Every Me, Every You
The war has ended. The world returned to normal. Then they had to live in it. Five years after the war, Hermione Granger wears her survival like a badge and a bruise-polished, professional, and slowly vanishing beneath the weight of expectations. Marriage, career, public image: she plays the part. Even if it means losing the girl who once burned for justice. Draco Malfoy didn't ask for redemption, he only wanted to fade into obscurity. Become the man everyone expected of him and forget the rest. When Hermione walks back into his world, she isn't the girl he remembers. And he's no one's villain anymore. What begins as a reckless mistake turns into something messier-full of jagged wounds, softened edges, and the parts they swore they'd bury. This is a slow-burn, character-driven exploration of trauma, power, and what it means to want something real in the aftermath of survival. Dramione, but raw and human. Eventual HEA.Complete

But with only two weeks until they are legally required to consummate, it would be irresponsible not to prepare for every contingency. - NOT MY STORY!! WRITTEN BY morriganmercy on ao3Complete
His Girl by greenflowerpot
Draco is gifted a muggleborn girl - Hermione - for his sixth birthday. He adores her and they are soon inseparable. But life is changing fast, and Draco's future holds power and responsibility that he will have to reckon with. -- "There she is, darling. Go say hello." Narcissa nudged Draco gently. He tried to duck behind her skirts but she tutted and swept him forward to greet the little girl standing across the room. Draco's first thought was that the girl was very pretty. He didn't want to stare or be weird, so he chanced glances at her out of the corner of his eye. She looked to be about his age or maybe a little younger, with dark, loosely curly hair and big serious eyes rimmed with wet-looking lashes. Her cheeks were pink like someone had just scrubbed her clean, and she was wearing a little blue dress with neat white lace on the sleeves and collar. "This is Hermione," his mother said. "We got her just for you. She's going to be your new friend." ‼️‼️‼️NOT MY STORY ITS BY GREENFLOWERPOT ON AO3Complete
The Right Thing To Do
