And If I Had To Choose — A Gift for vendettadays | ao3 Hermione Granger/Pansy Parkinson Summary: “But what if I don’t want a soulmate?” Hermione had asked at nine years old. “What if I don’t like who the universe picks for me?” Her mother had run a gentle hand through Hermione’s frizzy curls. “It’s only a suggestion,” her mother had said. “It’s not binding. Plenty of people never find, or never end up, with their soulmates. What you do with the information is up to you.” “Good,” Hermione said. “I want to make my own decision.” -- In a world where soulmates are discovered via a type of internal explosion, Hermione is bound and determined to have nothing to do with hers for as long as she possibly can. fic | 3744 | m to new beginnings and beautiful curls — A gift for webofdreams89 | ao3 Hermione Granger/Lavender Brown Summary: Hermione builds up the courage to speak to Lavender. fic | 1190 | g Lady — A gift for fantasyborn | ao3 Astoria Greengrass/Narcissa Malfoy Summary: Astoria… She had no idea what she was getting into. She had no idea what it meant to become Lady Malfoy, and for a brief moment, only a couple of seconds, Narcissa felt a burning desire within her to tell her the truth, to warn her about all these things nobody had warned her about those many years ago. fic | 1172 | t After a day, a month, and a year (you still fill my days) — A gift for space_mermaid | ao3 Hermione Granger/Pansy Parkinson Summary: Two years was not long enough for Pansy to forget Hermione. fic | 5000~ | e Devil in a Green Dress — A gift for maraudersaffair | ao3 Hermione Granger/Bellatrix Black Summary: Bellatrix is just inside the doorway, all sharp edged femme—long legs, dangerously tall heels, and black curls draped over devastating, sanity ruining, bare collarbones. The dress is a deep emerald—because of course it is—clinging tight till the skirt flares out, a somewhat daring off the shoulder neckline. She couldn’t look the part of the mysterious, beautiful, unspeakably dangerous client more if she'd been leaning on Hermione’s desk, smoking, wearing a hat with a black veil just over her eyes. “What—” Hermione shakes her head to try to clear it. “What are you doing here Black?” “Well Granger,” she leans back against the inside of the doorway. “I think someone is trying to kill me.” 💜 Hermione is happy, or at least largely content, in her job as Wizarding Britain's Premier (read: only) PI. But now a “redeemed” Bellatrix Black is in her office, saying someone's out to kill her. It's fine. She can stay professional, even if it is the witch who tortured her. It's not like it's her first case, she knows what she's doing. She'll just keep her distance, figure out what's going on, and collect the (hopefully) huge payday. She'll manage. At a minimum, she's had worse plans. fic | 27808 | m Drops that visit my heart — A gift for ayebydan | ao3 Minerva McGonagall/Poppy Pomfrey Summary: Poppy and Minerva discuss how to handle Snape's leadership while trying to comfort each other. fic | 1757 | e Heart-Shaped Kiss — A gift for lumosatnight | ao3 Hermione Granger/Pansy Parkinson Summary: The first time Hermione and Pansy shared a kiss they were in the Hogwarts library. fic | 1700 | t give me the palm of your hand — A gift for flipflop_diva | ao3 Hermione Granger/Lavender Brown Summary: "I like kissing too.

Ginny is their best customer. (Two completely unrelated events, of course) fic | 6327 | m is that sappho you're reading — A gift for evening12 | ao3 Hermione Granger/Padma Patil Summary: They lived their life the way it suited them. Always a bowl of cut fruit in the cooling cupboard, always the Wireless set to a mix of news and music. Always kisses, always cuddling, always reading aloud in the evenings and waking up with the sun. Always almond oil and a massage, coconut oil and braids. Always love. art | digital | m Stay — A gift for bluefay | ao3 Hermione Granger/Pansy Parkinson Summary: When Minerva said that Pansy Parkinson was to be the new Arithmancy professor at Hogwarts, Hermione thought she was joking. Then she remembered, Minerva McGonagall never joked.

Tag-along Fleur helps Hermione find herself along the way. fic | 1358 | e It's Probably Nothing — A gift for Robyn_Iwanagi | ao3 Ginny Weaslet/Hermione Granger Summary: Hermione pinches the bridge of her nose and lets out a long sigh, her patience wearing thin. “Ginny, I don't know—” “It’ll be easy,” Ginny reassures her, eyes bright as she places both hands on Hermione’s shoulders. “We’ll go on a few fake dates and pretend we’re in love to show Mum that I can find someone. Nothing to it.” Or, five times they pretend to be girlfriends and one time they don't.
