Summary
The first time she walks into Maillard is an accident. Or kind of an accident, because technically, she had followed the smell of chocolate down Charing Cross Road on her way to the tube, which she only takes home on her half-days at the Ministry.
It makes sense that she had gotten so lost in her thoughts that her feet just happened to take her somewhere different. After all, there was nothing, and no one, waiting for her at home. She shakes her head at the maudlin, convoluted intellection, and her eyes widen as her brain trips over its thoughts.
Standing at a glass case filled with pastries, a familiar, spiky script on the labels of cookie jars behind him, is none other than Severus Snape.

Smelled Like Turpentine, Looked Like Indian Ink by Sheryl_Holmes

Summary
Those years ago, in Slughorn’s class, she had been told to smell the Amortentia like all the other students. And her embarrassment had been so intense that she had lied. “Freshly mown grass and new parchment,” she had said. This was patently false.
She had smelled nothing.
Embarrassment curdled into panic. When, in the history of Potions, had anyone smelled nothing from Amortentia? How was that even possible?
She sniffed and sniffed and sniffed, nearly hyperventilating, but still, nothing. In a fit of desperation, she yanked back her humid curls with her hands and bodily leaned over the fumes rising from the cauldron. Her face burned from the heat, and she could hear the laughter of Malfoy behind her, insisting loudly that “she must have realised this is the only way to smell the bloke she fancies because he’d never want a Mudblood like her.”
For the first time in her life, Hermione violently wished that Malfoy were right. At least then, she wouldn’t be defective.Series

Summary
If someone had told him a few years ago that he would consider Hermione Granger a colleague, and dare he say, a friend these days, he would refer them to the Janus Thickey ward post-haste. Returning to his life after she was turned into a creature of the night, will sharing very close quarters and only one bed finally make them face up to their attraction and reveal a hidden truth?

The quiet space between love and hate by msmerlin for Disenchantedglow

Summary
He was the exact same man she had met nearly twelve years ago.
Which is why it made no sense that it was he who graced her bed nearly every night. It was his touch she craved, and worse, it was he who made her heart flutter and her stomach swoop.
or the one in which Hermione finds herself inexplicably incapable of keeping Severus Snape out of her knickers.

Summary
Underground, it is common knowledge that anyone wishing to marry the Goblin King must be victorious in a challenge set by the Labyrinth itself.
No one expected the Labyrinth to choose its young human Champion as the challenge to be bested.
As for Sarah, she’s becoming increasingly concerned by how much she enjoys defeating Jareth’s would-be-spouses with a wide range of boardgames.
It should also be noted that Sarah is an unrepentant cheat.
So is Jareth.

Summary
The collection of stories known as the "apartment-verse". Where some years after the Labyrinth, and after college, Sarah Williams has a place and a job of her own. Oh and an old mirror. Which sometimes contains goblins. Which sometimes contains a *lot* of goblins. So alright, maybe Jareth is sometimes there too, and yeah they might have formed an unlikely friendship but that's it okay? Despite what he thinks, that is definitely, absolutely it.
Until it's not.
Originally titled the 'woo-ing of Sarah Williams' this series is written out of order, and updated completely at random. Pika-la-Cynique's girls next door dynamic inspired this series.

Summary
Sarah has an ear infection. In retrospect, Sarah should probably have taken the time to thoroughly dry off after being caught in a downpour. Being distracted by the unfairness of the world and having a good dramatic door slam & bed flop about it, only allowed other, deeper and less visible unfairness to seize its opportunity. She knew this from experience, but certain Goblin-related events of the evening drove the detail entirely out of her mind.
