Summary
Hermione Granger has been called many things: the Brightest Witch of her Age, the Golden Girl, Harry Potter’s best friend—and now, Hogwarts’ Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
Ten years after the Battle of Hogwarts, she returns hoping to find peace, or maybe just a life that doesn’t hurt so much. Was it too much to ask for a little karmic compensation for saving Britain’s Wizarding World? Instead, she got a First Order of Merlin and a lifetime’s worth of ghosts.
Murphy’s Law has been fucking her over since she befriended Harry and Ron—why should it stop now? All she wanted was solace. A home.
What she finds instead is Draco soddin' Malfoy: widower, Potions Master, and the one person who reminds her that peace was never promised.
Between old grudges, lingering ghosts, and a curse that refuses to stay buried, Hermione learns that sometimes, salvation looks a lot like the thing you swore you’d never want.

Summary
‘Hermione watched with forced apathy as Draco bent down to gather Scorpius and Lyra into his arms and gave them both kisses on their cheeks and noses. When he stepped back, Lyra clutched Hermione's leg and Scorpius waved.
"Bye, papa," he said over and over again as Draco vanished, his eyes flicking up to Hermione's at the last second. She stared into the flames for ages after the green had faded, wondering if she had imagined the look of anguish on his face.’
OR
Draco moved to Paris for a job and neither one of them knows how to salvage the situation (or do they?)

Summary
"Maybe in another life, we’re lovers.”
Hermione’s breath caught.
He looked at her.
“And maybe this...” he gestured between them again, “...is just an alternate universe. A different version of that life.”Written for Harmony Out of the Ordinary Prompt Fest, it’s not a traditional AU. No time travel, no soul bonds, no swapped houses or Dark Lords returned.
Just two best friends in their thirties, tangled up in everything but the truth. Harry’s relationships keep ending for the same reason-- they all think he’s already in love with Hermione.
And maybe… they’re not wrong.
A slow, aching, tender unraveling of the story they've told themselves.
One night, one breakup, one firelit living room, one bottle of whiskey...and a universe where Harry and Hermione stop pretending not to be that other love story.

Summary
Their friends have tried every trope in the book: only one bed, forced proximity, childhood friends, mutual pining, even co-parenting Crookshanks. But despite living half their lives entangled, Harry and Hermione remain firmly un-romantic.
Until Lavender Weasley suggests the last resort: fake marriage.
Now, tricked into attending a couples-only tropical retreat, complete with enchanted hot tubs, intimacy rituals, and enough sensual food play to make a house-elf blush, Harry and Hermione will have to keep up the act. Or possibly stop pretending altogether.
Written for the Harmony Out of the Ordinary Fest, this is a trope-twisting, resort-core love story about crossing the line between best friends and soulmates… with the help of edible shower gel.

Summary
Sometimes you have to make the most of the hand you’re dealt in life, and that’s exactly what Hermione Granger has done, pouring everything into her career and her relationship when fate determined that that was all she could have. Sometimes, though, fate changes its mind and you are left picking up the pieces.
