    Summary

    “You have an alarming habit, Granger, of mistaking forgiveness for absolution.”

    “And you have an alarming habit of polishing your misery until it starts to resemble virtue.”

    “Christ, Granger. Buy me a drink before you dismantle me that thoroughly.”

    “Please. You’ve got a cellar full of wine older than your bloodline. You can afford to be dismantled on your own tab.”

    His mouth curved, slow and thoroughly indecent. “Fuck me. I’m going to fall in love with you, aren’t I?”

    18 months after the war, Hogwarts reopens. Hermione returns. Draco does too: thinner, bitter, done with blood purity, and speaking to Snape’s portrait after midnight. Hermione listens. Snape knows.

    Their inquiry asks whether the dead can testify through portraits. Hermione sees magic no one understands; Draco sees one chance to free Blaise from Azkaban. Between midnight research, Theo’s interference and Draco’s disastrous jealousy, they fall in love.

    They leave Hogwarts without each other. Five years later, Draco has one argument left:

    “I don’t want to go back, Hermione. I want to arrive late to your life and spend the rest of mine earning the right to stay.”

    Summary

    SHOW ME.

    Will looks up from the notepad, eyes wide and blown. “Show you?”

    Mike nods, small but undeniably firm. Dead fucking serious.

    “Mike, you—” Will takes a quick breath to try to recalibrate his false confidence. His voice drops, feathery and intentional. “You want me to show you what a guy’s mouth feels like?”

    or

    Mike takes a 7-day vow of silence to win a bet. Will does everything in his power to make him break it.

    Summary

    This story started as a series of drabbles, ficlets, and could-have-been-canon scenes beginning in June of 1995 wherein Fred and Hermione slowly become more than friendly acquaintances. Similarly, this fic itself has gradually morphed into much more than that, and certainly more than I had ever intended it to be.

    It’s now 250k+ words of my explaining by example all of the ways that these two could - SHOULD - have been canon, and what that might have looked like if it ran alongside the events of the original books (or most of them, anyway).

    That said, this story is significantly darker than canon, and it touches on some of the trauma that was previously brushed over, as well as injecting some where it makes sense to have occurred. There’s plenty of humor and joy, but there’s also a lot of pain that, within the context of the story, has good reason to be felt.

    Regarding the Underage tag, the characters are ages sixteen and eighteen at the first occurrence. If this upsets your sensibilities, this is not the story for you. Especially triggering content will be called out in chapter notes.

    *TAGS AND CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS WILL BE CONTINUALLY UPDATED AS NEEDED UNTIL THIS IS COMPLETE*
