Summary
In the land of Ingary, where such things as seven-league boots and cloaks of invisibility really exist, it is quite a misfortune to be born the eldest of three. Everyone knows you are the one who will fail first, and worst, if the three of you set out to seek your fortunes.
Howl, of course, had been born the younger of two. That held no real significance, other than that he always felt like he had a shadow looming over him.
Howl’s Moving Castle, from Howl’s perspective.

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
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…)?

Summary
“Divorce technically isn’t our only option,” Hermione said absentmindedly. “Malfoy could die within the next two years, for example.”
Malfoy turned to her, eyes blazing. “Either of us could die, Granger. I don’t appreciate the insinuation of it being me.”
“I didn’t say it for you to appreciate it. It’s merely a fact.”
Malfoy turned to Kinglsey. “If nothing else can nullify our impending nuptials, surely Granger exhibiting the markers for premeditated murder should?”
Granger rolled her eyes. “If I were going to murder you, I wouldn’t be stupid enough to plan it with the Minister For Magic.”
Malfoy mockingly put his hand against his heart. “Oh, that’s such a relief. I much prefer the idea of being murdered in the spur of the moment. Premeditation is very played out.”
“Quite literally,” Hermione said.
Clearing his throat, Kingsley said, “I appreciate that you both have history. Even so, the Wizenmagot has chosen the two of you to marry.”
“Granger’s intent on putting the ‘death’ in ‘til death do us part, and you want to categorise our dynamic as having ‘history,’” Malfoy scoffed, leaning his head back. “We’re fucked.”
