Addictions

I started and finished reading Addictions by Cliodna yesterday, and I was not disappointed! It was just the thing to keep me entertained :). 

Location: -Personal Website-"Cliodna Writes"

The summary for this story is: "Hermione can't seem to figure out why Draco Malfoy wont stay away from her-and even more disturbing, neither can he.

Warnings: None Listed, but contains the usual. M/F sex...

Rating: NC-17 (not really)

Length: 15 Chapters, Mid-Length

Time Period: Post Hogwarts

How Good?: 9/10, perfect length, a great amount of everything, but falls a teeny bit short in the smut...

And the Smut?:  Where that point is lost. Though sexy, descriptive, and nicely timed, but a little more angst/experimentation could be given. Explanation below.

Status: Complete (2005)

Pairing: Draco/Hermione, Harry/Hermione

This Round 4 Dramione Award winner was a definite treat, and a great day read. It was rather predictable, but not disappointing in the least. Sometimes a story that has a major twist is ruined because of it! 

SPOILER!

And about the smut... The only problem I had was that if Hermione was experienced sexually, why on earth would the wildest thing she tries (illustrated in one of the sex books) be oral sex. If she is having sex with Draco Malfoy, there is definitely going to be some spanking, anal, the works. Not necessarily, but he is painted to be a bad boy in this story. Although the little bit of DubCon is very sensible, and used quite well, the idea that Draco needs/wants more than the usual that he's getting with Natalia should be played upon. He's sex starved, and should want as much and as many different versions as he can get, and should have no problem using it to mess with Hermione. 

Anywhoo! It still got a great rating, and with good reason. Harry is perfect for Hermione, in the literal sense... but logically, she belongs with Draco. It's clear with this story.
