Draco Malfoy wasn't as untouchable as she had once thought him to be. In this moment, he looked scared and nervous and Amicia thought it was absolutely wonderful. It served as a reminder to her that he was only human, capable of feeling fear, insecurity, and possibly even remorse. It reignited a hope for him that she previously extinguished and now she had a choice before her, to either smother the flame or to nurture it.

His Rival's Sister
For everyone who knew Draco Malfoy deserved more than scars and sarcasm-this one's for you. "Do you like making me insane? Touching him like that in front of me?" "Why should it matter if you don't want me?" Forget everything you thought you knew about Hogwarts... because this time, Harry's not the only Potter in town. Meet his twin sister-sharp tongue, clever mind, and absolutely done with living in her brother's oversized shadow. While Harry is busy being the Chosen One, she's busy making her own choices... including catching the attention of a certain Slytherin prince. Yeah, that's right. Draco Malfoy. Arrogant. Infuriating. Ridiculously good-looking (and he knows it). This isn't just about magic, it's about rewriting fates. Because maybe Draco Malfoy deserves a better ending... and maybe the Potter twin was always meant to shake things up.Complete
Inferno | Draco Malfoy
From the moment Lady Prideful crosses paths with Mr Arrogant, sparks don't fly, they detonate. To each other, they are utterly insufferable, waging a war of verbal blows, vicious hexes, and petty sabotage, where surrender would mean total humiliation. But hatred is supposed to feel cold, not dangerously hot. It isn't meant to burn beneath the skin like a fever that won't break, or leave hearts racing long after the argument ends. So when all is said and done and there's nothing left to fight but their feelings, what then? Well, Adria Harlow has always had a taste for fire, and she knows exactly how to fan Draco Malfoy's temper, igniting an Inferno. Word Count: 455kComplete
Scarred but still yours
It's easy to think that the greatest battles are fought on the front lines, in dark alleys or behind closed doors. But for Hermione Granger, the most painful war was one she fought in the silence, on her own. Her marriage to Ron Weasley, once a symbol of hope belonging, had deteriorated into something unrecognisable. Behind the warmth of the Burrow, there were shadows-violent, destructive, and suffocating. But some battles, she would learn, were beyond her ability to win alone. When the chance to escape came, she took it. With nothing but her courage and a few belongings, she fled the life that had once promised so much, seeking solace in the place where her heart had always found peace: Hogwarts. But even within the walls of her beloved school, the scars of her past could not be erased. Not until she found herself working alongside an unexpected ally-Draco Malfoy. The boy who had once stood as her enemy, the one who had tormented her and her friends, now offered her a different kind of support. As time passed, the distance between them began to close, their shared history no longer a wall, but a foundation. They find something in each other they never expected to find again-safety, understanding, and love. But just as they begin to rebuild what had been lost, a shadow from Hermione's past returns to haunt her. Ron, desperate and enraged, comes to Hogwarts-his anger consuming him. He attacks Hermione with the same violence she had escaped from, and in that moment, Draco becomes her protector. This is their story-one of rediscovery, of healing, and of love rekindled against all odds. Together, they will rise from the ashes of their broken pasts and embrace the future both of them have always craved. ****Please note, this fic includes graphic descriptions of traumatic events including all aspects of physical abuse****Complete
The Girl Who Lived (Draco Malfoy x OC)
"Must be tough, everyone loves you, don't they? So goddamn perfect. They don't see it but I do, Potter. I can see straight through you." "And what do you see, Malfoy?" "That you're a mess, aren't you?" She stared at him, rivalling his own expressionless mask. "You're the first person to say that to me." "Well of course," he swung a leg, pacing around her lazily. "Everyone is too busy seeing the hero, but when you hate someone enough, you see their flaws, their weaknesses." Her mask fell and she smiled to herself. "So you hate me?" She said, playfully. "Of course, isn't that what we do, hate each other?" The smile grew enough for dimples to appear. "I guess so." "So yes, I hate you." "I hate you too," she smiled. Draco couldn't help it, his lips tugged slightly at the corners while laughter stayed restrained in his glimmering eyes. "Good, I'm glad that's established," Draco announced. "We hate each other." --------------------------- A miserable childhood of neglect, Harper Potter needed someone to teach her the ability to love in order to overcome the darkest wizard of all time. She just wasn't expecting that someone to be the guy who taunted her every quidditch match. Featuring. Female Harry x DracoComplete
The Internal Devices
"You're a good friend, Hermione." She narrowed her eyes at him. "So we're on a first-name basis now?" He shrugged. "I feel it's only fair after spending every moment of our free time in a lab together. Also," he scratched at his chin in thought, "I'm pretty sure you're dating my best mate."

Ruin Me Gently - Draco Malfoy
I know you are here for the SMUT. He said he didn't care. She said she hated him. So why can't they stop? Y/N never planned to fall into Draco Malfoy's bed-or into his twisted world of secrets, power plays, and unspoken desires. What started as a reckless game of dominance and surrender spirals into something far more dangerous: obsession. They don't talk about feelings. They barely talk at all. But each encounter leaves marks-on skin, on hearts, on everything they try to bury. Between cold silences and scorching nights, neither of them dares to say what they really want. Or admit how deeply they've already fallen. But desire is a dangerous thing. And love, even more so. Slow burn. Fast lust. Sharp tongues. Soft hearts. And a love that could ruin them both. This is not a love story. It's a story about what's left when love is too afraid to say its name.Complete
