LF Feel-good/not as dark & complete fics that are longer?

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Our community has helped me in so many ways throughout the years, so I am super grateful for y’all <3

Had fallen into the comfort of re-reading instead of discovering new fics for a while (since bloody slutty), so I’m trying to branch out this break.

I love longer slow-burn fics that are HEA. Minimal Ron bashing is great. Used to be into 8th year fics, but now I think I’ve moved on to post war & post Hogwarts 🙂

  • Some of my all time favs are: Remain Nameless, The Eagle’s Nest, The Right/Wrong series, Sex Ed, Gloriana Set, etc

  • Past favs: Isolation, Clean/Marked, Disappearances of DM, Apple Pie, RiskReward, BMBS etc

  • I also LOVED Manacled/the Auction/ House Pet but HP is WIP and Manacled broke me forever.

  • Recently read Dreamland and am reading Mortifying Ordeal right now (love both).

I have Measure of a Man, Lionheart, and Detraquee on my list, but the last two are absolute beasts of a story and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to make the leap of faith. It was difficult to get a sense of what kind of Dramione they were because they are longer! Has anyone read any of these and can point me in the right direction?

Apologies for the long post, as I just wanted to share what I’ve read/loved in case it helps!

TLDR; Thoughts on long fics like Lionheart/Detraquee & any other recs for longer slow burn but HEA fics that aren’t too dark would be lovely. (post-marriage or middle aged Dramione is not my cup of tea, though😅)

Thank you everyone 🩶
