The Dramione Podcast

Missed you sooo "muchly", dearest Dramione friends

Welcome baaack, dearest Dramione fans from all over the world! To be more precise, you, our amazing listeners, come from 46 different countries. Isn't it awesome how Dramione brings all of us together? No matter the background, we all adore Hermione & Draco's love stories. It's been 5 months since our last episode (OMG!) and we've done our homework. Georgy and I believe we haven't had an episode with SO many new fanfic recommendations... All truly wonderful, satisfying all kinds of tastes and some... truly God-tier Dramione fics. You're in not for 1, not for 2, but for 20+ Dramione stories (actually, there must be 30+, but we don't want to make an overstatement). So, here's what we cover: - Fanfics we haven't mentioned before (they somehow didn't fit in our episodes' topics, or they belong to tropes that Georgy and Diana don't read as much, or they depicted Hermione and Draco differently than we see them... BUT they are good, well-written and pretty popular fics, which are absolutely worth mentioning and we wanted to make sure you know about them) - Christmas fic recommendations ('tis the season) - Fanfics we read recently and enjoyed very much (including a recently discovered must-read author for all Dramione fans out there) We started this episode by reading the brilliant emails from you, but if you want to skip that part, simply start listening at around minute 40. If you would like to drop us a line, share with us a fic or a thought or a feeling, our hearts are more than happy to hear from you at thedramionepodcast@gmail.com. Much, much love from us to you and may you start 2023 with a smile on your face, a light heart, good ideas, divine inspiration and deep insight.

Welcome back, dearest Dramione fans

Happy Valentine's Day to you, dearest Dramione fanfic friends!!! Diana and Georgy here with a special episode for you on this special day - We almost forgot to mention this until towards the end, probably because we are in love... in love with Draco :D! Honestly, we think that there are so many categories under "Best Draco", we could have a Draco centric podcast. However, this is our last Best Draco episodes… for now :), so let's enjoy it with all our hearts. This week we have new Best Draco categories, this time Diana's choices, with a different perspective, based on his traits and features. Let's see what comes out of it, heheee. Here are the categories for you: 1. Draco truest to character 2. Sweetest/ Softest Draco 3. Dom Draco (hot!) 4. Creature Draco 5. Best Redemption Arc 6. Draco making a life for himself So much excitement in the air to reveal the winners in these categories! Tell us what we missed, guys. Which ones are your favorites

Holaaa, dearest Dramione fan! Diana and Georgy here! We're so excited to be recording today's episode: Not only are we recording this face to face and it's the first episode of the year, but we also get to talk about our favorite tall blonde smirking prat Slytherin. Who could it beee? Yes, you have guessed it… it's the Best Dracos episode, or... at least one of the Best Draco episodes, because HOW can one include all of them in just one episode? Today's classification was decided by Georgy, who thought that a more chronological approach was best: 1. School era Draco: Before 8th year 2. School era Draco: 8th year 3. War time Draco 4. Voldemort Wins AU Draco 5. Post-war Draco 6. Dad Draco Sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee, tea, hot chocolate, wine or... lemon water and listen to our picks and descriptions of these irresistible Dracos *sigh*. We mention how they are, what fanfic they're in and what the fanfic is about, too. In the next episode, the categories will be decided by Diana, who has a very different way of categorizing her Dracos (make sure you are subscribed to the podcast to get the notification when new episodes are out). In the end, no matter what, we both love most Dracos endlessly and, as you have already noticed, we can talk about them endlessly (we were actually late for our brunch with our girlfriends because of this episode). We included a little heart-warming moment, when Georgy reads two lovely messages from our listeners: - Samolly, who had the great idea to have a "listener suggestions" episode (Thank you for giving us the idea to create an email for this!) - Beam, our lovely, wonderful and devoted follower, whose message made us extremely happy (You made our hearts melt, Beam

Diana and Georgy are so excited to record this week, not just because this is the last episode in the Dramione Tropes series, but also because they get to do it while looking into each other's eyes in person, laughing and sharing all the feels, since they are recording in premiere from Bucharest, Romania. So many tropes, and all are favorites! This is episode #3 where we discuss the most beloved tropes of the Dramione fandom. You're in for really good stuff, because Georgy and Diana share their favorite Dramione fanfics for each of the following: Forced Proximity/ Mutual Pining/ Fake Dating/ Time Travel/ Omegaverse & Veela/ Mystery & Adventure. Listen to this episode for wonderful recommendations of beautiful fanfics, some of which we've never talked about before, some classics and, as always, some surprising choices. And... have a drink every time Georgy coughs, if you want to be hammered by the end of the episode, hehe. You're in for a funny, uplifting and positive episode, the last of 2021, a prolific year of Dramione. We love you and thank you for being you! We can't wait to come back to you in 2022 with our (we think) hardest episode to do: Favorite Dracos!!! How will we be able to choose from so many amazing, irresistible Dracos?!? Reach out to us at thedramionepodcast@gmail.com for any ideas, suggestions or if you just want to tell us we are wonderful:)!

1-year already? Listen to this short and heart-warming episode to find out the twisted way in which the Dramione journey started for your hosts, Georgy & Diana, how they ended up doing the podcast, what Draco & Hermione can teach you for your life and relationship with your significant other, and, most importantly... which Draco Georgy would marry. We wanted to do something special to celebrate their 1 year anniversary of reading Dramione, fanfiction that changed our lives. This is what came out ;). We recorded a funny, witty and insightful special 1 year anniversary episode about this wonderful journey: discovering and reading Dramione, doing the podcast, what we realized about ourselves and our wonderful friendship and some stats along the way to pay homage to our economics roots

Aaand we're back (kind of from outer space) after a 1-month break, caused by Georgy being a little sick, Diana being a little busy and life happening. But, no reason to despair, because this episode is a TREAT! Topic for today, thoroughly and "in-depthly" analyzed is one of the favorite tropes of the Dramione pairing: Memory Loooss/ Obliviatiooon! Why is this trope so popular? Because Draco and Hermione have a horrible past together and forgetting what happened allows them to see each other with new eyes, for who they truly are, or who they could have been without a certain pureblood upbringing. So much potential here, works on me Every. Single. Time! In this (wonderful, might we dare say) episode, we recommend more than 10 to-die-for Dramione FanFics with the Memory Loss/ Obliviation tag. We avoid spoilers, but aim to give you enough information for you to make an informed decision which ones are for your beautiful Dramione-loving soul. So, always, sit back, relax and enjoy an episode full of great recommendations, humor, personal impressions and deep philosophy-ing on our favorite topic in the world: Dramione! Much love from Georgy & Diana! Reach out to us at thedramionepodcast@gmail.com for any ideas, suggestions or if you just want to tell us we are wonderful:)!

Holaaa! Favorite Tropes, here we go! Georgy and Diana choose 5 of the most common tropes and they share their favorite one(s) from each. THIS IS OUR FIRST IN PERSON EPISODE. We met in New York and recorded the episode while looking into each other's eyes. Sooo romantic, hahaaa! So, what come out of it? We talk about some reaaally awesome fanfics we haven't mentioned before, so you're in for some goodies. If you have a favorite trope, if you want something new or different, if you want some trustworthy recommendations or if you simply love Dramione (don't we all...), then this is for you! This episode's tropes are: 1. Marriage Law (oh, many to recommend here) 2. Soulmates (oh, so beautiful) 3. Co-workers (so much potential) 4. Baby Fics (you know, with Scorpius or Rose or... etc.) 5. Animagus (one of them is one) Enjoy the episode and, after that, enjoy the recommendations. We are so excited for you. Important notice :P. This is only the beginning of our tropes episodes. The next one will be on "Memory Loss/ Obliviation" - SO so many good fanfics in this one. The episode after the next will include: forced proximity, mutual pining, fake dating, time travel, omegaverse (ABO), mystery/ adventure. Stay tuned for those ones, as well. Much love to you from G & D

Dramione tiiime, everyone - today more than ever, because it's Sept 19th, i.e. Hermione's bday. Don't miss this episode, because we have a new collection of some of the best Dramione fanfics! In the last 3 months we've read SO many amazing stories and we gathered them all in this episode full of gems. 80% of the ones we mention is this episode we haven't mentioned ever before. We each have a breath-taking Top 5 (of sorts, because when can either of us keep it to only 5?) of very diverse, beautiful and intriguing stories on time travel, forced proximity, Animagus Draco, secret orders, soul bindings from infancy, mystery and adventure and lots and lots of love (and sex, of course). Ahhh, we get the feels just by thinking about the fanfics we included in this episode. Can't wait for you to enjoy! Yours, Georgy & Diana Reach out to us at thedramionepodcast@gmail.com for any ideas, suggestions or if you just want to tell us we are wonderful:)!

There are no words to describe how Georgy & Diana feel about the Dramione FanFic "Remain Nameless" by wonderful and extremely talented HeyJude19 10 times (she knows this means obsession, no need to point it out, thank you very much). Although we knew Remain Nameless is our all time favorite, we wanted to get better at hosting the podcast before we dedicated an episode to this masterpiece. So, given we've done 10 episodes, we wanted to do something special to celebrate this milestone and what better way to do it??? We spent 2h talking about our favorite moments, favorite sex scenes, funny moments, someone cried (Georgy), someone will have a second Remain Nameless episode just to read her favorite quotes (Diana - no, just kidding, but I did have 28 pages of my favorite quotes ready, but Georgy said it's too much) and somewhere bottom line we only covered about 25% of what we wanted to discuss. We are SO excited for you to listen to this episode and be warned, your emotions will get the best of you. Hope you love it as much as we did and if you haven't read it, go read it, so we can freak out together about the genius of HeyJude19. WARNING: We do include spoilers, BUT only after the first 30min and we do announce it, so if you haven't read it, you can still listen to the beginning. MUCH much love to you!

This episode has been on Georgy's & Diana's minds for a very long time, now! Today, they discuss HIDDEN GEMS in the world of Dramione (of course, what else you guys, it's in the name of the podcast, lol)!!! While there are many, maaany popular fanfics out there that most of us have read and loved, the girls felt there are some that haven't gotten as much attention as they truly deserve. These fics have it all: deep feels, good writing, original ideas, beautiful plots, amazing sex, wonderfully developed relationships and characters... and are, ohhh so totally worth reading. Don't miss out on them! We truly cannot understand why these irresistible fanfic do not have more hits and more kudos, so we decided to dedicate an episode to them entirely to share them with you. (Diana's Note: Georgy had such good suggestions, which Diana immediately added to her must-reads). We can't wait for you to find out about these lovely fics and hope you'll love them as much as we do. Much love from us to you

A welcome back episode from Diana Banana and Georgy Good Girl! The girls took a summer holiday to visit family (for Diana) and to sit inside and avoid the sun (for Georgy), but are now back talking about their favorite subject everrr! They discuss the fanfics they discovered and read over the break, new pairings that they have fallen for (Panville, i.e. Pansy + Neville, for life) and what they are currently reading (which is Dramione in case anyone was wondering). They touch on over 10 fanfics from fluffy and heartwarming ones,, to time turner fanfics spanning years to Animagus Azkaban fanfics to even an unlikely story about a man and a mouse, that is so lovely you wont stop thinking about it once you read it.

This Dramione fanfic is a MASTERPIECE! It's top 3 favorites of all time for both Georgy & Diana, which says A LOT. A must-read for any Dramione fan, big or small. It has 2 stories interwoven, one from the Marauder's era and the other from the 8th year. Sirius, Lupin and Snape LIVE and are crucial to both the past and the present timelines. This story is so much about love (romantic love, friendship, newly discovered family, godparent love, brotherhood, ohhhh...), that Georgy cried over and over and Diana felt lost and in her feels for a week after reading it. This a story of a pureblood Hermione, her father Regulus Black, full of adventure and wonderful surprises at every corner, that it will give you the feels over and over again.

Did you hear that Bring Him to His Knees by Musyc was completed June 5th, 2021 (Draco's bday) and already had no less than 10K kudos? And for good reason! Original, thrilling, kinky, overwhelmingly sexy murder-mystery Dramione fanfic, with one of the BEST Dracos ever created. We couldn't help it, we ditched the usual tops and decided to focus a full episode exclusively on BHTHK, which has made our Top 3 (and we've read over 150 between the 2 of us). You could say it's because this one takes place at a kink club and the smut is exquisite (an understatement!), but really it's an amazing story all around about redemption, forgiving yourself and believing that you are also worthy of love. It also has one of our favorite Pansy pairings of all time! We avoid spoilers, so, whether you read this Top Tier fanfic of not, you're going to enjoy Episode #6. PS: You'll never be the same after reading BHTHK ;) and it will give you all the feels. So worth it! Reach out to us at thedramionepodcast@gmail.com for any ideas, suggestions or if you just want to tell us we are wonderful:)!

We came for the enemies to lovers dynamic but well lets face it: we stayed for the sex! As always Diana and Georgy discuss their top fave sex scenes but because there were so many and they couldn't choose they go over about 20 fanfics worth reading. This list has everything: from hot sex to sex with feelings to types of sex they never even knew existed until when they read it. This is the type of guidance that would have been needed when they started reading Dramione but they have taken it upon themselves to do all this hard work for you:). Wishing everyone much love and also much sex ( reading and/or real). Reach out to us at thedramionepodcast@gmail.com for any ideas, suggestions or if you just want to tell us we are wonderful:)!

This week the girls discuss their best/favorite fanfics that are between 2-5 chapters. The best thing about this length is that they and can be read on the go, on your lunch break, while you are waiting for your doordash or in the waiting room of you dentist

Probably the best episode so far, hehe. Georgy & Diana analyze (expertly, of course) the BEST Dramione fanfics that have between 50K and 100K words. Georgy has her top, Diana has hers, they surprise each other (especially Georgy with her #1). And they strongly disagree on 2 of their fanfics included in the other one's tops. You'll learn about around 15 fanfics overall, because we can't help ourselves and have to include honorable mentions, which are too honorable not to be mentioned! Some of the fanfics we introduce (and we make a point to avoid spoilers) are: Static (galfoy), Apple Pies and Other Amends (ToEatAPeach), A Second Look (RiverWriter), 13th Night (Nelpher), Look Glass (Kyonomik) and maaany more that are truly (madly, deeply) reads for your soul.
