Summary
It's all weights and measurements, his job. A life for a life, the value of which he levies against the potential for danger. If in the end it all evens out then he walks away satisfied. A cold existence but a stable one.
And then her, and her ugly scarf, and the priceless weight of her safety in his hands. She upsets the delicate balance he's cultivated, bleeding warmth into the winter of his world, turning him into a person when all he's ever been is a weapon.

Summary
How much control does she actually have over this narrative? Ginny refuses to be the hero’s prize at the end of his trials. She wants to obliterate that old inner voice of hers, the one that had smothered her under the guise of survival:
Don't be emotional, don't nag, don't be the needy, weepy love interest who begs the boy to stay with her. You're a distraction, you're a liability, you're collateral. Know your place.
Ginny is so tired. But she’s always found her comfort in chaos.

A smile tickled the corners of Hermione’s mouth as she clicked Send. She listened to the whoosh of the message and then turned off her computer.
When the ping! had come in, she’d had one foot half-out the door of her flat. She’d dropped her coat and darted for her computer desk, a wide grin blossoming at her inbox.

Summary
Draco Malfoy is not, necessarily, a good guy. Maybe he could have been, once, but he chose differently. Some (everyone) might say he chose wrong.
After years in Azkaban and an extended house arrest sentence, he is released unto a world that somehow has only gotten worse while he was away… and rather than fix it, he falls right into step.
Or does he?

Summary
Draco more than anything after the war wanted to be left alone. Draco wanted to be a passive observer in his own life. He wanted to watch his friends experience their stupid issues.
He thought he could pull it off.
Then Granger happened to him and hadn’t she always?
or, Hermione Granger is a badass bitch and Draco Malfoy is just along for the ride. Featuring car chases, wandlore, book clubs that aren't really book clubs, a Miata, bad driving, and a hopelessly, pathetically in love boy.

Summary
Every terrible moment in his life, Draco thought about how one of the most powerful potions in existence curled up and around others like opalescent smoke, pulsing bright and thick like ichor, beckoning and enticing everyone…but.
Him.
Nothing.
Draco deserved this.
or, for some reason Amortentia has no scent for Draco. It's something he considers a terrible flaw and believes it's proof he lacks the capacity to feel romantic love.
But everything is fine. (narrator: everything was not fine.)

Summary
But Draco was still looking at the girl with the covetous gaze that all Malfoy men wore when they knew something belonged to them.
This was different, though. There was something else here that was not Malfoy. Not even Black. It was unique to him. It was the same wild-eyed and excited expression he had when he brought home his gifts and sparked with magic no one so young should have. Magic that tasted like ozone and petrichor and fate.
Narcissa knew, then.
She braced herself.
or, Draco is born cursed and stricken by a violent, magical Wind that comes bearing gifts, even when he is sentenced to Azkaban. None of that has anything to do with why Hermione Granger pays him a visit.

Summary
He took in the absolute mess she was… dirty and crying and only now did he notice the blood stains on her shirt and trousers.
“Hermione,” he tried, quieter this time. “What happened?”
She opened her mouth, but only sobbed. “I... I was bitten… by a vampire and… and then... and then I died.”
Everything went quiet.
He just heard the rain that hammered on the ground and buzzing in his ears.***
Draco and Hermione are partners at the still-corrupted Ministry, and demotivated and disappointed aurors tasked with solving both petty and serious crimes. They are also exes who have had to learn to work and coexist in the same place after their breakup, and now, with her life-altering condition that they keep a secret, they have to do it all over again.

Summary
Those who abolished the Statute of Secrecy in 1945 never intended the horrors that came afterwards.
By 1998, Wizarding Britain—styled after a reborn Roman Empire with Imperator Voldemort at its helm—controls most of Europe. Resistance is brutally crushed, muggles are in chains, and muggleborns are martyred by dragon fire in front of screaming crowds.
Hermione Granger is a domestic slave working in the Malfoy household, dreaming of a remade world, and hiding magic in her veins. Discovery means certain death.
Draco Malfoy, a tribune and spy for the Imperial Legion, carries the weight of painful secrets. For years, the only way to live with his dark reality has been to shut his eyes to it.
…But she has a burning star inside her—the light of an entire sun…
And now he is caught between the denial which defines his survival, and the woman he cannot deny.

Summary
Hermione blinked, absolutely shocked, to see the tall, lithe form of Draco Malfoy looking curiously at her as he halted in his steps, his head cocking slightly to the side.
“Granger,” he drawled, lip curving in amusement. “What the fuck are you doing in my bed?”
******
Hermione and Draco haven’t seen each other in seven years, and now they’re stuck alone together on a writer’s retreat in Theo’s countryside house. Do they even know each other at all? Surely writing each other smutty stories and pushing them under their bedroom doors would be a great place to start?

Summary
"He’d always known that hair. He’d stared at it, he’d jinxed it, one memorable day he’d gotten his wand, his hand, and a good portion of his arm, stuck in it. But for the first time he was overcome with a longing to touch it. To touch her. To reach out to her and pull her towards him.” A lovely little romance about a young Veela and the mate he never expected.

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…)?
