Summary
After the fall of the Dark Lord the Purebloods who supported him were stripped of everything. Forced into a continued life of Darkness how will they react when an even darker force threatens to upend everything they've built?
Or, Draco Malfoy, an underground crime boss, will do anything to save himself, his fellow Slytherin crew, and Hermione fucking Granger.
Author's Note:
This fic was loosely based on three very specific scenes from Peaky Blinders. If you’ve seen it, you’ll know when you get to those scenes. Mix in a bit of Tony Soprano and his mob crew banter and you get The Shadow Syndicate.- Language:

Summary
It was a brilliant plan, all things considered.
On paper and in the eyes of the public, they were a charming if oddly mismatched couple who somehow found love despite their differences. A fairy tale come to life, sighed the more romantic members of Ba Sing Se society.
So it was almost a shame that Katara's courtship with Prince Zuko was ultimately nothing more than an act - otherwise, they might have been a perfect match, if not the perfect partners in crime.
~*~*~
Written for Zutara Month 2022 and shamelessly influenced by both Pride and Prejudice and Bridgerton.

Summary
It's been two decades since the Battle of Hogwarts, and the obvious happily-ever-afters lined up ahead of Hermione Granger and Harry Potter failed to pan out years ago. When a mysterious magical storm quickly grows to cover Scotland with no sign of slowing, the pair are brought together to try to stop it - despite having been increasingly distant toward each other over the last several years.
Follow them as they slog across an area warded against magical travel to face an unknown danger while they become more aware of the very proximate danger and hope they represent to each other's equilibrium. While both have led successful careers, neither has excelled at recovering in the aftermath of the war, which both pushes them apart and pulls them, inexorably, together.
The present-day action is broken up with flashbacks to some of the seminal experiences and relationships that have shaped who they are.

Summary
A broken time turner shouldn't have sent me back so far. It was unprecedented. Stepping on it--smashing it--nothing should have happened. At most, I should have lost a week. At worst, I should have disappeared altogether. I shouldn't have traveled back fifty-two years; half a bloody century.
This should not have happened.

Summary
Hermione was often the one who thought things through. Always had a strategy in mind with an end in sight, and never willingly put herself in risky situations unless otherwise necessary. But as she stood here in the boys' lavatory with Draco Malfoy's back to her, she didn't have the faintest clue on what to do.

Summary
✨NOW COMPLETE✨
When Draco Malfoy entered her life after the war he changed her.
He knows her body, has learned every way to touch her, to break her apart until he is the only one capable of putting her back together. He’s ruined her and saved her, and Hermione knows in her bones that she will never be the same.And when Hermione Granger walked away she lingered like an echo.
And now it's gone, but not entirely, and that almost makes it worse. His feelings for her are like a dying ember that refuses to smoulder; it clings to each breath of his oxygen as a last resort.
A reminder that she is still here.
She’s a char on his very soul, and Draco wants to hate her for that, but he can’t muster the energy.Five years later, Hermione works as a palliative healer for St. Mungo’s battling a new magical ailment that destroys one's magical core, while Draco Malfoy works as a researcher for the Department of Mysteries. When their paths cross once more will they be able to place their pride aside and rediscover the romance they once shared? Or will fate have other plans, and their burdens be too much to share?

Summary
“Why,” Hermione groaned, feeling her face go white-hot. Of all days?
She trudged on, giving a tight smile and praying for the earth to open up and swallow her whole. Because this was just perfect, wasn’t it? They looked objectively cool, while she (a grown twenty-seven year old) was dressed like a princess in the middle of the fucking day. She supposed it could be worse –how? She didn’t know.
AKA: the one where Hermione Granger (whilst dressed as a princess) meets biker Draco Malfoy.

Summary
No longer a whisper, the urgent voice is now quite familiar, but it isn't until a tall figure steps out of the shadows, hands raised in obvious placation, that Hermione recognizes the speaker. Her wand is out of her bag and pointed before she can draw a breath.
"Malfoy? What are you doing here?" She speaks before thinking. No wonder he didn’t give his name before.
A smirk briefly cracks his grave expression and there's a familiar caustic smugness to his drawled reply.
"Warning you. I believe I mentioned."

Summary
“You need an orgasm.”
That was absolutely the last thing she’d thought Draco Malfoy would ever say to her. Did he even consider her a sexual creature? How interesting. But regardless, his advice was useless because orgasms weren’t something she had ready access to.
“Excellent advice.” She turned a corner suddenly and quickly trotted up the steps. He barely faltered, keeping up with her seamlessly, uncowed by her unwelcoming tone.
“That sounded sarcastic.”
“Ten points to Slytherin,” she said, even more sarcastically, and then winced when she remembered that, as Head Girl, she actually had the authority to grant them and would probably see an additional ten emeralds in their vessel at dinner.
Bugger.
———
Or where Hermione has never had an orgasm and Draco cannot abide.
(This has turned into a full-on sexploration with romance as the plot, and is my ode to sex, good communication, and all my favorite tropes)

Summary
When Lavender and Parvati came back from after-lunch divination all a-whisper and agog talking about soulmates and the like, Hermione for one had not cared. Ginny, having followed them up the stairs to their dorm, had begged them to show her how they did it and when the three of them had huddled in the corner of the room, Hermione hadn’t cared in the slightest. When the girls had begun squealing in anticipation or delight, Hermione did not care.
When she was accused of compromising Draco Malfoy’s virtue by his own father, Hermione afforded the soulmate prediction a singular, desperate thought before she was embroiled in an airtight betrothal contract.
***
Betrothal contract Dramione where they all act like teenagers. They are stupid and annoying sometimes because they're teenagers.
