    Summary

    Leon shuddered a breath out of his frozen lungs and asked numbly, “Why do you hate me?”

     

    There was a quiet more invasive than the deadly silence of the world beyond the walls protecting them and Leon hated himself for being so stupid— stupid fucking Kennedy saying shit he wasn’t supposed to say— fumbling for a way to cover up his fuck up, when Chris’s low voice broke the silence, saying, “I don’t hate you, Leon. I never have.”

     

    “Liar,” Leon accused softly into the darkness of their warm refuge. “You’re a f-fucking liar.”

    Summary

    Those who abolished the Statute of Secrecy in 1945 never intended the horrors that came afterwards.

    By 1998, Wizarding Britain—styled after a reborn Roman Empire with Imperator Voldemort at its helm—controls most of Europe. Resistance is brutally crushed, muggles are in chains, and muggleborns are martyred by dragon fire in front of screaming crowds.

    Hermione Granger is a domestic slave working in the Malfoy household, dreaming of a remade world, and hiding magic in her veins. Discovery means certain death. 

    Draco Malfoy, a tribune and spy for the Imperial Legion, carries the weight of painful secrets. For years, the only way to live with his dark reality has been to shut his eyes to it. 

    But she has a burning star inside her—the light of an entire sun

    And now he is caught between the denial which defines his survival, and the woman he cannot deny.

    Summary

    Draco and Hermione are back for Eighth Year. The war has filled them with heated fury, and they love to take it out on each other. Hissed taunts in the hallways, obscenities whispered between classes- it's the only thing that makes them feel alive.

    When Lucius alerts Draco of his impending betrothal to Astoria Greengrass, the vapid bore, he can’t stomach the idea of marrying her. In a moment of crazed desperation, Draco turns to Hermione for help, proposing a marriage of convenience.

    Their union of fiery rage will keep him entertained; and the political influence and endless Malfoy vaults will fuel Hermione’s ambitions far more than any Ministry career ever could.

    Infuriated by their surprise marriage, Lucius disinherits Draco, barring his access to Malfoy Industries and the family’s political connections, forcing Draco and Hermione to flee London.

    It's been two years since anyone has seen them, but now they’re back, and Wizarding Britain is abuzz, speculating on what brought about the return of the Malfoys.

    No one knows for sure why they came back, but one thing is clear: the former foes have become partners, united in vengeance, and in marriage.

    Summary

    'He hears him say “Do not tell a soul, Levi” and wants to laugh. Tell anyone? To what end? So that others have the images that Levi now has running through his head; of grabbing hands and harness marks, hard words and soft lips, of lies upon lies upon lies in a desperate attempt to get to the truth?'

    Levi begins to notice Erwin leaving HQ alone and not returning until the dead of night.

    Slow-burn, pre-show Eruri.
