Hello!

Welcome to my blog! I would love to hear from you, so feel free to use the contact form or comment with recommendations, your opinions of the different fandoms, fics, pairings, whatever!

P.S. A lot of the fics I'll be talking about contain explicit sex/violence. I won't be quoting or going into detail, but I'll probably be making some kind of remark about it. So, if you get squeamish at the mere mention of sex and/or violence, this probably isn't the blog for you.

Pairing:
Hermione/Remus

Fanfiction.net Summary:
Moony growled suddenly. 'This is my only warning, mate. I will have you, whether the human likes it or not. You will give in to me because we are destined to be together and you’ll find you can’t deny me.' COMPLETE!

GrangerEnchanted.com Summary:
Moony growled suddenly.  "This is my only warning, mate. I will have you, whether the human likes it or not. You will give in to me because we are destined to be together and you’ll find you can’t deny me."   She couldn't, no matter how hard she tried, Hermione couldn't deny the wolf...but what will happen to the man and his previously chosen mate?  And is she truly the connection between man and beast?

Review:
I love fics that involve the whole "mate" concept, whether it's Veela, vampires, or werewolves. In this story, the wolf is basically another personality separate from Remus, which I found fascinating. However, there was a small issue of infidelity, and Tonks wasn't painted in the best light. Despite all that, it was a great read!

Favorite Aspect:
The sort of split personality between the wolf and the man.

Review:
I really liked the concept for this one, where Hermione winds up in a sort of alternate reality where many aspects of her life are different. Then she winds up back in her original life and uses her knowledge from the alternate reality to seduce Draco. There are some pretty hot and steamy scenes that pumped up my heart rate, too!

Favorite Aspect:
The entire idea of being careful what you wish for.

GrangerEnchanted.com Summary:
7th year. Draco and Hermione awaken in a Muggle hotel room, naked, hung-over and tattooed. They also happen to be married. Thus begin a desperate search for a solution to their sticky situation. After all, who in their right mind would want to be married to Draco Malfoy? Surely not Hermione…

Review:
I just re-read this fic about a week ago. I liked the idea of Draco and Hermione suddenly finding themselves in a marriage, and the fact that the they had gotten marriage tattoos made the idea even more interesting. It was fun reading about how both of them were against the idea, but then coming around to it while having to deal with a Death Eater recruiter at the same time.

Something I appreciate now that I hadn't realized previously is that this it doesn't really strike me as being a Hogwarts fic. It's difficult to explain, but for me it felt more like the setting just happened to be Hogwarts, rather than making the story about the school experience.

Favorite Aspect:
The marriage tattoos were really cool, although I kind of wish there was a little bit more about them.

Restoration by Elise de Sallier

Story Rating:

Pairing:
Bella/Edward

Fanfiction.net Summary:
Resigned to her lonely fate, Bella risks her life to rescue a man left for dead by enemy soldiers. Edward turns out to be a little more than she bargained for, his presence awakening dangerous desires and inspiring dreams that could change her life—and the course of a Kingdom—forever. A Cinderbella tale.

Review:
I've always loved original spins on fairy tales, so this story immediately caught my eye. It was a bit predictable in terms of what angst was going to be thrown in, but there was enough originality that I enjoyed it. I'm not sure if I'll ever re-read it, but if you like fairy tales as much as I do, then you'll probably enjoy this.

Favorite Aspect:
The fact that it wasn't in modern times.

Fanfiction.net: The Case of the Creature Kidnappings by frostykitten

Story Rating:
T/PG-13

Status:
Complete

Pairing:
Hermione/Draco, Dramione

Fanfiction.net Summary:
"What your puny mind doesn't understand, Potter, is that she does the paperwork I hate, and I do the dirty work that grates on her Gryffindor sensibilities." Hermione and Draco have been partners working in the Department for Control and Regulation of Magical Creatures for years, but their comfortable partnership is shaken up when creatures go missing and the Aurors get involved.

Review:
This was such a great combination of humor, action, and romance. I loved the build-up to the romance because it was far more realistic than many of the other Dramione romances I've read. This author is one of my favorite Dramione writers because of this, and also because of the humor thrown in. I love the banter between Draco and Hermione.

Favorite Aspect:
The way that the humor isn't completely ridiculous, but rather fitting for the story.

Twilighted.net Summary:
A tale about a hockey-playing boy who loves his girl. This is Edward's story from Major Misconduct.

Review:
Pretty much all I said about Major Misconduct. Even though it's all the same events, your perspective changes slightly since Edward is the one telling the story. I loved seeing how Edward viewed all of their interactions- most of the time I had assumed something different from what was actually going through his head. I don't think it matters, but I would recommend reading Major Misconduct first. I think there are one or two references made that you might not fully understand if you read Coincidental Major first.

Favorite Aspect:
The way the insight into Edward's head was different from what I had imagined while reading Major Misconduct, but better.

Review:
One of the first Twilight fanfics I ever read, this definitely opened me up to the world of All-Human Twilight characters. I read this several years ago, when I was closer in age and mentality to the high school characters. Re-reading it now, I still enjoy it, but I don't think I would have developed quite the same attachment to it that I have. If you're not into high school fics, then I wouldn't recommend it, but if you're willing to give it a try, I would definitely tell you to go for it. It has a great combination of romance and angst/action.

The Bella and Edward of this story are definitely ones that I prefer over the traditional personalities. Bella is still shy and looks at Edward with awe, but she develops more of a backbone and doesn't question their relationship every other second. Edward is still sort of possessive, but in a way that I see as being more protective than controlling. And the sexual tension in this is INTENSE. This writer has a real way of making my heart pound in my chest while reading some of the make-out and sex scenes.

The rating on this story is definitely deserved. The sex scenes can get pretty explicit (typical of what you might expect from an M/NC-17 Twilight story), and there is a cringe-worthy fight scene.

If you like this story, I would highly recommend the companion piece in EPOV, Coincidental Major (links above, review found here). It's great to see how Edward perceived all of their interactions.

Favorite Aspect:
The personalities of Bella and Edward being similar enough to the originals that it's not like the author wasn't paying attention, but different enough in a very good way to make the story better.

On the morning of Remus and Tonks wedding Hermione falls victim to one of the Weasley twins’ experiments and is accidentally thrown 20 years into the past. Only one thing remains certain, horrible things happen to those who meddle with time… RLHG

GrangerEnchanted.com Summary:
On the morning of Remus and Tonks wedding Hermione falls victim to one of the Weasley twins’ experimental inventions and is accidentally thrown 20 years into the past. Not knowing whether she will ever be able to go back to her own time she decides to start to make a new life for herself. But, what happens when she returns and her new life and old life must combine? How will she cope?

One thing is certain, horrible things happen to those who meddle with time…

Review:
Fantastic story. If you've read a million time travel fics like I have, then you know that they can get a bit repetitive, but this one definitely has its own twist (although I may be biased, since this is actually one of the very first time travel fics I ever read...). Hermione winds up becoming Remus' mate- a theme I wish I could find in more stories. Now that I'm thinking about it, I guess I wish that there was a little bit more action (of the Death Eater fighting variety), but it's still a great story. I've re-read this one several times- it's that good.

As for the maturity rating, some of the sex scenes are a bit explicit, but there aren't a huge number (only a handful). It's not overly violent or anything either.

Favorite Aspect:
The idea of Hermione being Remus' mate- that concept that people are bound on a magical level like that makes me all gooey inside.
