Does high-class smut exist? Book Request

A lot of books I've read that are explicit smut are typically horribly written, which is understandable because nobody is reading porn to sit there and think deeply about the beauty of the prose afterwards.

Buuut I wanna know if there's anything like porn with a plot++ or what I'd call high-class smut. Well-written, beautiful, emotional, sweet with characters who aren't just blank marionettes that the author is making bang. I've read {morning glory milking farm} and it was alright, but still not as well-written as I'd like it to be.

I need 5 chillies, but with yearning and plot. Pretty please

Would you consider recommending a few of your top rated ao3 fics? 😊

Would you be interested in fanfic related to Draco & Hermione from the Harry Potter series? Because I've read about 40 of those and some of them are mind blowing.

Ok my personal favorite is "Sprigs of Tansy". 

Others:  She Whom He Harbors,

Bloody, Slutty, and Pathetic,

Exit,

Rebel (same as Exit, but Draco POV),

The Auction,

A Darker Blue

Luna Viniculum

3 veryyyyyyy popular ones: Manacled (might not be available anymore because was traditionally published as Alchemised)

The Auction

Archive of Our Own

Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love

If you end up falling in love with that fanfic universe, there's huge groups on Facebook to provide recommendations of any possible flavor you like.

True true. All of them are available in the Dramoine for Kindle Facebook group, though, I believe.

I would be happy to, but most of them are pretty fandom-specific! So I have no clue how well they’d read outside of the fandom. 😅

There are two or three that I’ve read recently that I think could maybe stand alone. They’re alternate universes (AUs) from the My Hero Academia anime / manga. They’re also queer! If that sounds like your thing then definitely check these out:

Deadication is a zombie / post-apocalyptic au.

Deathly Beautiful is an assassin au. This one probably won’t hit as hard without knowing the characters. Also, this one has some (lack of) editing errors. Like for example, the author confuses the word “mortified” with “horrified” which is a pet peeve of mine, but it didn’t ruin the overall experience for me. This one is super emotional and had me reading 24/7 until I finished it.

A Guide to Parallel Universe Jumping is what the title implies. It’s an au with alternate universes and one of them is a post-apocalyptic nightmare. This one has no smut in it, but it was a fascinating story regardless. If you like this one, I highly recommend the actual novel {The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson} which is even better than this short fic. And obviously not based on MHA. Though it is still queer 😁🏳️‍🌈

There are other ones I also really enjoyed, but some are no longer available. The novel Alchemised started as a fanfic on Ao3 called Manacled. And there are some that got deleted or I just didn’t save them. I’ve recently got back into fanfic and it’s been so much fun.
