    Summary

    After the war, survival is no longer the same as absolution.

    Draco Malfoy is free, watched, and irreparably marked by the choices he made. Hermione Granger is tasked with rebuilding a world that does not want to look too closely at its own compromises.

    When circumstance forces them into proximity, what unfolds is a slow, uneasy negotiation of power, guilt, and restraint, where desire is as dangerous as denial.

    This is a story about war, cruelty, and attraction that refuses to be simple — and of what healing costs when no one is innocent anymore.
