Summary
“Look,” she started impatiently. “I’m not sure what’s going on, but one minute I was in a vault at Gringotts and then I blinked and was here—”
“You died.”
“I—what?”
“Terribly dangerous profession, Cursebreaking,” Draco mused, turning to examine a large painting hung on the wall. “You would have been better off taking that analyst position in the DMLE, you know. Might have lived longer.”
“How do you know about that?” Hermione’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. She had rejected that position ages ago.
“You’d be surprised by how much I know about you.”
-OR-
An otherwise routine day of Cursebreaking takes a turn when Hermione finds herself trapped in a strange liminal space with an unexpected version of Draco Malfoy - and he's her only way out.

Summary
Hermione is not enjoying this holiday season. It’s her first Christmas post-divorce, her date to this holiday party sucks, and her thoughts can’t stop wandering to idle on Draco Malfoy. It's literally the longest night of the year. Things can't get worse after she gets stood up under enchanted mistletoe, but they can certainly get better.

“Thank you,” she finally managed to blurt out. “For the refill,” she clarified, jiggling her drink for added emphasis. Golden liquid sloshed precariously close to the rim.
“No problem.” Malfoy's voice was low and smooth. “You looked thirsty.”

Summary
The war ended. Hermione Granger’s did not...and the world moved on anyway.
Years later, Hermione is living at Espoir—a rehabilitation center built from the remains of Malfoy Manor, home to witches and wizards the system has deemed broken. She is one of them. Alive, altered, and surviving something the world never learned how to name. With her found family, she has found a sanctuary away from the prying eyes of the wizarding world.
She does not expect Draco Malfoy to become her anchor.
When the fragile magic keeping Hermione alive begins to fail, Draco offers the only thing powerful enough to save her: his name, his magic, and a marriage born of necessity. What follows is not rescue, but reclamation. Of choice, of voice, of self.
As the past resurfaces and Espoir is dragged into the public eye, Hermione is forced to confront a world still more comfortable protecting its heroes than believing its victims. The fight that follows is not clean, not simple, and not quiet—but Hermione Granger has never needed permission to endure.
Broken does not mean destroyed.
And survival, when chosen, can be a form of rebellion.

Summary
A new form of nervousness colours Draco’s cheeks when they reach her front door. He rubs the back of his neck. “How about I tell you my actual favourite riddle over dinner on Friday?”
Hermione’s lips part. “Are you asking—”
“You on a date? Yes. Yes, I am.”

Summary
Earlier tears had left her eyelids heavy and soft. They fluttered twice before opening onto his face.
She said, “Will you tell me why you’ve been living in this tiny Spanish village? You can count on me never to share.”
His lungs filled with earth-scented air. “Chasing fairer weather.”
He wondered what she saw that made her smile like that.

In which Draco wasn’t running, but Hermione found him anyway.
