This was insane. He was actually bi polar. I didn’t like their relationship development, or the fact there was NO plot line whatsoever. I usually have nothing bad to say against this man but this book…. I had plenty to say. 😔 I was scared for her. Honestly think she was insane for putting up with him. He needed to calm down he was always so angry.☹️ I also thought it was silly how the author would sneak the title in almost every page. I didn’t think you could find that many ways to use the word fallout. She did though. This ending was ok but it definitely took WAYYYY too long to get to it. This was NOT worth all my emotions. Crying, raging, giggling, heheing. NO NO NOT WORTH IT.

“Life is a circle. It is a war. It builds, climaxes, ebbs out of the fallout, and then builds again. Every night someone goes to sleep to the end of the world, but one morning, they wake up. They shake out their bones, they realise they have survived. They begin again, that human struggle for peace, that desperate reach for happiness.”

I did it again…. This one was LONGGG and honestly?? I kept getting lost in the narrative structure and I wanted some more cutesy than I got, one more BUT it was still a good read. It’s really heavy on how war affects everyone apart of it

I bookmarked and highlighted my kindle for the first time while reading this. I don’t even like hp THAT much. They are like a parasite that has worked its way into me. In the best way.
This was really fucking good.

“Draco Malfoy doesn't believe in God, and so she thinks that maybe it was she that was the one who needed to forgive him, so he can forgive himself.” Bang

[Nancy Valentino]

Overall I would say that I didn’t like this one very much. The narrative style is interesting but for me it was the genre that really put me off - I felt that this was primarily a war story with a romance plot line, rather than a romance or even a fantasy witches & wizards story. I also felt that Hermione was relegated to a slightly useless role in this one, not just compared to other fanfics (eg From Wiltshire With Love) but compared to the books as well. I did like the idea that the adults were actively involved in the fight against Voldemort and the Death Eaters though. And it made a lot of sense that the fight didn’t end with the Battle of Hogwarts. I would describe this story as “gritty” and not terribly enjoyable, but I suppose it’s an interesting take anyway.

Note to self: This is the one where HG doesn’t go on the Horcrux hunt with HP & RW. The whole thing is overseen by adults and HG mostly hangs out in safe houses - often with DM, and they fight a lot. It’s a very slow burn romance. Their stunning spells stop working for as long and eventually even the good guys have to use killing curses, which I guess presents an interesting moral question. There are a few devastating deaths in this one (PP, NL). There’s some good spicy scenes including one in a shower that stands out. It’s not many chapters but the chapters are extremely long. I wouldn’t read it again.

4.8 stars

Well Damn…I have no words. This shit was a JOURNEY.
I loved this so fucking much. It was so original, so unique, so realistic. Everything I want was in it. The BANTER. The TENSION. The CHEMISTRY. Perfection.

I laughed some, cried some more, then swooned some more. This shit was addictive. It HURT. All those losses HURT. Especially N and J (I don’t wanna give a spoiler)

The only thing I wasn’t so obsessed with was the past/present tense mixture writing. It didn’t make much sense, but it wasn’t such a big factor, because I ate this shit up.
And I wanted maybe a tiiiiiny bit more love between Draco and Hermione. I know there were MANY intimate scenes - which were one of the fucking best I’ve read btw- but I wanted a bit more of the hugs, the support, the other sort of intimacy. We only got it towards the end. Maybe a bit more wouldn’t have hurt.

But this one is for sure one of my favourite fics so far.

UGH, this story just kicked me in the feels, over and over and over, hurting in the best possible way. 🖤 I am shattered into a million pieces, and feeling a bit bereft, much like I imagine they all did at the end.

I absolutely love the way this was written, the little snippets of survival, of a deep love grown from a reluctant friendship, of redemption, all under the agony of war. This story was told so spectacularly and richly that it felt like I was there in every sense of the word. The moments of playfulness, the eroticism, and the banter are a perfect counterbalance to the heaviness and chaos of the war scenes.

This has definitely become one of my top 5 fave Dramione fanfics.

I see this book mentioned a lot, but everyone is pretty divided on if they like it or not.

It has a unique narrative style that reminds me of a third person diary almost. It’s kind of rough to read at the beginning but the further you get into it, the less it bothers you.

I’m a sucker for a slow burn and this one is slooooow. Such a realistic relationship buildup that I wish would happen in more books.

[Aleesha Stevens]

I adored this fic I can’t stop thinking about it. I loved the realistic romantic portrayal of D and H. I often times lose interest after these characters “get together” in other romance forward fics, but this was a JOURNEY and I was invested. I loved twists and turns of the plot, it was action packed and so so heartbreaking! I know many had issues with the writing style but I found it refreshingly unique. So many stars from me.

another fic that’s at least 600 pages longer than it needs to be. i also hate when they get together with an angry unexpected smooch and then proceed to not talk about anything of substance for literally 3 years. also i feel like every argument was resolved with one of them being on the brink of death and the other showing up at their bedside forgiving everything. anyways, needed filler til the hunger games book dropped

[Holly · Rating 5 out of 5]

The writing style was a bit jarring at the beginning and it was one of those things that where you think you’ll never get used to it, but then all the sudden you’ve read 1000 pages and you don’t remember books ever being written *not* in third person.

This was beautifully written, depressing but somehow really hopeful at the same time.

[Breland Moore · Rating 5 out of 5]

“When does redemption begin? She likes to believe it is at the top of a tower, when a boy lowers his wand…the question for Draco Malfoy, of course, was when it ended”

Beautiful wartime fic where Draco switches sides and fights for the Order. Romantic super slow burn but one that felt realistic.

[Samar Srouji · Rating 5 out of 5]

Couldn’t stop reading this book. The plot twisted really twisted. My one annoyance is that Hermione kept getting portrayed as a bad fighter (which is explained through the book) but still, it was frustrating that she was always getting hurt and saved.

I had forgotten about this one but it’s pretty darn good. Just sooooo long. Also a bit rushed at the end but not taking any points away bc still quite good

[Nevada Acheson · Rating 3 out of 5]

DNF at 43%

The only reason I made it this far is because I was in a buddy read with my sister.

[Melissa81 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Welp, this officially gave Manacled a run for it's money (still my number one - this is now number one point five)

Absolutely fantastic. Bumped Secrets & Masks to second place, and The Auction into third.

Long live Dramione fan-fics :)
