Summary
Draco Malfoy has built himself a quiet life in Diagon Alley. He brews potions, runs his shop, raises his son, supports the small shops around him and allows elderly witches to bully him into accepting sweets he does not want. It is a good life. A life that keeps his days carefully ordered.
Then Hermione Granger begins walking past Neville’s shop every morning with her daughter and her yellow school bag. Hermione never looks at him. Rose does. One yellow school bag, one unnecessary change to Draco’s routine, and suddenly the life he thought was settled begins to shift.
Hermione has problems of her own. A marriage held together by habit. Ron is gone more often than he is home, his affairs have become poorly kept secrets, and his Quidditch career matters to him far more than the daughter waiting for him to remember her.
Somewhere between school runs, potion orders, legal threats, old grief, and two children becoming friends before their parents do, Draco falls in love. Slowly. Completely.
Hermione notices. She has simply decided someone else can do some of the work for once.

Summary
Seven years after her death, Hermione awakens. It is confusing to understand how she went from fighting Bellatrix the night the Death Eaters entered Hogwarts to being a seventeen-year-old girl surrounded by her friends who were now in their twenties. Time passed, but not for her. Brought back to life, Hermione does everything she can to behave normally, but every time her eyes meet the culprit of her death, even if he wasn't the one who killed her, she can't help but let the hatred bubbling inside her burn more fiercely.
Unfortunately, Draco Malfoy earned a place among her friends when she wasn't there, and she has to spend more time with him than she would like, but as the years go by she discovers that of all the people around her, Malfoy was the only one who made her feel completely alive.
Was it guilt that made him draw closer every time she pushed him away? Was it hatred that made Hermione find his eyes in crowded places? Or did they both feel something more?

Summary
She lost her magic slowly, at first.
It started as a creeping deadness somewhere low in her abdomen.
It spread outward like necrosis into her chest and her head and her limbs. She had no recollection of when, exactly, it had begun.
~
Hermione has made a name for herself in the Order as a gifted inventor of spells. As the war careens into its seventh year, she fights to keep Harry alive by developing a potion that strengthens his magic to the detriment of his physical health. Wracked with guilt at his rapid deterioration and desperate to save his life, she risks liaising with Draco Malfoy, the head inquisitor in Voldemort’s secret police force and a talented but dangerous Legilimens. Her risk does not go to plan, and after enduring months of brutal captivity, she loses her capacity to do magic.
To her dismay, Malfoy now seems to be her only hope of regaining her former ability.
A dark, slow-burn war AU about trauma, recovery, and reclamation of feminine power

Summary
Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy have one thing in common: Life has not gone the way either of them imagined it would when they were children.
Filled with regret (albeit for different reasons), they both try their best to keep a content facade in front of the rest of the world... that is, until an unexpected event thrusts them into a familiar situation that could very well be the second chance they both so desperately want, if they're brave enough to take it.Bookmarked by sourgelato

Summary
Five years after the war, Draco Malfoy keeps his life small: a London flat, a forgettable Ministry job, and a policy of avoiding literally everyone. It’s working—he’s stable, if still sarcastic as hell—right up until Hermione Granger shows up to ruin his lunch.
Now a Ministry Investigator, she “requests” his help searching Malfoy Manor for a dangerous artifact…one the last Death Eaters are also hunting. But when a routine inspection turns into something far more tangled—surfacing long-buried truths—they’ll have to confront who they were and who they might become.
----
Or, Draco got therapy and space after the war. He's still an arse but is trying to be a better person when he reconnects with Hermione in an unexpected way.

Summary
"I see that defiance, Granger. it’s commendable, but it’s not going to work.” Draco chuckled, a deep baritone behind the mask. “You see, I am not going to kill you. No, that would be far too easy. I could’ve done that ten minutes ago. Merlin, I could’ve done that when you were here three weeks ago. No, I won’t kill you. But, I will obliviate you. I will make such a mess of that brain of yours, you will only be left with enough understanding not to drool all over yourself."

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.
