Things Without Remedy by onebedtorulethemall [E, 156k, 2023] It’s been twelve years since the war ended. Ten years since Draco Malfoy was forced from the depths of his depression by a mother and friends who refused to let him die in peace. Six years since he became an Auror for all the wrong reasons. And for the next month, he's been assigned to protect Hermione Granger as she completes her latest invention: a new type of time travel. You can’t change what happened, she told him. There could be catastrophic effects, cascading like ripples in a pond. So when they find themselves at the centre of a dark conspiracy that leaves them trapped in a past he’s been running from his whole life, they need to find a way home without unravelling their future.

Where the Broken Ends Meet by TheCorrosivePen [M, 103k, 2020]

In which Tom Riddle is a charming, manipulative mastermind, Draco Malfoy's hands are soaked in blood and Hermione Granger can't remember a life beyond suffering. Or the Time Turner fix-it attempt that goes horribly awry. With all hope lost, Hermione turns to desperate measures to rid the world of Voldemort and his crimes, but she doesn't count on a Death Eater hitching a ride to the past or her target being quite so alluring.

Past/Present/Future by neilistic [E, 154k, 2024]

After a very bad week in which Crookshanks died and Ron left her via four words on a scrap of parchment, 30-year-old Hermione is forced to take a week's holiday from her job. Unfortunately, it becomes clear her work was the last thing keeping her sane. When she finds out Harry is investigating the unexplained disappearance of Draco Malfoy, now an Unspeakable in the Department of Mysteries, she finally has a problem to solve. The case sucks her in in more ways than one, and she finds herself tangling with a very powerful magical object, as well as Draco's weird and wonderful subconscious. tl;dr Hermione gathers extensive material for an inevitable 'Am I the Asshole?' post

Once More with Feeling by Kyonomiko [M, 65k, 2018]

Sometimes taking a second look can give you a new perspective. Hermione has difficulty analyzing people once she's made up her mind, but, circumstances as they are, she might not have a choice but to try again.

Every Death Eater is allowed to make one final request before their execution. Draco Malfoy asks to see Hermione Granger. And somewhere, a butterfly flaps its wings.

Reset by provocative_envy [M, 4.5k, 2016]

And the fear—the fear that he’s learned to swallow, choke on, bury the crushed and fragmented shards of—it's turning the space between him and her and the last six weeks, the last six months, into a gaping yawning brutally invincible chasm; a wall to scale and a cliff to jump and a step he’s never quite been brave enough to take. She takes it for him. Of course she does.

The Troublesome Thing About Time by LadyKenz347 [M, 40k, 2020]

Hermione was sick of adventure. She'd had her fair share, and taking a seat at the desk in the back of the DLME was all she could have dreamed of -- until it wasn't. One day Hermione is summoned to the bowels of the Ministry where she is met by the lead Unspeakable who has a rather odd situation that needs to be dealt with. Draco Malfoy has just arrived from twenty years in the future and insists on speaking to his wife, Hermione Granger. The only problem is that the Draco Malfoy she knows is still the snarky, button-pushing boy upstairs--and not the man in front of her now.

An Order mission gone terribly, terribly wrong leaves Draco dead and Hermione trapped in a time loop, doomed to relive it. Can she save his life, or is fate a force too strong to fight?

Chronos Historia by in_dreams [M, 98k, 2018]

Hermione and Draco stumble upon a mysterious portal and find themselves hurtled back through time a thousand years. Forced to team up to find a way home, they quickly realize that much of the history they believed to be fact, wasn't true after all. A founders era, time travel Dramione.

Love and Other Historical Accidents by PacificRimbaud [M, 154k, 2021]

Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy never intended to blow up their life's work, but that's rather what they've gone and done. Now they're trapped 200 years in the past, with a broken Time Turner, a missing snuff box, a handful of overly-eligible daughters, and a House-elf in a cable knit cardigan. It will require the combined power of their keen intellects to get them home, if they'd stop arguing long enough to use them. As it turns out, history is just one damned accident after another.

now i hang from your lips (like the gardens of babylon) by cosmic_kate [M, 2.5k, 2024]

Far in the east, deep in the desert, a king once erected a vast garden of greenery for his beloved queen. She was homesick, longing for some time or place far, far away, with rolling green hills and wet, humid summers. Later, much, much later, historians would say it couldn’t be real. That it couldn’t be more than a myth, or poetry. The architecture was too advanced for the time. The irrigation systems were state of the art. And the beauty of it—exquisite, the poets said—was far too good to be true. Hermione knows better. She knows the hanging gardens of Babylon very well did exist. She knows this because she knows magic. She knows this because she was there.

Ash by artemisgirl [M, 2.8k, 2019]

The world repeats, the Final Battle replaying itself out in front of Draco's eyes each day, ending in a cloud of ash and fire. No one else seems to realize it, that they're trapped. It's only when Draco realizes that Hermione's aware of the time loop too that he begins to understand what's happening, where he is, and exactly what it means.

How Soon is Tomorrow? by eevilalice [T, 5k, 2013]

iIt's the day before winter hols, and Draco can't wait. Except he's going to have to because the day won't end unless he saves Hermione Granger. A lot.
