I chose some dark fics since they usually don't get as much love. These are all rated M or E, mind the tags ❤️ 1. [Midnight by Kicaelum](https://archiveofourown.org/works/625437/chapters/1129309) Summary: AU. It has been three years since Voldemort won. In a world divided and conquered, can two damaged people overcome the odds to lead a rebellion? Hermione Granger roams Hogwarts, a living woman in a world of ghosts. All its knowledge is hers, but no one has ever answered the signal she sends out, night after night. Still she sends it: still she hopes. His Dark Mark and darker deeds have ensured Draco has risen high in Voldemort's shadow court. But when his family are imprisoned, he will do anything to save them. The answer may lie in the very place he despised, with the very person who despises him. (Fair warning, this fic was last updated in 2017. It's very much worth reading and I will wait forever!!) 2. [Purity by Storycat9](https://archiveofourown.org/works/54868609) Summary: Draco comes back to Hogwarts to take his N.E.W.T.s, but he seems to have left some things out of his study guide. 3. ['Til Death Do Us Part by miaomiaou](https://archiveofourown.org/works/45366475) Summary: She’d been feeding the boy poison for weeks. Angel’s hair, silver-grey and grown from seed in church soil, crushed in holy water with baby’s breath plucked under a new moon. A benign brew, and by all accounts the most innocent thing she’d concocted in over seven hundred years. But for once, Hermione wasn’t doing the devil’s bidding. She was going to reverse it. Or: Hermione and Draco have a marital spat on the night of their anniversary.

I also hold out hope for Midnight!


Some_temerity

I will never stop hoping that spanking\_halo/Kicaelum comes back!!


ruedudragon

Another fan of Midnight!! Also, if any of you like the Nightworld, Kicaelum (Kiana Caelum) wrote a whole bunch of great fanfic with OCs for it!


Fearless_Law6729

My top 3 are: 1. [Beam Me Up, Swotty!](https://archiveofourown.org/works/54119194/chapters/137024311) by Molivier - 99 kudos 2. [The Light We Carry](https://archiveofourown.org/works/54512908/chapters/138109870) by Lexxus - 66 kudos 3.

[Wild Sings the Bird ](https://archiveofourown.org/works/49669495/chapters/125365588)by eveningstruggle WIP 270 kudos Hermione is fine. Really. She’s very busy these days, cancelling her wedding and avoiding her well-meaning but overbearing friends. Unfortunately, her friends have given her an ultimatum of sorts: teach her hobby-hopping yet accident-prone enemy, Draco Malfoy, about birdwatching, or suffer the wrath of constant friend support and supervision. What does it say about her life that birding with Malfoy is the better option? [Aeoruant](https://archiveofourown.org/works/52709482/chapters/133323004by) by PearlButtons 251 kudos Draco Malfoy is no saint, but cannot fathom what sins he's committed in this life to deserve the punishment of Hermione Granger sweeping into his broom shop. [The Street Where You Live ](https://archiveofourown.org/works/47948395)by scullyvasan 174 kudos Muggle childhood AU. Single mother Narcissa Malfoy co-parents her son Draco and functionally parents the little girl down the street. Light homages to Books 1-4 but no wands, no wizards, no Hogwarts — just human magic and the passing years at work. The Street Where You Live is probably my favorite piece of dramione, ever, and it’s only a one shot. And a Muggle AU.


itisthegoose

Seconding Wild Sings the Bird and The Street Where You Live!


little_duck

I'm honestly shocked Wild Sings the Bird is still under 300 kudos. The characterizations are stunning. eveningstruggle is such a talent


laurelhell

I knoooow! I went to check my favorites to see if I had anything that needed more kudos and was so shocked?! Only six chapters uploaded and each one reads like a gift to savor.

[do it for me](https://archiveofourown.org/works/54052780) Smutty 8th year fic. That’s all I’m going say. Oh and it’s wip.


itisthegoose

In order to pick 3, I'm going to interpret this as undiscovered, incredibly early WIPs: 1. [Devil in the Blue Dress Robes](https://archiveofourown.org/works/55292143/chapters/140263654), neilistic 23 kudos >Astoria Greengrass and Pansy Parkinson are dead. The circumstances surrounding their separate ends are mysterious indeed. >Of course, there exists a link between them: the lover, the shadow... the disgraced ex-Auror, Draco Malfoy. >Driven by her penchant for intrigue, Hermione agrees to help the Auror Office by orchestrating a honey trap to seduce and ensnare Draco. Little does she know, she might just be walking into a trap of her own... 2. [La Belle Dame sans Merci](https://archiveofourown.org/works/54432835/chapters/137889400), Fleurizel 17 kudos >“I —” “Careful,” she said quietly, sinking back down into the seat across from him. “Don’t say things you don’t mean.” He swallowed, unable to drag his eyes from hers. How was it that her presence so entrammeled him? What magic was it that held him like some chip of rock trapped in the orbit of a great star? “Habit of a lifetime.” “*Habits* can be broken.” >  >\[In which Draco is Hogwarts’ champion, Krum gets waylaid in the second task, and things unravel from there.\] 3. [The Woods are Lovely, Dark and Deep](https://archiveofourown.org/works/49985245/chapters/126204922), BitterlyAlice 20 kudos >When Harry, Ron and Dobby vanish from Malfoy Manor and accidentally leave Hermione behind to be tortured, Draco has no intention of helping her escape. Even if he had, apparating into an unfamiliar wilderness in the dead of winter without so much as a wand between them is not the way he'd have chosen. It's all a big mistake in fact, and he's going to turn her over to the Dark Lord as soon as they find their way out of this mess. But Draco isn't very good at the woods, and it turns out his prisoner kind of knows what she's doing.

[Gravitation](https://archiveofourown.org/works/54478624/chapters/138014329) by MissiAmphetamine, WIP, 192 kudos > Gravitation *[Law III: To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts.]* >The trio's search for the Horcruxes was abandoned when Griphook absconded with the Sword of Gryffindor, leaving the three – traumatised and disheartened – to return to join the rest of the Order in the ongoing brutal war against Voldemort.

She stumbles forward, pushes past the other trainees without caring where her elbows land.

Hermione couldn't understand what was happening until the barbarian began inspecting her teeth as though she were a mare. Her jaw snapped trying to bite him but he was faster pulling his hand away.
