    Summary

    Post-war adulthood is a scam. Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley are married, and it’s… not great. The kind of unhappy that sneaks up on you.

    Meanwhile, Hermione’s closest people are somehow Draco and his wife Astoria. Yes, really. They’re sharp, supportive, and a little too good at calling her out. Lines blur. Boundaries get fuzzy.

    Then comes one night that absolutely should not have happened. No planning. No excuses. Just fire-whisky and impulse. And the worst possible fallout—Hermione is pregnant, and the father is Lucius Malfoy.

    After that? Everything cracks. Marriages strain. Friendships get tested. Old power dynamics crawl back into the light. Hermione is forced to make choices that don’t come with easy answers.

    This is messy chaos with long conversations, bad decisions, and consequences that refuse to stay quiet. Slow burn. Long fic. And yes... later chapters will be explicit.

    Plot’s still evolving, so the description will probably shift as I write, but this is the little plot bunny I’m chasing for now. :)

    Summary

    Hermione Granger has a good reason for avoiding Draco Malfoy, the cause of the most mortifying episode of her life. (She thought it was a date!) But he and his son are now unavoidably enmeshed in the lives of her best friends and their children. She should probably be offended that Ginny called in Draco and Scorpius to supervise as she babysits James and Lily. She’s too busy panicking.

    Summary

    Two years after the war, a young stranger pays a visit to the burrow. His arrival alone is baffling, but the news he brings of an upcoming war turns the world upside down. Hermione's quiet, post-war life will never be the same.

    Summary

    The war left marks on everyone, but Theodore Nott chose to wear his. After avoiding prison by cooperating with the Ministry, he now owns a hidden shop that offers protective magical tattoos to those still haunted by the past. Hermione seeks him out—not for a tattoo, but for answers about a spell found in a cursed book only Theo seems to understand.

    Their interactions begin as professional, but she’s drawn to the mystery of him—the way he never speaks of the war, the quiet kindness in his actions, the haunting stories behind every line of ink. And when she finally asks about the simple mark on his wrist, she learns it was meant to remind him of who he didn’t become.

    Summary

    A reunion of the Slytherin House sets off a rather befuddling sequence of events for Millicent Bulstrode. The last Bulstrode of Bulstrode Builders, she had thought she was past the bullying in school. She thought she had made a pretty good life for herself as the preeminent architect and builder in Britain. But after a drunken stunt with the widower, Draco Malfoy, Millicent's personal life and professional life get rather tangled. Of course, it doesn't help her nemesis Theo Nott keeps getting in the middle of it all.
