Summary
Hermione, now in her mid-20s, is back at Hogwarts to pursue higher education. Trying to forget the trauma carved into her by the war, she spends one lust-filled night with a certain pureblood. But that night will have consequences.
While her personal life unravels, a string of mysterious murders forces her to work together with Draco Malfoy, who himself seems to carry many secrets."He scared her. Not because he wielded killing curses like they were nothing, but because he seemed to understand her in a way that even she didn’t. The more she let him in, the more power he had to destroy her."
Come for the smut, stay for the plot.

Summary
To truly know someone is to differentiate between who they once were, who they are now, and who they're capable of being. Hermione realises the duality of one man as she rectifies what she knows of the past and begins to understand the pieces of who Draco Malfoy is now: a father, a son, and a man.

Summary
Curling his hand around hers, he points their fingers up into the sky, moving with her, his voice low and quiet as he shows her the constellations he can find up there. The Maiden. The Thunderbolt. The Oak. The Watchful Eye. And yet only half his mind is on the stars. He is too aware of every place his body connects with hers, of how she leans back into him, of her racing heartbeat pulsing against the underside of her wrist, as fast and hard as his own.
No good decisions are made at this time of night.
The thoughts and feelings of the lonely Dread Wolf, spanning DA:I and through the end of Veilguard, as he loses his heart, wins another's, shatters them both, and contemplates destroying the world.

Summary
Cast out from her people for her crimes, the Forsworn Nemain somehow ends up in Helgen and meets the sworn enemy of her people, the man Madanach has sent her on a mission to kill: Ulfric Stormcloak.
Forsworn sympathizer, hater of Nords and remorseless killer, Nemain must decide what prejudices she will cling to, as she begrudgingly begins to respect the Bear of Markarth.
Can a heart once broken begin beating anew? Surely never for the man who slaughtered every man, woman and child of the Reach who stood against him.
Bitter and betrayed, this is the tale of Nemain the Dragonborn.
*Starts out canon compliant, and then goes into heavy AU territory. Lots of plot bunnies wreaking havoc: whatever happened to the Forsworn after the Cidna Mine incident? Is Ulfric Stormcloak merely a racist jingoistic dingleberry, or does he have 'layers'? And what if the Mage's Guild main quest didn't end there, but was blended with several Daedric quest storylines?
...and away we go.
