Summary
The war was over, but Hermione Granger was still looking for the battlefield. Survival, it turned out, was much louder than anyone had warned her it would be.
For Hermione, the end of the war didn't bring relief - it brought a profound, aching loss of identity. She is no longer the girl she was before the mud and the blood, a fact that leaves her relationship with Ron fractured in the aftermath. Returning to Hogwarts for an optional eighth year was supposed to be a step toward normalcy, but she finds herself entirely adrift without a clear purpose.
Then comes Headmistress McGonagall’s new vision for the school: a dismantled house system designed to force integration, cross-house pairings, and unity.
Thrown into the orbit of the Slytherins, Hermione expects friction. Instead, she finds unexpected solidarity in Pansy, Blaise, and Theo - and a quiet, brooding, entirely altered Draco Malfoy, stripped of his malice and carrying his own heavy silences.
What starts as mandatory class pairings shifts into an unlikely camaraderie, and eventually, into a secret, breathless connection. Because sometimes, the only person who truly understands your demons is the one who lived through the same hell.

Summary
"As she entered her office, she had a sneaking suspicion that Ron was up to something when she saw several red envelopes on her desk.
It had been one day since she left him. One day, and she was already getting howlers from Ron and Molly Weasley.
Ron was incensed about her leaving because, “How dare you leave without telling me!” and “Why didn’t you ever say anything to me?” and “I thought we were so good together!” A whinging howler.
Ugh. Really, Ron? Don’t you ever listen?
Those howlers she could deal with. It was the ones from Molly that came to her office that were the worst. Oh no, Molly couldn’t have sent them to her flat. She just had to let everyone know that “Hermione Granger was a floozy and a cheater,” and “a no-good girlfriend that only thought of herself and no one else.” It wasn’t even original, to be honest.
No one else had given more of themselves to Ron in the past two and a half years. No one but Hermione."
But now Hermione has finally stopped doubting herself and stepped out on her own. Having done so has gained her a couple of "new" friends as well as brought some old ones closer. She's awakened a new self.

Summary
She had woken among ash and embers. Smoke had curled in lazy spirals above her head, blurring the jagged black shapes of fallen shelves and splintered wood. The acrid tang of scorched parchment clogged her nose, and every breath felt like pulling fire into her lungs. Pain was everywhere: sharp in her side, dull and aching in her limbs, throbbing in her skull.
Her mind was a fractured mirror. Pieces of herself slid and scraped against each other, but the reflection was incomplete. Still, some stubborn instinct had dragged her upright.
You have to move. You are needed somewhere.
Returning back to her original timeline, Mia gets ready to finally end this once and for all.

Summary
"Angel, you know you’re safe with me, don’t you? Nothing you could tell me would make me feel differently about you."
It's meant to be a casual arrangement. Just a way to get Ginny off her back and manage her sexual frustration. He's not supposed to get under her skin and make her miss him in the morning. And she's not supposed to want to let him in and tell him her secrets.
Hermione should have learned by now that things never work out the way they're meant to. Sometimes, though, that's a good thing.
[Remus/Hermione DDlg romance with a lot of angst. As of March 2022, this story has been discontinued; an outline of the final chapters can be found in chapter 29.]

Summary
“I do not know how to tell you, Colin, but I must. It is about Miss Thompson.”
“Oh, she is delightful!” Colin chimed in, a boyish smile on his face. “I think I am going to ask your father for her hand in marriage.”
All color drained from Penelope’s face. She felt so weak for a second, she feared she might swoon. The feeling passed and a sense of determination washed over her. She must tell him before it is too late, until he is trapped in a loveless marriage with a child he did not father. It would kill him; sweet, caring Colin would have no other choice than to honor his duties as a gentleman.
“Colin, she is with child.” Penelope blurted out, not able to contain herself anymore.

Summary
He really should leave her to it. He was exhausted, more than a little drunk, and Penelope was managing just fine—better than fine, really…But something kept his eyes fixed on her.
He felt… protective. Watching her mother treat her that way had stirred something in him—a sense of kinship. Easing her burden, even just for a while, felt… satisfying. Like something worth doing.Or: Season 1, if Simon had met Penelope first at Lady Danbury’s ball.

Not Exactly Part of the Plan by Sleepyblueeyes
Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn
30 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
“Anthony may be thought of as the disciplinarian of the family but Benedict was no stranger to teaching lessons. An idea was already beginning to form.”
Benedict finds Penelope hiding out during the first ball of the season and is not pleased when he learns why. So he has an idea and if that idea involves spending time with a lovely and available Penelope, well it’s all part of the plan.
Like my other work (Time For A Change) but if Anthony worked things out with Kate and Benedict found Penelope at the beginning of season 3 instead. I was just not satisfied with Polin so I wrote these. It's a mix between the book and the show. Whistledown isn't as harsh and Eloise wouldn't have been able to keep the secret so isn't angry whenever she finds out in the future. Will most likely be spicy at some point.

Summary
Before long she would understand better, know what he wanted to be called.
Son, darling, my boy, dearest.
Soon it would be second nature to her.
Soon, she would take care of him without him having to guide her, prompt her. Soon she would be even more perfect, and maybe then the empty longing in his chest would finally be filled.
-OR-
The one where Colin has maybe, just a little, teeny, tiny mommy kink. (Maybe more than just a little…)

Summary
In a moment of weakness, something unforgivable for a man with as much on his shoulders as Anthony Bridgerton, he found something unexpected: compassion, without expectation or demands of reciprocity. Stranger yet, he found it in his sister Eloise's bookish friend, Penelope Featherington. As she continues to offer exactly what he needs at the moment he needs it, without asking him for anything in return, he wonders if he hasn't been blind to the most beautiful soul in all of Mayfair.

“I can sleep out here—you should take our bed,” she offered.
“I would not dream of it,” he replied stiffly.
She shifted uneasily, fingers twisting together. “But the settee is small and you are—"

“But—"
“Truly, Penelope, I will not hear of it.”

Finding Happiness by GoodGirlWinnieFoster

Summary
Simon Basset swore to his dying father that he would never marry and never sire an heir, but when fate places Penelope Featherington in his arms, he finds that he cannot say NO. This long fic (250K draft and counting) is the story of how two people with their own hurts, ghosts, and traumas make the most of their circumstances and find happiness.
The Bridgerton family is featured heavily with lots of domestic fluff and support for the new couple. Simon and Anthony are as close as brothers and work through their father issues together, while Penelope has a sisterly relationship with all of the Bridgerton siblings. Lady Danbury and Lady Violet guide and mentor their adopted children.
This is a RARE PAIR story with FIVE characters marrying differently from their canon spouses. Canon divergent from episode one. It's a fun ride if you're down for the adventure.
