Summary
"All her growth was the conveying of a corpse of hope."
(From 'The Rainbow', D.H. Lawrence)This is a story about coming into one's own, a meditation on the twilight of girlhood and the violence of crash-landing into womanhood. Follow Hermione as she navigates through the quagmire: Saving the world, getting top grades, falling in love, lust, and a whole lot of trouble, and comes out of it hopefully (at least) partially sane.

Bookmarker's Notes
Absolute MASTERPIECE of literature. A love letter to Hermione Jean Granger. A realistic, deep dive into the brilliant, crever, and blooming mind of a young adult forever marked by the cruelty of a hostile and unforgiving world.
While following the truthful journey of connections that grown, fade and strengthen.
A love song for the emotional complexity of the Before and After.
This must be one of my forever favorites -

Summary
Months after Ron has been killed in the line of duty as an Auror, a grieving Hermione takes notice of another widow in her world, one who also lost a spouse far too young: Draco Malfoy.
"Two souls in the blue of evening, missing parts of themselves now, one half drawn to the warmth of the other, wishing only to be whole again in some way."

Summary
To truly know someone is to differentiate between who they once were, who they are now, and who they're capable of being. Hermione realises the duality of one man as she rectifies what she knows of the past and begins to understand the pieces of who Draco Malfoy is now: a father, a son, and a man.

Summary
After a terrible week in which Crookshanks died and Ron left her via four words on a scrap of parchment, 30-year-old Hermione is forced to take a leave of absence from work. Unfortunately, it quickly becomes clear her job was the last thing keeping her sane.
When she finds out Harry is investigating the unexplained disappearance of Draco Malfoy—now an Unspeakable in the Department of Mysteries—she finally has a problem to solve. The case sucks her in in more ways than one, and she finds herself tangling with a powerful magical object, as well as Draco's weird and wonderful subconscious.
tl;dr Hermione gathers extensive material for an inevitable 'Am I the Asshole?' post
