the moment. Not THAT EXACT moment, but that year with Mr. Hargrove taught me I had a knack for writing. And that knack was based in saying “fuck you” to authority. (The irony that someone in a position of authority helped me realize that is not lost on me.)

So, I can say without qualification that Mr. Hargrove is the reason I am now a professional writer. Yes, I do it for a living. And most of my stuff takes authorities of one kind or another to task.

Mr. Hargrove showed me my dissent was valid, my rebellion was righteous, and that killer slugs could bring a city to its knees. Someone just needs to write it.

Idk if I’ve said this before, but:

There are many reasons to love a book or author. Maybe they are fun. Maybe they have beautiful prose. Maybe they can build a world like ours is on fire and we gotta get out. Maybe they make you ship everyone with everyone else. Maybe they write plots so intricate that getting lost is a joy. Maybe they understand the human experience so profoundly that it helps you understand yourself better. Maybe they make you laugh.

None of these reasons to read or love an author are better than any others. And believe me, readers are smart enough to know why they read.
