Hi! Wanted to make readers aware of a new Dramione fic blog, in which I analyze novel-length fics through a literary crit perspective and weighted scorecard. Each review will be spoiler-free, but discuss genre, tone, writing style, characterization, setting, external plot development, and romantic plot development.

As there are so many wonderful fics out there (and Dramione is not a “one size fits all” fandom), choosing your next novel-length binge can be daunting. The purpose of this blog is to hopefully eliminate DNFs for readers as well as cut down on the decision-making process for readers.

Fics that have been reviewed so far: A Season for Setting Fires, Meet Your Match, Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love. Much more come come. Check us out, and let us know if you would like to submit a review of your own!

(Thank you, dramioneasks, for your work akd helping promote this blog!)

Sherlolly, Questions, Part 3

If you had to pick an alternate career path (AU, like Coffee Shop, Professor, etc.) for Sherlock and Molly, what would it be?

Sherlock as a fake psychic who’s been part of Moriarty’s crime network, getting information on his clients that he passes on to his boss who uses what Sherlock tells him as leverage or blackmail.

But then one day DI Molly Hooper, new at the London Met, shows up looking for his help on a case - missing kids, the kidnapped children of a visiting royal - because he’s renowned for his accuracy. While working the case together Sherlock begins to question his life and choices, because Molly’s goodness and kindness is unlike anything he’s ever experienced.

What he doesn’t know is that Molly came to him because she suspects his and Moriarty’s involvement in the kidnapping.

What she doesn’t know is that she’s about to embark on the greatest love affair of her life.

And what neither of them know is that Moriarty can’t have loose ends. Sherlock and Molly can’t be allowed to threaten his network being exposed, so he’s put a hit out on both of them.

Any fics where Crooks likes Draco better than he does Hermione? Bonus points if she's befuddled about it.

You're amazing and you're doing God's work. ♥️

A Common Cause - JaycieVictory - T, one-shot - Draco was determined to win Hermione for himself. Hermione’s cat had other ideas.

Her Guardian - CosmicCthulhu - G, one-shot - Draco wants to apologise and make amends with Granger, but her old and grumpy familiar is making things hard for him.

A Different Kind of Loyalty By: JDPhoenix - K+, one-shot - Crookshanks has always had good taste in people, so when Hermione finds him with Draco Malfoy she finds herself reassessing his character.

Pussy Patrol - LightofEvolution, MrBenzedrine89 - M, one-shot - Loved ones from Hermione and Draco’s lives go missing. Now it’s up to them to figure out where they’ve gone and what they’re up to. But will it bring them closer together in the process?

Crookshanks - The Wisdom of a Cat by SunRae5 - G, one-shot - Over the years, it becomes apparent that there is something about Crookshanks which slowly causes Hermione to despair and Harry to smile. Because nothing quite beats the wisdom of a cat.

This small piece of dialogue is pretty revealing when it comes to Sherlock’s feelings towards Molly. Usually when a friend tells another friend that they’re getting engaged, the very first thing they say is “I’m so happy for you” but Sherlock doesn’t say that. Here, Sherlock says “I hope you’ll be very happy”. This is a pretty big giveaway showing us that Sherlock isn’t happy at all with this and is trying his best to keep up a stiff upper lip. I’d say that’s evidence enough that Sherlock is falling for her.

I’m so excited over how Sherlock’s become so protective of Molly and it really shows when he asks her how are things with Tom. He’s anxious about this Tom guy because the last time Molly was with someone, it was with the most dangerous man in the city, and so he’s looking out for her safety.

So it’s not just jealousy fueling him to ask about Tom, but a sense of protectiveness because Sherlock isn’t going to let anyone hurt the woman who matters most to him. I shudder to think of what Sherlock might do to someone who would dare try to.

May I please get some recs on fics where a dramione secret relationship is revealed because their patronous changes?

The Dragon’s Out of the Bag by CosmicCthulhu - E, one-shot - Who’d guess that Draco Malfoy being able to cast a Patronus would be the least interesting thing to happen during class. Excerpt: “A sickle for your thoughts?” She heard him ask, breaking her line of thought as his hand slowly massaged the underside of her breasts while he pressed a kiss to her hair. “Oh – it’s nothing.” “Come on now. I can see the gears in your head turning. You have a very particular thinking face.” She turned on her spot to meet his eyes, nibbling on her lower lip and grimacing a little. “I think we should tell our friends about us.”

Shared by Molly Hooper… 

Noted (with interest) by Sherlock Holmes. 

SCIENCE PENGWINGS GO WILD!

They’re being vomit-inducing… Well, more vomit-inducing than normal. 

Because Molly keeps blushing and smiling. Sherlock keeps grinning devilishly at her, his eyebrows- God help them all- waggling as he politely inquires after the pathologist’s health? Inquires whether she’s having a good day? Molly’s cheeks pink as she tells him she’s fine, handing him the icebox of tumours with a fond smile. 

John finds it both adorable and deeply, deeply disturbing to see them like this. 

Not that he’s surprised. Ever since Sherrinford- well, truth be told, ever since the coffin in Sherrinford- John had known that his best friend’s feelings towards Molly Hooper were rather more than platonic. It takes a man grieving the love of his life to recognise someone else fearing the loss of theirs. But to see them? Like this? Acting like- to use Donovan’s phrase- a pair of Lusty Science Pengwings?  

That, John’s not sure he’ll ever get used to. 

Nevertheless he looks politely away when Sherlock darts a cheeky peck to Molly’s lips and she retaliates by kissing him back and giving his hair a rather obvious, rather noticeable pull. John could live his entire life without hearing the sound his friend makes when she does that, but well, here he is. When Bonnie and Clyde pull apart, Sherlock looks starry-eyed and Molly looks like a cat who definitely got the cream, her smile wicked as she pats his collar back into place and scoots herself up to sit on the Victorian experiments table. She swings her legs until Sherlock pushes her knees gentl apart and steps in between them. 

“Well,” Molly says. “That’s…”

“Isn’t it, though?” He grins. 

And then, like the lovestruck idiot he clearly is, he swoops in and kisses Molly again. 

Her giggles trill through the flat, his bass laughter watching her. 

Trying to distract himself John looks around, picks up the paper. He scans the headline, frowning: Apparently someone had broken into the Royal Botanical Gardens’ largest greenhouse again. It was the third time in as many weeks. Even stranger, a gentleman’s top hat and a corset had been found at the scene, as well as… 

Well, that was interesting. 

Apparently the famous Worth Tea Gown, which had disappeared from the V&A three weeks ago, had been found in the greenhouse. On loan from the Met in New York, it had disappeared along with two other Worth originals, a selection of Victorian lingerie, some painfully expensive Victorian jewellery and a tiara which had once belonged to Tsarina Alexandra of Russia… 

When found, the gown had apparently been in excellent condition, though it had smelt of a woman’s perfume and, ever so slightly, of formaldehyde. 

Weird. 

An expert was being flown in from New York to authenticate the gown, but apparently the V&A were quite satisfied that the original had been returned- They’d been so worried about it that they’d tried to hire Sherlock but the detective had been utterly uninterested in taking the case. John wonders now whether his friend will be interested in tracking down the other two missing gowns, and the jewellery. A sizeable reward is being offered, and not even Sherlock can live by Molly Snogging alone… 

Still, when he asks Sherlock, the detective still demurrs. 

“I’m sure everything will be returned in good time,” he says. “After all, there’s another month before the V&A have to send everything back.” 

John’s about to inquire how Sherlock can be so sure, but before he can Molly whispers something in his friend’s ear and sets about dragging him off to his bedroom… 

“Well. That’s my cue,” John mutters, putting on his coat. He is NOT listening to what’s coming next. Smiling despite himself, he shakes his head in amusement at the Lusty Science Pengwings and slips out of 221B

If he’d stayed, he might have noticed that Tsarina Alexandra’s diamond tiara is hidden in the microwave.

Fortunately however, he does not.

Six Sentence Sunday- 5/15/22

“Sherlock, you really shouldn’t combine those two chemicals.”

“Haven’t had a case all week, what do you expect me to do?” Sherlock replied glumly, barely looking up as he continued setting some beakers out on his kitchen table.

Molly sighed heavily, already taking her coat off and setting her bag down. “If I stay and we order takeaway and play Cluedo, will you put the dangerous chemicals away?”

A grin instantly bloomed on his lips as he pushed the beakers aside, took off his safety goggles, and excitedly said, “I was thinking Chinese, or I’d also be open to that little Greek place we haven’t tried yet, but what do you think?”

“What I think is that this was your plan all along and now I’m going to have to mercilessly beat you at Operation after Cluedo.”
