I have looked into etiquette for fanfiction and will be following the community etiquette below. I will still give spice levels so that others know what they are getting into in case they want low spice reads.

My Thoughts
A must read for Dramione lovers.
I slept on this waaay too long. One disclaimer is that if you are driven mad by slow… slow… slow burns then just prep yourself.
The relationship between Draco and Hermione in this one is amazingly funny. The banter is great. And while this version of Draco isn’t quite as aggressively possessive as some others that I have loved he still had the don’t touch my girl vibes. I like that this version kept the characters personality quirks. Hermione’s stubbornness and Draco’s sarcasm.
The spice is on point. The tension and the mutual pining are slow paced through the majority of the book but definitely pick up as you read. For me, the relationship development was completely worth the wait.
