Ok. I understand, on a rational level, that most Draco/Hermione fics are OOC. All we've seen in cannon is that Draco is a jerk. I get that, and I'm willing to suspend my belief for the sake of romance. This is why I can enjoy D/Hermione fics, and I suppose as much of the Draco/Harry fics are dark & twisted as are fluffy. Probably more. The whole enemies attract business. It works for D/Hr, works for D/Harry, and could probably work for D/Ron. I don't get the Draco/Ginny fic though. It's too much of a stretch for me.

Looking over HP fanfic summaries, I'm floored by how many of them feature Ginny in the main pairing--and glancing through them, she appears to be Mary Sued all to hell. And how could she not be--she's barely been touched on in the books. From what I've seen, she looks to be even more of a Mary Sue than Willow in season two-four BtVS fics.

I'm reading a very long trilogy now--Draco Dormiens, Draco Sinister and Draco Veritas. I'm in the middle of the second book and not sure if they're going to turn out D/Hm, but Draco is turning into a tremendous tragic hero at this point in the story.

That what had me wondering too. I've only read the 4 books once, and quite a while ago, but to my memory she had less character development than Legolas even.

I'm just finished the first long book or a trilogy called "DRACAENA DRACO." I don't think I'll read the second one-- this one was good but I'm kind of tired of the author's style.

I'm really liking these two fics:
Into the Dark and Surfeit Of Curses. I don't know how they're going to turn out, or when they'll next be updated, but both are pretty cool. Surfeit Of Curses might be the best D/Hr fic I've read so far.

Better than Adamo Fidelitas? Holy criminy.

well, different. very different. That one is wonderful too, probably my second favorite. This has more, though... and I think may be better. It takes a long time building, and I'm not sure exactly where it's going. And it's stalled at a killer cliffhanger that makes me want to scream. But it's really very cool.

or just the best Draco fic.
