Summary
“I remember the taste of your skin,” he says hoarsely, “and the curve of your lips. I remember the way I looked at you in the dying light of the sun. I wanted to tear the galaxy apart with my bare hands and give it to you, if you would only let me keep you. I wanted to live in your heartbeat. In your blood.”
When Hiraeth Terai is sent to kill a whore, he assumes the job will be simple. But Damas Kyrion is not at all the usual type of hetairos, and the secrets he holds could burn planets.
As if that wasn't enough of a problem, there's also the way he seems familiar.
So familiar, in fact, that all Hiraeth wants to do is keep him.
Whether Damas agrees to it, or not.

Set in the same universe as Icarus, Burning and equally as engrossing. It’s layered and twisty and a beautiful read.

Summary
“I could devour you,” Samiel says gently, and Jay can feel the heat of his words sinking into his translator. “Won't you let me, pretty human? I'd make it ever so good for you.” His voice is intimate, filthy; that of a lover. Of a predator that has caught its prey.
Or:
Wing Commander Jason Lane is doing his best. He's got a political coup to stop; a peace treaty to negotiate; half a planet out to kill him and - oh yes, Samiel.
Always, Samiel.

Summary
The most amazing thing about Malfoy is not that he managed to build a successful Ministry career out of the total disgrace of his family, but that somehow Hermione only despises him half of the time that they work together.

The story reveals itself in crumbs and atmosphere and is utterly entrancing.

Summary
“In my humble opinion there’s only three things that men should be and that is bloody, slutty, and pathetic.” And, on a good day, Draco Malfoy can be all three.
When war heroine Hermione Granger and Azkaban-tattooed war criminal Draco Malfoy are forced to wed as part of Shacklebolt’s controversial Reconciliation Act, they openly fight the match and each other—their public brawls breathlessly reported by the press.
Secretly, a deeply traumatized Draco delights in Hermione’s attention and pines for a real marriage with her—even as her forced proximity to the Black family magic irritates the cursed scar Bellatrix left on her arm, reminding her why she can never truly trust or forgive him. Then Hermione discovers that Draco’s blood will soothe the scar . . . and Draco is willing to trade his blood for her body.
(With post-war blood purity politics, black market potioneers, Pansy Parkinson’s career advice, the Malfoys blackmailing Hermione’s Wizengamot opposition, BDE Neville Longbottom hunting Death Eaters, a slutty Theo Nott serving as Draco’s right-hand man, and Crookshanks loose in Malfoy Manor.)

Bookmarker's Notes
Highly engrossing Marriage Law fic with tons of emotional depth and character complexity. Also, Draco is a total simp for Hermione, so 10/10.
