Summary
Briefly on hold as of 27th July. My outline, notes, and interviews file for this fic was corrupted. I am in the process of recreating it from memory. This fic is not abandoned!
October 1998. The war is over, but its wounds are not.
When Severus Snape follows an impulse he cannot quite name into the overgrown back garden of Grimmauld Place, he finds Hermione Granger; alone, scarred, and barely holding together. What begins as a cigarette shared in the dark becomes something neither of them planned for: a marriage of convenience, a shared set of rooms at Hogwarts, and the slow, careful work of two people learning to trust again.
Hermione is hiding an enormous secret. Severus is further along in his healing than he expected, and not as far as he thought. Hogwarts has opinions about both of them. And Fenrir Greyback has not forgotten what Bellatrix promised him.
A slow burn built on consent, therapy, breathing exercises, chocolate biscuits at 3am, and the radical act of asking before you touch someone.
I own nothing. Not the rights to the Harry Potter universe, not to the Cure songs, not to the Killers lyrics. I'm just playing with the world these artists created.

Summary
Six years after the fall of Voldemort, the Ministry of Magic introduce a new statute in an attempt to counter the falling birthrate. Unmarried witches and wizards are given six months to find a spouse, or one will be chosen for them.
Hermione’s happily settled into her life as a single witch: her work and her friends keep her busy enough. Arthur’s had six years to get used to being on his own, but when they’re matched by the new law, they’re going to have to overcome their differences and their previous relationship and learn to live with (and maybe even love?) each other.
Currently updating on Tuesdays, but hoping to squeeze in a bonus extra chapter in here and there.
