Summary
It’s 1999. The war is over.
The world has moved on. Hermione Granger has not.
She arrives in Brisbane a shadow of herself—adrift in a city that is not home, with parents who do not understand her, waiting for letters that never come. She has been unraveling, slowly and methodically, and not a soul has noticed.
Until she sees him.
Draco Malfoy. A war criminal. A fugitive. Working in a Muggle pub under an assumed name, carving out a quiet, anonymous life at the edge of the world.
The chances of them ever crossing paths again were infinitesimal. He should have run the moment she recognized him. But he doesn’t.
And he just keeps showing up.
It isn’t fate, but it feels like it. It isn’t easy but they can’t seem to let go of each other.
It isn’t simple. It isn’t safe. But against all logic, it becomes something that will leave traces on them both forever.
A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers story about exile, identity, reinvention, and the messy, painful, nonlinear nature of healing.

Summary
She wonders, not for the first time, what Malfoy is cursed with. Because it’s pretty clear he’s been cursed: he takes a mysterious potion every day with his lunch, stored in two opaque phials which he downs one after the other in quick succession. She’s respected his privacy, waited for him to open up about it, but despite their close proximity five days a week, he’s never so much as hinted at what he struggles with.
Whatever it is, it seems fairly benign.
