Summary
After Draco Malfoy returned to England, he wrote a letter he never intended to send, but his owl Hades had different plans, resulting in Hermione Granger receiving an anonymous confession she wasn’t supposed to read.
Or
You’ve Got Mail (With Owls)…sort of.
An epistolary slow burn.

Summary
A white dress or a lifetime in Azkaban. Hermione Granger had no choice, marry Draco Malfoy or die imprisoned as a war criminal. But Draco was not what he once was…
Rumors of what had befallen the Malfoy heir following the war circulated among gossips and tabloids. Many said he was cursed to live a life in exile. Those who had laid eyes on him whispered that he was covered in scales, a grotesque hybrid of human and creature. And now, Hermione was to be wed to the dragon disguised as a man.
A story of acceptance, healing, and monster smut.

Summary
"Binding her soul to Draco Malfoy’s felt exactly like being Crucioed. It hurt like bones breaking, like skin burning, like it would end her before she had ever had the chance to really begin."
--Haunted by the faces disappearing around her, Hermione grasps onto anything that can tip the scales of the war. When an opportunity in the form of a prophecy presents itself, she grabs on, even when the cost is her very soul."Suddenly, images of her flashed through his head, wiry hair and overly large teeth staring into his train compartment, her face crumpled with hurt the first time he had said that word to her, a girl smiling under a misty ceiling made of stars in the Great Hall. The same brown eyes with full cheeks just below them, brown eyes filled with excitement, brown eyes with purple bruises under them, brown eyes with fear pooled in them, brown eyes with a cut above a brow, tears spilling from brown eyes, a reflection of a cursed dagger in the pupil. He couldn’t look away."
--Willing to do almost anything to save his mother and end the war, Draco does the unthinkable. Defying years of prejudice and forsaking a sacred lineage, he ties his soul to the very person he had been raised to hate for survival.- Language:

Summary
A Very Important Note!
At some point in the not too distant future, The World of Wait and Hope will be removed from Ao3. As soon as I have a specific date, I'll be sure to update! In the meantime, please feel free to download copies of the series to save for yourself if you'd like to have them! You can find me (and more information on my traditional publishing journey!) on instagram as @amandagaylewrites. I owe this story and the fandom who has loved it a tremendous amount of gratitude, and I cannot wait for y'all to see it in its next iteration.“Harry,” Hermione began, voice very controlled, but she could feel the blade of panic slicing at her vocal cords. “Why was Draco Malfoy just screaming bloody murder about his,” and the word almost strangled her as she said it, “wife?”
[In which Hermione loses the last six year's worth of her memories, including the entirety of her relationship and marriage to Draco.]
