Cassiel's Lament

After her ordeal with Antonin Dolohov Hermione is struggling to keep her head above water. She's adrift in memories of her year on the run, the months she spent as a Death Eater's unwilling prize, and betrayals and losses from the war. When it all becomes to much she finds a cruel comfort in Lucius Malfoy.

He's a pariah in Wizarding society, abandoned by his family, struggling with his own changing beliefs.

And along the edges of this unlikely alliance Dolohov still lurks.

Notes:
Welcome to the sequel to Azael's Chains! I've had some things going on and been unable to write much lately, but finally started again.

This will be a story about dealing with PTSD in perhaps not the most healthy of ways considering the history and situation. As someone who has PTSD and participates in BDSM, I am going to try and portray the nuances.

Neither Malfoy is a good guy necessarily; Draco is grey at best and somewhat of a coward, but he's trying. Lucius Malfoy is just seething quietly in his manor.

ANYWAY, I only have two chapters so far and the first is quite short as I'm just starting to get into it. No promises on comment responses, but know that I read and adore every one of them.
