Summary
Why does the word Leadworth beat in time with her pulse and echo in her head, making itself her singular purpose? Is it a clue left behind by the man who held her gently and then set her free? Is it a failsafe in her programming, designed by Kovarian to steer her path from a distance? Or is it just something she's made up in her own head to fill the silence?
Florida -> New York City. Manhattan fix-it of sorts.

Summary
How many syllables is it, the forbidden name of the War Doctor? How many vowels? How many consonants? Could she stumble upon it if she tried enough combinations of sounds? If she accidentally muttered it to herself, would the universe end? If she screamed it into every corner of the galaxy, would the silence break?

Summary
Her fingers thread through his hair and he takes it as a truce. Not a final resolution of the tension that erupted between them last night, but an unspoken agreement to live at least for tonight inside this moment where she admits he was right and he acknowledges he was wrong. A silent acceptance that she needs him too much right now not to trust him.

Summary
“I need you, uncle,” Rhaenyra repeats unfailingly when he asks, and often even when he doesn’t. She gives him her assurance as freely as he gives her priceless Valyrian heirlooms, flasks of Dornish perfumes, yards of Myrish lace. She understands what those words mean to him, even more now than she did when she first said them last year on Driftmark.

Summary
Every day, he receives her letters and reads them in confusion, often spending the entire day reading through the small stack that has accumulated. Every night, he falls asleep and forgets everything. Each new letter alarms him more. He can't make out why someone would tell him such intimate details of her life.
Dear Draco, Do you remember me? I once meant everything to you.

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.

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…)?
Find out all this and more in: A HARD ROW TO HOE!
