After killing the Mad King, Jaime Lannister is forced to take the black.

The Theory of Granger: On Falling in Love Without Saying a Word by LeChat_writes
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
16 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
“I’m in love with her.”
Nothing else. Just that. The words fall out of his mouth and hover there like the world’s least convenient Bludger. It’s the first time he’s said it out loud. It feels… odd. Heavy. Possibly terminal. He braces for questions, or judgement, or maybe an intervention.
What he gets instead is the not-at-all subtle sound of coins changing hands. Theo passes a handful of Galleons to Blaise.
“I told you,” Blaise murmurs, smug as sin.
••••
Draco Malfoy is no hero; just the Ministry’s unpaid consultant with a talent for sarcasm and survival. He plans to endure cursed artefacts and bad coffee in silence… until he starts noticing Hermione Granger. Flat shoes, sharper wit, and the kind of competence that makes even Malfoys pay attention.
He doesn’t speak to her. He just observes. Catalogues. Falls quietly, disastrously in love.

Summary
When Hermione is forced to spend a weekend at the Bulstrodes’ country estate glad-handing for the Ministry, she finds an unlikely ally in the only other house guest who hadn’t fled the country when the war broke out: Draco Malfoy.
"You feel it, don’t you?”
His fingernails dug into her wrist.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
She had the tip of her wand pressed into his jugular. His teeth flashed white.
“The war,” he said, not letting go, apparently unbothered by her ability to end his life with a tiny severing charm. “It’s not real to them.”- Language:

i fear/no fate by EnchantedPixie495, ifyouwereamelody

Summary
It’s disorientating, the way the dream rushes over her. One minute, Hermione’s lying in the dim of her room at Grimmauld Place, and the next, she’s blinking in the face of bright lights, music, laughter…
Strange.
It doesn’t even feel like a dream, really. She doesn’t feel like she’s sleeping at all; it’s more like standing in a memory, as if she’s closed her eyes and tipped head first into a Pensieve.

Summary
"Give it up, Granger. We've had our N.E.W.T. results for a week. What can possibly have earned your continued academic devotion in the last four days of term?"
Hermione placed a hand in the open pages of a third edition of Narayanan's Elidated Incantations: Shifting Paradigms in Articulated Casting and looked down at Draco.
He lay beside her in the field of grass outside the Quidditch pitch, prone and with his eyes closed, baptising himself in the benevolence of a cloudless day in late spring.
*Draco and Hermione have a lazy snuggle in the grass behind the Quidditch pitch.

Summary
Those who abolished the Statute of Secrecy in 1945 never intended the horrors that came afterwards.
By 1998, Wizarding Britain—styled after a reborn Roman Empire with Imperator Voldemort at its helm—controls most of Europe. Resistance is brutally crushed, muggles are in chains, and muggleborns are martyred by dragon fire in front of screaming crowds.
Hermione Granger is a domestic slave working in the Malfoy household, dreaming of a remade world, and hiding magic in her veins. Discovery means certain death.
Draco Malfoy, a tribune and spy for the Imperial Legion, carries the weight of painful secrets. For years, the only way to live with his dark reality has been to shut his eyes to it.
…But she has a burning star inside her—the light of an entire sun…
And now he is caught between the denial which defines his survival, and the woman he cannot deny.

Summary
It’s 2008 and Draco Malfoy is a secret assassin. It's legitimate - he gets paid for it, and some higher ups in the Ministry (probably?) know he’s out there… killing people. He’s quite good, but that tracks with his dubious accounting of rights and wrongs and his penchant for self-preservation. During his downtime he does a great job of acting like a pureblood in penance... mostly by drinking and shagging his way into oblivion.
This double life helps to numb Draco to the constant feelings of shame and guilt from his formative years in which he was an utter cunt- but everything is upended when his team (assassins can have coworkers, alright?) dies in action and he does not. Suspended and forced to go to therapy, Draco is adrift.
When Hermione Granger re-enters the fray, their hateful relationship that was once fraught with swotty bickering (erm, and the occasional slur) is suddenly tense in a very different way.
How will these two come together? How often will Theo say something terribly charming? Do we hate Ron or is Ron just, meh? Oh, and what’s going on with that one murderous witch who’s out to kill them all (forgot to mention that part…)?
Find out all this and more in: A HARD ROW TO HOE!

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.

now i hang from your lips (like the gardens of babylon) by cosmic_kate
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
Far in the east, deep in the desert, a king once erected a vast garden of greenery for his beloved queen. She was homesick, longing for some time or place far, far away, with rolling green hills and wet, humid summers.
Later, much, much later, historians would say it couldn’t be real. That it couldn’t be more than a myth, or poetry. The architecture was too advanced for the time. The irrigation systems were state of the art. And the beauty of it—exquisite, the poets said—was far too good to be true.
Hermione knows better. She knows the hanging gardens of Babylon very well did exist. She knows this because she knows magic. She knows this because she was there.

Summary
There were many empty rooms in Rivendell. But there were many guests, too, Elves who had arrived in order to cross the sea in the same great convoy as Elrond himself. They were waiting for the last to arrive, and then they would depart, streaming across the wilds and plains of Eriador, over the Ered Luin, down into Lindon. With them would go history, wisdom, learning and memory: beauty and song. And it would not come back.
Among this throng, Maglor passed, perhaps, as a wild Elf, who had come in from the wilderness to make that journey with them.
-
At the end of the Third Age, Maglor finds his way to Rivendell, and must decide whether or not to sail West with Elrond.
