    Summary

    "Fuck".
    He was out of crushed silverweed.

    He'd been certain he'd ordered enough to last the month, but the open drawer held barely enough for a single batch of essence of dittany, let alone the four currently brewing. The next delivery wasn't due for another two weeks, and without it he'd risk losing all four cauldrons.

    Which meant he would have to leave the house.

    Today."

    Five years after the Wizarding War, Draco Malfoy leads a quiet life of self-imposed isolation. His days consist of little more than brewing potions, sleeping, and repeating the same comforting routine.

    Inside, he is safe. Nothing changes, and he is safe. Safe is good. Safe is enough.

    Until what was meant to be a quick trip to the local apothecary leads to an unexpected reunion with a certain curly-haired witch who, for some unfathomable reason, doesn't seem to hate him at all.

    Summary

    Hermione finally came clean with her closest friends when she went to retrieve her parents because she had to admit that it wasn't from Australia, and they'd never been Obliviated. She'd kept her muggle identity strictly secret all through school and the war... She'd lied to everyone, said her parents were boring nobodies.

    They weren't, and neither was she... but only four people know that now and she's not even back in England yet when a familiar owl, Draco Malfoy's owl to be exact, finds her to deliver a letter.

    A letter that changes her life, her heart, her view of the entire bloody universe if she's honest...
    A letter so lovely that he's the first person she wants to see the moment she's home, especially after a meeting with the Minister that dropped a bomb.

    Not her friends who she hasn't seen in nearly a year... HIM.

    Draco.

    He never expected an answer, let alone to see her... but now he'd do anything to win her. He's just made the greatest breakthrough in Magical Medicine in centuries and isn't the bully she remembers, he's a good and worthy man now ready to woo the pants off her... literally. If she'll let him.

    Summary

    When a newly resurrected Ministry marriage mandate announces that Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are a perfect magical match according to an ancient spell (dusted off by morons), Hermione does the sensible thing: she assumes the spell is wrong and prepares to tear the Ministry apart at the seams.

    Unfortunately, the spell is magically and legally binding.

    Now Hermione—cursebreaker extraordinaire, workaholic, and part-time harbinger of bureaucratic doom—is forced to cohabitate with the one wizard she absolutely refuses to find attractive while she prepares to annihilate the Ministry in court, in public opinion, and possibly in small controlled fires. All the while, Draco Malfoy goes from mildly intrigued to catastrophically besotted in record time.

    As Hermione plots the downfall of the Ministry's heinous legislation and Draco tries (and fails) not to make heart eyes at his new wife, they discover that the spell might know something they don’t.

    A comedy of errors, enemies-to-lovers chaos, magical academia shenanigans, and sexual tension so thick it could be classified as a solid.

    Summary

    Three years of hunting horcruxes led to victory, but the war has left scars. Now with the Ministry forcing all students back for an 8th year Hermione feels like a stranger among her old friends. They want the girl she used to be but the darkness in her won't be ignored.

    Housed with the Slytherins, she discovers kindred spirits that are unapologetically themselves. Among them she finds loyalty without conditions and acceptance for her true self.

    This is very much an ode to chaos, smut and found family. For all the adventures along the way, no matter how hysterical or dark they may be. For choosing to believe they could have a future filled with love and freedom. For the knowledge that they would fight for that future no matter the cost. For all the banter, and all the tears.
    This is predominantly a Dramione fic, however as time goes on we do get some other infrequent POVs.

    I'll update the tags as I go.
