I'm not aware of its popularity. There are countless fanfictions out there, and without specific data on views, reviews, or community discussions, it's hard to say if it's popular.
Romance can also be a theme in some Hermione and Fleur fanfictions, although not all. Some writers like to explore a romantic relationship between them, showing how their relationship might develop from initial attraction to a deeper emotional connection. However, many fanfictions focus more on their platonic relationship and how they support each other in the wizarding world.
Some storylines focus on the relationship between Hermione and Fleur's partners. Maybe their partners are away on a dangerous mission, and they have to rely on each other more. Or perhaps there are some misunderstandings between the partners that the two pregnant women have to sort out. In addition, there could be a plot where they discover new magical abilities related to their pregnancies, like being able to communicate with their unborn children on a magical level.
Well, for one, it's the combination of two strong female characters. Hermione is known for her intelligence and Fleur for her beauty and magical abilities. Seeing them interact and form a connection is really interesting. Their different personalities can lead to great character dynamics in the fanfiction.
One popular Hermione and Fleur fanfiction is 'Hermione and Fleur's Unexpected Bond'. It delves into their relationship as they team up for a magical project at Hogwarts. The story shows how they overcome their initial differences and form a strong friendship. It has great character development and interesting plot twists.
There are also fics where they team up for academic purposes. 'The Magical Research Partners' shows them working together on a complex spell research project. They bring different knowledge and perspectives, and their non - romantic interaction is all about intellectual exchange and mutual respect.
A less common but still interesting trope could be the 'time - travel' trope in relation to them. For instance, if Hermione were to go back in time and meet a younger Fleur, or vice versa. This could lead to all sorts of interesting plot developments as they interact with the past or future versions of each other and the events in the wizarding world.
There could be a fanfiction where Hermione gets tattoos during her travels after Hogwarts. She meets Fleur during one of these travels. Fleur, who has always been seen as the more glamorous one, is a bit jealous of Hermione's new edgy look. However, as they get to know each other better, they realize that their differences in appearance are just surface - level, and they become good friends. Hermione's tattoos could be a story of her adventures, and she shares these stories with Fleur.
In fanfiction, the writers often like to play with characters' emotions. Hermione might be possessive of Fleur because she feels a sense of competition. Fleur is known for her beauty and charm, and Hermione, being a strong - willed character, doesn't want to be overshadowed by her. This possessiveness could be a form of self - preservation in the fictional world they exist in.
One great fanfiction with this theme could be 'Love's Unlikely Path'. It beautifully portrays Hermione's inner turmoil as she discovers her feelings for Fleur. The story is well - written, with vivid descriptions of their interactions and how their relationship develops over time.
