Hermione Granger didn't really expect to live through the war, or at least she hadn't planned for what would come after. Now that it was over, she had to figure out how to move on and what to do next.
She decided to focus on a number of personal projects. Getting her NEWTs. Becoming an Animagus. Figuring out who she really was by doing whatever she wanted.
As part of her progress towards that last part, she let herself get distracted by Draco Malfoy and Theodore Nott, and ended up doing a lot of things she'd never done before.

Personal Projects is a Harry Potter fanfic that starts out as a slow burn developing relationship between Hermione, Draco, and Theo, but it will come to earn that Mature rating. There will be plenty of adult themes, including mental health (particularly related to trauma and identity), explicit smut, and some kink exploration. Because this story is set immediately following the war, there are themes of trauma, anxiety, violence (historical and present), and culture issues (e.g., prejudice and privilege) that come up repeatedly. Additionally, much of the smut involves voluntary/consensual violence, and kink themes related to multiple partners, dominance and submission, bondage, restraint, impact play, etc.
Please read with care, as some of these mental health or kink related topics could be intense or triggering. Take care of yourselves first!

Headcanon Premise: Harry and Draco were always in love or at least attracted to each other, even during (and partly because) of Draco's bullying. This story is canon-compliant and fits in with the books. Smut worth waiting for. Toxic love story with a happy ending.

This is a Harry/Draco romance set in the canon HP universe, covering all seven years of schooling as a series of Memory Vials. The plot is the love story and will go on through post-war, covering an 8th year of schooling. I'll be referencing the movies while I write, but it's recommended you read along with the original books to avoid loss of context, unless you read them already, which should suffice. As long as you know the books, you're prepared to read this fic.
Content Warnings and Possible Triggers: vulgar language, very strong sexual content, mature themes, substance use, homophobic bullying/harassment, conversion therapy, morally ambiguous situations, etc... full warnings enumerated on AO3. The toxicity of Harry's and Draco's relationship might upset some readers, but there's plenty of beauty throughout. I don't whitewash either of their flaws.
