It is his Duty by KirstyMuir (KMuir90)
Fandoms: Outlander (TV), Outlander Series - Diana Gabaldon
09 Apr 2024

Summary
Claire: Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would be getting married for a second time. To man I know nothing about, except what his uncle has told mine, or what I've managed to read online. None of this would have had to happen if my cousin Elliot was still around, but after he was killed during a war with Ireland, it was my duty to step forward and become my uncles right hand man, or woman, I suppose.
No. A marriage of convenience is definitely not something I ever wanted.
Jamie: When Dougal suggested the only way for us to win a fair fight against the Irish was for us to pull forces wi' Lambert Beauchamp and his men down in England, I almost laughed in his face. There was no way I saw Lambert ever putting his grievances wi' Dougal aside to join forces. Even if it was to fight a common enemy.
I was wrong, though. But, the only way to make sure our new partnership worked, was for me to marry someone from Lambert's outfit.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think that would be his very own niece. Claire Elizabeth Beauchamp.
The "Ice Princess".

Draco Malfoy and the perplexing predicaments of parenting by topazZz1105

Summary
Locating the best witch in the world? Check.
Convincing said witch that he was also her best option? Check.
Getting married and making a baby under a totally reasonable and not-at-all morally questionable Ministry law that definitely didn’t violate any human rights? Big check.
Raising said child (children?) with his brilliant wife in a household where sarcasm is the dominant love language and where the days are filled with nappies, toys scattered around, endless school-related quarrels, teenage mood swings, and Merlin knows what else? Ch... check…?
Draco is learning, daily and painfully, that no amount of Slytherin cunning prepares you for parenthood.
***
A fast-paced kid fic that follows Draco and Hermione’s journey from “Barely sixty percent match” to full-blown parenthood, this time from his perspective, following their children’s lives from birth to… much later.
***
This is Part 2 of their story and it's from Draco's POV. There are a lot of spoilers for BSPM right from the first chapter, so if you've stumbled upon here by accident, and not after Part 1, this is your chance to jump over there and see if you’d even enjoy this marriage law and pregnancy-heavy story! 😊

Marriage, Murder, and Other Misfortunes by Spookyandcooky
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
21 Sep 2025

Summary
Five years after the Battle of Hogwarts, the wizarding world is what you might call “a godsdamned mess.” The population is dwindling, the economy is suffering, and Hermione Granger has decided to pursue an arranged marriage—but only so she can be nominated to the antiquated Wizengamot, of course. After all, the Wizengamot is ignoring the world’s problems, and Hermione is determined to fix them. Granted, she never expected to be matched with Draco sodding Malfoy—the newest DMLE consultant who wears his Azkaban tattoos as proudly as his childhood sneer. But admittedly, between the turbulence of her farcical relationship, corrupt politicians, and a serial killer on the loose, nothing in Hermione’s life is going according to plan. Maybe hate sex with her husband will help?

Summary
When the Ministry passes the Marriage Law, Hermione doesn't leave her fate to chance. It's supposed to be a mutually beneficial arrangement with the last surviving male Black heir. She's got everything perfectly under control.
***
Sirius raised the cigar back to his mouth and clamped it between two rows of white teeth, now bared at her in a wide grin. “You’re fucking with me, aren’t you, poppet?”
“No, I’m not.” The seriousness in her tone sounded almost hard, even to her own ears. He was behaving as though this was all just a joke, and she sat up straighter in response, shaking her hair back. “Look, it’s really very simple. The law says that for the purposes of integration, all Muggleborns need to be married to a Pureblood. I’m a Muggleborn, and you’re a Pureblood.” She shrugged with nonchalance, but her hands twisted in her lap. “And—” she added with emphasis “—you owe Harry.”
He raised an eyebrow and gestured at her with the tip of his cigar. His signet ring glinted with orange light from the dancing flames, and she could see the faded black and green ink of his tattoos rippling over his knuckles. “You’re not Harry.”
She shrugged again and gazed at him pointedly. “You owe me too, Sirius.”

Summary
“To be shinobi is to endure.”
The only reason Ono Toshiko thought she survived her consciousness waking in her third life was because she had those words ringing in her head.
The thought of having to start all over again every time she died, of being denied the peace of an afterlife, was a horrific one. Forging new bonds and finding new loves in each life only to lose them one after another. Being eternally ground down by life and loss. Forever denied her rest.
Still, she’d been raised a shinobi in her second life - and no one could say she hadn’t been an excellent one.
She would endure.
And perhaps, in this third go-around, maybe hang on until she died of old age.
You know.
For once.
The irony, when she realized where and when she’d been reborn, and as who, did not escape her.

Summary
Delphini hates her mum, but that’s okay because her dad hates her too. She doesn’t think Tom hates Bellatrix enough to kill her though… but that’s also okay. Delphini is more than willing to do it for him!
After Delphini poisons her mum, Bellatrix dies. Harry, who also got poisoned in his original timeline by having too much alcohol, wakes up in her body in a different universe as the mother of Delphini and Tom Riddle’s wife.
Now, Harry can handle an adorable yet psycho ten year old who hates his guts and wants him dead (he'll win her over eventually). He can handle being in the body of a woman he despises a whole lot less. But it’s manageable. Sort of. He’s working on it. Where Harry draws the line is finding out that he’s married to Tom bloody Riddle of all people. At least Tom doesn’t really seem to like his wife. That, of course, doesn’t last long as Tom realizes that 'she' is much different than before.

Summary
Five years after the war, Hermione Granger has very little time for something like a relationship. She's far too busy trying to run the Bureau for Endangered Creatures efficiently, dealing with budget cuts and ignorant ministry officials and finding a way to somehow restore her parents' memories, who are still in Australia and none the wiser about the existence of their daughter.
When she discovers that the Wizengamot plans to use Draco Malfoy as a scapegoat whilst dealing with elusive Voldemort loyalists, she offers to testify for him. She's not quite sure how it led to her trying on wedding dresses under the watchful eye of Narcissa Malfoy.
