    Summary

    Hermione strikes a deal with Lucius Malfoy, but both get more than they bargained for. Hermione learns that her intentions are not as noble as she initially thought. Lucius learns that Hermione is not to be underestimated; beneath her Head Girl facade is a witch as ruthless as he is. What follows are hard lessons for both regarding trust, power, selfishness, redemption, and sacrifice.

    "You do like that, don't you?" Lucius said, his voice low, seductive. "It's almost as if you want to enjoy this. But that would be unthinkable, wouldn't it?"

    F**K! Holy s**t! What a beautiful mind f**k. That's how much I enjoyed this fic. I've lost my eloquence; I'm reduced to profanity. The plot was intricate, creative, and gorgeous. Hermione and Lucius were both dark af but also redeemed. Emotions sprang from the prose and swallowed me whole.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    An epic love story. Even though it's a time travel fic, the plot is creatively original—a clever approach to this ship.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    A gripping twist on the usual power imbalance and consent dynamics within this ship. A plot that thrives through a fantastically sentient Malfoy Manor. A sexy romance. The ending was abrupt, but HEA.
