Summary
The true Time-Turner was slammed savagely into Hermione's throat. It shattered against her neck, bits of glass and gold piercing into her skin. The last thing she saw before blackness consumed her was a plume of metallic dust and vitreous fragments, tiny prisms dancing behind her eyelids.
(In which Hermione accidentally ends up in 1950, pitted against an ascending Dark Lord in his prime, caught in the entanglement of pureblood politics, dark magic, and Tom Riddle's interest)

Summary
The war ended and the summer is over – Hermione is returning to Hogwarts to finish her education, Ron is going to auror training, Professor Snape is resuming his duties as Head of Slytherin and Potions Master. On the surface everything seems perfect.
However, after a turbulent summer, Hermione is less and less certain that Ron's the one for her.
Ron, however, just knows what their relationship needs. And when he decides to give it a gentle little push in the right direction, it turns all their lives upside down.
Initial Ron/Hermione, but this is a Severus/Hermione story though and through. It’s a fast paced, short series (that started out as a one shot in my head) with (I hope) an interesting but simple plot and quite a bit of explicit smut.
Note: I think Ron and Hermione aren’t a good match for each other, and while I think Ron is a dingus in cannon, I don’t think he would do something this stupid. However, Ron-bashing is my guilty pleasure, and in this story, he has no redeemable qualities. You've been warned.Disclaimer: A student/teacher relationship in real life is never acceptable. This is a fiction in no way endorses such behaviour. Read at your own discretion.

Summary
Three years after the final battle, Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts as an Arithmancy apprentice. Lonely and still recovering from the war, she is ready to begin building her new life - but will she let a surprising connection completely change the course of her future?
****** ****** ******
Her wild halo of curls always seemed to be disappearing around the corner as he walked the stone corridors of the castle, trailing a lavender and mint fragrance that seemed to cling to his robes and burrow into his brain. He avoided the library, once a favorite refuge, and took to owl-ordering any books he didn’t already own, because she was sure to be set up at whichever table was nearest the aisle he needed. She would have piles of books spread across the entirety of the surface of the table, stacks of them on the chairs, her fingers smudged with ink, her brow furrowed and her bottom lip pinned between her teeth. She would not look up if he walked by.

A modern young woman from Westeros, Sansa Tully, loves history and is especially intrigued by the past of her family. During a long-anticipated visit to the famous historical Red Keep she is shocked to find herself hurled into the past as a prisoner of the royal court.

Summary
Viserys always let himself be led. And when having Dreams, it was a simple matter of following them as well. Dreams foretold the Doom. Dreams showed him a son. Dreams warned him of the dangers his daughter faced.
But he was not the only one to have them. The difference is that Rhaenyra understood the Dreams for the warnings they were.
As King Viserys debated with himself to name Aegon II, the first son with his second wife, as his heir, he believed that he was saving his daughter. As Rhaenyra watched, she knew it was the realm that would pay the price.

Coming Undone by rummy_cat

Summary
Tywin Lannister has ruled as king since the fall of the Targaryen dynasty, earning the respect of the people even if not their love. He's quashed an Ironborn rebellion and, more recently, an attempt to install a supposed Targaryen prince.
Sansa Stark's father chose the wrong side in the latter, believing there was more honor in restoring the house that had forged the iron throne than in supporting the man who claimed the throne through trickery, betrayal, and butchery. It cost the Starks everything, and now Sansa - all that is left of an eight-thousand year old line - has been handed over to the Crown by the same man who betrayed her family.
It would seem that the Crown's new ward has every intention of keeping her head down, but Tywin Lannister is a suspicious man by nature. What starts as observation becomes an obsession he can neither understand nor shake.

Summary
Sansa escapes King's Landing during the bread riots but ends up captured and brought to Harrenhal where she is reunited with Arya. She catches the eye of first Ser Gregor then Lord Lannister. This sets off a series of events that will reshape the realm, with ripples reaching the far north of Westeros and far south of Essos.
Tywin/Sansa is the focus for much of the early chapters. Additional POVs and plotlines come in later, but Sansa and/or Tywin will remain central characters throughout, their relationship a constant driving force.
This fic could easily be called: The Trials and Tribulations of Sansa Stark. It could also be called: The Trials and Tribulations of Everyone in Planetos, but since Sansa is the main character...

Summary
Hermione Granger and her best friends are spending their last summer holiday at Grimmauld Place, and beg for the Order for something useful to do. When they are presented with a list of chores, no one wants to help Professor Snape with brewing. Hermione draws the short straw and ends up being Snape's lab assistant. The collaboration of the two of them sets unexpected events into motion that will eventually change the wizarding world.
Hermione's POV.
The story focuses on the slowly growing relationship between Severus Snape and Hermione Granger, and follows them to her last year at Hogwarts. It is mixed with the adventure of horcrux hunting. While the relationship blossoms while they are still a student and teacher, Hermione is of age by the time anything happens between them (actually 19 because of the time she aged using a time turner).
If you do not like the pairing, please do not read.
Disclaimer: A student/teacher relationship in real life is never acceptable, there are absolutely no excuses to make it ok. This is a fiction made for light leisure reading, and in no way endorses such behaviour. Read at your own discretion.
