Lately, I’ve been thinking about some of the really good Dramiones I read. And I mean, REALLY good. They’re well-written, have a great plot, and a slow-building romance. THAT’s the most important thing – you can’t rush the romance! Ever! It’s what constitutes the difference between a good Dramione and a GREAT Dramione. Some of the best out there have all these qualities.
I’ve also been needing a break from HGSS. I think I read too much of that yesterday… Plus, I think Sugar Quills has really affected me… >< Don’t get me wrong, it was REALLY WELL-WRITTEN, but too dark and creepy. Which was the point of course. But Dark!Snape is siriusly scary. *shiver*
So, I am falling back on my OTP to bring me back to life. :D Here are some of the best which come to mind when I think of Dramione:
1. We’ll Always Have Paris. I just remembered about this one yesterday, because I was thinking about that one scene and I was like, “OMG what story was that?!?!” I’m gonna start with this one. And you should too.
2. A Series of Unfortunate Events. This one I read recently on FF.net by Geeky-DMHG-Fan. It is absolutely wonderful, and is like the ideal Dramione.
3. Grey Tuesdays. Gosh, what to say about this? It’s on Livejournal by floorcoaster, and it’s fantastic. (LOL no pun intended ;P) The imagery is just so strong, and that exotic setting lends to the plot and the interactions between Draco and Hermione even more. GAH, it’s gorgeous! After reading it, I wanted to go there so badly. And I still do.
Unfortunately, I must say that being a Dramione fan, I still haven’t read The Dragon’s Bride by Rizzle. And I’ve heard SO MUCH about it. It’s EVERYWHERE! I guess it’s like one of the classics now. And I also have not gotten the chance to read We Learned the Sea. I think I should just go into the story without reading the summary, because frankly, that’s what’s been holding me back. Although I don’t know why. And I started reading The Dragon’s Bride like, a year ago, and I stopped because I didn’t like it. (FAIL! I didn’t even get past the first chapter. Same with Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, when I was like, 8 years old.) I will definitely give it another go. Soon. I promise.
But now, to re-spark my interest! *goes off to We’ll Always Have Paris*
