Harry Potter is dead. In the aftermath of the war, in order to strengthen the might of the magical world, Voldemort enacts a repopulation effort. Hermione Granger has an Order secret, lost but hidden in her mind, so she is sent as an enslaved surrogate to the High Reeve, to be bred and monitored until her mind can be cracked.
Fanfiction for Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling.
Honestly don't know how it makes sense, im not even a fan of Harry Potter, but this fic is a staple in Dramione fics, and now i get it, i could not put it down despite the darker themes and tones, i loved the dual timeline, and i could not stop reading despite how big it was
Absolutely the best fanfic i've ever read, totally destroyed me. I cry every time I read it.
I am 42 years old and I've never read a fanfic. I've just always been afraid that if I ever did I would lose track of what was "real" so I've always just avoided it all. Plus I felt like the writing would be subpar. However, I saw a Dramione fanart on Instagram and at first I was like what the hell is a Dramione, but then when I read the comments I was so intrigued I couldn't resist finding Manacled and devouring it. It's so freaking good, the pairing itself makes more sense than Ron and Hermione ever did, but overall it's just so well-written I am rethinking all my ideas about fanfic. I absolutely love this.
