    Summary

    In 1935, Hermione Granger meets a boy in an orphanage who despises fairy stories, liars, and mediocrity. He offers her a deal of mutual convenience, and soon a tentative friendship forms between them—if Tom would ever lower himself to call anyone a "friend".

    But whatever they have, it's something special, and if there's anyone who can appreciate Specialness, it's Tom Riddle.

    1930's-40's Childhood Friends AU.

    Summary

    War does not determine who is right–only who is left.

     

    During the cold, hopeless nights of the war, Hermione liked to imagine what her life would be like after their side came out victorious. History is written by the victors, after all. She spun a happy tale for herself with a boy she loved.

    Though now that she’s here, her story would read more like a tragedy.

    The celebrations were grand, the parties and ceremonies dotted with tired smiles and laughter from her friends turned comrades turned acquaintances. Happiness took place all around her, all the while the spirit she once held so steadfastly melted, slowly dripping into the ground beneath her feet until she was hollow. Hermione tried to be polite in her grief, she didn’t want to ruin it for everyone.

    He sighed, stirring more sugar into his tea. “Exactly how bad is this going to be, Pansy?”

    There was a very long pause. “Look. Draco and I are engaged.”

    “Er,” Harry said, slowly. “Congratulations? Except, um, you do know -”

    Pansy glanced up, looking almost amused. “That he’s stupidly in love with Hermione?”

    “I was more going to say that she was stupidly in love with him.”

    Once they were both so strong, but Finnick and Katniss are now like marble statues that cracked into hundreds of pieces. They've been painstakingly glued together but the slightest nudge and they'll fall apart all over again.

    Summary

    "I won’t take the room." She shakes her head emphatically. "Living with you is totally out of the question."
