Welcome back to Reading Under the Covers, a romance novel podcast where we chat, fangirl, and maybe even swoon over our latest reads. I’m Francesca from Under the Covers Book Blog, and today, we’re diving into something extra magical—Dramione fanfiction that has been reimagined into published books! ✨
If you’re a fan of Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger’s enemies-to-lovers dynamic (even though we never got it in canon—RIP to that dream), then you probably already know that the Dramione fandom has delivered some of the most incredible fanfics out there. And guess what? Some of those legendary fics are making their way to bookshelves in 2025!
In this episode, we’re breaking down three must-read books that started as Dramione fanfiction, comparing their original fic versions to the upcoming published novels, and giving you all the reasons why you should add both to your TBR.
📖 Alchemised by SenLinYu (Releasing September 30, 2025) – Inspired by Manacled, one of the most famous Dramione fanfics of all time. A dark, dystopian, gut-wrenching story filled with emotional depth and high-stakes survival.
📖 The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy by Brigitte Knightley (Releasing July 8, 2025) – Inspired by Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love. This one keeps the hilarious, emotionally repressed, slow-burn romance energy but shifts into a romantasy world with assassins and healers.
📖 Rose in Chains by Julie Soto (Releasing July 8, 2025) – Inspired by The Auction. This upcoming romantasy follows a princess stripped of her power, sold to the heir of a brutal ruling family—expect intense power dynamics and forbidden love.
