Oh sweet summer child.

The Draco Trilogy.

The author's behavior, her plagiarism, and work post fandom notwithstanding, the Draco Trilogy was legit good for its time and had some very cool ideas (although, given the undisclosed plagiarism of some bits and the way the author cannibalized her fanfic to kick off her original fiction, who's to say what else was plagiarised).

And it had a Polyjuice brothel. If you're thinking that it was a brothel where patrons could bring in the hair of whoever they wanted to have sex with, then you're correct.

 

Is this the one from the sick and twisted fic thread a few years ago about a Draco that gets pimped out after the war?

 

"Oh, my sweet summer child, what do you know of fear? Fear is for fanfiction.net and the dwellings of utterly despicable thoughts, ideas, and stories that rest there.

You think I'm bad, Bran?" Old Nan shoved a laptop into him. "Check your mother's browser history. You won't believe what you find there."

Probably.

 

I think Hermione/Bellatrix is also oddly popular, if we're talking about f/f.

 

I can kinda see that, but not really.

 

Well, people took the torture scene in DH and went with it.

 

Hermione/Fleur, Hermione/Ginny, Hermione/Bellatrix are all decently popular on the f/f side. Three guesses as to which character the female authors insert as, and the first two don't count. Fembuck was a popular author, but most of her stuff's Black sisters smut. There's some Hermione/Pansy stuff floating around too.

As for Snape, being a fantastic and complex character doesn't stop him from being a bad person.

 

Little late to the party but you have another one.

Also, this whole thread is one wild ride from start to finish. I’m very pleased to see F/F fics that I can add to my to-read list.

Not sure about that but this is the one that put Draco/Ginny and Hermione/Harry out into the world after Harry/Draco body-swap with a dash of will-they-won’t-they. The origin of Cassandra Claire and the Draco in Leather Pants trope. I’ll just see myself out for being around shortly after that went down.
