Summary
This is a continuation of Alluvium - a retelling of Naomi Novik's Uprooted from the Dragon's perspective. The first nine chapters were completed by AWizardWithoutHerStaff, who has graciously allowed me to carry on the story with her premise.
So: you will first need to have read Uprooted. Then you will need to have read Alluvium for chapters 1-9, because we're picking things up right off the bat with Chapter 10
*(If you're here for smut: see Ch 16: Chapter 27 - Part One)

Summary
Agnieszka has a grievance. Sarkan swallows his pride.
(Just because they’re in love now doesn’t mean he’s suddenly great at being a person.)
Third epilogue of the Alluvium/Diluvium Sarkan POV series. Set ~2 months post-canon. Will make sense without reading the rest (though I invite you to indulge)

Summary
Any connection forged from eight or so handfuls of Spindle water can take only a few months to wear off, Sarkan reckons, and there is work to be done at court at any rate. That should be time enough to stop thinking about Agnieszka.
He, unfortunately, is wrong on many counts.
Sarkan's meandering musings from the end of the novel to post epilogue as he flees to Kralia only to be pulled back to the valley.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov stands in the doorway, blood dripping from his nose. It’s splattered on his shirt too, red and dark. Fresh, if Shane had to guess. His knuckles look cut up, and his left eye looks slightly swollen, like someone had landed a punch there recently.
“I need a drink,” he says, accent thicker than usual. “A strong one.”
or: Shane Hollander runs a bar in Lower Manhattan. Ilya Rozanov, second son of the head of the Russian mob, just so happens to be one of his more frequent patrons.

Summary
NHL golden boy Shane Hollander has spent his entire life being perfect — the ideal captain, the flawless teammate, the face of the franchise. He’s also spent his entire life hiding.
When a chance encounter in a New York club leads him to Ilya Rozanov, Shane discovers what it means to finally let go. The problem? Ilya isn’t just confident, wealthy, and dangerously attractive. He’s also the heir to the Russian Bratva’s North American empire.
What starts as one reckless weekend becomes something neither of them expected: real, consuming, and worth protecting at any cost — even when that cost includes bodies, lies, and a secret that could destroy everything Shane has built.
Twenty-five years, three Stanley Cups, countless threats, and one question: how far will you go for the person who makes you feel like yourself?

Summary
After their engagement, Ilya and Shane return to Russia under the cover of the Irina Foundation, knowing it may be the last time Ilya ever sets foot there. What waits for him is not closure, but grief, memory, and a past he learned to survive by becoming quiet and hard.
It isn’t about going back to the life he escaped.
It’s about one final goodbye—to the place that shaped him, and to the mother he never stopped missing.With Shane beside him—steady, patient, and fiercely careful—Ilya faces grief he’s spent years surviving, old fear that still lives in his bones, and the quiet truth he’s been avoiding:
some doors don’t close cleanly… but you can still choose how to leave them.This is a story about grief, survival, and choosing a future where home is no longer a place, but a person.

Summary

Summary
Draco Malfoy has been forced to marry Hermione Granger at the end of the war. For six long years they’ve lived a life of mutual antipathy but then Draco is made to spy on his wife.
The closer he gets to the woman that despises him, the more his own dislike starts to crumble and something shifts inside him. Slowly hate turns to something else.
Just as he starts to wonder about the woman who’s been his wife all this time and who she really might be behind her cold facade, he’s told their marriage that has been in name only must be consummated.
And his carefully maintained indifference comes crashing to the ground.

Summary
Hermione had no idea how she’d found herself here, in his bedroom, Draco’s hand running along her back to the base of her spine with the sort of possessive pressure she’d only imagined. No idea how his lips had been on hers only seconds ago.
“You’re beautiful,” he murmured against her skin, “Far too beautiful for me,”
It was a lie of course and one she could take no pride in. With her altered hair and eyes and nose, he wasn’t seeing her anyway - she was a facsimile of Hermione Granger, a new version of herself just for his benefit. One that was capable of persuading Draco Malfoy to take her to bed in a way that Hermione never could.
Hermione is sent on a secret mission, disguised as a muggle, to spy on Draco Malfoy. Things start to unravel quickly...

Summary
Sixteen Years ago Draco Malfoy lost the girl because he didn't have a plan. It's not a mistake he's going to make twice.
Hermione Granger has no plans on making the same mistakes twice, either, and as far as she is concerned, Draco Malfoy was definitely a mistake.
They have just seven sessions to unweave the past from the present. Seven sessions in which they both want to figure out a way to move on with their lives. However, Draco is determined that he'll be doing it with Hermione by his side, and Hermione is sure it will after she finally allows herself to say goodbye.
NOTE: This is the second fic in this series. You need to read the first to have this make any sense.

Summary
Sixteen years ago, Hermione Granger removed herself from Draco Malfoy's memory. She never expected to see him again.
If he hadn't kept journals of their time together, she might have been right.
***
“Hello, Kit.”
Her intuition and Sneakascope had both failed her. The deep voice that reverberated around her office wasn’t that of an administrator. And it called her a name she hadn’t heard in 16 years.
One that heralded danger.
She didn’t turn. Couldn’t turn. There was no way her eyes could confirm what her brain already knew. Besides, she’d already been bled, vomited and sweated on; she didn’t need to add her own tears to the mix.
“So it’s true then?” the voice continued, “Curious.”

Summary
“Per Haskell gave him the attic to humiliate him, making him climb the stairs so often,” Jesper told her once, as they watched a Razorgull messenger reach their landing, puffing for breath before starting the last flight of stairs to Kaz’s attic rooms. Jesper dealt another hand as he spoke, the gesture automatic; he was teaching her Zemeni card games in their free time. “So of course, Kaz had to turn it into the Dregs’ center of operations and make all of us climb the damn stairs right along with him.”
Though she wasn’t paid to do it, she gathered secrets about Kaz anyway. It was becoming a habit: anywhere she went, from the chip vendors to the roofs of chapels, she gathered.
(5+1: the Crows as they learn to understand Kaz Brekker.)
