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.
In such a fanfiction, their relationship might face many challenges. For instance, the wizarding society's views on same - sex relationships could be a major obstacle. Hermione, being a strong - willed character, might struggle to come to terms with her feelings at first due to the social norms. Fleur, on the other hand, might be more open to it. Their different cultural backgrounds (Hermione being a Muggle - born witch and Fleur being from Beauxbatons) could also add depth to their relationship, as they learn from each other's cultures and values while dealing with their love.
The appeal lies in the contrast between the two characters. Hermione is known for her intelligence and studiousness, while Fleur is seen as elegant and charming. Their relationship in fanfiction can explore how different yet complementary they are.
Perhaps the plot could involve a love triangle. There could be another character, like Viktor Krum, who still has feelings for Hermione and is jealous of her relationship with Fleur. This would add drama and tension to the story. Also, Fleur's family might not approve of Hermione, leading to more conflict.
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.
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.
They might have a very competitive relationship. Since both are strong - willed and talented. They could compete in things like magical duels or academic achievements. However, this competition could also strengthen their bond as they push each other to be better. And in times of danger, they would put aside their differences and protect each other like true sisters.
I'm not sure specifically if there's one with that exact title, but it's very likely. Fanfiction writers often come up with various scenarios where characters from the Harry Potter universe interact in unique ways. Maybe in this fanfic, Fleur could be initially envious of Hermione's body language that shows her intelligence and determination, and over time, she comes to admire it as a symbol of Hermione's strength.
One possible plot could be that Hermione, as a Lycan, struggles to hide her identity within the Hogwarts community. Fleur, being perceptive, might notice something off about Hermione. Maybe Hermione is afraid of being discovered and ostracized, while Fleur, having her own experiences with being different (as a Veela), tries to help Hermione come to terms with her new lycanthropy. They could form a strong bond as they both deal with the challenges of being 'other' in the wizarding world.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, Hermione has a set of tattoos that are in a magical language. Fleur, being from a different magical culture, tries to decipher them. As she does, she and Hermione grow closer, sharing their different perspectives on magic. The tattoos could be a mystery that brings them together, and as they solve it, they form a strong bond.
