What are the characteristics of read dominant and submissive novels?

In these fanfics, a dominant Harry often shows leadership. He is confident and makes decisions quickly. For example, in some stories, he might lead Hermione in dangerous adventures. Hermione as submissive is more likely to follow his lead, like when they are researching dark magic. She trusts his judgment.

One could be "Fifty Shades of Grey" which involves elements of dominant and submissive relationships in a fictional context. However, this novel also contains a lot of adult content. A more appropriate one might be "Jane Eyre". In the relationship between Mr. Rochester and Jane, there are aspects of dominance in Mr. Rochester's initial brusque behavior and Jane's more submissive role in the face of his power and wealth at first, but as the story progresses, their relationship becomes more equal.

A good one would have well - developed characters. Since Bella is in the dominant role, she should show strong leadership and decision - making skills. Edward, being submissive, might display more vulnerability. The plot should also make sense within the Twilight framework. For example, their new dynamic could be a result of some event in the story.

Another novel is 'Bared to You' by Sylvia Day as well. It presents a relationship where there are elements of dominance and submission. The story focuses on the development of the relationship between the two main characters, exploring their emotional and sexual connection in a detailed and often intense way.

One common element is the idea of protection. The dominant character often has a sense of protecting the submissive character, even while being in a position of power. And there's also the aspect of growth. The submissive character may grow in confidence or self - awareness through the relationship. Take some fanfics in the 'Marvel' universe, for example. A submissive character might learn to stand up for themselves more while still maintaining their relationship with the dominant character, and the dominant character may learn to be more empathetic through the process.

In romantic dominant novels, the plot is often driven by the development of the love relationship. In 'Persuasion' by Austen, the story progresses as Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth re - encounter each other and their past feelings resurface. The characters in these novels are also often complex, with their own insecurities and desires that affect the love story. For example, in 'Rebecca' by Daphne du Maurier, the unnamed protagonist's relationship with Maxim de Winter is shaped by her own self - doubt and the shadow of his first wife, Rebecca.

One common theme is power dynamics. It explores how the dominant character exerts control and the submissive character responds. Another theme can be trust, as the submissive character has to trust the dominant one. And often there's a sense of exploration of different personalities within the context of the fictional world.

For beginners, 'Beauty's Release' by Anne Rice is also a choice. It has a story that unfolds the relationship between the characters with elements of dominance and submission. The writing is vivid and it helps the reader to understand the emotions and power plays within such a relationship. It's set in a somewhat fantastical world which adds an extra layer of intrigue.

One aspect of fanfictions with a dominant Harry and submissive Severus is the exploration of their relationship outside of the typical Hogwarts hierarchy. Harry, being the hero figure, might use his new - found dominance in a way that helps Severus heal from his past traumas. For example, he could offer Severus the acceptance and understanding that he never had before. It also allows for a different take on their magical interactions, as Harry's power could be shown in a more assertive way while Severus might be more receptive to it in a submissive state.

One great fanfiction with this dynamic is 'The Unlikely Bond'. In it, Draco's dominant nature is shown through his protectiveness over Hermione. He's constantly guiding her in the dangerous wizarding world they navigate. Another is 'A Shift in Power' where Hermione's submissive side emerges as she realizes she can trust Draco in ways she didn't expect. It's a really interesting take on their relationship.
