If you've exhausted the usual suspects like AO3 and FanFiction.net, maybe try a different approach. I sometimes have better luck finding quality by following authors rather than browsing tags. Find a fic you love, check the author's bookmarks. Writers often bookmark stories with the prose and depth they aspire to.
Another underrated spot is LiveJournal communities, though they're quieter now. The 'dramioneasks' community on Tumblr can be a goldmine for recs if you ask politely. Specify you want 'novel-length' and 'canon-divergent' to filter out the fluff.
I'm skeptical of Wattpad for this, personally. The algorithm there favors quicker, trope-heavy hits over nuanced development. You might find a diamond, but you'll wade through a lot of... well, you know.
Don't overlook curated rec lists. Sites like 'DramioneReviews' or the subreddit r/Dramione have dedicated threads for 'character-driven' fics. People there are ruthless about weeding out OOC portrayals. My last great find came from a Reddit thread titled 'Fics where Draco's apology isn't just one line.' It led me to 'The Disappearances of Draco Malfoy'—the growth there is meticulous, almost painful in its realism. That specific, nitpicky request cut right to the heart of what good development means.
Alright, let's be real about this. The character development you're after is tricky because it's so easy for writers to flip Hermione or Draco into caricatures. My top recommendation isn't a specific site, but a specific tagging strategy. On Archive of Our Own, pair the Hermione/Draco ship tag with tags like 'Post-War', 'Redeemed Draco Malfoy', 'Healer Hermione', or 'Slow Burn'. The 'Slow Burn' tag is usually a dead giveaway for development over porn.
I got burnt out on the Ministry-worker-trope a while back, so I started looking for fics where they're forced into mundane, non-magical scenarios. There's this one where they're stuck in a safehouse during a Wizarding flu pandemic, of all things. The magic is barely there, and it's all about them just... talking. It felt more genuine than most of the 'enemies to lovers' stuff that rushes the process.
Honestly, sometimes the best development happens in stories that aren't even strictly romance-focused. Look for 'Magical Theory' or 'Political Worldbuilding' as additional tags. When the plot forces them to solve a complex problem together, the character growth feels earned.

He doesn't bid. He doesn't ask. He simply crosses a room full of bowed heads because when the most powerful being alive enters, everyone drops their eyes, and he takes her home.

His fated mate.
Sofia wants nothing to do with him. She is an Omega the lowest rank in pack society with a dangerous secret buried in her blood, and a past that left scars no one is allowed to touch. Draco is patient, possessive, and impossible to ignore, and the mate bond humming beneath her skin is beginning to feel less like a curse and more like an answer.
But Sofia's secret is the kind that gets witches killed. And Draco's world is full of enemies including the brother who wants to destroy him, and the father who will use anyone to take back what he lost.
