Summary
The summer after first year, Hermione Granger’s parents meet Harry Potter and realize something is deeply wrong.
What follows is not a rescue fantasy, but a reckoning: with institutions that failed, with the limits of protection, and with what it means to raise children in a world that never intended to keep them safe.
Canon divergence beginning in Year Two. Multi-year AU.

Summary
Hermione Granger thought adulthood would bring fulfilment and stability. After all, she had defeated a Dark wizard at eighteen, how complicated could life possibly get after that? But at twenty-five, stuck in a tedious job at the Ministry of Magic and staring down a worrying bank balance, she uncovers a family secret that turns her world upside down: she is the heir to an ancient and scandalously vast fortune. The catch? To access it, she must marry a pure-blood.
Draco Malfoy isn’t exactly living the dream either. Struggling to uphold the grandeur of the Malfoy name, he learns that his own inheritance will be frozen unless he meets the very same condition. And guess who he’s expected to marry.
Determined to find a way to keep their respective inheritances while going their separate ways, Hermione and Draco decide to fake an engagement. It’s a simple plan: survive the obligatory outings, nosy families, disgruntled friends, and the complicated feelings that start to creep in along the way.

Summary
Hermione finally came clean with her closest friends when she went to retrieve her parents because she had to admit that it wasn't from Australia, and they'd never been Obliviated. She'd kept her muggle identity strictly secret all through school and the war... She'd lied to everyone, said her parents were boring nobodies.
They weren't, and neither was she... but only four people know that now and she's not even back in England yet when a familiar owl, Draco Malfoy's owl to be exact, finds her to deliver a letter.
A letter that changes her life, her heart, her view of the entire bloody universe if she's honest...
A letter so lovely that he's the first person she wants to see the moment she's home, especially after a meeting with the Minister that dropped a bomb.Not her friends who she hasn't seen in nearly a year... HIM.
Draco.
He never expected an answer, let alone to see her... but now he'd do anything to win her. He's just made the greatest breakthrough in Magical Medicine in centuries and isn't the bully she remembers, he's a good and worthy man now ready to woo the pants off her... literally. If she'll let him.

Summary
At 24 years old, Hermione Granger-Weasley is tired: of a life half-lived, of an atrocious marriage, of fair-weather friends and the grief that clings to her every breath. Returning home for the final time, she expects the dirty dishes, she expects the faint smell of a place too many days without cleaning - she even expects her cheating husband.
She doesn't expect, however, her best friend on their marital bed - or how the man who once claimed to be the love of her life killed her without a second thought.
Most of all, she doesn't expect to wake up ten years in the past, just in time to save herself from a tragic demise and maybe, just maybe, get to have a life worth living.

“So, your robot picked up on some weird space activity and you…” she squints. “Just decided to take a spaceship to see what’s up?”
“Well…yes,” Reed says. Again, like it’s obvious. “That’s what we do. We’re—” he stops and studies her. “You really don’t know who we are?”
Darcy glances around the lab, where half her monitors are filling with information being scanned and gathered from their docked ship, at the nervous interns who insist on wearing full hazmat suits clustered near the door. “I feel like it’s pretty obvious that no one here knows who you are,” she says after a moment.
“We’re the Fantastic Four.”
She stares at him for a moment. “Did you come up with that name yourselves?”

Summary
During a reunion party hosted by Howard Stark, the Howling Commandos, Peggy Carter, and George and Winifred Barnes witness a great working of science and fate.
It was then that a body flew through the opening of the tear, thudding painfully some feet away from where it had come through on the wooden floor on the room.
Whipping her gun arm up, Peggy trained her sights on the—man, she identified—on the ground. Breathing heavily, he quickly leapt to his feet and whirled around, a knife suddenly appearing in his grip.
While his clothing was odd and unfamiliar, his face was known to her.
"Sergeant Barnes?" Came a gasp from behind her from Corporal Dugan.

Summary
Dick Grayson hugs the way most people breathe: easy and natural, like it's a necessary part of living.
Tim's wrapped up in one now, his brother's arms all the way around his shoulders, tugging him in close.
He's never told Dick that the first hug he can remember is that day at the circus, from a stranger who would in time be family. He's never told Dick that the next hug he remembers after that is nine years later, caught up in those same strong arms. He thinks he'd rather die than admit it.
"You're not hurt?" Dick is saying. "Nothing cruel and unusual, right?"
"She only let me have one cup of coffee a day," says Tim, very dry, and Dick makes a strange sort of a sound, almost a laugh, and tightens his hold so much it sweeps Tim right off his feet.

Bookmarker's Notes
Tim's idea of fun is not sitting in some drafty old warehouse, tied hand and foot to a swivel computer chair.
It's a comfy chair, at least. He hasn't even been tied so that the ropes cut into the skin. His captor hasn't shown the slightest inclination toward hurting him — but she also hasn't shown the slightest inclination toward letting him out.
"You could have done this somewhere better, you know," says Tim, and kicks the chair into an idle spin, for lack of anything else to do. It just sort of wobbles and totters forward into a slow turn.
"Oh, don't be like that," says Selina.

“It’s only…” Hermione said at last. “I’m not sure I belong in that world – the one where sigils and family names matter more than what you can actually do.”
“You belong in any world you choose to understand,” her aunt said after a moment. “The difference between inclusion and belonging is knowledge. You already have the mind for it, but now you must learn the customs, the language, the history.” Yseult smiled faintly. “You are of the magical world, Hermione. It claims those who earn it, and if you are willing, I can help teach you the rest.”
Hermione blinked at her then looked back down at her pastry. The words settled deep in her chest, resonant and uncomfortable all at once.
She nodded slowly, and a wide grin broke out across Yseult’s face.
