Recommendation
I looked in memories / the rec list to see if this was recommended, but I didn't see it, so sorry if it's already on here somewhere.
I just really wanted to make sure other people read this.
Title: Sweet Caroline

Warnings:
There's an instance of rape, and a couple sex scenes. Some minor violence like slapping/punching, nothing major though.
Rating:
NC-17
Status: I think it's complete, because the author said she was considering doing a sequel, but I'm not completely sure.
Reason:
Draco/Hermione fics are a guilty pleasure of mine, but I don't read them a lot because the plots are usually the same. Draco and Hermione become head boy and girl, or are forced to get married, or she has to tutor him, stuff along those lines. And they usually fall in love randomly, with no build up. But I think this fic is different. The plot is original, though I can't really summarize it without giving much away - I'll post the summary from the fic.
"He was rich, single and disgustingly handsome. Learn how a four-year-old will turn his world up-side down."
All I can say is, this is one of the best D/Hr fics I've read, my favorite being Draco Malfoy, the Amazing Bouncing Rat by Maya. The plot is original, characters are well developed, and it is very well written. There are funny moments and sad moments, as well as very sweet/romantic moments, and the sex scenes aren't too overpowering so if you aren't into that, which I'm really not, it shouldn't bother you too bad. There's only like two of them, and they aren't that graphic.
Anyway, I really recommend that any fan of D/Hr reads this fic. It's already got over 1,000 reviews so I guess a lot of people HAVE read it, but seriously. It's pretty great. If you haven't read it, go do so now. I only found it tonight and read straight through it in three hours. It's really long, but it's worth it.
And I really hope there's a sequel.
The soon to be four-year-old skipped around the corner and looked up to find a tall man looking at the vast amount of titles in the business section. He wore a gray business suit with a green striped tie. He looked very serious with his arms folded across his chest.
Caroline slowly walked up to the man and stood silently beside him folding her arms across her chest. The man then unfolded his arms and put his hands on his hips, still oblivious to the little girl beside him. She then unfolded her arms and put her hands on her hips, mimicking the man.
“Caroline!” the [woman's] voice was becoming more urgent and a little closer.
The man picked up a book on the top shelf and started leafing through it. Caroline picked up a book on one of the lower shelves and did the same. She looked up at the man, craning her neck because he was so tall.
“Here, this looks like a good one,” she said as she reached up offering the book to him.
For the first time the man glanced down at the little girl. He thought maybe she might be four or five-years-old. Or maybe younger…she did look rather small. He noticed her curly white-blond hair with a big pink bow on the side. She wore a pink and purple tee shirt and denim shorts.
“What makes you think that’s a good one?”
“Because of the cover, silly. It’s got a picture of a pretty lady with a nice smile.” Her voice was tiny but strong, and had kind of a sing-song quality to it.
“Don’t you know you can’t judge a book by its cover?” He couldn’t believe he was actually having a conversation with the little girl. He normally shied away from children, thinking they were loud, whiny and generally annoying. But there was something different about her. She seemed wise beyond her age.
“Well, I think she looks nice, and you’re nice, so I think you’d like this book.”
“How do you know I’m nice? What if I’m a mean person?”
She thought for a moment. “Because if you drink a lot of milk your hair turns white. You must drink a lot of milk like me ‘cuz I have white hair too. Since I’m a nice person, that means you’ve got to be a nice person too.”
Anyway, I hope I did this right.
