Draco In My Fic

Hogwarts Era Dramione because why not!

“Be careful.” (Come back to me.)

One thing that will never fail to amaze me about reading fics of the same pairing over and over and over again is how of course there are certain expected lines and tropes,

(People always talk about him going from calling her “Granger” to calling her “Hermione,” but I think an underrated one is “Oh, back to Malfoy now, am I?” I clutch my pearls every time.)

But even beyond that there are just so many unique things in each fic. Like I am forever amazed how one relationship can be analyzed and overanalyzed and there are still so many new ways to compare these characters with others in canon or even in other literature. Like of course she and Ron are gonna break up but writers are still able to make the break up feel unique to the context of each story. Idk I guess what I’m trying to say is it’s just mind blowing how fan fiction has existed for years and there are still so many original ideas. Or ideas that feel original at least. Obviously these aren’t original characters and so many popular fics pull from other works of media. But idk the babies they create feel so fresh and new.

I’m back with more late night dramione fan fiction rants. So I finished Bending Light by scullymurphy and immediately went into Falling Dark (the sequel) and I’m sooooo emotional like holy crap.

The way Bending Light felt so beautiful and picturesque. Like I get emotional thinking about these child soldiers getting to enjoy a summer of being normal, silly teenagers in a beautiful setting. But then they also can’t even properly chillax because they know they gotta go back to being child soldiers soon like uggghhh. It just hits so well.

And now Falling Dark!!!! The way scullymurphy slapped me in the face with this. I swear I wanna dive into this screen and physically fight Draco for being such a doo doo head like if you don’t stop playing with my girly!!! And just ugh the entanglements are so entangled like omg I keep having to pause to screech like it’s that serious to me. But also I’m obsessed, like, the drama is peak. I know it’s tagged as a happy ending but I just have no clue what could possibly happen to make all of this feel happy at the end like. And I’m not even halfway into it, that’s what’s getting me, like what more do I have to go through??? I’m stressed!!!! (But in a good way). Also I’m so obsessed with Lavender in this series like when she said “I think I need to breathe into a paper bag” I FELT that

ppl talk about the difficulty of writing characters smarter than yourself, but the real challenge is writing a character who is funnier than you are
