an ever-fixed mark by @ninepiecesofcrait Rating: E Pairing: Hermione x Draco Tags: Unspeakable Hermione Granger, Widower Draco Malfoy, Blood Magic, Hurt/Comfort, Forced Proximity Summary:

It was a comedy of errors how Hermione Granger ended up engaged to Draco Malfoy, really. A series of unfortunate events. // Malfoy looked at his bloodied hand and the ring on the cobblestone floor, and sighed. “Well, Granger.” Grey eyes finally raised to look at her. “Now look what you’ve done.” // [while working to break a curse in malfoy’s cellar, hermione accidentally touches an enchanted betrothal heirloom from the noble house of black. things rapidly fall apart from there.]

A The Little Prince-themed bind??? Hell, yeah! From the moment I started this wonderful fic, all I could think about was the impact The Little Prince had on the story, and I immediately knew exactly what to do. I picked up my own Brazilian edition of the book (O Pequeno Príncipe, translated), a really popular edition here that I bought when I was a teenager, and got to work. 👑

For this project, I redrew Scorpius as the Little Prince, with his mushrooms instead of flowers, his cute black dragon plushie, and his favorite book (inception moment here because I drew the exact edition I have, which also inspired the bind itself haha). 🍄

For each chapter, I added a different constellation (first and last chapters are son and father), since the story is mostly about Black family traditions and their magic. The stars were a natural choice when it comes to the Blacks, after all — and the dinkus represents Draco, Hermione, and Scorpius forming their own little constellation as they become a family.

At the end, I also added the NottPott spinoff, "a merry hour"!

I had so much fun making this bind, and I’m really happy with how it turned out! This lovely story warmed my heart, and it’s the thickest bind I’ve made so far!
