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
“I see you in my dreams,” she said the words like they were a song. “In the moments before I wake. I see castles and spaceships and pastures. And every time, I see you. I wondered how long it would be until we met this time.”
In the year 3486, Draco Malfoy is a loyal, tired Captain of the Intergalactic Sovereignty. But when he’s tasked with interrogating the illustrious rebel Hermione Granger, he’ll slowly find his world upended as she weaves a love story that spans a thousand years and countless solar systems.

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!

Summary
Draco found himself waiting for Hermione to pull away.
Any second now she’d do it. She’d go still in his arms, then tug back from him, looking shaken or even alarmed, and she’d say, what are we doing, or maybe what am I doing, and he’d be forced to consider the questions himself. And then she’d spiral into descriptions of the short-term and long-term consequences, probably structured like an argumentative essay which, written down, would have filled three feet of parchment.
Minutes passed, though, and she didn’t go still.

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.)

Summary
Being called upon by UNIT to clear up some extra-temporal alien mess or another wasn’t completely out of the ordinary for River. ... When the odd request from Kate arrived, if it really sounded like something they couldn’t handle on their own, she usually popped by to lend a helping hand (or staser, or what-have-you.)
This time, the message simply read:
Come and fetch your husband.

Summary
Post-“Husbands of River Song” fic. Because so many ideas….
This is an epic-long fic and deals with a lot of the Doctor's issues that are presented in canon (IE: he doesn't like touch this go, what 4.5 billion years of torture did to his mind, River not being human nor Time Lord, etc.) Updates are not regular due to my work schedule, but it will be finished eventually.

Summary
They wouldn’t tell him anything over the phone, only that his wife had been found wandering a desert planet, barefoot and confused. They’d brought her to the hospital to treat her for dehydration and as her husband and emergency contact, he needed to come fetch her. That’s it. A thousand years since he saw her last and all he knows is that she’s a bit parched.

Summary
Looking back, it was hard for the Doctor to say exactly when he’d stopped running. The grief and resentment he’d been nursing since their first meeting had given way, little by little, to a terrifying thrill in the pit of his stomach. It was that magnetic pull; the undeniable certainty that he was colliding with his future each time he crossed paths with River Song.

Summary
A soft smile spreads across her face and she sits up further in the bed, tucking pillows behind her back and settling in against them, still watching him. She reaches out and touches his face, her palm soft and warm on his forehead.
“Heal thyself.” She whispers quietly, her voice breathy and sweet as her fingers tickle his skin.
He snorts, “I’m not that kind of Doctor.”
“I know,” She cocks her head to the side, “And even if you were, the last person you’d ever heal is yourself.”
He makes a non-committal sound in his throat because he knows that she is right, but even now, even after everything, penitent as he is, he still has trouble admitting that to River. That she’s right.

Summary
He never acknowledged her, too afraid of pouring salt into a wound that never healed. Having her near had ached, deep in his chest, but the abrupt absence of her is worse. The Doctor spends his days with his eyes wide open and his ears always pricked for the sound of her light footsteps behind him. Post-TNOTD.

Summary
She studied him intensely. He didn’t look older— well, not physically. But then, she’d only ever seen him the once. It was ridiculous, when she thought about it: how she turned her whole world upside down because of a man she’d barely met.
But then he looked at her the way he was looking at her now, and it made an awful lot of sense.

“You’re not possible.” He whispered, watching the energy radiate off her skin. “You shouldn’t even exist.”
“Yet,” she smiled, “here I am.”
He kissed her again and she could feel it now, full and unadulterated. His timeline pulsed, swelling outside its normal size sending calls to her. It wrapped and twisted around them as he lowered her back onto the bed, covering her body with his own.Bookmarked by shadowboxerbaby
