Summary
The border crossing was a breeze. Elektra spoke French to the customs official, letting a tear come to her eye when stating the nature of their visit to Canada - a family funeral, on her side. Matthew handed over the passport she’d arranged for him, with its nice, innocuous travel history, hastily pulled off his sunglasses at the official’s request, and gave a friendly but tired smile when they were sent on their way - fittingly, since it was well after midnight.
Through the darkness, Elektra drove.
Matt, Elektra, and the world north of 116th Street.

Bookmarker's Notes
Rejoice in the Lord always. Easier said than done, Matt thought, but then again, weren't most things? Sometimes it felt like joy was a place he’d been banished from. Or, no - a place that had only existed in the past, in brief, flickering, snapshot moments, and when he’d been privileged enough to live there, he’d barely realized where he was.
And again, I say, rejoice.
If it was hard - so what? Since when had that been enough reason to give up? -

Summary
Five years after the Battle of Hogwarts, the wizarding world is what you might call “a godsdamned mess.” The population is dwindling, the economy is suffering, and Hermione Granger has decided to pursue an arranged marriage—but only so she can be nominated to the antiquated Wizengamot, of course. After all, the Wizengamot is ignoring the world’s problems, and Hermione is determined to fix them. Granted, she never expected to be matched with Draco sodding Malfoy—the newest DMLE consultant who wears his Azkaban tattoos as proudly as his childhood sneer. But admittedly, between the turbulence of her farcical relationship, corrupt politicians, and a serial killer on the loose, nothing in Hermione’s life is going according to plan. Maybe hate sex with her husband will help?

Summary
Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are cursed. Probably. Maybe.
All Hermione knows for certain is that he keeps sticking his pointy nose and other body parts where they aren't welcome: like into her dating life, and under her skin, literally.
Meanwhile, all Draco knows for certain is that in all his fantasies of getting into her knickers, he never imagined it happening like that.
A twist of fate, a statistical anomaly, or a sex curse: whatever the cause, there's (probably) just one solution.

(In which Hermione and Draco Apparate into one another, repeatedly.)

Summary
This is a story about life and of two people navigating the challenges that come along with it. Hermione and Draco are both broken souls, struggling with the aftermath of war. To their mutual displeasure, a chance encounter in the muggle world brings them together. Hermione forces Draco to unpack his bigotry, while Draco provides Hermione comfort when she has no one else to turn to. Ultimately, they both help each other pick up the pieces and heal.
In life, as in many things, timing is everything. As they stumble into adulthood, Hermione and Draco are forced apart as circumstances take them down different paths.
But fear not, dear reader. Inevitably, that tug, that pull, is too strong to ignore, and they find their way back to each other once more.

“Muggles have been to space, Granger.”
“Yes, they have,” she responds plainly.
A strange sense of urgency and a desperate need to laugh bubbles up from somewhere deep inside. It continues to build until he can no longer contain it. Draco dips his head, one hand rising to cover his chuckling mouth as his shoulders shake uncontrollably. He feels a touch manic. All the while, Granger just stands there, side-eyeing him.
He wants to scream at his father, that he’s spent the day at muggle museums. He wants to holler at his astronomy-obsessed mother, that muggles are resourceful and clever, and have actually been to the stars!
Draco flings his arms towards the module. “They’ve been to the bloody moon!” he exclaims with a strange mix of incredulity, anger and admiration. Draco is not himself at this moment, but he simply cannot control it. A cathartic out-of-body experience, perhaps. -

A shape moved in the fog—dark, twisted, almost human but not quite. Its wings loomed like shrouds, blacker than the night itself.
It stood there, still and silent, watching.
Barnaby’s breath caught, and a terrible realization gripped him: whatever was out there, it wasn’t part of their game. -

“He was quite lucky, really,” she added softly. “Do you know she killed five wizards, Draco? Five! If it wasn’t for her filthy, muggle blood, I might even say you chose wisely, making her your wife. Quite the bloodthirsty little mudblood whore you’ve grown attached to.”
He stared at her, fought to hide his shock. He knew he wasn’t succeeding.
Before he could fully process any of it, his aunt swept back to her feet. Clearly pleased with herself for delivering the news, she chuckled as she moved away.
“I guess she’s not as sweet and innocent as you told yourself, is she?” she mocked. “Now that she may have murdered her own father-in-law––?”
“Honestly, I’m mostly just impressed,” he said, and realized he meant it. -

Bookmarker's Notes
The next shrine he found had been abandoned, just like the one before. He found it tugged away in an alcove that belong to the crumbling ruins of an old elvhen fortress. Somehow, it had withstood the test of time despite the havoc that had been wreaked around it. Another thin sliver of hope. Even the eluvians that had been propped up in the old castle had been destroyed, shattered. Abelas reached for the statue and ran his fingers over the stone. That hum again. Not all was lost, then. Point me forward, he thought and listened. North, the faint voice of Mythal breathes. Go north.
And north he went. He went for days, weeks, maybe even months. After a while, he wasn’t certain anymore.

Summary
The war is over and Daenerys Targaryen sits on the Iron Throne. Brienne makes a bargain to save Jaime's life by convincing Daenerys to exile him to Tarth. A story of two people damaged by war and damaged by loss trying to piece themselves back together.
--
"Forgive me for the impertinence, but he looks at you as if you are the light at the end of a very long tunnel."
Brienne could feel it. That horrid creeping hope that made her limbs feel as if they were no longer connected to her body, the light-headed rush of want. Not want of his body or even want of touch, but the want of being loved, of being cherished, the want of someone to live her life with, of someone to see her and not turn away, but draw closer. She couldn't bring herself to respond, instead gripping the stone balcony in front of her.
"And you," the advisor took a breath, leaning next to her, "you look at him as if he is your respite in a storm."

Bookmarker's Notes
Draco visits her room frequently, and she subtly encourages him. Maybe it’s because hers is the better view; or he likes her cat, and the cat likes him; or his eyes don’t glaze over when she thinks aloud about atypical ordering in rune arrays; or she once showed him the seed of her belief in his and her and their potential, then watched him cry himself hoarse in the snow.

Summary
When Hermione is forced to spend a weekend at the Bulstrodes’ country estate glad-handing for the Ministry, she finds an unlikely ally in the only other house guest who hadn’t fled the country when the war broke out: Draco Malfoy.
"You feel it, don’t you?”
His fingernails dug into her wrist.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
She had the tip of her wand pressed into his jugular. His teeth flashed white.
“The war,” he said, not letting go, apparently unbothered by her ability to end his life with a tiny severing charm. “It’s not real to them.”- Language:

She could feel her pulse beneath his fingers, shatteringly real. There was something in his face she had never seen before, but she had the distinctly odd sensation that were she to look in a mirror at this moment, she would see the very same thing reflected back at her. -

She shrugs. "I like to be prepared."
"I don't think that's a life at all."
"What about you then? You don't wait for the fallout?"
He snorts, collecting the sugar bowl from the top of the fridge where he likes to hide it. "We're in the bloody fallout, Granger."
"So you're waiting for the buildup?"
"I'm waiting to wake up after the crash."It isn't just about the war, though. It's about the people. It's about Neville, Seamus, Fred, Justin, Mandy, the Pat-- It's about all of them. Because tombstones are never enough, and when there is no one in the world left to remember the people that they were, they are just grey markers in the distance of other lives. It is an almost impossible feeling, the one that takes over her then. The desperate, undeniable urge to leave a mark on the world. She does not want them to be forgotten. She does not want to be forgotten. Not in a thousand years, not in twenty.

“I never claimed to be noble, Granger. That’s for you Gryffindors. I am entirely motivated by self-preservation alone.”
Self-preservation alone. The words chilled her to the core. Only a few weeks ago, hadn’t she thought the very same thing? Her desire to live even pushed her to make a deal with her enemy, bugger the consequences. Hot shame washed over her. She raised her chin to hide it. “So what righteous plan do you have now that your beloved sociopath is winning this bloody war?”
“Clearly,” he replied, “We’ll have to do it ourselves.” -

Malfoy and his host of house-elves working on the house-elf liberation act XD
“Open it,” Malfoy said, and she knew this shrug meant that he had no regrets and he was doing her a favor and wasn’t it better that he pried into such things and saved her the heartache and him the drama of hearing her whine all day. That was how damn subtle his shrugs could get and how expert she was at reading them.

He quelled the grin that threatened to split his face, even as he noticed the smile that lingered on her lips as she raised her eyebrow at him. With her arms crossed, she leaned against the door jamb, legs stretching out to block him from entering.
“Hello git,” she said, her voice a soft contrast to the noise swelling behind her.
“Hello swot,” he answered, mirroring her stance and leaning against the opposite door jamb.The fluffiest, most heart-warming and giddy, sexy, adorable creature Dramione fics out there <3

For the longest time lunch had felt like a push, something she’d guilted him into, practically blackmailed him into with threats of outing him in the paper, or even hunting him down in the middle of whatever he got himself into if he couldn’t agree to a weekly lunch like civil acquaintances. Friends? No word really covered all of what they were to each other…or, at least, what he was to her. What she was to him, she could only guess at, especially now. And that was the problem, wasn’t it? She was tired of guessing. She wanted to know.
Karen hatches a plan to determine how Frank feels about her, once and for all - if they're only friends, or something more. Frank is a little slow on the uptake.

And now he’s trying to dress a little nice for (their date) her little math holiday (at a steak restaurant that nagging voice whispers) and he finds that he doesn’t want to show up looking like a dad who has no kids, a pall on what should be some kind of celebration. He doesn’t want to show up looking like a dad, period. Dads are…safe. Goofy. Uncool. Boring. Frank wants to be interesting, to Karen. She is fascinating to him. Even if it isn’t gonna mean anything, he wants to give it some effort. She deserves his effort. The warmth in his gut tells him he’s missed making an effort for somebody, that it feels good just to try, sometimes – to try to live your life instead of just plodding through it.

Bookmarker's Notes
It was easy to see Draco in winter. Dark and brooding, icy and cold. It was typical. It was expected.
But Draco in the light of the setting sun was otherworldly; it was an instantaneous shift from silver to gold, and it took her breath away as reflective grey eyes bore into hers. He was memorising the colour of them, the shape, the length of her lashes. They travelled over the pattern of freckles across her cheeks and nose, his pupils dilating almost imperceptibly as they flicked to her parted lips.Absolutely glorious.

Karen shivered at his words and Frank felt indestructible, pride flexing in his chest. He was an arrogant bastard, couldn’t argue that if he tried. He liked giving orders. He liked being obeyed. Having Karen in his hands, pliant, eager for his approval… it was too good to be true.
They were creatures in the shadows, Frank and Karen. Both loved the light, but knew they didn’t belong there. They had baggage. They had scars. It was one of the things that bound them together. Their shared darkness had become their safe space. But right now she didn’t feel like Karen Page Full of Sad Stories and Dark Secrets, and he didn’t feel like The Fucking Punisher. She was just some girl who had been desperate for her guy to finally make a move, and he was just some guy who couldn’t believe he got the girl.
