The first Dramione I read was Manacled, which is a dark AU war fic. It sucked me in so completely and rocked my world. The way I explain it to people is that it will reach into your chest, rip your heart out, and then manually pump your heart to keep you alive. This is why I highly recommend reading Remain Nameless as the pallet cleanser to heal your soul. It's just happy, fluffy, spicy love.
If you want to start off more happy with a touch of darkness, the Rights and Wrong Series is a great way to go. You must read it in order. Trust me. The graph below has links to the first and most impactful fics that I started with. However, I have now read many more, so if you want more links, click here to see my google spreadsheet:
Please be sure to check the trigger warnings and tags on AO3.
Happy reading!
(Bold title means it's a must-read Dramione fic.)
