A love triangle between Tom and Hermione and Draco (which is something I'm always down for), and a veryyyyyyyyyy slow burn. Not gonna lie, sometimes it was too long for me, but I loved Tom and Hermione's convos and scenes together. Tbh, I was rooting for them, haha. ...more
Interesting start, rushed ending. It started really well, the writing was good, Hermione's and Tom's characters were great, I loved them! My favorite Interesting start, rushed ending. It started really well, the writing was good, Hermione's and Tom's characters were great, I loved them! My favorite duo was definitely Tom and Harry, I quite liked their interactions, it was interesting. I feel like the last two chapters were rushed. Very much. Felt like the writer just wanted to end the story quickly. The ending was bittersweet, mostly HEA.(view spoiler)[for Tom, it was totally HEA, and if you see it otherwise, it was happy for Hermione too.. ehh, well. (hide spoiler)]...more
Well, I don't know what to say about this fic. I feel like it's a little bit unfinished, (view spoiler)[we don't know what happened to Hermione's and Well, I don't know what to say about this fic. I feel like it's a little bit unfinished, (view spoiler)[we don't know what happened to Hermione's and Voldemort's child. (hide spoiler)] Also, I felt second-hand embarrassment while I was reading the smut scenes... some of it was cringe af. Hermione was way too OOC for me. Mehh, personally, I didn't like it, waste of time. The author has better Tomione/Volmione stories now. It definitely shows she wrote it years ago. ...more
Honestly, I can't understand the hate this fic gets. I think it was very good, I really enjoyed it! Of course, Hermione felt like OOC, but I think thiHonestly, I can't understand the hate this fic gets. I think it was very good, I really enjoyed it! Of course, Hermione felt like OOC, but I think this was necessary for the story and the plot. Tom was very true to his character, even though in the beginning I didn't like this "womanizer" behavior, but it quickly changed as the story went on. The developments were good! I enjoyed reading their dynamics, and conversations, and the sexual tension between them was 10/10. I didn't think I would enjoy and love this story, but here we are! I was a little bit sad when I was done with it, but hey, it was a wild ride definitely, and ofc Tom is very very bad guy. A little bit I felt like it was unfinished (for me at least), I was curious about their child, and what happened with the original timeline (her friends are born?, the teachers?, the war?), and because of this, I give 4 ⭐. Still a good read though, I'm just missing these parts. ...more
I read once the original one, years ago. I remembered some things about it, so not much was a surprise to me. I read the new, rewritten version which I read once the original one, years ago. I remembered some things about it, so not much was a surprise to me. I read the new, rewritten version which is available on AO3, and it's WIP. Still good, and the writing is amazing as always! Devdevlin is a great writer, I love all of her stories and read them too. (view spoiler)[It's not a surprise that Ben is actually Tom/Voldemort. It's even better, haha:D (hide spoiler)] I stayed for the plot and the sexual tension, but not much smut were in it, which I'm sad about it. Anyway, it's a very good story, I really like it. I can't wait to see where the storyline goes. ...more
Well, what can I say? I came for the smut and stayed for the plot. This was a really great story! I liked both Draco's and Hermione's characterizationWell, what can I say? I came for the smut and stayed for the plot. This was a really great story! I liked both Draco's and Hermione's characterizations. I'm always down for a good murder mystery (and also smut) so this was a pleasant read. Even though the first chapter started with a veryyyyyyyyy spicy and explicit scene, the rest spicy scenes in the story weren't that good. But I still enjoyed it and loved it! It's just an observation. What I didn't like was that they were supposed to be in their mid-20s and yet, they still acted like teenagers? And because of that, I couldn't imagine them as adults while I was reading the chapters. The main plot is definitely 10/10 + the emotional rollercoaster that this story gave me.. DAMN, the feels.
I liked: - Draco's character (sometimes Hermione was too OOC for me) - Them, dealing with PTSD. This was written and portrayed very well! - Hermione's nightmare/hallucinations about Bellatrix - Snape's mentoring and his character - OBVIOUSLY THE SMUT IN THE 1ST CHAPTER ...more
Oh God. I don't know what to say. Honestly, I love devdevlin's writing style, it's so amazing and always gives me anxious, chilling feelings. I loved Oh God. I don't know what to say. Honestly, I love devdevlin's writing style, it's so amazing and always gives me anxious, chilling feelings. I loved Tom's pov, he was so well-written, and his obsession with Hermione was frightening. Their interactions were on point, I loved their dynamics. The ending: Well f*ck me. I was left in shock. He really is his mother's child, isn't he? Well damn. I felt sorry for Hermione but honestly, this was a great and best ending for this story. Top-tier short story. ...more
Hermione's breathing is shaky now. "If you don't let me go right now—" "You'll what?" he asks, tilting his head, and it's odd, how he sounds excited. "Hermione's breathing is shaky now.

Dear God! This story was amazing, chilling and horrifying at the same time and I loved it. Of course it destroyed me in the end but DAMN, I LOVED IT. I'm a big fan of Thomas Harris' Hannibal series, and I got big Silence of the Lambs vibes from this story and honestly, I was down for it. This wasn't a romance or smut story, it was pure thriller with sexual tension, because Imma be honest: sometimes in their scenes I could feel the sexual tension between them and Jesus... I was like: [image]
I'm sad that it doesn't have a sequel because good Lord, I'd sell my soul just to read a second part of this story! Also the ending left me in shoook. DAMN. Amazing story! ...more
Definitely 5 ⭐️ from me. Someone recommended me this story and honestly, I'm so grateful for it. I loved every part of it. Typical enemies-to-lovers fDefinitely 5 ⭐️ from me. Someone recommended me this story and honestly, I'm so grateful for it. I loved every part of it. Typical enemies-to-lovers fic, but mix it with a lot of spice and steamy smuts. I'm a big fan of 6th-year stories and also 8th-year stories, so I was really curious about this fic because it gets a lot of hype on recs groups and also on Tiktok. While I was reading this story, sometimes I wanted to scream, cry or punch Draco in the face. He's totally possessive and maybe a little bit obsessive, and also don't forget that he's toxic too in this story. Hermione's submissiveness was very out of character, but at the same time, I enjoyed and loved it. (I'm also that typical girl who needs to be in control everywhere, but damn, in the bed, I want to be the one who's not in control.. yes, I'm a bottom too, smh). There was: Ron bashing (honestly, he bashes himself), veryyyy good smut scenes, toxic relationship, and emotional damage (for me at least). Oh, I hated Lavender so much in this one, I just wanted to hit her sometimes, ugh, she's annoying. I'll definitely continue this with the sequel. Definitely worth to read. Maybe I have my new fav story....more
I have mixed feelings about this. I was curious about the sequel, but then my interest went downhill, just like this story. It's not that interesting I have mixed feelings about this. I was curious about the sequel, but then my interest went downhill, just like this story. It's not that interesting and enjoyable anymore... at least for me. Maybe because I didn't like the ending of the first story, or maybe because they meet again as teachers almost 10 years later... And their relationship, scenes are not like anymore. Not that good. I'm sorry but I just couldn't enjoy this story. + It's unfinished. ...more
I only give 3 stars, because this story messed me up so fcking hard. I read it years ago, but after I finished the whole series, I just couldn't read I only give 3 stars, because this story messed me up so fcking hard. I read it years ago, but after I finished the whole series, I just couldn't read Dramione stories for months.. I was freaking traumatized and I wasn't ready to read any Draco/Hermione fanfiction. DEFINITELY mind the trigger warnings! Toxic, unhealthy, and traumatizing, you definitely need a stomach for this one.. Well-written, but very disturbing at the same time.

I hadIf you thought the first book was disturbing and horrible, you'll be horrified after you finish this book. Honestly, I don't know what to say... I had to jump over several parts because I just couldn't take it... the rape scenes and the way Draco acts... awful and terrible. He's beyond obsessive and we all know that since the 1st book, but still I got surprised and horrified at some parts.
If you don't have a stomach for very dark and unhealthy themes, this is not for you. I love dark stories but this was too much for me. I needed a big break from reading Dramione stories because this story ruined me in so many ways.
Definitely not gonna reread this one.. I don't want to suffer anymore.

I only give four starts, because I hate the ending, and I'm disappointed.

Actually, I really enjoyed and loved this fic, which surprised me, because I thought I'm not gonna like it because of the lot of smut scenes. Yes, this fic basically is about smut and sex, but it was still good and enjoyable. I loved their relationship in this fic, ofc they were out of character but somehow I didn't care about it! Draco telling her, he loves her... GOSH, THAT RUINED ME BECAUSE I KNEW SOMETHING BAD GONNA HAPPEN, GOSH.

Ofc he's toxic, just like in the first story, but in this one, he's way too obsessive and toxic for my liking. He's calling Hermione sl*t or wh*re in every smut scene which is ruining the whole smut for me. I didn't like their characters in this story, it felt different. I'm sorry but I was disappointed, I expected better. ...more
