Summary
Draco Malfoy is on the run. Hermione Granger is supposed to be moving on. She denies the hatred that still spills out of her, but, impossibly and unexpectedly, her half-written scrap of a Howler reaches Draco, and what unfolds surprises them both.
A meandering tale of post-war interactions between two former enemies, unmoored and volatile, after their greater enemy Voldemort is gone.
--
Formerly titled: "Don't send that Howler"
Inspired by the existential angst of writing and rewriting a text you know you shouldn't send if you want your life to be easy.

Summary
In the limbo of house arrest, Draco and Narcissa grapple with the evil still left in their Manor and themselves. The wickedness must be washed away. Through purging or through lies—all methods are acceptable. No stains can remain.
As their impending trials at the Wizengamot approach, Draco exploits a loophole of potion abuse: combining Veritaserum consumption with Occlumency training, he leads his mother down a winding journey into their past, to discover their truths and bury them, until all that was dark and corrupt has been drowned and buried.
Sanctimonia Vincet Semper.

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:

Summary
Draco only had to hide his father's death for a week to collect on a dirty Quidditch bet, but Hermione caught him in the act. Now, she has to find Lucius Malfoy's body before she can report the death, and it could be anywhere in the house. Malfoy Manor is larger and more powerful than she ever thought possible, and there are secrets and horrors buried inside that even Draco's never imagined. Trapped in a semi-sentient house without a master, there's nowhere to hide from the ancient Dark Magic or the Malfoy family's gruesome past.
