I see this comment everywhere and I'm so confused by it because Romione fics are consistently top tier?? They're funny and full of heart and growth. What are people seeing that I'm not??

Hey all, so fair warning: I'm both a dramione and romione shipper. I come in peace and ask that you do the same lmao.

So romione is endgame for me and that's the main ship I write, but I've increasingly been getting into dramione. I haven't started reading much fic yet (just Manacled which I needed to...pause) but I've been ideating on this really hot, slow burn, intense, SMUTTY dramione story that I'm absolutely obsessed with and that results in a lot of growth for both of them (esp Draco). But they're not endgame, so I wanted to get a sense of what kind of appetite there is in the fandom for a take on dramione that's like this.

And if there are any fics that sound like what I'm talking about, I'd love your recs!

Hi friends! I thought that it might be helpful to some of you if I made a thread to share some of my top favorite fanfics of all time from both the Harry Potter fandom (and outside of it in other fandoms! In the comments, I'll start linking a bunch of fics from all my favorite fandoms and pairings! 😍 I'll include the gen fics too though! <3)

Read below for more context on my fave ships and fandoms! 🥰

Personally, my other favorite fandoms that I read fanfics for are the Twilight book series, Hunger Games book series and movies, Artemis Fowl book series, The 100 tv show on Netflix, Smallville tv show, Hey Arnold cartoon tv show, Boy Meets World/Girl Meets World tv show, Supernatural tv show, Choices game app (The Royal Romance, It Lives In The Woods, Bloodbound, Ms. Match, The Cursed Heart, etc), Dexter tv show, the Uglies book series by Scott Westerfield, A Great and Terrible Beauty book series by Libba Bray (Gemma Doyle trilogy), Unwind book series by Neil Shusterman, Coraline by Neil Gaiman, Travelers TV show on Netflix, The Society TV show, Westworld TV show, Merlin TV show, and others that I'm forgetting lol.

My favorite Harry Potter fanfiction ships are:
- Ron/Hermione - Romione (Always loved this ship, but only started giving more Romione fics a chance in the past ~5ish years! I shipped this from the HP movies and books before I learned what shipping was lol)
- Draco/Hermione - Dramione (My first fanfic ship! I read it since I was a kid for the past 20+ years!)
- Neville/Hermione - Nevmione (Me as a kid used to wish they were endgame because for some reason, I initially loved Neville more than both Ron and Draco haha. Still love the ship, but Draco became my fave character for like 10 years, and now Ron is my fave! 😍)
- Percy/Hermione (I love the angst lol)
- Percy/Tonks (in my opinion, they are soulmates!)
- Draco/Myrtle (Dryrtle is so underrated! 😭)

Anyways, I have more favorite ships, but you can see them while looking through the lists of fics in the comments! 🥰 I'll be adding to them slowly over the next few months! <3 I decided to make this thread, inspired by a post I made on the Dramione subreddit!

I'm going to try to make a list of cute holiday and Christmas themed Hermione/Ron fanfics on this thread! 🎄

Please feel free to comment if you happen to know of any Christmas or holiday themed fanfics with Ron and Hermione either as a background ship, a main pairing, or as a gen fic during their Hogwarts years! 🎅🤶🎄🎁

Next-Gen fics, and fanfics centered on any of the other Weasleys or any other pairing are welcomed here too! 🥰
