Summary
Pansy Parkinson stands quietly in the hallway of the maternity ward at St. Mungo’s, watching her dearest friend and his wife stare starry-eyed at their brand new baby girl.
To each other, they are known. Seen. Felt, in the deepest parts of their hearts. It’s disgusting, she hates it, and she wants it so bad.
OR
Pansy wants. Harry waits.

Summary
She lost her magic slowly, at first.
It started as a creeping deadness somewhere low in her abdomen.
It spread outward like necrosis into her chest and her head and her limbs. She had no recollection of when, exactly, it had begun.
~
Hermione has made a name for herself in the Order as a gifted inventor of spells. As the war careens into its seventh year, she fights to keep Harry alive by developing a potion that strengthens his magic to the detriment of his physical health. Wracked with guilt at his rapid deterioration and desperate to save his life, she risks liaising with Draco Malfoy, the head inquisitor in Voldemort’s secret police force and a talented but dangerous Legilimens. Her risk does not go to plan, and after enduring months of brutal captivity, she loses her capacity to do magic.
To her dismay, Malfoy now seems to be her only hope of regaining her former ability.
A dark, slow-burn war AU about trauma, recovery, and reclamation of feminine power

Summary
During a routine Ministry audit, Hermione Granger notices an inconsistency in one company's inventory list: a higher than normal number for the rare ingredient, fulgurite. Her investigation reconnects her with business owner Draco Malfoy, who is more interested in acquiring her skills than answering her questions. A summertime game of cat-and-mouse provides an entertaining distraction, but only the lightning clarity of truth can reveal what they both really need.

Summary
The game starts when Neville Longbottom walks into Pansy's muggle coffee shop, and to escape conversations about their shared history, she feigns ignorance.
“Have you been obliviated?”
He says it like it’s the most normal question to ask in the middle of a muggle coffee shop, like he's asking about the weather or where the loo is.
She stalls.
But it’s too late to fold now. Now it’s time to up the ante.
“Have I been what, love?”
“You really don’t know my name?” he asks.- Language:

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.
