A Good Prisoner
If you’re looking for a psycho simp Draco that just wants to take care of everything for Hermione you have found it in A Good Prisoner by greenflowerpot! Last updated in July.
“During his brief stint as a prisoner of the Order, Draco Malfoy notices that Hermione doesn’t look to be doing too well. He had always assumed that, given her brilliant mind and gentle nature, those on her side would ensure she is taken care of. Evidently not. Must he really do everything himself?
-
OR: Dark Draco decides he’d rather like to keep the pretty Healer for himself, since it seems no one else can take proper care of her.”

As a devoted Dramione fan, I'm always on the lookout for stories that truly capture the complex dynamic between Draco and Hermione. And let me tell you, 'A Good Prisoner' is one that has stayed with me long after reading. It offers such a unique twist on their relationship, presenting a 'Death Eater Draco' not as a villain, but as a surprisingly 'Psycho Simp' figure who finds himself compelled to protect a vulnerable 'Soft Hermione.' What truly resonated with me was the premise of Draco being a prisoner himself, yet his instincts immediately kick in to provide care for Hermione when he realizes she's not being looked after. This reversal of roles, where the supposed captive becomes the protector, is just brilliant. It delves deep into his character, showing a 'Doting Draco' who, despite his dark past, possesses an intense, almost obsessive need to ensure Hermione’s well-being. This isn't just about romance; it’s about a deeply ingrained sense of responsibility and perhaps, an unexpected tenderness that manifests in the most unlikely of circumstances. I found myself tearing up at parts, feeling every emotion as their connection slowly and powerfully built. For those who, like me, appreciate the angst and intricate character development found in fanfics like 'Manacled' or 'The Auction,' 'A Good Prisoner' fits right into that beloved niche. It explores themes of healing, unexpected alliances, and the idea that even in the darkest corners, care can blossom. The imagery of a 'man tending to a woman,' or quiet moments in a 'cozy library' with an 'open book and a mug' are subtle yet powerful metaphors for the comfort and solace Draco unexpectedly provides Hermione. Finding fanfiction that truly hits those emotional notes, making you feel every pang of despair and every flicker of hope, is a treasure. If you're searching for stories that explore protective, dark, and often morally gray characters, I highly recommend diving into this one. It's not just a read; it's an experience that will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about these characters and their potential for connection. Trust me, if you're into the 'prisoner story' trope with a deeply emotional core, this fanfic is a journey you won't regret taking.
