I would recommend every one of Sage's stories, especially The Symmetrical Transit and The Fallout.

ldymusyc wrote two of my favorite fics. South of Stockholm is a dark Voldemort wins story and Three Steps Forward, One Step Back chronicles the Dramione relationship from the beginning.

For a "newcomer", I recommend all of floorcoaster's work, really! Especially if she wants something "in-character" and not smutty. Floo's work is stuff I would consider "ship converter" or, at least, opening the idea that Draco/Hermione could work. Here are my picks though, in conjunction with yours:

We Learned The Sea
The Redemption of Draco Malfoy

Most of Floo's one-shots are long enough, too.

Here are some more... but I'm just trying to think of stuff I have read previously. Right now I am into my crack and stupid fic. x)

The Magic of Ignorance -- not exactly the in-depth novel-length, but it "cuts" into canon well enough!

Beneath Your Window -- novel-length, post-Hogwarts; not smutty or silly.

I also recommend Elysium and drcjsnider... but the latter might be a bit more comedic than angsty/dark? Maybe if your friend's girlfriend starts to enjoy more light-hearted fic. x) Also, I ♥♥♥ Terra right now; her work is definitely worth checking out.

Ack, I'm finding the non-smut request as difficult as you! Anyways, I tried to pick out some of the darker stories from my favorites. Some of these are NC-17, but I don't think the sex is really blatant in any of these stories (except for FEH, which you should make your friend's gf read anyway, because its ridiculously complex, dark and amazing.)

I concur about floorcoaster's work. Her fics are amazing and it did convince me to love Draco and Hermione.

One of my all-time faves is "The Politician's Wife" by Pir8fancier: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2618329/1/

It's post-Hogwarts, Draco and Hermione are grown-up and this has to be the most adorable Draco known to fandom. I know I love him! It's non-smutty, too. The writing is excellent.

It's not dark, though...
