Why Read This?

Synopsis

Fandom: Harry Potter Relationship: Draco Malfoy/Hermione Granger -------------------------------------------------- Sometimes you're sad. Sometimes you need dessert. And sometimes, it's a little of both. Runner-Up of the Winter 2017 Dramione Fanfiction Awards, "Best Epic-Sized Fic."

At a Glance

If baking is therapy, this fic is the whole session. Hermione copes with war trauma one pastry at a time, delivering treats to fellow survivors until she reaches the last door on her list: Malfoy Manor. What unfolds is less enemies-to-lovers fireworks and more two bruised souls finding common ground over flour-dusted countertops. The Malfoy family redemption arc is one of the best in Dramione fandom—earned, messy, and genuinely moving.

When & Where to ReadContext matters. Some books are Beach Trip energy, others are 3am Bedtime spiral-reads. Trust.
