Summary
Melancholy has a distinct color.
It’s blue, but not a rich blue of that of the deep sea. It’s the color of ice blowing off a glacier at dusk, pale and haunting. It morphs into deep blacks when it touches your fingertips and it swarms around a person like a thick fog, threatening to suffocate whomever its wrapped itself around.
Clarke is familiar. She’s familiar because its become a part of her morning routine: take a shower, apply light mascara, get dressed, and watch as the color of melancholy snakes around her hair, tinting the sharp blonde.
Melancholy has a distinct color, but even more so, it hugs you like a friend and betrays you like an enemy.
~~~
After tragedy alters Clarke’s outlook on life, she turns her back on everything set out before her: medical school, a life of privilege, and most importantly, family. When she rents a room in The Ark – a brewery converted into living spaces – she’s forced out of her comfort zone when surrounded by the tenants who live there.
Particularly a curly-haired brunette with a tendency to combine insults with historical references, intentionally keep her awake, and even most frustrating, make her not stop thinking about him.
What a dick.

Summary
Draco hummed, looking down at her. With the arm looped around her, he fiddled with the green scarf. “And yet she looks better in green than in red.”
Hermione did not blush—she didn’t. It was just… warm. With the scarf and all her hair and Draco’s arm. She looked up at him, and there was one second, a single split second, where it was so easy to forget that this wasn’t what she wished it was. She wasn’t his girlfriend. He wasn’t in love with her the way she was with him. They weren’t anything more than close friends.
Because if they were more, she would easily push up on her toes and kiss him to shut him up. She imagined it. How it would feel, what he might do, if he’d cup her face and pour everything into it. Gods above, she wanted to. But she couldn’t, because they weren’t and because he had a girlfriend.
So she slipped out from his grip, instantly missing the weight of his arm, and shook out her curls. “I’ll support your team during games, Malfoy, but it’s certainly a fact that I look very good in red.”

Summary
“It’ll be a phrase you’d say in bed,” Ginny supplied, grinning. “It has to be something provocative.”
Hermione clicked her tongue. “Be sensible. It will be on my body forever.”
“You can choose the phrase,” Ginny said magnanimously, then tilted her head, considering her. “And where. On your bum might be nice, for instance.”
“I’m not getting my bum tattooed,” Hermione deadpanned, then sighed. “Fine. I’ll think of something.”
“Think fast. We’ll do it first thing this weekend.” Ginny pushed to her feet, plucking up their empty glasses and walking them to the sink.

Summary
The room bursts into catcalls and whoops, but Hermione just blinks down at it. Charcoal? It doesn’t immediately compute.
“You don’t seem surprised,” Malfoy drawls. “Have you been naughty this year, Granger?”
Oh.

Summary
When he raised said hand to point at the little downward spike on the bottom graph, Granger whipped her attention to him.
“Don’t touch the screen,” she said with a sharp tsk.
He shot her an incredulous look. “I wasn’t going to–” Jesus. He pointedly hovered his finger an appropriate distance from the screen. “This is the dip you noticed?”
She turned back to the monitor, instantly diverted.

Can their growing connection survive the stalking, kidnappings, and ever-present murder? Or will it prove to be their ultimate downfall?
---------
Excerpt:"Can I have my wand ba—" His voice faltered as their eyes met, recognition dawning in his expression.
Hermione hesitated for a brief moment before reluctantly placing his wand into his outstretched hand, which had remained frozen since he’d turned around.
"Granger?" Draco’s eyes widened slightly.

Summary
In which Dr Hermione Granger and Dr Draco Malfoy pretend to date, because they'd do anything for their friends. It's not like anything will go wrong. It's only pretend, right?
***
“I am going to push aside my pride for a moment, and admit to you that I have fucked up a bit. You might want to sit down for this.” He gestured to the sofa, as if it were his own home and not hers. “So I was with Theo a few minutes ago, and he tells me that he won’t pursue Potter because he doesn’t want to force us to have to socialise outside of work.”
“Oh, Theo.” She muttered, clearly feeling guilty for holding her friend back. “I thought he seemed reserved tonight. You told him it’s fine, right?"
“Yeah, so the aforementioned fuck up. Theo asked if we were together, as in like, together together. And I sort of said we were.” He winced, and she buried her face in her hands.
“Why? Why the fuck would you do that? What have I done to deserve this?” She looked up at the ceiling.

Summary
Draco fucking hates being cold.
Unfortunately, winter at Malfoy Manor shows no mercy, and neither does Hermione when she drags him outside for a snowball fight with their children. But as the frost bites at his skin and laughter fills the air, he finds himself warming in ways he never expected. With snow-covered kisses, playful banter, and a promise of a much hotter way to thaw him out later, Draco starts to think—maybe winter isn’t so unbearable after all.

Summary
She was going to be sick. Hermione couldn’t quite comprehend the headline adorning The Daily Prophet this morning. Maybe it was her over tired brain. She did just give birth for the second time less than a week ago and she was beyond exhausted from night time feedings and having to make sure Rose wasn’t feeling less loved after the arrival of her baby brother.
Ron had been practically absent throughout not only most of her second pregnancy but had almost missed the birth of their son. Now, Hermione surmised why. She read the headline again.

Summary
Hermione Granger walked through the doors in a flurry of curls and haste. She clasped Parvati's hands and exchanged cheek kisses, as she ushered her to the small make-up chair. "I'm so sorry I'm late, we had an emergency..." He was unable to hear the rest of the conversation. He allowed his gaze to linger over her for a moment. It had been at least a year since he’d seen her more than passing in the Ministry’s Atrium. She was flushed, clearly from rushing to get to the shoot. Her hair was tamed in loose curls cascading down her back. She was wearing a petite black suit and heels. Everything fit to perfection and Draco noticed his body responding in turn. She shifted in her chair and her wool blazer opened to reveal a bodysuit, lace trailed down her body and dipped to a low plunging neckline. It wasn’t often he was rendered speechless by former enemy swots.
Merlin, fuck.
