Summary
Ten years after the war, Hermione Granger has built a life on purpose: a brilliant career, more projects than hours in the day, and a future carefully unburdened by expectations. Draco Malfoy has done the opposite—running from his legacy, his family’s obligations, and a marriage contract he REALLY does not want to fulfill.
A chance encounter at a gala at Malfoy Manor binds them together in a way neither of them chose—and neither of them can undo.
An accidental marriage becomes something far more dangerous: a slow unraveling of old wounds, sharp-edged desire, and a bond rooted in ancient magic that refuses to be broken easily. As Hermione and Draco search for a way out, they uncover a story buried deep in the Malfoy line—a tragedy of love, betrayal, and sacrifice that may hold the key to their freedom… or doom them to repeat it.
Enemies bound by law. Lovers bound by magic.
And a question neither of them can escape: what if the cost of breaking the bond is more than they can bear?Accidental marriage. Slow emotional burn. Sharp banter, dangerous magic, and a lesson in accepting the love you think you don’t deserve.

Summary
Four years after the final Death Eater trials, marking the end of the war officially, Hermione finds herself drowning in residual unacknowledged trauma, a dangerously abusive relationship, and over worked as one of the top healers in St. Mungos. After a much needed girls night out, Hermione is confronted with a familiar face from her past that unknowingly triggers something that's been dormant for a century and has every intention of turning her already complicated life upside down.

Summary
There hasn't been a Wizard-Born Male Veela in three centuries. Well, until the day Draco Malfoy was born
Now, eighteen years later, he is ready to complete his transition into a full Veela, find his mate, and live a long and happy life. Which shouldn't be a problem. He was Draco Malfoy and nothing could get in his fucking way. Nothing..except for her that is. Because of course the day he transitioned he happened to discover that his mate was none other than the girl he had obsessively bullied for the last six years.
After all, what screams “soulmates” better than personally tormenting someone since they were eleven?
Now, if Draco Malfoy was a good Veela, he would do what was best for her. Maybe let her go. Let her move on and not tie her to the man who made it his personal mission to make her life a living hell. But, luckily for Draco, he wasn't a good Veela. Actually, he was a pretty bad fucking Veela, and as far as he was concerned, being with him was exactly what was best for her. So, he’s not going to let her go. He’s going to get her to fall in love with him instead.
That is, if she would just fucking cooperate.
But since when did Hermione Granger ever make things easy?

Summary
This is death.
He is a culmination of every age he has ever been and ever will be and if he does not have her—he will be in pain.
He will always be in pain.
Draco has always known what it means to be a Malfoy. His duty is to his House first, and to the inheritance of his father’s silhouette second.
What he never expects is that loyalties can shift; even the oldest, most entrenched ones.
She is a girl of impossible light, someone he was raised to hate and inevitably destined to lose. Some might call it obsession, but Draco knows the draw he feels toward Hermione Granger is not so easily named.
Years before the war, a bond between two supposed enemies is forged in secret, for the world has only ever seen them as a testament to the duality of human nature.
Draco will learn what becomes of a thread spun between two souls when it is cut loose—and he will do so by the skin of his teeth, for the fates are fickle, and there is no promise they will permit him to stitch his way back to her light.
Or: The HP series reimagined through the lens of Draco Malfoy (with a secret Dramione relationship).
