Summary
“Oh, Feyre.” His voice was low, dangerous. Intimate. “I’m anything but safe. For you.”
How dare he!
“You don’t know what I want.” Her chin lifted. “Or what’s good for me.”
“Don’t I?” He said quietly. “I see you. I see all the pieces you think you’re hiding.”
She stepped back, blanching. “What—what do you mean?”
“You think I haven’t noticed?” Rhys sounded pained. “How you catalog every exit? The way you hold your breath when people get too close?” Another step. “I see the weight, the secrets carving you hollow." His face darkened. "I don’t need to know what they are, but don’t stand there claiming you want complications when you’re drowning in battles you won’t let anyone help fight.”
She felt stripped bare, exposed, yet blind with defiance.“You think Tarquin would be simpler?” Bitter laughter spilled out. “You think anyone would be simple right now?” He was close now—his heat and cologne making her dizzy. She couldn't believe how deeply he’d seen her. “I don’t need saving, Rhys.” Feyre met his gaze unflinchingly. “And I don’t want safe.”
His eyes flared. “Then tell me, Feyre—what do you want?” A pause. Vulnerability flickered. “And why won’t you reach for it?” -

Summary
The air in the kitchen was rich with the scent of baking.
He reached around her, chest warm against her back, and set the serving spoon on the counter. For a moment they lingered there—her whisking, him solid and present. The cream was smooth and pale, catching the afternoon light.
“Perfect timing on the cake,” he murmured, lips brushing the shell of her ear.
“Is it? I feel like I just… began,” she admitted with a laugh. “But it smells right.”
“When you’re busy up here”—he tapped lightly at her temple—“time doesn’t stand a chance.”
She arched an eyebrow, fighting back a smile. “If focus could bend temporal mechanics, arithmancers would be immortal.”
“Only the clever ones who survive the paradox cascade. You’d navigate it flawlessly, of course.”
The cream had formed perfect peaks, but Hermione barely noticed. Her whisk hovered mid-air, eyes wide. Something hot and electric shot through her chest as his words sank in.
“Who are you?” she whispered in awe. The timer chimed then, mellow and silver, harmonizing with the wind chimes. -

Summary
“Malfoy,” she whispered. He didn’t respond, mouthing the words as he read over her shoulder. She tilted her chin back, and their eyes met. “What do you know of the Mirror of Erised?”

Summary
Draco Malfoy is dead, and Hermione Granger never meant to go to his funeral.
But when Theodore Nott presses a box of letters into her hands, she finds herself unravelling secrets that were never meant to reach her.
Each page is a confession, a love story written in silence: envy, dreams, regrets, and words he could never say aloud.
By the time she reaches the last letter, Hermione must confront the cruellest truth of all: that sometimes, love comes too late.Inspired by the song "All I want" by Kodaline

Summary
It’s 2008 and Draco Malfoy is a secret assassin. It's legitimate - he gets paid for it, and some higher ups in the Ministry (probably?) know he’s out there… killing people. He’s quite good, but that tracks with his dubious accounting of rights and wrongs and his penchant for self-preservation. During his downtime he does a great job of acting like a pureblood in penance... mostly by drinking and shagging his way into oblivion.
This double life helps to numb Draco to the constant feelings of shame and guilt from his formative years in which he was an utter cunt- but everything is upended when his team (assassins can have coworkers, alright?) dies in action and he does not. Suspended and forced to go to therapy, Draco is adrift.
When Hermione Granger re-enters the fray, their hateful relationship that was once fraught with swotty bickering (erm, and the occasional slur) is suddenly tense in a very different way.
How will these two come together? How often will Theo say something terribly charming? Do we hate Ron or is Ron just, meh? Oh, and what’s going on with that one murderous witch who’s out to kill them all (forgot to mention that part…)?
Find out all this and more in: A HARD ROW TO HOE!

Summary
Five years after the war, Hermione Granger is tasked by the Minister to head a new program designed to rehabilitate Azkaban prisoners back into Wizarding Society. Her first assignment? Draco Malfoy.
Forced to work together for six weeks, Draco resists every attempt at redemption. Worse? He’s turned into a tattooed sex-god, who is determined to get under her skin, or in his case, under her. But as tensions rise and tempers flare, something unexpected sparks between them; the more she pushes him to heal, the more he forces her to face her own fractured heart.
As the line between obligation and attraction blurs, Hermione finds herself wondering: What happens when the person you swore to fix ends up fixing you?
