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.

miawallace, thanks for the links! I'll try those. 4PrivetDrive, I'll do a defence of Ron tomorrow. It's past my bedtime right now (I'm in the UK).

In general it’s hard to find dramoine fics that don’t bash on Ron. So even if I did absolutely adore him, this particular pairing will have it hard to find Ron friendly fics.
I don’t doubt canon Ron was a somewhat decent guy. I just think Hermione could have done so much better than him.

And don't even get me started on that Harry nonsense.

I love Hermione, but as a pairing, she always makes Ron feel inadequate, jumping in to do or fix things for him, etc. I personally love the Ron/Luna pairing. She makes him a little less defensive, more thoughtful.

She's the smartest witch of her age after all and way more ambitious than either of the boys.

Ron was an ass to harry in goblet of fire and they weren’t even dating. I can only imagine how he would be when Hermione and him were together and she was excelling at everything.

I do and do not like Harry with Ginny, overall. I personally think that as a couple, their personalities are complimentary and it's nice that Harry has that official tie to the Weasley family, and yet the writer part of me is, it's too cliche.
Occasionally I like the idea of Harry with Luna, as he's got such a protector-type vibe. Ginny would never let Harry protect her, hahaha, she is way too much like Tonks in that regard.
But, as always, best pairing is Dramione. So much fire there.

I think all of them need to date someone not in their house. Lol I love Luna and Harry too. I read one where they were together and she was such a sex minx and I loved how she was making Harry blush. Luna and Blaise too. I love Neville and Theo. I still think Ginny and Blaise would have been perfect.

Gah, I just spent ages neglecting my toddler to type out a huge long post about Ron and my phone decided to eat it without my permission. I'll have to try again tomorrow when she's at preschool and I can neglect housework instead.

I’ve read a lot of dramoine fics, and I sfill feel like I have so many more I haven’t read. I don’t really read works in process because it’s not really in my personality to be that patient lol. So I can’t even imagine all the ones I’ll have to read once they’re completed

So there’s this chick Tom posted on his Instagram. Not sure who she is, but people keep saying she’s new girl. I kind of feel like she’s out of his league. She’s so beautiful and He hasn’t aged well at all. But this is very superficial of me. I like him, but woof.

Is this how the 1D Larry stuff started? I’m kind of embarrassed that I spiraled on this chick and trying to figure out if they are a thing.

All the main characters are in their early 30s. Since they cast 11-12 year olds for the first movie and all. I remember being excited when I was younger when I realized the actors were my age, so it was acceptable for me to imagine being with them.

Although he’s like 4 years younger than me I feel like my life has been a lie now.

So I read isolation months ago. I just finished stripped bare today. I started another one but for the life of me, I can’t remember what it’s called.
Isolation was significantly better than stripped bare. Like way way way better.
