Manacled

I am a sucker for angsty fanfics and this is how I came into this fic although I am not a fan of Dramione in general.

On one hand, the writing is excellent, but on the other hand everything in this fic is so removed from canon - the tone of the fic and characterisations of the Trio to boot - I had problem believing I was reading a HP fanfic if not for the character names. Also the development of romance between Draco and Hermione just seemed forced to me.

For the whole time I was binge-reading this fic just so I could get to the ending and be done with it, but even the ending was anticlimatic. Nothing changed in the Old World and the two were stuck on an island for the rest of their lives.

I much prefer “Do Not Go Gentle” from the same author which is the only believable Snamione fic I have so far come across.
