Summary
Hermione Granger has no right to turn up on Draco Malfoy's doorstep with a cigarette between her teeth, a familiar heirloom in her pocket, and a litany of agendas hidden in her shadowy potions laboratory.
When she asks him to pull down his walls of occlusion and confront things long buried by assuming the form of his one-time best friend, Draco falters. But vengeance courses through his veins, and there's nothing he craves more than a chance to take down the enigmatic and dangerous Aleksandr Nott.
Even if it means invoking the ghosts of their twisted past. Even if it means staring into the mirror and seeing Theo's face grinning back at him…
“Right now my mercy and my potion are all that stand between Theo and death.”
“By your own description, it sounds like he’s already dead.”
She didn’t let him see any of her pain, old or new. "Oh.” She blinked. “But you never asked if I could save him."

Summary
Abraxas was seventeen when he decided he needed to become everything and nothing to the boy who needed no one and wanted the world.
The years flowed by and duty snaps at his neck. He is heir to the Malfoy name and fortune, and must marry a pedigreed French witch—a stranger—in a lavish ceremony on the night of the winter solstice.
The hour is rapidly approaching, the sun is getting lower in the sky, and a blood-eyed stranger arrives at the gates…

Summary
It's Christmas Eve.
Darkness has fallen across the land, splintered howls ribbon through the wintry air, and Hermione is being hunted.
In a quiet church she looks for sanctuary... just one small moment of peace before the end. What she finds is a dark-eyed priest, and maybe the answer to the bitter, hopeless prayers she's offered to the stars since the day that He left.

Summary
Faced with an overcrowded Azkaban, the Ministry of Magic built The Tower, an imposing structure on the edge of London, built to punish those who they could not wholly condemn.
Draco has spent five years within The Tower’s walls, withering, barely sleeping; being whittled slowly away. Most days, he accepts his punishment, and knows that it easily could have been so much worse.
Until Hermione Granger appears alongside a whisper and a shadow, that will call into question the last shreds of self Draco has left.

Summary
Astoria and Draco Malfoy enjoy a typical pureblood marriage: they argue often, rage fuck occasionally, and spend most of their time prodigiously ignoring one another.
Hermione didn’t mean to get in the middle of all that, but when Astoria asks for her help one night after she and Draco get into a spot of bother during an argument, Hermione is forced to contend with her infatuation with Draco and the full frontal effects of a very naughty hex.

Summary
It happens like this:
Hermione is hunched over her desk like some kind of Tolkien goblin, essentially deep-throating three Sambal fish tacos from Del Seoul in a desperate bid to finish a late lunch before her next appointment (she’d rather choke to death than be late) when a light knock on the open door makes her head snap up.
“Dr. Granger?”
Holy shit.
Holy shit.
Her previous nonchalance about choking to death vanishes when she sees who’s standing in her door and a piece of fish hunkers down for a long winter in her esophagus.
“Are you--shall I perform the Heimlich?” He asks, face familiar and concerned as he moves a step closer. “I don't think your face should be that shade of purp--”
She cuts him off by vomiting into the trash can.
Airway finally clear, she gulps a few greedy breaths. Her lungs expand and her face burns, and Hermione genuinely wonders if she’s hallucinating. She’s not prone to fantastical thinking even though she’s well acquainted with the fantastic, but...why else would Draco Malfoy be standing in front of her?
Malfoy, on crutches.
Malfoy, handing her a tissue?
Malfoy, but...not.
It’s complicated.

Summary
“I hate the Floo,” he says. It just comes out of him, like the time he’d jinxed himself to vomit slugs. “It gives me migraines for days afterward. S’why I asked Nott for a Portkey.”
Pansy laughs ruefully, pulling her fisherman’s beanie on a little tighter. Her feet stay planted where they are. “I have my reasons, too,” she says.
He holds out his hand in a flourish, motioning for her to list them.
“It’s none of your—” She stops. “Look,” she says, her gaze at her feet before she meets his. “I’m not just being a cunt. Traveling with me is…complicated.”

Summary
It’s 2008 and Draco Malfoy is a secret assassin. It's legitimate - he gets paid for it, and some higher ups in the Ministry (probably?) know he’s out there… killing people. He’s quite good, but that tracks with his dubious accounting of rights and wrongs and his penchant for self-preservation. During his downtime he does a great job of acting like a pureblood in penance... mostly by drinking and shagging his way into oblivion.
This double life helps to numb Draco to the constant feelings of shame and guilt from his formative years in which he was an utter cunt- but everything is upended when his team (assassins can have coworkers, alright?) dies in action and he does not. Suspended and forced to go to therapy, Draco is adrift.
When Hermione Granger re-enters the fray, their hateful relationship that was once fraught with swotty bickering (erm, and the occasional slur) is suddenly tense in a very different way.
How will these two come together? How often will Theo say something terribly charming? Do we hate Ron or is Ron just, meh? Oh, and what’s going on with that one murderous witch who’s out to kill them all (forgot to mention that part…)?
