I have an explicit WIP fic titled Futuo Nympha. This fanfic is smutty, with obsessive Draco Malfoy and infidelity, but never between Draco & Hermione. It will contain some light Ron bashing, because nothing brings me more joy. Multiply chapter; I’m not sure how many yet. Please check the tags (they are updated), and I hope you enjoy them. I am working on the sixth chapter on-top of some of other projects, hopefully to be uploaded by the end of the month. Mopsy is my new favorite, lol.

Recently started revising and reuploading Counting the Stars, a Voldemort Wins AU fic I wrote a couple years ago. ♥️ My writing has improved a lot and I can't wait to see where the revision takes me this time around!
Tumblr media
Harry is dead. Voldemort is King. Narcissa is dying and Hermione is the only one who can help. After five years of running and losing the last people she loves, Draco offers her sanctuary in exchange for her experimental healing brew.
Poisoner to the King, Draco is dangerous and slightly unhinged, tolerating her presence as much as he despises it. Hermione is carrying dark secrets that she's doing her best to forget, but her volatile interactions with Draco threaten to destroy the walls she's so carefully built around them.
But Draco's hiding secrets of his own. Secrets with cerulean scales, tiny sharp teeth, and little leathery wings.
Things may seem bleak in Voldemort's dark world, but Hermione won't stop fighting to survive until she runs out of stars to count.
[REVISION & REUPLOAD]
Chapter 2 coming tonight or tomorrow morning :)

“You saw me leave and you followed? We haven’t seen each other in 16 years and you just, what, decided to follow me to our old snogging spot for old times sake?”
“I… uh… no. Ok I’m sorry, Hermione… I just wanted to say…”
“Yes? What do you want to say to me?”
“Hi?”
Hi reader,
Posting this here because I have recently rekindled my Dramione obsession thanks to booktok and want to share some of my work. Read the above if you love adult Hermione/Draco reunions, long lost love, heartbreak and 'living in the fantasy', even just for one night.
Always love to hear from you if you enjoy my work :)
xoxo,
El

The Fallout “commentary” (inner thoughts, NOT a review or critic)
Day one: Dude, The Fallout is soo confusing, like how did you guys manage? I can’t make up some of the scenes in my head, it’s so vague and then so specfic and jumpy. I’ve never read something like it.
It’s so hard to keep track of the days (do they mean anything besides just to count them?), i have to keep looking back. And the narrative - my poor non-native english brain is finding it hard to comprehend…
But i can’t.stop.reading!
It’s so riddling I keep coming back to it for more.
79 pages in- did anyone find it as confusing?
Day two: i take it back, it just got so fucking goooood ~ who cares about the day count lol
Day four: ok this is becoming a post about the wild journey that The Fallout has become for me; i’m about 100 pages in, and my god, it’s still confusing, but it’s got me tight by the ovaries. Jesus christ take the wheel… will update later
Day six: so i’m about 250 pages in and it’s becoming more like a proper thing, like more of a steady narration and i’m loving it, i’m not as lost with descriptions, only when they go on missions, it’s still a bit blurry in my imagination but it’s still great. So spoiler: the war has been “over” for about 30 or so pages, but not really? I’m curious to see what happens? Also, spoiler again: Neville’s news broke my heart :( will update soon!
Day seven: i’m 309 pages in and i have to say i think i have reached a wall… so, this is NOT a post about me critizicing this amazing piece of work, ‘cause lord knows i would never be able to write something like this. It’s just my inner thought while in this Fallout ride I’m on… That being said, i think it could’ve ended about 50 or 70 pages ago… i’m not sure what’s next after (SPOILER) Ron’s back… we’ve had two big climaxes (the war and then Ron) but now i’m not sure there’s something that could amount to that? Don’t get me wrong, i’m looking forward to reading the 180 or so pages left, but right know i feel the storyline is a bit without direction and d and h’s relationship should have advanced a bit more emotionally? (To my personal liking, not sayin it would be “the best for the story” bc it’s not my story) but like, them not communicating pretty much at all is giving me a headache, and a heartache… like, please say something! I can’t handle the hot and cold thing for much longer and don’t want to feel like it’s just dragging and losing momentum… anyways, of course i’m updating and going straight back to reading, it’s 1:33 a.m.
Day nine: i’m finished. It’s really over… 485 pages later, my eye sight definitely worse off after countless hours of reading. I have to say, i didn’t expect it turning out the way it did, and idk why bc it kind of was a lot of the same for the last 185 pages… i really wanted to absolutely obssess over it but i found myself thinking “now something big is going to happen” and then 30 pages later: “ok now something big is going to happen” and then i reached page 470 and… nothing really. I don’t really know how to feel… again, this is not me throwing shade, or criticizing or anything like that, it’s just my experience as a reader. So yeah, of course my hat is off to the amazing effort and talent of the author, there’s a reason this fic is regarded as one of the dramione fics ppl need to read. It just lacked a few things in my personal opinion and preference, which is worth nothing in the end lol. I would still reccommend it to anyone! And i guess that, to finish off, and for my personal record, i would give it a solid 4 out of 5 rating.
I’m having lots of fun “journaling” about my reading experience, i think i might continue, if only for my own entertainment and to look back :)

i was reading your thoughts on how fans felt about l&oha and while i concur it is a perfect piece of work in my head and have reread it 5x, i wonder if you think fans tend to be harsher/more critical of hermione and let draco slide? i see it a lot in fics where he's more of an alphahole type
Oh, man. Okay. The can is open, the worms are loose. Rant under the cut.
I'm actually going to set men aside entirely. Just. To the side with you. I desperately need more realistically complicated men, too, but that's a whole separate discussion. Right now: women.
There must be whole dissertations out there on the phenomenon of readers hating female characters with negative traits. I'm a fandom old, so I didn't grow up identifying with Hermione, and wouldn't have even if I'd been young enough to. I did that "which character are you" test just now and my top three matches were Janis Ian from Mean Girls, Jughead from Riverdale and April from Parks and Rec, which, massive grain of salt, etc. BUT gives you an idea. I am not a Hermione and never was, so she's never been a comfort character or self-insert for me. Some of my favorite fictional women are Sophie Hatter (mean, irrational, petty, old and mostly loving it), Harrowhark Nonagesimus (evil stick), Phryne Fisher (zero fucks to give). What I like about Hermione is how imperfect she is. I'm a "cleverest witch of your age I've ever met" truther (book!Lupin is absolutely saying "you're the canniest 14 year-old child I have personally met, saying this as a guy who doesn't get out much," not "you are a once-in-a-century genius"), and from my perspective, she's often wrong and often a dick, and not in a fun and fiesty burn-down-the-world BAMF way. Which. Good for her! Be human.
And that's the thing. I personally don't want Hermione to be perfect, I want her to be what I think she is, textually, which is intelligent, hardworking, loyal, competitive, compassionate, controlling, belittling, rude, petty, insecure, vindictive, volatile. She has the right to be that way, because she's human. The desire for perfected women (or unapologetically and unstoppably awful ones, another brand of female power fantasy) is not limited to Dramione fandom. I think it's amplified in DHr by many readers who DO identify as former gifted children, books-as-coping-mechanism kids and Strong Female Personalities who felt marginalized in childhood and want to see Hermione have it all: she's slim, she's tiny, she's fragile as a bird, she'll break your neck, she'll step on your throat, she'll tear down the system, she'll heal all wounds, she does not need help, she holds all the knowledge, she holds all the cards, she is forever wronged, she can do no wrong, her vagina is tight, her nipples are hard, her hair is on point, her waist is tiny, her tits are bouncing, her ass is in the style of Now. And like. This isn't at all unique to DHr and Hermione. It's pervasive in fiction written by and for women. Female power fantasies are obviously feeding a massive hunger. It's just not what I personally want. Personally, I find it alienating and uncomfortable, which I know equates to, "That is wrong and shouldn't exist" to a lot of people, but that's its own tale as old as time.
There's a disconnect that happens too often where a reader wants one (1) thing from their fiction, and receives something else, even when the contents are clearly labeled on the tin. In this case, wanting a female power fantasy and encountering a woman who's written with flaws makes people upset. And maybe if we could be more honest with ourselves about what we're looking for when we read, work to accept that not everyone wants the same experience, and learn to close a book when it's not working for us and say, "No shade, this isn't for me," it would be less upsetting when we encounter a character who isn't written to meet our personal expectations. I will open a book, realize the FMC is a female power fantasy archetype and close it, because that's not what I show up for. I like my women gritty and weird and foolish and vulnerable and liable to hurt people and feel terrible about it. Give me all the exhausting chatterers and evil sticks and jocks with swords and their hearts on their sleeves (their hearts ripped out), give me shy Anne Elliot and her suitcase full of regrets and the ugly fuckup who never has a glow up, give me dirtbag stoners and Fleabag and Alicent Hightower apologetics and every role Natasha Lyon has ever played. It's not a moral high ground, it's about a preference for seeing actual, demeritus flaws on the page and on the screen. Blame that woman. It's her fault. She has so many faults. Then show me how to forgive her so I can figure out how to forgive myself.
The thing is, I love women. I love women so fucking much. I want to be around them, to get to know them, to read about them, to watch them on TV and see them in films. And personally, I like them ugly. Physically. Spiritually. Morally. Give a woman a Bad Personality and watch her succeed in the most self-injurious way possible, fuck you. Give her a gaping chest wound and line it with teeth. Stick a piece of grit in that girl's tightly sealed shell so that a pearl is her only option. Make her love other women, make her fuck it up, make her have to earn them back.
Thankfully I do feel like we're getting more ugly women in fiction, especially BIPOC, queer and marginalized women who deserve gross, weird, nasty representation and not just didactic moralism, patronization and misguided sainthood. Some readers won't want that, and that's fine. Again, personally (it's all so personal, please, please remember that when you hit that comment button), I'm here for it. If you write about women like this, know that you have a thirsty reader here. I'm swallowing them up. I'm smacking my lips. I'm smashing my mug on the cafeteria floor and calling for another.

Summary: Hermione had only stayed for the office Christmas party because Harry asked her to. Draco had stayed because he’d gotten Hermione for Secret Santa and couldn’t bring himself to simply leave the gift on her desk. Somehow, they both end up back at Draco’s family home beneath some mistletoe.
it happened one holiday party can be read on archive of our own
words: 5,867 rating: e, explicit additional tags: christmas, holiday office party, explicit sexual content, dom/sub undertones, co-workers, draco is hermione’s secret santa, porn with plot
excerpt below: 
“I know that Secret Santa is supposed to be secret,” Draco started, chewing on his bottom lip. The way that he avoided Hermione’s gaze only made her seek it out more. “But, I’ve never understood the point of giving someone a gift and not wanting them to know it was you.”
Draco lifted the little box and set it down in the middle of her desk. It sat between them, feeling as big as the lump in Hermione’s throat. She realized that her sweater suddenly felt two sizes too small, and the temperature in her office had risen by more than a few degrees.
After taking a few steadying breaths, Hermione reached for the box. She removed the bow first, careful not to ruin it. Then, she took the top off the box to reveal what looked like a small pot with a lid; it was small enough to fit in the palm of her hand. Around the outside of the little pot were etchings of various mythical creatures done in copper.
“Malfoy, this is–”
“Open it.”
For the first time since he’d entered her office, Draco seemed to relax. He leaned back and put the second wineglass to his lips. He clearly knew something she didn’t, the thought of which kept her distracted as she removed the twine and sprig of pine. Hermione set the box down on her desk. She removed the lid to see an intricately carved night sky featuring a constellation of stars, very notably in the shape of a dragon. A little fairy spun in slow circles while soft music emanated from the item. He’d gotten her a music box.
The notes being played tickled the deepest corners of Hermione’s mind. For some strange reason, she swore she’d heard those notes before.
Hermione stared down at the music box, dumbfounded. If Draco had left it on her desk with no card or name, she would have never suspected the gift would have come from him. And, for some unexplained reason, she felt it was the perfect gift. Something about it made her heart flutter the slightest bit faster.

Summary:
“What do you mean it won’t open?” The end of her question was shrill. “Are we trapped here?”
“There’s a safety locking charm on it. It can only be opened from the outside.”
Hermione's eyes widened and she sank to the floor, back against the door. “So we are prisoners in this potion closet? Is that what you’re telling me?
“Until tomorrow morning, yes,” Draco said.

Hi! There’s a fan fiction I read, I believe it was on AO3, though don’t quote me on that. Postwar, married Dramione, and they have a few kids. Lucius has just gotten out of prison or something and DHr were wary of introducing the kids to him, but he turned out to be a pretty great grandpa. I do remember that he wanted to watch his grandkids play quidditch but the league wouldn’t let him, so he built a pitch at the manor and started his own league. I remember at the end *spoiler alert* that he had passed and everyone was old and Narcissa or Draco gave a eulogy about how great he was, how much he was loved, etc. Does this ring a bell at all?
This series:
A Little More Alive, Far Less Lost by MGL_Dramione_Lover - M, 22 chapters - After Draco’s post-war trial, he finds himself attending his 8th year at Hogwarts with Hermione. As remorse and acceptance replace anger and hate, the old enemies begin a friendship that sparks into much more than they ever hoped for. Hermione’s goal as Head Girl is to banish old prejudices and unite the school while Draco’s only wish is to become a man worthy of her love.
Life Adapted by MGL_Dramione_Lover - M, 15 chapters - Sequel to A Little More Alive, Far Less LostSoul-bound Draco and Hermione are living a semi-perfect life with their growing family. At least it was perfect until the one man with the power to ruin everything snakes his way back into existence. Over nine years after the end of the war, Lucius Malfoy is released from prison to a world that has changed without him. The only thing that has stayed the same is the love of his wife.

Fandom observations
I only joined the DHr fandom via ao3 in the last year or so. My twt account went live in February. I'm a relative newbie.
I'm also an internet researcher and spend a lot of my time thinking about how people interact in negative ways online. To be clear: I am not participating in fandom as a researcher, nor do I research fandom. But I can't turn off my curiosity and I think my expertise in adjacent internet cultures offers some productive framing for making sense of the behaviours I'm seeing.
The following are some percolating reflections I've been mulling over for some time now. They're incomplete and shouldn't be read as a concrete analysis or a fix-it guide; instead, consider them pervasive thought clusters with fuzzy edges and an incomplete picture as I try to talk through my ideas to identify their core elements or themes.
I'm extrapolating from macro to micro here, and without any real map or guide to structure my thinking, I'm afraid we're left wading through this tangled web together. If, indeed, anyone at all finds this of interest. Which they likely will not. Nevertheless, it's a useful exercise. And so we begin.
On connection and community
In broad strokes, I find that communities tend to be sorted by geography, identity, or interest.
In fan communities, people can connect strongly over a special or niche interest that they don't get to indulge in deep discussion with others in other social spaces. They also connect in specific locations: fora, social media, conventions, etc. Despite the interest connecting fans, there's largely a celebration of diversity and similarities.
However, there's an impetus exhibited by a vocal minority to control or manage the boundaries of acceptable representation or experimentation within fandom. And when people stray from the emotionally and socially charged interpretations considered legitimate (which, to be clear, are inherently subjective because they are not part of the original published works and therefore are all vulnerable in their faithfulness to canon or headcanon depending on the reader), communication between fans (in-fandom and spanning fandoms) can break down.
Frankly, the lack of grace extended to others in these situations is really sad.
I'd love to see more compassionate reactions to behaviour or ideas that stray from our headcanons or interests - provided they aren't harmful.
And before anyone tries to argue that DHr is harmful because Draco was a young fascist, please remember that anything can happen in fiction: writers make the rules. Fandom offers the freedom to explore alternate realities within canon universes, or even alternate universes.
Similarly, if the author is clear in not promoting violence or harm in fiction, fictional worlds are a wonderful way to explore issues of violence, harm and issues of a taboo nature in different societies and cultures. There's a marked difference between exploring taboo and creating a manifesto endorsing harm. While some of the topics may be uncomfortable for you, your discomfort does not afford you license to censor others. As consenting adults, we can enjoy Icky Things and recognise that it only is okay to engage with and explore them in fiction or fantasy.
On digital publics and (intended) audiences
Social media platforms are spaces for various publics to interact. When we post, we have an idea of who the intended audience is. It may be out general followers, or a specific group of people. Sometimes, we post for ourselves as an archive of our ideas and experiences.
We're likely not thinking about the people outside of our perceived networks as reading or engaging with our posts, but because of the (mysterious) workings of the algorithm, often our posts end up in our spaces and we can feel that our territory or personal digital space is being encroached upon (usually because they misunderstand or misinterpret our community practices or artifacts; the recent mainstream news article about Manacled is one such example). These outsiders decontextualise our co-constructed worlds and make them vulnerable to (mis)interpretation due to a lack of or incomplete cultural knowledge.
It's not just external Publicness we need to be aware of, though. There's not one DHr fandom. There are many communities or networks of individuals who share some common interests, but there are numerous differences in what people will accept or not accept as DHr-compliant (or of personal interest). The lack of cohesive agreement as to what is acceptable means that we're vulnerable to misinterpretation or misalignment with others in our spheres.
And that's not even considering the networks of fandoms related to DHr under the wider HP umbrella.
On miscommunication, disagreement and shame
When these boundaries blur or are crossed, or contention arises, we often see an uptick in sub-tweeting, screenshotting or private quote retweeting (pqrting). This "behind their back in front of their face" approach is a wholly unproductive path to addressing ideas or behaviour we disagree with.
Shame is a powerful tool for gaining and maintaining social control. It can quite easily be weaponised and effectively impact the behaviours and beliefs of others. Shaming people's ideas, actions, or interests doesn't end them, it just obscures them or quietens them in mainstream spaces, while ostracizing them and opening up opportunities for escalation (particularly in negative behaviours) to occur.
Deciding whether to engage in conversation publicly or privately is a personal, and sometimes difficult decision. Public call-ins can model good practice and signal to others when behaviour might cross into unacceptable or unproductive areas not conducive to harmonious, diverse ranges in ideas and actions. Publicly addressing behaviour can lead to defensiveness, though, if people perceive the call-in as a shaming event, instead of a good faith intervention.
On the other hand, private conversations may lead to more in-depth and impactful discussion, but no one knows it's happening and so behaviour appears to go by unaddressed - and silence can be interpreted as complicity or agreement, despite the other functions on twt to signal agreement, e.g. Likes, Replies, Retweets.
One way to maybe mediate these tensions is to note your disagreement/issue and ask to talk about it more in private.
But sub-tweeting and pqrts, while signalling your opposition, create divides or Others, which only widens the distance between people and creates barriers to well-meaning discussion.
I'm also a firm believer in protecting your peace. Block those whose ideas or behaviour is misaligned - particularly those who build their identity on negative oppositional stances (I.e. antis). You'll not change their mind, they aren't open to alternate perspectives. Save your energy for celebrating and creating within your own networks of like-minded fans.
Shifting the ways we frame our interactions, with greater recognition of parasocial relationships, and a more expansive, welcoming approach of acceptability that replaces shame or cringe with curiosity and grace could help us combat some of the hardcoded structural issues in communication created or exacerbated by platform design and the lack of a central hub of activity, interaction, and easily accessible historical information on the networks and individuals we're engaging with.
