Summary
The Marriage Law and Procreation Plan has just one goal: to produce magical children.
Draco is preparing to wed before he is matched, until he changes his mind at the last possible moment. Now he's bound to follow a law that would take away everything he's supposed to want and give him the one woman he could never have.
How does Draco cope with a match who is not thrilled by the prospect? How does he work his way into her heart and also her pants by the Ministry-imposed deadline? And what on earth is he supposed to do about the fact that he's never actually done anything like this before?
Join Draco on his adventure to win over Hermione Granger, despite the marriage law she hates and every other inconvenience life throws at them. Marriage is never easy, but Draco is up for the challenge.
Featuring a BAMF Hermione Granger and a Very Good Boy Draco Malfoy who is only slightly (okay very) intimidated by his wife.

Summary
Lucius Malfoy has died, and Draco has inherited the Malfoy estate. For the next six months it is under Ministry review.
Draco Malfoy's problems now include: (i) a vast network of assets he cannot name, let alone manage properly; (ii) a one-night stand who won't go away; (iii) a different one-night stand he's wanted to find for years; and (iv) his mother's insistence that he start courting, preferably before Pansy Parkinson does.
Meanwhile, Hermione heads out on a field assignment where she makes an unexpected friend. Upon her return she’s given a new assignment from the Ministry that should be a curse-breaker's dream: find Lucius Malfoy's dark objects and decommission them.
If only the Manor would be more cooperative.
Featuring a broody, pining, and possessive Draco Malfoy and a competent and empathetic Hermione Granger. There is plenty of banter and some humor, with your favorite Slytherin gang included.
Lots of Dom/Sub in later chapters, once they finally get there. Most of the fic is light-hearted, but there are some difficult themes in several chapters. Please note the tags.

Summary
At the very cusp of a much-longed-for shift in their friendship, Hermione Granger vanished. Draco Malfoy, ever-devoted and painstakingly adept at dismantling mysteries, would spend the next seven years and a day seeking for his disappeared witch.
And then Hermione—ever-contrary, hauntingly remote, aggravatingly withholding, in possession of disquieting power—ends his hellbent search by storming his study and demanding that he give her access to Malfoy family lore.
Draco untangling the mystery of Hermione’s disappearance and just-as-maddening return plunges him into a quest that breaks realms, magical jurisdictions, standing warrants, sacred bargains, ancient truces, the demands of space and time—and, rather importantly, his already tenuous grasp on his restraint regarding his long-lost, brilliant, terrifying, distressingly brown-eyed witch. But, then again, Draco prides himself on being highly adaptable.
If he could not make Hermione stay put, then he would make her keep him.

Summary
Inspired by Bridgerton but set in the modern Wizarding world: Meet Draco the rake-o. Fresh off a decade of house arrest, he’s ready to sow his seeds before he runs out of time; the Ministry of Magic, worried about stagnating Wizarding population growth, has passed a marriage law. The Ministry “marriage mart”—six formal balls over six weeks—will culminate in (mandated) holy matrimony for all magical young adults, ruining Draco’s best-laid plans of, well, getting laid. But when he keeps running into Hermione Granger at the balls, he can’t help but wonder: Why does she seem so unconcerned about her impending forced nuptials? And why can’t he stop thinking about her?

Summary
Ten years after the fall of Voldemort, Auror Draco and Detective Hermione are partnered together on the Ministry’s high profile case hinting at a Death Eater resurgence. Can they put the pieces together to stop it as the plot unfolds and secrets unravel between them?
“I know what you did, Malfoy; what you sacrificed,” Hermione said quietly. “There is good in you somewhere if you’ll let yourself see it.”
His eyes were dark, unreadable and calculating as he stared back at her, “I may be on the side of the angels, Granger, but don’t think—for one second—that I am one of them.” **
**A fic written around this particular quote from Sherlock.

Summary
Auror Draco Malfoy has three issues: (1) his colleague Hermione Granger walked in on him trying to have an office wank; (2) she stayed to watch; and (3) thanks to new Head Auror Potter, they’ve been assigned their first case together and told to play nice. Hermione has too many issues to note, however the most problematic is undoubtedly Draco Malfoy.
After years of nothing but snide interactions in passing, Draco and Hermione must work around their sexual tension as they solve a Horcrux case; and it's not just a matter of where to find the soul fragments, but when. A mid-burn romance beneath the fast sexual burn, as Hermione and Draco travel through several decades and historical events to unravel a mystery.
