Plot |
Viktor actively joins Hermione in a ruthless, strategic Horcrux hunt, reshaping the outcome of the war. |
Viktor directly joins the Horcrux hunt and significantly alters the war outcome. |
Deep moral complexity and war strategy. |
Complexity can be overwhelming |
Canon-div |
The author explicitly says canon is followed through year 5 and that the AU depends on Hermione and Viktor becoming/staying serious from that earlier canon connection; it is still fundamentally a “what changes if Vikmione continues?” fic. |

Hidden Gem; Author explicitely stated that many people repell on the divorcee-part of krummione, holding back hits while the work is extremely well-done. The divorcee-part was taken out eventually when switching from postwar to canon-div, but still impacted hits jheavily. |

Romance |
Starts with Hermione and Viktor dating in GoF. Focus on a Viktor growing up in communistic Bulgaria. Both him and Hermione feel like outsiders and they develop a deep emotional connection. |
The story is primarily GoF focussed. The war solution is unknown as the story has not reached a point beyond GoF yet. |
Stellar Characterizations. |
Slower pacing and less immediate plot tension. |
Canon-div |
The story starts in GoF with Viktor and Hermione meeting around the first task. |

Explores the consequences of Hermione’s post-war decisions, with political and personal ramifications. |

Length and complexity may dilute focus. |
Postwar |
It starts after the war, and both the letters and the story frame are built around injury, aftermath, rebuilding, and healing. |

Romance |
Relationship develops from the Triwizard Tournament onward, expanding canon interactions. |
Viktor remains external to core war effort, as the story is WIP and stops after Ootp. |
Strong emotional progression across canon timeline. |
Less focus on the wider plot consequences. |
Canon-div |
It is explicitly “Triwizard Tournament, and beyond,” so it reads as a GoF-based continuation rather than a disconnected AU premise. |

Plot |
AU where Hermione leaves Hogwarts for Viktor in Bulgaria and Dumbledore has to find an alternative for letting the trio search for horcruxes. |
Viktor takes Hermione with him to Bulgaria, preventing her from ever having to fight the war. |
Deep ethical dilemmas and character study. |
Extremely large scope. |
Canon-div |
It is a branch from Alignment and explicitly defined by Hermione and Viktor staying together after the Triwizard connection; the story’s whole question is what that does to canon relationships and the war. |

Hermione trains in Bulgaria and grows closer to Viktor between PoS and GoF. |

The story has a limited impact on main HP events. |
Intermezzo |
It starts just before GoF, in Bulgaria, and is explicitly tagged as pre–Quidditch World Cup / canon divergence tied to the GoF period. |

Plot |
A decade after Voldemort’s fall, Auror Viktor investigates terrorism and international magical crime in a fragile postwar world while Hermione’s research becomes entangled with the case. |
Viktor’s war role is displaced into postwar defense: instead of Horcrux-hunt participation, he fights the instability, radicalization, and violence that survived Voldemort. |
The best element is the political-thriller / detective structure with strong wizarding-world after-the-war worldbuilding. |
The weakest element is that the fic’s core energy often sits more in casework and politics than in the romance itself. |
Postwar |
This is a decade-later fic, but the summary makes clear that the instability of the postwar wizarding world is the engine of the plot. That keeps it in postwar rather than generic alternate reality. |

Romance |
Hermione is sent to Durmstrang in a student exchange and builds a relationship with Viktor in a foreign setting. The horcruxes are already destroyed before Hermione leaves to Durmstrang. |
War is background; not central to plot. |
Strong cultural/worldbuilding and relationship growth. |
War stakes feel distant and less impactful. |
Alternate Reality |
Hermione is sent to Durmstrang in a postwar educational exchange; the exchange setting is the main premise rather than a prelude into familiar GoF canon. |

Romance |
A GoF reimagining where Hermione falls for Viktor while juggling house-elf activism, friendship crises, dark magic, and mystery. |
The war itself is not yet central; this is primarily a fourth-year reworking that sets up a different emotional and plot trajectory before the Voldemort endgame. |
The balance between romance and mystery inside a recognizably GoF framework. |
Bcaused the work is still incomplete, its full larger-war payoff remains unresolved. |
Canon-div |
It is explicitly a Goblet of Fire reimagining, with Hermione/Viktor romance embedded in book 4 mystery and plot. That is almost the cleanest possible canon-div fit. |

This is the clearest new fit for the added category: a DH-era interruption/visit during the Horcrux hunt, with emotional importance but not a full-scale reengineering of the HP plot. |

Plot |
Hermione studies abroad in France in a heavy AU setting with altered canon elements. |

The Hermione/Viktor relationship is not always not always the central focus. |
Alternate Reality |
Hermione is a Beauxbatons student in a large-scale AU beginning well before GoF; even though Triwizard appears, the fic’s core setting is a fundamentally different life path. |

Romance |
Starting as early as 1992 and ranging across Hogwarts, Durmstrang, and other international settings, the story explores Hermione’s growth and Viktor’s life with an affliction through expansive worldbuilding that only loosely “plays around canon.” |
No clear canon-war solution is central yet; the story is more about formative development, relationships, learning, and Viktor’s personal challenges than the Voldemort war itself. |
The best element is the international, language-and-culture-heavy worldbuilding around Hermione and Viktor. |
The weakest element is that the story’s breadth makes it feel less anchored to a specific canon conflict. |
Alternate Reality |
It starts as early as 1992, expands into international schools and invented affliction/worldbuilding, and only “plays around canon.” That is too structurally different from your GoF-starting canon-div definition. |

Romance |
Years after Hogwarts and after the war, Hermione works as a mediwitch in Bulgaria, reconnects with Viktor through the Vratsa Vultures and Blaguna’s flower shop, and rebuilds a love that survived silence, war, and separation. |
Viktor did not join Harry’s canon war mission; instead, the war’s role is separation, unanswered letters, and the damage both must live through before finding each other again. |
The best element is the gentle postwar reconnection in Bulgaria, especially the emotional role of the flower shop as a place of healing and belonging. |
The weakest element is that the larger war consequences stay mostly personal and domestic, rather than deeply political or strategic. |
Postwar |
The romance begins years later in a life clearly shaped by the aftermath of war, Hermione’s need for purpose, and the emotional damage of separation. The war is not just background history; it explains the whole setup. |

Romance |
Hermione and Viktor's library friendship in GoF grows into romance and continues forward through later school years and into Deathly Hallows. |
Viktor’s final war role appears to be as Hermione’s continuing partner across the war years, but as this is WIP, the full wartime resolution is still unknown. |
The slow emotional accumulation from the Yule Ball era and intimacy onward. |
As the story is spanning many years, the plot can feel broad and diffuse rather than sharply concentrated. |
Canon-div |
It starts in fourth year, builds from Yule Ball / library interactions, and explicitly carries that relationship forward through later canon, which is exactly your canon-div model. |

Romance |
Set in 1994 around the Triwizard Tournament, the fic intensifies the GoF connection with magical bonds, Slavic rituals, dark magic, and a much more mythic and intimate Hermione/Viktor relationship. |
Viktor’s wartime role is not yet in the main point; at this stage he is being positioned as Hermione’s magically significant partner before the later war period. |
The ritual-heavy, culturally specific expansion of Viktor’s side of the world. |
The added dark/ritual mechanics can pull the story a bit away from the cleaner emotional line of GoF. |
Canon-div |
Despite demon deals, magical bonds, and ritual additions, the fic is still fundamentally a 1994 / Triwizard Vikmione story that reworks GoF from inside that era rather than replacing the setting wholesale. |

Romance |
After the war, Hermione returns from years of mastery study and collides with Viktor in a marriage-law plot shaped by ritual magic, old lore, and Ministry politics. |
Viktor does not fight in the canon war plot here; his main “war solution” role is surviving the aftermath, escaping one marriage law, and becoming part of Hermione’s postwar restructuring of life and magic. |
The best element is the fusion of postwar reconstruction with the rituals and runes worldbuilding. |
The weakest element is that the central conflict is driven more by marriage-law mechanics than by wider wizarding-world consequences. |
Postwar |
It explicitly starts after the war, with Hermione returning from postwar mastery study and the plot grounded in rebuilding life, magical practice, and adult political structures rather than GoF continuity. |

Plot |
Following Cursed Child, Harry confronts alternate timelines through the Veil that once killed Sirius. Harry, Ron and Hermione discover the possible impact of Viktor Krum on the war. |
Viktor has no direct active war role in the present timeline; the story is about retrospectively examining alternative timelines where Viktor prevented the Battle of Hogwarts. |
The best element is the meta-ethical treatment of alternate timelines and consequences. |
The weakest element is that Viktor/Hermione is more about tension and history than a central-lived romance. |
Alternate Reality |
This is post-canon, time-travel, alternate-timeline metafiction. It is not GoF-based canon-div, and it is not primarily a war-healing reunion either. Its core setting is structurally outside ordinary canon, so alternate reality fits best. |

AU where Snape mentors Hermione, altering her path and relationships, including Viktor. |
Viktor participates in the war contextually. |
Rich alternate character dynamics. |
Very long with inconsistent pacing. |
Canon-div |
Even though some divergences begin earlier, the summary explicitly says it follows canon mostly until the end of GoF and then detours, so under your scheme it still belongs with canon-div rather than full Alternate Reality. |

Hermione Granger and Viktor Krum maintain a relationship after the Triwizard Tournament. The story is told in the form of letters. |
No direct war involvement; mostly pre-war emotional buildup. |
Intimate epistolary format, that enhances the emotional depth. |
Limited scope and minimal broader plot impact. |
Canon-div |
It begins from the post-Triwizard correspondence and extends the idea that Hermione and Viktor continue their connection instead of fading apart after GoF. |

Explores a destiny-bound relationship between Hermione and Viktor starting from Hogwarts years. The story ends after GoF and plans on a sequal, but that sequal does not exist. |
Viktor remains mostly outside war efforts. |
Light tone and relationship focus. |
Less depth in larger narrative stakes. |
Canon-div |
Its premise is basically “what if they did not drift apart but stayed together despite what comes,” which is exactly your canon-div logic. |

Romance |
Hermione visits Viktor in Bulgaria after GoF; the story then stretches across years with letters, interruption, war, and eventually they are reunited. |
Viktor does not join the core war action; instead he waits, writes, remains emotionally tethered to Hermione, and is kept at a distance from her wartime burden. |
The intensity of the temporary connection and the sense of a love deferred rather than erased. |
The relationship has little effect on the larger HP plot. |
Intermezzo |
The defining event is a short post-GoF summer visit to Bulgaria. Even though the relationship echoes into later years, the story is not primarily “what if they stayed together and changed HP canon?” It is closer to a strong intersect that leaves the larger canon largely intact. |

Plot |
Beginning between third and fourth year, Hermione gets a “unique educational opportunity,” uncovers Dumbledore as an active threat, and becomes part of a much more strategic anti-Dumbledore / anti-manipulation fourth-year storyline around the Triwizard setup. It is part of a series, but the sequel misses. |
Viktor is already integrated into the resistance-side strategy before the war fully unfolds; he helps protect Harry and Hermione and is part of the group countering Dumbledore’s manipulation. |
The high-stakes conspiracy plot: Hermione’s altered education has immediate political and magical consequences. |
The Vikmione relationship is mostly a setup rather than a fully developed romance. |
Canon-div |
Although divergence begins after PoA, the fic is still built to run directly into a reworked fourth year / Triwizard trajectory rather than relocating Hermione into a wholly separate reality. Under your narrower scheme, this still fits canon-div better than alternate reality. |

Romance |
Soulmate AU with magical traditions, politics, and a complex Hermione/Viktor bond. Marriage law, soulmates, past lives, and a heavily reworked magical-social framework place it well outside a GoF-continuation or postwar-healing structure. |
War not central; more political/social conflicts. |
Creative AU concepts (soulmates, mythology). |
Can feel disconnected from canon stakes. |
Alternate Reality |
Marriage law, soulmates, past lives, and a heavily reworked magical-social framework place it well outside a GoF-continuation or postwar-healing structure. |

Extreme & interesting AU, Author explicietly stated that she used it to test idea's for another novel, explaining why the Harry Potter rubric axes are weak, holding back the rubric score. But not the hits. |

Plot |
Hermione transfers to Durmstrang after Hogwarts closed in CoS. Dark AU with Durmstrang elements, magic, and a more dangerous version of both characters. |
Viktor is involved in darker, war-adjacent conflicts. |
Unique dark tone and powerful characterizations. |
Heavy themes may overshadow romance. |
Alternate Reality |
Your correction is right: the divergence happens in second year, with Hogwarts closed and Hermione relocated to Durmstrang; that is too structurally different to count as GoF canon-div under your rubric. |
