Draco Malfoy and The Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love by isthisselfcare

this. fucking. fic. y’all i’m obsessed.

just…fantastically hilarious and charming writing. a+ banter. auror bodyguard draco malfoy responsible for aggressively competent healer/doctor/professor hermione granger?? be still my beating heart.

i could quote entire chapter’s worth of utterly delightful writing. just read it. do it.[1]

My current absolute fav. Thank you to @mightbewriting (whose Wait & Hope series you should be reading!) for recommending this on her tumblr several weeks ago. This is simply top-notch! And THE BANTER (!!) IN THIS IS TOP-NOTCH. I really, really cannot express enough words to tell you how amazing and hilarious this story is. You WILL get butterflies! And squeal and smile in your room like the Dramione idiot that you are. I love this story so much that I couldn’t stop at just one collage, and so did a second inspired by the latest chapter.[2]

I can’t stress enough how much this is one of my favorite fics I’ve read. It took me a couple chapters to get into but IT’S SO SLOW BURN AND SO GENUINELY FUNNY and the author has a book being published next year that I’ll definitely be purchasing.[3]
