Summary
“Oh, Feyre.” His voice was a low, dangerous purr. “I’m anything but safe. For you.”
How dare he!
“You don’t know what I want.” Her chin lifted. “Or what’s good for me.”
“Don’t I?” He said quietly. “I see you. I see all the pieces you think you’re hiding.”
She stepped back, blanching. “What—what do you mean?”
“You think I haven’t noticed?” Rhys sounded pained. “How you catalog every exit? The way you hold your breath when people get too close?” Another step. “I see the weight, the secrets carving you hollow." His face darkened. "I don’t need to know what they are, but don’t stand there claiming you want complications when you’re drowning in battles you won’t let anyone help fight.”
She felt stripped bare, exposed, yet blind with defiance.“You think Tarquin would be simpler?” Bitter laughter spilled out. “You think anyone would be simple right now?” He was close now and his heat and cologne was making her dizzy. Feyre couldn't believe how deeply he’d seen her. “I don’t need saving, Rhys,” she said meeting his gaze, “and I don’t want safe.”
His eyes flared. “Then tell me, Feyre. What do you want?” He paused, looking vulnerable. “And why won’t you reach for it?” -
I Was Made for Lovin' You by PoemInTheDark for Calliope_dreaming

Summary
Draco Malfoy has survived a war, the French Ministry's singing pixies, and a concerning fixation on people's jugulars. What he cannot, apparently, survive is Hermione Granger in a pencil skirt telling him he's "over-compensating for the drift."
Hermione Granger has approximately seven contingency plans for every situation.
Except the one where Draco Malfoy has been showing up to work in Tom Ford suits for two years straight.It's Valentine's Day at the British Ministry, where HR (?) is demonstrably understaffed and the decorations are causing psychosexual visions in public spaces. (OSHA could never.)
Between the obscure vampire laws that keep accidentally triggering, Hermione's increasingly unhinged flirting strategy, and his own overfraught senses firing all over the place, Draco is starting to think two years of pining was the easy part.
Hermione, meanwhile, has just realized the man she's been obsessing over has fangs.
This is going to end in either a bloodbath or a bed.
Spoiler: It's both. -
For Every Dawn, I Choose Draco Malfoy by PoemInTheDark

Summary
The air in the kitchen was rich with the scent of baking.
He reached around her, chest warm against her back, and set the serving spoon on the counter. For a moment they lingered there—her whisking, him solid and present. The cream was smooth and pale, catching the afternoon light.
“Perfect timing on the cake,” he murmured, lips brushing the shell of her ear.
“Is it? I feel like I just… began,” she admitted with a laugh. “But it smells right.”
“When you’re busy up here”—he tapped lightly at her temple—“time doesn’t stand a chance.”
She arched an eyebrow, fighting back a smile. “If focus could bend temporal mechanics, arithmancers would be immortal.”
“Only the clever ones who survive the paradox cascade. You’d navigate it flawlessly, of course.”
The cream had formed perfect peaks, but Hermione barely noticed. Her whisk hovered mid-air, eyes wide. Something hot and electric shot through her chest as his words sank in.
“Who are you?” she whispered in awe. The timer chimed then, mellow and silver, harmonizing with the wind chimes.

Summary
TLDR: Loosely derived from White Nights by Dostoevsky-but make it modern and fanfiction. This silly little story is nearly as existential and prone to rambling, but ends on a note much more palatable to the Dramione HEA crowd. Rife with insufferable internal dialogue and eventually yearning, but ultimately positive.
Brief Summary:
Draco has lost everything that once gave him purpose. He walks aimlessly each day, leaving the estate he fled North to for hours at a time. There had been a time in his childhood where he saw things vividly, now everything was greyscale.
A chance encounter gives Draco and Hermione the opportunity to transcend the past that has been written in stone, perhaps to even rewrite their future.
