Summary
Hermione Granger hasn't truly lived in years. As a Senior Lead Unspeakable in the Department of Mysteries antiquities division, she's replaced every friendship, warm meal, and quiet evening with work. The only person who seems to notice she's disappearing is the last person she'd expect: Draco Malfoy, her insufferable colleague who sends her home when her hands start shaking and slips Pepper-Up Potions into her desk when she isn't looking.
She doesn't know he's been in love with her for years. She doesn't know he's waiting for her to see him.
When an ancient Greek vessel unleashes a surge of wild magic that binds them together, unable to be more than two feet apart, the walls they've spent years building begin to crumble. And beneath the panic and the proximity, a quieter, more inconvenient magic begins to take root. One no spell can unwork. One that feels, inconveniently, like falling in love.

Summary
After her breakup with Ron, Hermione insists she is “taking time for herself,” which somehow turns into reading increasingly unhinged fantasy romance novels until her standards become completely incompatible with real life. She wants a man who is ancient, morally grey, terrifyingly competent, emotionally obsessed with her, and preferably capable of ripping enemies apart with his bare hands.
Draco Malfoy is many things - A war hero trying to rebuild his life. Devastatingly attractive. Annoyingly articulate. A bit feral when jealous. Very good in a suit. But he is not Fae. He is not 500 years old. He does not have wings. He has never once called anyone “my mate” without gagging.
And Hermione, tragically, keeps getting the ick.

Summary
Everything falls apart for Hermione when Ron kisses Lavender in the middle of the common room. Draco is breaking under the weight of the tasks he’s been given. None of them is particularly interested in the other and both of them are left alone in dealing with their issues. What happens when one small change, one coincidence brings them together... at their lowest? Prepare for the slow burn, prepare to start before the first spark is even visible. I am of the strong belief that everything they needed has been there the whole time.
So let’s go back to Hogwarts, back to year six,
and meet them where they are.Bookmarked by Dinnermint

Summary
In the wake of the second wizarding war, the Ministry of Magic enacts a marriage law to help with the repopulation efforts. To everyone's surprise, the reclusive war-heroine Hermione Granger is matched with Draco Malfoy, an ex-death eater recently released from Azkaban.
Bound to a legally-mandated timeline—cohabitation, consummation, conception—every intimate milestone of their relationship is dictated by the Ministry. Will they find a way out of this nightmarish arrangement? Will they somehow make it work even despite their history? Or will the past tear everything apart before they get the chance?
The war left everyone scarred, but some scars are less visible than others.
Or:
Hermione is traumatized and barely holding it together. Draco is depressed and drowning himself in guilt. Neither of them are stable enough for this, but neither of them have a choice.
A slow-burn Dramione marriage law fic with heavy angst, secrecy, and trauma, but also trust, recovery, and redemption.
