Mind shattered, Hermione Granger languishes in the depths of Malfoy Manor, a forgotten prisoner of Voldemort. When reluctant Death Eater Draco Malfoy takes pity on her and gives her a collection of books, she finds unlikely assistance within their pages. What follows changes the course of the war and Hermione and Draco's lives in fundamental and irreparable ways.

Draco, Hermione and a resurrected Tom Riddle plumb the depths of their humanity as they face the challenge of Voldemort and the consequences of their choices. Or the story in which I ask, is Tom Riddle inherently evil or is he a product of his circumstances?

Complete now! Read if you dare:

In which Tom Riddle is not quite a ghost, Hermione Granger just wants to live past midnight and things most definitely do go bump in the night.

I’m posting a Halloween themed Tom Riddle/Hermione Granger shorty story on both ff.net and AO3. I’m super excited to share my first themed short story since 2015:

In which Tom Riddle is not quite a ghost, Hermione Granger just wants to live past midnight and things most definitely do go bump in the night.

A mix of dark fairy tale, gothic horror and psychological thriller. When Hermione meets an alluring stranger at the All Hallows Eve Ball, she has no idea how much her life will transform in a matter of hours. Hours that may just be her last.

Where the Broken Ends Meet (Dramione, Tomione, M, AO3) by The Corrosive Pen

Complete! This is a hardcore Dramione story, but there are very serious elements of Tomione throughout. Reviews have used the words “phenomenal,” “beautiful,” “incredible” and “masterpiece.” I have no idea if anyone else would agree, but that sounds like the sort of thing you put on a book jacket, which is kind of what this is...

Official summary: 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.

At its heart this is Dramione, but it's a hell of a slow burn.

Sequel to Walk the Line (highly recommend reading that first, see Profile)

In which survival means sacrifice, every moment matters and Hermione and Draco are confronted with mortality at every turn.

“I told you before, Hermione. This is my choice now.” She knew that. She knew he was making his own decisions, but Merlin she wished he’d chosen to run away. Her voice was barely audible as she stared back at him, pulse racing frantically. “I know. I hate it, but I know.” His cool skin lingered a moment longer against hers before he pulled away, silver eyes hardening. “I need you to promise me you can do this. That you won’t try to save me again.”

The fight against the Dark Lord begins in earnest.

Hermione discovers how infinite the rabbit hole can be. A dark look into pleasure and addiction.

“See something you like, Mudblood?”

She hardly heard the insult over the pounding in her temples. She could not possibly be standing here salivating over Draco bloody Malfoy. But she was; she was staring at him in a way that made the floor fall out from under her, in a way that made everything backwards and upside down.

In which Draco isn't good, Hermione isn't smart and everything has consequences.

“Merlin.” He shook his head, breaking their stare. When he looked back up, his eyes were ice, no sign of humor or humanity left. “I hope you enjoyed that, Mudblood. It’s never going to happen again.”

Hermione’s mouth opened and shut, words failing her. She was still reeling from the riot of desire coursing through her. How could he possibly be so composed now? How could the boy who made her feel like this look at her like that?

Clarke's an Ice Princess, Bellamy's a janitor, the US Figure Skating National Championships are looming and everyone's working through something.

Her eyes narrowed. “Who the hell are you anyway?”

“Just doing my job, Princess,” he growled, turning away from her. He didn’t have the energy for this bullshit.

Her hand clamped down on his shoulder, forcing him to face her again. Her face was determined, her brow creasing as she stared him down. “No. Who are you? I know everyone here and I’ve never seen you before.”

“What?” he groused. “You own the place or something?”

Clarke leaves the island to prevent Jasper's rebellion against salvation, but her path is not so clear.

“Jasper is determined to party until the end of the world.” “Ah.”

What is the price of salvation and is it truly worth it? Bellamy and Clarke must decide for themselves.
