Maybe In Another Life, Things Would Be Different.

Posted a nearly 15k word one-shot today. (Split into three parts). It’s been living in my head for a while and I’m excited to finally have it finished and posted 😌

Summary:

Just as they reached the general store, Draco saw it. A large wanted poster showing his face. Clear as day. He heard an intake of breath from behind him and suddenly, his lungs seemed to cease all normal functions. She would finally know just the sort of man she’d run off with.

To his surprise, Hermione let out a small laugh and leaned forward to whisper, “I think you’ll be fine. They’ve gotten your nose all wrong. It’s much pointier in real life.”

A Dramione story set in a Wild West, Muggle AU. Inspired by Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter album.

He needs to suffer

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.

commission 🤍

Every once in a while, I really want to read Drarry but I’m always worried that then there will be Ronmione in the background and I just can’t handle it.

God I love “We’re enemies, but we’ve been enemies for a long time, which is sort of like being friends.” Great trope.

I know this so dumb but my favorite dramione trope is Draco being like “you idiot gryffindor stop trying to die for people who don’t deserve you 😡” but then also being like “hermione I love you I don’t deserve you and I will die for you 🙂” It gets me every time lmao
