Summary
Hermione wakes up on the morning of her sixteenth birthday and has a somewhat fiery reaction to her breakfast. Professor Snape shows up to inform her that she is adopted and she is descended from a bloodline that has draconic traits.
Unable to hide her newfound identity from her friends, Harry and Ron turn on her and the only person who accepts her is Luna (and Professor Snape, but he has a vested interest in her for supplying rare potions ingredients).

Summary
Hermione uses studying as therapy, ineffectually. An unexpected person is there to push her out of her comfort zone, ironically causing her to find someone who appreciates her for exactly who she is and where she will always be safe from unnecessary judgement.

Summary
Cristine is a struggling university student who works at Starbucks to support herself in her Forensic Science degree. Every day a disgruntled accounting student comes in and orders a latte, which grinds her gears, since tea runs through her veins instead of blood. She makes it anyway, always with a not-so-subtle design hinting at the amazing tea blends she's capable of brewing shaped in the froth atop the disgusting mess that is anything crafted from coffee beans when there are a plethora of tea blends to get one's daily caffeine fix from. They've never exchanged words, but that's about to change forever. In Canadia, at birth, everyone is born with the first words their soulmate will ever say to them imprinted on their inner wrist. Most of the time, this isn't nearly as helpful as it sounds. Cristine's unique phrase should have assisted her a great deal in identifying her soul mate, but she couldn't have been more wrong.

Summary
Severus Snape has never been happier.
His small cottage in an ancient forest provides the perfect refuge from pesky people. Sure, he has to deal with leftover Death Eaters poaching rare animals, and the crow that won’t stop making snide remarks, but other than that, life ten years after the war is perfectly tolerable.
Until one unfortunate spring morning, when the unstable magic that’s been simmering under his skin unleashes itself.
What’s even worse is that the Ministry has finally sent someone to confirm his many complaints about poachers, and that someone is none other than Hermione Granger.
Who has just become a witness to something Severus would very much like to keep quiet.
OR
Snape as a cottagecore shadow daddy.

Summary
Hermione Granger is trapped in Grimmauld Place, under house arrest, with three men who should be dead. Their close quarters and isolation from the outside world quickly prove problematic when Sirius Black’s fixation on her spirals out of control. Remus Lupin is too weighed down by his own guilt to notice, which leaves Severus Snape to once again take on the role of protector. They could hardly have thought of anything that would infuriate Sirius more if they’d tried.

Summary
In the tense atmosphere of Hogwarts during Hermione’s sixth year, the Ministry passes a controversial Marriage Preservation Act designed to secure political alliances and maintain control as Voldemort’s influence grows. To both their horror, Hermione Granger and the newly appointed Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, Severus Snape, are declared a magically sanctioned match.
Forced into an engagement neither wants, Hermione finds herself navigating the sharp edges of Snape’s bitterness, secrecy, and dangerous position at Voldemort’s side. Snape, meanwhile, views the arrangement as yet another chain placed upon him by a world that only ever demands sacrifice.
