Summary
Hermione Granger comes when she wants, leaves when she’s done, and never apologizes. Draco Malfoy’s only problem? He loves being eaten alive.
* * * *
"Take your trousers off, Malfoy."
Draco would be the first to admit that somewhere along the line, he'd apparently developed a type for terrifying women in politics who bossed him around with a snap of their manicured fingers and expected immediate compliance.
Or, more precisely, for the singular, terrifying witch named Hermione Granger currently standing before him.

Summary
Being competent is exhausting. All day long, Hermione makes important decisions—so many that she hardly has the time to choose her lunch. Or make it.
Or eat it.
And her startlingly competent coworker has everything in order—his job, his health, even his six-year-old daughter. After witnessing her plight, he offers to take a load off her shoulders. Help her out with things like...lunch.
It should be embarrassing.
It is embarrassing.
And yet...
She...likes it?

Summary
Hermione makes a decision that fractures the order of her careful life, and finds herself in Draco Malfoy’s bed. It was supposed to be a single, controlled mistake, but he’s no longer the person she remembers, and the more she returns to him, the harder it becomes to pretend this was ever only a lapse in judgement.

Summary
There was no conceivable reality where Hermione Granger would want him, but Draco had made that possible—in his dreams.
He had chosen to call them that, instead of what they really were. It seemed less degrading, less self-destructive; it felt more innocent. So he bent the concept until it became true.
In his dreams, she wanted him back.
She was his.
An unexpected incident ignites a spark of interest in Draco Malfoy’s heart for his potions lab partner, Hermione Granger. Despite his attempts to keep his distance, their forced proximity grows into friendship, and later, Draco falls madly in love with her, driving him to utter despair.
Tormented by his past and the impossibility of their future together, he develops a way to have her on his terms, even knowing this act will lead to his own demise. Now, bound by lies, self-destruction, and obsession, Draco lets himself be consumed by his own creation—and will be forced to face the fallout of his choices.
However, when love is as devastating as a wildfire, it’s impossible to not let it burn.

Summary
What if it was only Hermione who was captured by snatchers? What if Greyback was the one to torment her instead of Bellatrix? What if she chanced a way to save herself because nobody else would? Nobody, really?
//
Or the one where Draco sacrifices a part of himself to free Hermione and she is hellbent on showing him her gratitude (to his annoyance).
