    Neither ever meant for the other to witness what they did.

    Neither could stop thinking about it.

    And both desperately hoped it would happen again.

    Summary

    When Hermione Granger began publishing potions research under the pseudonym Harmony Grey at thirteen, she never expected to captivate the mind of Severus Snape, one of the most enigmatic figures in the field. What begins as an anonymous exchange of ideas grows into something far more profound—a connection built on intellect, ambition, and an understanding neither of them can quite name. But ambition is a double-edged sword, and the closer Hermione comes to realizing her full potential, the more fragile her carefully constructed world becomes. Secrets are powerful things, and when they begin to unravel, so do the lines between past and present, between mentor and protégé, between what is forbidden and what is inevitable.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger cast a spell meant to reveal a soulmate.

    Instead, she bound half of Wizarding Britain in magical matrimony—including herself.

    Exiled from her home, shunned by friends, and haunted by the consequences of her own brilliance, Hermione is determined to undo what she has done.

    And Severus Snape, bitter and bound to her against his will, may be the only one who understands the weight she carries.

    She meant to summon truth.

    Instead, she conjured a storm.

    And some bonds refuse to be broken.

    Summary

    This is the companion piece to my main work, Ink & Alchemy, which is written entirely from Hermione’s perspective. This work will not make sense without reading the original. It is not a retelling of the entire story—instead, it is a selection of scenes from the main story written from Snape’s perspective, as well as a few additional scenes that Hermione is not present in. It is intended to enrich the reader and give them insights into things happening behind the scenes as well as giving the reader a glimpse into the mind of a man who was never corrupted by Voldemort and his influences.

    Summary

    Ain't nobody got time for implied sexual content - so here it is - the time in between John Blackthorne going to Mariko's room and spooning before being so rudely awakened by some dumbass shinobi. Episode 9.

    I'm more of a minimalist, dialogue heavy writer, so tried to be a little more long winded and descriptive here. I'm also not super great with smut - there will be no quivering mounds of love pudding here - but i think I got the point across.

    Hope you like it.
