    Summary

    Five years after the Second Wizarding War, the boundaries of old rivalries have shifted. After serving his one-year house arrest, Draco Malfoy forged an unexpected, close friendship with Hermione Granger while working alongside her at the Ministry of Magic. Following the sudden death of Narcissa three years ago—succumbing to a lingering dark curse—Hermione, Pansy Parkinson, and Theo Nott rallied around Draco to pull him through his grief.
    ​Today, the core group of former rivals and war survivors—Hermione, Harry, Ginny, Draco, Pansy, Theo, Blaise, and Luna—regularly gather at Malfoy Manor. Meanwhile, Lucius Malfoy, quietly serving an eight-year house arrest, remains an enigmatic background figure. Resigned to his sentence, compliant with Auror wand checks, and managing the family estate from his study, catching Hermione's reluctant curiosity.

    ​During a particularly rowdy gathering at the Manor, the social atmosphere shifts from wine to firewhisky. Seeking a quiet moment, Hermione leaves the group for the library. On her way, she passes Lucius's study, where the door stands ajar, and the firelight casts distinct shadows against the wall, revealing an unexpected scene inside.

    Summary

    Eighteen years have passed since Hermione and Lucius traveled three-hundred years into the past. Together, they've built a life worth fighting for: a steadfast, passionate marriage, a beautiful family of five, and careers as Hogwarts professors.

    It is the start of a new school year, and things are off to a chaotic start. Her children struggle through the turmoil of growing up. Lucius's political ambitions threaten to topple their carefully crafted lies. Terrifying visions of a strange future plague Hermione, quickly turning from dreams into rips in the fabric of reality.

    As their lives upend, Lucius and Hermione discover that the magical forces that brought them together are just as eager to tear them apart. And if they want to keep everything they fought for, their love must be tested in a way it never has.

    Summary

    She was almost past the corner when something pale caught her eye against the dark ground.

    At first she thought it was cloth.

    A shirt, perhaps, torn and left where someone had been dragged clear.

    Then the rain moved through it, separating it into strands.

    Hair.

    Long, wet, almost white.

    She turned back and drew her wand.

    Summary

    In Corrieander's "Words Before Powers," Alexander and Alina are soulmates with their first words inscribed on their skin. They say each others' words before either of them realize she's the Sun Summoner. This remix (with gracious permission) extends that premise when Alexander delays the crossing to inspect the skiffs.

    How will Alexander cope as he comes to grips with the fact that his soulmate is not the Sun Summoner but rather a scrawny Otkazat’sya cartographer? How will Alina handle a soulbond with the dark and distant Grisha general?
