      Fr, the only problem I had with this entire fanfic was literally just the ending that implied the daughter and her friend who she grew up with were going to have feelings for each other. I thought they were going to be siblings and was so excited to see a girl and boy be nothing more than friends. But that was just my own headcanon :')

      @@ettaetta439idk to me it was clear that Aurore inherited her possessive passion from her parents (the Malfoy ‘dragon’ gene) + she always had to be distant from her peers hiding the truth about her family etc - the only person she could truly be herself with and who understood her and she didn’t have to explain anything or lie to was James. Also from that scene where Aurore goes to sleep in James’ room after Ginny leaves I could see it in her, he was ‘hers’. But that’s just me, I get that realistically they’d potentially be more like family almost but within the context of the fic it made sense to me. James also moved away (brought to Britain with Ginny) when they were both under 10 and they went to separate schools etc so they didn’t really grow up like siblings after that point.

    Spoilers:
    Ok the way how during the flashbacks, Hermione tries to argue for the Order to use dark magic to win, and Harry argues that the good guys will win bc that’s how it’s written in all the history books. Hermione says history is written by the victors and isn’t necessarily true…and then for the last line of the book to be “She was a non-active member of the Order of the Phoenix and did not fight.” 😭😭😭
    I just finished this book for the first time and I can’t stop thinking about it. When I first started, I thought, Draco def doesn’t seem like he wants to hurt Hermione, but how could he possibly redeem himself for them to fall in love…and then we get the flashbacks and find out they were already in love, and he had to do those things to the woman he loves more than anyone, while reading her thoughts, knowing she sees him as a monster. 😭😭😭

    You should read "The Disappearances of Draco Malfoy" by Speechwriter. It's basically a replacement for the Deathly Hallows where Draco took Dumbledore's offer to go in hiding with the Order of the Phoenix instead of what actually happened. It is the closest to J.K. Rowling's writing and canon that I have ever read in fanfiction. The plot and romance are both amazing!

    I love me a good romance, especially when Dramione is involved, and I was anticipating a lot of spice for this fanfic as I had for previous Dramione fanfics. But even though it didn't have as much romance and spice as I had hoped, the intimate details and intricate plot throughout the entire story were phenomenal. I was SOBBING by the end of it, my heart felt like someone had ripped it out and thrown it into a pot of fire and I never wanted to leave the warmth and comfort of my bed. The scenes between Draco and Hermione, specifically in the flashback section, had me kicking my feet and blushing and I am actually really appreciative of SenLinYu for not including tooooo much spice cause the amount of what they have is perfect imo. Nothing. NOTHING. Will ever. EVER. Beat Manacled for me in terms of Dramione in the world of fanfiction. I will never forget this story and I will never be the same as I was before I read it the first time. GOOD GOD.

    Remain Nameless is my favorite Dramione. Slow burn, but soooo good! Draco falls just as hard in this one as in Manacled in my opinion. He worships her. Guilt, shame, and insecurity are big themes in this one, but they work through it, and its honestly some of the most natural telling of a relationship I've read.

      I don't like it. The first part was a pleasant read and, as you said, it felt very real and not over-the-top for me but at some point it got very repetitive in my opinion. I guess I would've liked it had it been more concise, overall shorter. That said, to each their own; some Dramione fanfictions I like are Manacled (NOBODY can change my mind; this is my all-time number one), Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love (hilarious and well-written, albeit the last few chapters were too forced with lots of repetitive and utterly illogical smut), The Disappearances of Draco Malfoy (surprised me- it's got a completely different kind of feel than most of the very good ones and it's sort of unique to me), Secrets and Masks (both funny - spoiler: Theo Nott - and dreadful in a good way; I guess I would've liked the epilogue not to be there but I know many people probably liked it), Let the Dark In (yet to be completed unfortunately but, as usual, Senlinyu is IMMENSE).

    A few of my other favorites, for anyone who looks for inspiration, are: The Auction, The Fallout, From Wiltshire with love and Cruel and beautiful world. All of them are more darker fics, if you are into that.

    Finished it a few hours ago and I am in pain. I have never cried so much reading a single book, I had never read a fan fic before but I've grown up reading Harry Potter and I had heard so much about Manacled. It's safe to say I can never read the Harry Potter books again. It hurts too much, it's just despair. I sobbed so much when it ended and when I was done crying, I just sat and stared into a distance for almost an hour thinking about it. Finished reading it in three days and they were absolute hell. I find myself thinking of it randomly as I'm going about my day and it hurts. I'm highly sensitive and it did trigger a lot of my trauma but the warnings helped a little. I'm just crushed. That last line, I just -- it hurts.

    Manacled was one of the first works I was fortunate enough to find and read on Ao3 when I first became interested in this Draco and Hermione relationship. Early on I noticed the nods to the Handmaid's Tale, which made me even more interested in this story. I almost don't like to read any subject that contains sexual abuse or rape, but in this case I didn't care and kept reading. The ending was quite touching on Aurore's side, but quite sad and frustrating on her parents' side. An excellent work from beginning to end, perhaps the only thing that irritated me a bit was Hermone's sentimentality; but I understand, it was a war and a destruction of itself.

    I looked at fanfiction as something several notches lower than "actual" literature... and to an extent, I still can't say fanfiction has redeemed itself in my eyes but- Manacled was my first plunge into that world (by mere chance, as I was actually looking for something else entirely but clicked on the wrong link and found several quotes of the work, which is what inspired me to say, "oh well, let me give this a try", albeit I wasn't really expecting much). I can positively say that, notwithstanding the limits of something being published along months in bits and pieces with no full rereading first, Manacled IS in fact a beautiful piece of LITERATURE (and supposedly, it's not even MY type of book to begin with).
    I was gladly surprised and have since learnt bookbinding in order to make it into the hardcover version it DESERVES to be. As I mentioned earlier, I can't say I'm into fanfiction but that definitely prodded me into reading a few more novels of the lot every once in a while, between a Mazzantini and a Dostoevskij's book. 😂
    I'm thankful to both Senlinyu and artist Avendell for this unexpected gem.

      SenLinYu is a gifted author. She spins the Potterverse in many directions. All You Want is smut and Let the dark In has almost a Laurie Forrest Black Witch sort of feeling.
      Discovering the dearth of Dramione fanfiction was a surprise to me but a welcome rabbit hole to go down this winter.

  • @jb689

    Alright. So, I read Manacled because of this video (I've heard about this fic before, though). I have never read Harry Potter books and I don't think that I watched even one movie completely, so I'm not part of the fanbase. I was here for the dark romance 😅
    What I liked about this fic:
    The way how war affects people was described very realistically. The underlying message that in war there is no black and white, "good" can be evil and "bad" is not always what it seems - delivered very well.
    The author took her time for developing the romance. I liked that the characters spent time together, experienced things, achieved things together - and all of that ultimately became the foundation for a love which was... strong, despite occational "lies". The scene where Draco says "Hermione, I'm tired" shows how much they trust each other. Loved the part about Hermione healing Darco like nobody else, "in his arms", "open-mouthed kisses... while she muttered spells". UH, my heart!!!
    What also stood out for me was the little details which showed how well Hermione knew Harry and Ron, how close they once have been. This story of how even strong friendships can slowly drift apart... - very realistic.
    What I didn't like so much:
    I, too, was on edge at the end, expecting something bad to happen, same as the characters. Therefore, the happy end was a little bit disappointing. I got the feeling that the author decided that they endured enough and are allowed now to live a quiet life 😅 Mmmmmm.... Let's say I was not convinced... Especially Dracos character was somewhat... abandoned? I would have expected more at that point... It was all too easy... Maybe it would have been better not to write the epilogues and let the readers imagine the rest...
    I ended up a bit confused. I think it was clearly suggested that Snape used a love potion on Draco, no? And I understood that Hermione found it out. I was constantly expecting this to be one of the plot twists, but it was never developed further?... Nobody cared?... Mmmm... I'm confused and somewhat disappointed, too...
    With regard to the last sentence everybody is crying about.. I don't think that it's not fair. It is a misinformation, yes, but that was the desired result. Hermione said herself that she did not want to be a hero. She and Draco wanted to be left alone, they wanted to disappear - therefore, they just succeeded. The way how everybody else behaved during the war - seemingly uncaring and exploiting - it is unfortunate, yes, but this is what people do when they are desperate. Again, there is no black and white... Hermione did fight of course, with everything she had. She lost everything in the war. But just because we read a story about her and Draco's sacrifices does not mean that she fought the most. Harry and Ron fought with all they had, too. I understand that you might want her to have an own chapter in that history book, but she didn't want that. In wars there will be always unknown heroes. I would take this story as a lesson and reminder of that and that things are not always what they seem. Very realistic.
    Thank you for the recommendation and the read ❤

    I loved Manacled. It was a complete emotional rollercoaster! I felt it was so well written and descriptive of this horrible alternative world where Voldermort won - where Ron Harry and the othet resistance members were so devastatingly changed by war. Shadow’s of their former selves. How broken Hermione was and yet she kept going, kept fighting, kept going despite nearly dying so many times. Draco was her complete opposite and they found each other navigating this horrific world together. Spoiler alert - I shouted ‘Yes’ and fist pumped when finding out Ginny was alive and Draco had hidden her to protect her and Harrys son James. I was so glad Ginny got her revenge and killed Voldermort! Go Ginny!!! The ties in with the Handmaids tale worked so well! It was fantastic. Could not put it down. And yes - its true - sometimes history books credit those least deserving and forget key players… for Herminone not to be credited with her part in the war was heartbreaking! You’ll laugh, cry, be in shock, confusion and disgust at this books moments. It’s incredible. Wouldn’t change it for the world. Finally a proper redemption story for Draco Malfoy!! One he deserves ❤😢

    Since i am not good at typing in english i went to ChatGT to make me own Dramione fanfiction.(I have a strong dislike for the HP canon post book 3 and move over to other books like PJ but i still like fanfiction about HP)
    It was about year 6 in an AU in where Hermione and Draco where dating and despite Dracos genuine love for Hermione he is still a bully towards Harry and Ron behind Hermiones back. Ron especially is because his cruse of Hermione pissed of about that and plot to framed Draco for thievery so that he get expelled and Hermione will forget about him. Harry is reculant at first but Ron knows to talk Harry into helping him and it works and draco get expelled. Ron is glad at frist but soon sees dat Hermione is quiet and sad also she has become pale and doenst barely eat since she missed Draco.
    Ron sees that he was selfish and begins to feel guilty that he made Hermione so sad so he confress his actions to Hermione and she is shocked at first but forgives him. When the truth is revealed Draco is allowed to come back to Hogwarts and remained a bully towards Harry en Ron behind Hermiones back. Ron however ignores him since Hermione loves him and is willing to tolerate Draco because of that.
    Unfortnuate ChatGT cannot saves the fanfictions so i hope to write it on a fanfiction net one day when i can properly type.

    I feel like the book has great characters and an interesting plot but it fails in important ways. Maybe this is not a "valid" criticism but it is not uplifting. I feel like a book should have a point. What was the point of this book? People make a lot of sacrifices and ultimately no one knows? The epilogue didn't go anywhere. Yes, it hit in the gut - but what was the point? Another point of contention for me was how Harry and Ron treated Hermione. In fact, the whole order. I have a hard time believing that when Hermione saved Ginny's life, Ron was angry at her for not feeling the appropriate way. I just don't believe it. It would have been more touching if they still had a strong connection.
    Ultimately, I liked Julie Soto's fanfics a lot more.
    And I have a hard time categorizing this book as a romance because the ending is not an HEA. Yes the main characters stay together but they are devastated by the war. It's not really what I was expecting.

But I absolutely 10000000% recommend Measure Of A Man by InaDaze22. It’s a slow burn, slowww burn. But it’s so beautifully written and I feel like you get to know the characters so well. The attachment I have to this fanfic is crazy. The romance and intimacy in it just makes my heart race. I’d give anything to know your thoughts on it 😂❤
