    Summary

    In the aftermath of Spike's sacrifice in the Hellmouth, Buffy turns to the words of Pablo Neruda for solace, but she might just be spinning out.

    Set post-Chosen, post AtS Damage, and goes AU from there.

    Content warning: A brief reference is made to Seeing Red, and there is a brief, non-graphic sexual assault that Buffy interrupts. If you still want to read the story but skip this part, skip the section that starts "Sometimes on patrol she finds real evil..." Buffy is also is dealing with mental health issues.

    Summary

    In which Draco has a rip roaring crush on Hermione for the first four years of school. Then Fifth year arrives and it seems she might return his affections.

    So what does he do? Naturally, he lures her (in a romantic way of course) into an alcove, magically glues her in place and kisses her until she's dizzy.

    This is their love story. It's full of magic, humour and growing together. Of adventures, mischief and silliness around Hogwarts, cosy and tucked away from the rest of the world. This story is all their little moments; falling in love, falling apart, broken through the war and back again for Eighth year, and everything else In Between.
    Featuring: a smart, ultra competent Hermione Granger who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it,

    Soft, cinnamon roll Draco Malfoy who's completely head over heels for Hermione and is prepared to break all sorts of rules to spend time with his witch

    Ultimate wingman Blaise Zabini. He's also a mother hen

    Theo Nott making bets and badges. He's here for the chaos

    Oblivious Potter (but he has suspicions)

    Tiny bit of Ron Weasley bashing but also Ron Weasley redemption (and I redeem him so good!)

    Summary

    She wore that Granger expression, the one that said she was going to bully someone into something. Draco had a bad feeling it was about to be him. “I’ll marry you,” Hermione said.

    “Don’t be ridiculous.”

    “I’m not doing it for free. I marry you, then after a year we divorce and you agree to fund S.P.E.A.M.B. In perpetuity.”

    “Out of the question.”

    “It’s just one year. We would both get what we want.”

    “Contracted marriages require consummation,” he said, adding a leer for good measure.

    Granger had gotten more attractive since their Hogwarts days, he would give her that much. Her jumper was atrocious, though. He had half a mind to burn it.

    To his everlasting shock, she merely shrugged. “It’s just sex. I’ve had it before and I presume you have too.”

    She was utterly serious. Draco stared at her and contemplated being married to her. She was irritating and he might make her promise to never wear that jumper again, but it was better than the alternative.

    Draco would do just about anything to avoid being poor.

    “You’re serious?”

    “Completely.”

    “Then congratulations, Granger. You've got yourself a husband.”

    Summary

    After being struck by the Killing Curse during the Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione Granger wakes somewhere impossible: a silent, endless version of the Hogwarts library, forever frozen at one minute to midnight.

    Severus Snape is waiting for her there.

    He tells her she is not quite dead, not quite alive — and that she has been offered one final chance to go back and change a single decision. One choice could alter the course of the war. One choice could save the people she loves. One choice could change everything.

    But this time, survival will require more than defiance. New bonds will be forged, old loyalties will shift, and the line between necessity and desire will blur in ways none of them can afford to ignore. The war can still be won — but only if they are willing to pay its price.

    And in the end, everyone may get their happy ending... just not in the way they expected.

    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

    Please mind the trigger warnings.

    Draco Malfoy hadn’t expected to ever see Hermione Granger again. Six months after the war, with Harry Potter dead and the Malfoy name barely spared from Azkaban, Draco returns to Hogwarts for a memorial ceremony he has no intention of attending. Instead, he finds Hermione alone, pregnant, and grieving.
    Draco is forced to confront what his family knew, what they ignored, and how deep the rot in his own house truly went.
    For Hermione Granger, the war did not end when Voldemort fell, and for Draco Malfoy, the greatest mercy he can offer may be staying far away from her.

    “So you did nothing.”

    “Yes. I did nothing,” he snapped. “I was sixteen, and I did nothing. Then I was seventeen, and I did nothing. Then I stood in a courtroom while people called what I did brave because I failed to identify you properly. I did the smallest decent thing possible after years of cowardice, and they let me live for it. So no, Granger, I don’t expect you to think me innocent. I don’t even expect you to think me human most days.”

    She blinked at him, her eyes glassy and unseeing.

    "Come have tea at the manor."

    Summary

    "I don't want your pity, Granger," he seethes. "I'm still in your debt. I haven't made amends yet."

    "Oh, so you're planning to?" she asks more cheekily than she is feeling.

    Malfoy's eyes flash as if she had challenged him to a duel.

    "Is there something you need? Just say the word and I'll give it to you. Or do you prefer actions? I'm willing to do fucking anything..."

    Hermione's heart is beating indecently fast. She masks her fascination with a sceptically raised eyebrow.

    "Anything," she echoes.

    "Anything," he confirms.

    "All right, then. For starters, I'd like you to stop crowding me against this bookshelf."

    Summary

    Draco Malfoy's life is in ruins. After the war, there's nothing left for him anymore. The Malfoy name is irrevocably stained, the vaults emptied for reparations, his father kissed by a Dementor, his ancestral manor burned to the ground to cleanse Voldemort's stain.

    After two years in Azkaban he is released, a shell of his former self, into the care of his mother - both on permanent house arrest, both without their wands forever, both withering away in mind and soul by the day.

    A chance correspondence with an Unspeakable that turns out to be none other than the Golden Girl herself gives him an unexpected reprieve from his misery, but when he starts wishing for things he can't have, Granger's ideas for fixing it are drastic.

    Drastic enough that Draco Malfoy wakes up 11 years old again.
