    Summary

    First, he stretches. Then, he exercises. He eats breakfast, and watches the street he lives on come to life -- the old man and his corgi, the baristas at the coffee shop, the woman who jogs, the daughter and father, and the Indian grocer all making their appearance. Then, he showers, shaves, dresses, and heads to his job as an Auror, where he has been on desk duty ever since he was pulled from the field because of The Incident.

    Draco lives his life by his Ministry mandated Mind Healer routines, and he is trying to get back to being Potter's left-hand man, but the cannonball to his careful regimen comes in the form of a very cranky Hermione Granger.

    Banter, fluff, eventual smut, an ensemble cast of friends and family and weddings and babies. Told in mostly Draco's POV, but the occasional random one, because who says Draco is the most reliable of narrators?

    It’s a character-driven slow burn.

    Summary

    A white dress or a lifetime in Azkaban. Hermione Granger had no choice, marry Draco Malfoy or die imprisoned as a war criminal. But Draco was not what he once was…

    Rumors of what had befallen the Malfoy heir following the war circulated among gossips and tabloids. Many said he was cursed to live a life in exile. Those who had laid eyes on him whispered that he was covered in scales, a grotesque hybrid of human and creature. And now, Hermione was to be wed to the dragon disguised as a man.

    A story of acceptance, healing, and monster smut.

    Summary

    Ten years after the war, Hermione Granger is a celebrated hero, a tireless political reformer–but behind closed doors, she's drowning in a Ministry that praises her with one breath and silences her with the next. She's brilliant, respected... and dangerously close to being done playing by their rules.

    Cleared of his war crimes and sharper than ever, Draco Malfoy didn't just survive the fallout–he seized it. The most feared name in Wizarding Britain's criminal underworld, he controls the flow of potions, secrets, and power. And now, he's being ordered to marry the Ministry's Golden Girl.

    Thrown into a marriage neither expected and neither intends to lose, Hermione and Draco must decide whether to rule from the shadows or burn the whole damn system down... together.

    He may be the King of Wizarding Britain's criminal underworld–

    but she is the Queen.

    And may the gods help anyone who disrespects the Queen.

    Summary

    During his brief stint as a prisoner of the Order, Draco Malfoy notices that Hermione doesn't look to be doing too well. He had always assumed that, given her brilliant mind and gentle nature, those on her side would ensure she is taken care of. Evidently not. Must he really do everything himself?

    -

    OR: Dark Draco decides he'd rather like to keep the pretty Healer for himself, since it seems no one else can take proper care of her.

    A story about love, power, intrigue, black cats and cherry cakes.
