Summary
Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are cursed. Probably. Maybe.
All Hermione knows for certain is that he keeps sticking his pointy nose and other body parts where they aren't welcome: like into her dating life, and under her skin, literally.
Meanwhile, all Draco knows for certain is that in all his fantasies of getting into her knickers, he never imagined it happening like that.
A twist of fate, a statistical anomaly, or a sex curse: whatever the cause, there's (probably) just one solution.

reading this is similar to what I imagine it feels like to see at Van Gogh's Starry Night.

Summary
A self-indulgent romp where Draco delivers the baby of his pregnant coworker in a cave.
– or –
In which Hermione Granger is strong enough, intelligent enough, and brave enough to birth a child on her own, but it doesn’t mean she has to.
– or –
With the help of a few…friends…our favourite grumpy Slytherin is forced to endure the rather intolerable experience of joy.
Happy ending in all iterations of all universes for these particular two, because we deserve it!

you ever read something, and go "oh this seems really fun" and it is, but you also get your heart super-saiyan'd into space? this fic does that.

Summary
Those who abolished the Statute of Secrecy in 1945 never intended the horrors that came afterwards.
By 1998, Wizarding Britain—styled after a reborn Roman Empire with Imperator Voldemort at its helm—controls most of Europe. Resistance is brutally crushed, muggles are in chains, and muggleborns are martyred by dragon fire in front of screaming crowds.
Hermione Granger is a domestic slave working in the Malfoy household, dreaming of a remade world, and hiding magic in her veins. Discovery means certain death.
Draco Malfoy, a tribune and spy for the Imperial Legion, carries the weight of painful secrets. For years, the only way to live with his dark reality has been to shut his eyes to it.
…But she has a burning star inside her—the light of an entire sun…
And now he is caught between the denial which defines his survival, and the woman he cannot deny.

Summary
“I feel like—a meteor crashed into my house and I’m the only one who can see it. I feel like a sketch on a piece of parchment instead of a real person. I feel like I will curse the next person who tells me to ‘just enjoy it’.”
Hermione never thought she would be a solo parent. No one told her that it would be boring, and devastating, and that she would be filled with so much joy that she might burst any second.
No one told Draco he'd feel the same way.

Summary
He’d wanted to stalk across the hall and slap the God forsaken bowl of cherries out of her reach. Sneer at her for trying to seduce the two idiotic Gryffindors. Punch Potter or Weasel for not taking the fucking bait so she just had to keep going.
Draco was now keeping count of how many of those plump little fruits she’d violated in the margins of the book.
Pop, suck, spit. Repeat.Or: Draco's inner monologue while watching one witch eat fruit.

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.
