Summary
Mel hasn’t stepped into a rink since she lost her mother—and everything that came with her.
Then Frank shows up, steady and patient, and slowly pulls her back to the one place she swore she’d never return to.
Somewhere between skating lessons, quiet nights, and everything they don’t say, Mel finds herself again.
And maybe something more. -

"I’ve been thinking about it for weeks," he says. "And the only possible explanation I’ve come up with is that it’s a Jekyll and Hyde thing, except instead of a potion it’s her fucking car keys.”

Summary
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, sure, but that doesn’t necessarily imply that the road to heaven isn’t unlocked by bad decisions.
Frank wants what he wants, and what he wants is Mel. It just takes a bit of help to get there.
There was very little going on his brain at all that wasn’t related to the way her cunt pulled him in, warm and tight and glorious, or the hitching of her breath, or the way she slumped forward, nestling her face into his neck, or the pressure of her bare ass against his thighs. Nothing wrong could possibly feel so good; ergo, this was not wrong. This was what they were made for.

Summary
“Frank,” she says, her breath catching. “You didn’t let me down.”
“I did, though,” he says, this time quieter. It’s laced with something else, too, but she can’t place what it is. “I owe you an apology, and not just one, either. I was an asshole on July fourth and on Labor Day, and you didn’t deserve any of it.”
“You already did that,” Mel says. Her voice is weak, but she can’t examine why right now. “You did say sorry—both times.”
“Not really,” Frank says, and it gets her to look at him again. He’s still facing her, his eyes trained on her face, and she feels her lips part. “Not the way I should have.”
or: five holidays mel & frank spend together + the one it takes for them to truly connect.

Summary
To truly know someone is to differentiate between who they once were, who they are now, and who they're capable of being. Hermione realises the duality of one man as she rectifies what she knows of the past and begins to understand the pieces of who Draco Malfoy is now: a father, a son, and a man.

Summary
It’s the smell of it. Chemical. Bitter and sharp as a raw edge on metal. Just a hint of it as she passes him at breakfast — but enough to stop her dead, mid-step.
There is Wolfsbane in his tea.

Summary
It’s not until she’s brought a basil and strawberry sponge cake to Neville Longbottom and his new girlfriend, Hannah Abbott, a dozen rhubarb hand-pies to Luna and Xenophilius Lovegood, and another basket of ganache-covered muffins to Dean and Seamus, that Hermione admits to herself what she’s actually doing: she’s making a thing of this. It’s a veritable PTSD tour. With pastries. And hand-skimmed clotted cream. And she has no idea why she’s doing it, but it’s becoming very apparent that she is.
Sometimes you're sad. Sometimes you need dessert. And sometimes, it's a little of both.

Summary
When the Duke of Wiltshire hires Miss Hermione Granger to be the new governess for his young sister and his ward, they both assume it will be like any other post.
The duke does not imagine a woman with an unknown past who makes the Manor's corrupted magic react the moment she steps foot on the grounds. And Hermione is not expecting one of her charges to be shrouded in mysteries that she feels compelled to solve, even though the duke continues to get in her way.
Set against a dying Malfoy Manor, the launching of a young lady in her first Season, and a deepening medical mystery, our favorite couple is drawn together and may find love.
But there is a problem, and it's even larger than their differences in station: the Manor is hungry, and it wants Hermione all for itself.

Summary
It started with a browser tab she forgot to close. And then a text that was maybe a little too personal. And then it went all downhill from there …
“Before we … back when we were just texting, I had this fantasy …”
“Don’t you dare stop talking.”

Summary
Fourteen day shifts that Mel and Frank share after he returns to work.
He instinctively looked for a braid and scrub pants, the only fit he'd ever seen her in. It took his brain a hot second to realise the woman in jeans, white sneakers, and a ponytail through her snapback was actually Mel.
At which point he walked full tilt into a wall.

“I just think it would be better if someone showed me how to do it right,” she finally says. “And I think you would know how to do that.”
“Mel…”
“I know you’re married,” she rushes. “I know. But you’re my best friend. It would be… friendly. And just the one time.”
or: the one where frank starts soft domming mel at work and she convinces him to take her virginity. platonically.

Summary
“—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”
Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.
“Frank, why would we move in together?”
“I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”
“Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”
At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”
What.
Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.
Or, Mel doesn’t realize they’ve been dating for nine months.- Language:
