    Summary

    After her divorce, Hermione decides to get out of town to recover from the pain of her lost relationship and the miscarriage she suffered a year previously. She arrives in the Cotswolds depressed and aimless but compiles a list of things to do that she hopes will help her get back on her feet. In the midst of her journey to find healing she keeps running into Draco Malfoy, who is nothing like she remembered him. He invites her into his world, and Hermione finds exactly what she was looking for - in the place she least expected it.

    Summary

    He regards her with interest, cool as the ice in his G&T. “What do you want?”

    On close inspection, he's a bit deadly. It's the combined power of self-regard, an open ear, and a cunningly tailored suit.

    Hermione wants—

    “An expiration date would be nice.” She suctions up the watery dregs and signals for more. “Let’s say I want . . . a year. Exactly one year of monogamy without the possibility of further commitment."

    Summary

    Hermione’s adult life has meant a lot of carrying on. A war ends? She carries on. Her relationship ends? She carries on. Her optimism about swift reform in the Ministry ends? She carries on.

    An entire Yule Ball full of friends, acquaintances, and strangers mistakenly thinks she and Malfoy are having a grand relationship reveal mid-gala? She probably shouldn’t carry on.

    “They’re happy for us, Granger.”

    “And that, truth be told, is very unexpected.”

    [In which a single evening involves fake dating, only one bed, and the idea that sometimes things can be easy.]

    Summary

    Her gaze is encouraging, and Draco can do nothing but linger on the precipice of terrible want with remarkable self-restraint.

    She’s right here; solid and real and welcoming. Slipping through his undeserving fingers. Is he allowed a trauma timeline? He has no idea when it’s appropriate for him to reach suffering’s endpoint and move on.

    He’s a thestral with a beating wounded wing, still desperate to fly for her, to her.
