Summary
Hermione Granger has spent the past decade building her career as one of Western Europe's foremost experts on Curse Breaking. She's independent, in charge and completely content with the way life is unfolding for her.
Draco Malfoy is stuck down a well.
When the two of them encounter a strange fairy pool, their souls are bound and suddenly each knows everything about the other. Hermione is having none of it.
A philosophical, feminist investigation of soul bonds.

Summary
Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold.
Hermione Granger has a plan. She's going to return to Hogwarts, bury herself in studying for a record number of NEWTs, be an excellent (almost) girlfriend and try to ignore the growing sense that she doesn't actually know who she is when she has nobody to help.
Draco Malfoy has no plan. What he has is a powerful imagination and a propensity for burying himself in it when things get a bit... challenging. But perhaps even his imagination won't save him from the slow, inconvenient realisation that he has no idea who he actually is either.
This is a dual POV story about the painful business of growing up. And about two rivals doing it in uncomfortably close proximity.

Summary
Now complete.
Hermione Granger lives in a house with legs, with a swamp-lizard named Stripes, in a semi-sentient ecosystem that occasionally burps up lost things. It’s not ideal, but after five and a half years in the Neitherlands, she’s made it work.
Then Draco Malfoy falls from the sky. Literally.
He has questions, a missing bag, and limited patience for her deeply repressed need for human contact.
As they navigate a shaky path between physics and magic, and a shared past, they might even figure out how to save their world.
This is a story about two lonely people trying to stitch the cosmos back together.

The Root Will Not Hold by saltyorange (Velaaa), SilverHebridean

Summary
The second wizarding war ploughed on for eight years, only to end in an open field, with the collapse of Voldemort’s regime. Hermione Granger’s own collapse began somewhere in between, the day she found out that Draco wasn’t coming back. Grief seeded so deeply it was inherent to the root. Except on the last day of the war, Draco Malfoy does come back. Alive, blank-eyed, and completely unaware that he has ever loved her at all.

Summary
“How far up the coast?”
“It’s unreachable. That’s the point.”
“How far, Malfoy? Could we walk there by dawn?”
To his credit, he doesn’t sneer, or say, What, without magic?
He looks at the angle of her battered hand and the pain potion she grips like an addict, and tells her, “I really don’t think you’re capable.”
And she is so thankful for the gift of outrage she could kiss him.

Summary
Almost a decade after Voldemort's fall, a new wizarding war begins. After three long years, Hermione Granger, now a war-weary healer for the United Order, is transferred to a top-secret base in the Slovenian Alps. There, she collides with Draco Malfoy, a long-forgotten ghost from her past.
Now older, wiser, and more traumatised, can these two enemies become each other's guiding light in an increasingly dark world?
**
This is a character-driven story, told through Hermione’s eyes, exploring the traumas and impact of war, as well as the tender, human moments that can sometimes be found in between.
**TLDR: Two trauma-riddled idiots fight desperately NOT to fall in love... but we all know some battles are destined to be lost.
