4PrivetDrive tbh I rarely ventured from my bmb until just before the big blowup, and once when mischief tagged me into a welcome thread at 4am lol I didn't mean to trounce on any toes before, I'm sorry if I did. I don't ever want to disparage another fandom and reading back, I certainly could have worded my posts better. So here's some Dramione Love:

I need someone to explain this to me. What attracts y'all to Draco+Hermione?
Some of the stuff posted in this thread has got my interested piqued, but I need some convincing.
And God I wish I had time to read fanfic.

And God I wish I had time to read fanfic. I guess one part of it is that Draco deserved a redemption arc. Yeah he was a prick in school, but he was a product of his environment, and by the end of the story he was seeing that it wasn't all that he was led to believe. Also, Hermione and Draco have a passionate relationship in the books. Yes it's fueled on mutual animosity, but there's the potential for it to become passionate in a different way. Plus. Rowling actually has said she considered having them in a relationship. ETA, I guess I can't confirm that last part, though I've seen it posted a few places. I can't find the primary source.

I cant exactly pin point why exactly i love Draco and hermione so much. I maybe seen too many telenovelas and love that hate to love passionate love stories. Its what first attracted me to dramoine when I first decided to click on the fanfics recommended here. I was lurking and then I'm like "yeah I can see that" and I've been hooked since then. I feel like they are even keeled on many things. i also love a good redemption story. I feel like jk could have done more with the Draco character. Even if he didn't end up with hermione, I feel like he could have been so much more in the main stories. I'm also on the anyone but Ron thing. and Snape.

I can definitely see the need for a redemption arc thing. I have a love/hate relationship with Draco. He's an interesting character that has lots of unexplored potential.
God I need a different career with more free time.

And trust, I see the problematic stuff with the whole Draco + hermione. Even maybe Draco and harry. Sometimes I feel guilty loving them, but I guess it's one of those things I just allow myself to enjoy. It's an escape for me.
I've had a crappy year and for some reason this fanfic couple made days/weeks bearable.

What's a good first "dip my toes in" fanfic for Dramione? Preferably one that doesn't take much time, since work is nuts.

The good news is the story is pretty good and it’s keeping me entertained during my terrible insomnia. The bad news is my terrible insomnia has made it so I only slept About 20 minutes all night. I have a 3yo and 7mo to take care of all day by myself. I may die. ETA: I am 23 chapters in.

Then it will be sooooooo on. I will do all the reading. The first day of school for my little one will be full of me sitting on my ass, drinking coffee and reading.

Ok so I am 43 chapters in. I have come to 2 conclusions so far. 1) I may have to do a full review and post it here 2) I really hate the music recs at the beginning of the chapters HOWEVER I was listening to music in my car and two songs played back to back which work amazingly well for the story. 🤷🏻♀️

I hardly ever read the authors notes, unless I’m reading a WIP. Once something is something is completed I really don’t read them. It’s mostly “sorry I haven’t posted I’ve been so busy...” I’m the actual worst lol. I might if they are actual notes or references to the story or 1-2 sentence notes. Otherwise tl:dr.

I don’t read the notes afterward because I don’t gaf. These are always at the beginning of the chapter and I just skim them for familiar songs.

I also find listening to music whike reading distracting. I think that’s what she was trying to do in some parts and I’m like nope.

So, I have trouble shipping Hermione with anyone else because I love Ron and I honestly don't understand why so many people dislike him. However, I am definitely on board for Draco redemption as he's one of my favourite characters.
I read The Debt of Time a couple of weeks ago because of this board and mostly enjoyed it a lot. I also read a fluffy Dramione, Apple Pies and Other Amends, that was recommended here and definitely enjoyed it.
So, any more gateway Dramione recommendations? It doesn't have to be totally fluffy, I have no objection to some angst. I don't read really dark stuff because fanfic is about escapism for me.
