Summary
Hermione Granger is used to disappointment.
When it comes to her love life, she’s given up hope of ever finding a meaningful connection. Seven years after the war, she finds herself trapped in a relationship she didn’t want with a wizard she can’t stand, suffocating under the weight of fame she never asked for.
Draco Malfoy wasn’t supposed to be released from Azkaban for at least another year. After he shows up to the restaurant where Hermione just so happens to be on a date looking more handsome than she remembers, she can’t seem to get the tall blond out of her head.
And he keeps popping up at the strangest of times.
When a scandal she can’t avoid leads her to uproot her entire life and move to Paris, Hermione is ready for a fresh start. But what happens when the one-night stand she tried to leave behind in London comes calling?
Chaos. Blackmail. Some light to moderate stalking.
He says they’re meant for each other. She thinks he needs to get his head examined.
What could go wrong?

Summary
Hermione only meant to test the wards and unpack in peace.
She did not mean for Draco Malfoy to stroll into her rooms and discover a very private, very lavender Muggle device humming on her desk.
What follows is an “academic exercise” in mortification, negotiation, and… extracurricular study.

Summary
Hermione Granger survived two years in enemy hands. Or so she claims. But in a war where minds can be tampered with, survival is no guarantee of freedom. The Order watches her now, suspicion mounting as one question weighs heavier than the rest.
They say no one escapes the Harrower whole.
So how did she?

Summary
[COMPLETED]
There’s a saying: an albatross around one’s neck, a monkey on one’s back. Some debts can never be repaid. Some scars never truly heal.Draco Malfoy has always been haunted by his past—but nothing compares to the battle he faces now. As the line between ally and enemy begins to blur, he must confront the demons within and the choices that threaten to tear his world apart.
When Hermione Granger re-enters his life just as he’s trying to rebuild it, neither of them expects the storm ahead. Together, they must navigate a fragile alliance that could either build a future—or destroy them both.
But in the end, the question remains:
Does Draco even want to be saved?
Or will he surrender to the darkness, once and for all?This is not the story of the Golden Girl.
This is not about a heroine saving another soul.
This is the story of the last Malfoy heir—his spiraling mind, his unspeakable past, his guilt, rage, and loneliness... the burden no one sees.This is the story of a villain who may not have been a villain at all—
Just another victim no one ever tried to save.- Language:

Summary
Mickey eyes the plain white envelope suspiciously as he slowly takes it from Ian’s hands. His brows furrow slightly. “I thought for sure you’d make us take the day off from work.”
“No, not today,” Ian says playfully, pretending to think about it. “But tomorrow, don’t bother setting your alarm.”
Mickey grins, all teeth. “Long weekend?”
The hopefulness in his eyes is already enough to convince Ian that what he has planned is a good idea. Just the prospect of a day off has Mickey beaming.
“Extra-long,” Ian tells him, rolling over to the side and propping his elbow up on the mattress, his head resting on his fist. “We took Monday off too.”

Summary
This is a one shot prequel to my “The Story of Us” alternative universe Gallavich series. It focuses on Mickey’s struggles when Yev was a baby. Ian is only mentioned in this story because at this point in my AU timeline he’s still in Boston with Clayton and Lucy.
If you’ve read the other works in the series I hope you recognize the connections! Enjoy!
