Summary
Hermione is familiar with fighting: for respect, for attention, for justice. She’s even made a career of it; working on behalf of creatures and beings. But her battle against the Ministry’s marriage law is one she loses. Badly. And now, she has to contend with not only public derision and patriarchal politics, but her growing feelings for her government-mandated spouse.

Summary
When Hermione looked up, wrist deep in the process of crumbling cold butter into her flour mixture, Draco had stopped pacing.
“You said you liked the blueberry scones. From the café. It seemed like they were a part of your strategy. I thought I’d…” she trailed off. Ridiculousness robbed her of confidence.
Draco’s silver eyes rotated between several points of interest: her face, her hands in the mixing bowl, and the parchment still crushed in his grip. “I don’t know that the scones were part of any strategy, per se. But I do—like them. That is.”
“Good. So I’ll just”—she jostled the flour and butter in her bowl in a sad pantomime of mixing—“while you read.”
[In which Draco is a rambling, nervous mess and might have accidentally fallen in love with Hermione.]

Summary
A Very Important Note!
At some point in the not too distant future, The World of Wait and Hope will be removed from Ao3. As soon as I have a specific date, I'll be sure to update! In the meantime, please feel free to download copies of the series to save for yourself if you'd like to have them! You can find me (and more information on my traditional publishing journey!) on instagram as @amandagaylewrites. I owe this story and the fandom who has loved it a tremendous amount of gratitude, and I cannot wait for y'all to see it in its next iteration.“Harry,” Hermione began, voice very controlled, but she could feel the blade of panic slicing at her vocal cords. “Why was Draco Malfoy just screaming bloody murder about his,” and the word almost strangled her as she said it, “wife?”
[In which Hermione loses the last six year's worth of her memories, including the entirety of her relationship and marriage to Draco.]

Summary
Years. Broken into months into weeks into days—into hours, minutes, seconds—into moments. Simple at one end, complex at the other. In Draco’s experience, moments, even when simple, had a habit of becoming irretrievable. Moments grew, stretched, multiplied into ages and eras that defined whole stretches of measurable time. Draco regretted several moments in his life, some within his control, some without: all of them irretrievable in nature. At a certain point, wedged between ‘what-ifs’ of his own devising, he’d stopped trying to keep track of those regrettable moments: now and then, pushing and pulling, coming and going, beginning and end. Moments were only moments for just as long. After that, he had no control.
[In which Draco is forced to work with Hermione, falls in love, makes many mistakes, and eventually becomes his own man. A Draco POV prequel to Wait and Hope.]

Summary
“Roads were made for journeys, not destinations.” ― Confucius
One moment changes the course of history. Katara and Zuko are imprisoned by the Fire Nation Army during the Day of Black Sun, and when they escape, they find themselves adrift in the Fire Nation with no one to rely on but each other. With only six weeks before Sozin’s Comet arrives and four nations to cross, the pair must track down Katara’s allies, save the world—and learn to trust each other.
Canon divergent from Part 2 of 'Day of Black Sun.'
