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.

Can you rec me any Hermione/Tom Riddle, or Harry/Tom Riddle? ;)

I don't get D/G either. Which is too bad, 'cause there's a lot of it, and since I seem to be reading an absurd of HP fic lately, I might as well just go with it and read everything I can.

Need...more...now...

Yes. that's exactly how it is. And I actually have more links right now that I can really read.

sorry ducks.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. All I've read so far is Draco /Hermione.

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.

or just the best Draco fic.

Better than Adamo Fidelitas? Holy criminy.

*runs off to read*

Re:

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.

Oh, could you please, please, *please* rec me some fic with either Draco or Snape?
I've been trying to find some, but all I've stumbled upon so far is horrible! I'd love to know of any author who is known for writing either pairing very well, or any stories that you think are worth reading!

hope I can help

ok, first off, read the comments to this post. That has a few good Drao recs in it already.

I don't know any good Snape-centric fics, but the best of the Draco fics typically have Snape even in small parts, written well.

After yuo check those out and note them down or whatever, go to my memories page in LJ and click on "Rec Bitch". There's going to be a lot of entries in there, and almost all are fanfic of some kind. The most recent ones (probably at bottom) are going to have Draco or Draco/Hermione fanfic, lost of it. Try the 7 most recent entries, or more. That should link you to a lot... not all of which I've read, but many I have. Also, make sure you read the comments... sometimes I added it to memories for the comments; people or myself put a lot of recs in those, too.

Oh, wow--THANK YOU!

I had another thought that might be of use to you. When I first start a fandom, what I often do is scour the most recent updates on fanfiction.net until I find a fanfic I like for the pairing I prefer. Then, I go to that author's profile page, and look at their favorite stories list. This leads me to more good fic. Then I do then same thing with the authors of those fics... it's a process that works pretty well and can swiftly get you onto some great reading.
