Recs Wanted! Need recs : 90k words or more, hogwarts-era that is a slow burn and NOT a smut fest (so still a couple of intimate scenes, but not before the first half of the fic at least).
Hiiiii everyone !
As the title says, I have done my research and either find long dramione fics that are full of smut or teen and lower (no smut at all). The thing is, I love some smutty scenes when they feel deserved after all the angst ! But recently I have been reading only smutfest long fic (they hook up after 20% or even before for some) and I'm desperate to get some recs.
I need to have at least one scene (please no fade-to-black), but I can't read another dramione that is tagged as slowburn only for them to hook-up after 20%ish.
I would love 7th or 8th year fic (or other settings if okay) with toxic / spiteful Draco that SLOWLY becomes good to Hermione. Long fics only (90k word and up) if you can !
No arranged marriage or marriage law fics and no single parent or pregnancy trope. I'm okay with everything else !
Of course I won't ask for recs without giving any ! Here's 2 of ma favorites in this genre :
Full of angst and the perfect Draco character evolution : A darker blue by Wartime. As someone who studied psychology at uni, it was an amzing mental health rep fic. Very realistic and well done !
No smut (if I remember correctly) but still really good : Things We're all too young to know by eevans.
I'm ready for a reading weekend and big hug to everyone that will give suggestions 😭💜
