    Summary

    Those who abolished the Statute of Secrecy in 1945 never intended the horrors that came afterwards.

    By 1998, Wizarding Britain—styled after a reborn Roman Empire with Imperator Voldemort at its helm—controls most of Europe. Resistance is brutally crushed, muggles are in chains, and muggleborns are martyred by dragon fire in front of screaming crowds.

    Hermione Granger is a domestic slave working in the Malfoy household, dreaming of a remade world, and hiding magic in her veins. Discovery means certain death. 

    Draco Malfoy, a tribune and spy for the Imperial Legion, carries the weight of painful secrets. For years, the only way to live with his dark reality has been to shut his eyes to it. 

    But she has a burning star inside her—the light of an entire sun

    And now he is caught between the denial which defines his survival, and the woman he cannot deny.

    Summary

    Draco hits the water hard. It feels like crashing into cement. There is no give until he’s sinking and being buried all at once. The wave crashes atop him, and he holds his breath as he’s tossed around in white water. His shoulder bounces against the rocky bottom, cutting into his skin like Doxy nails. He drags across the bottom, tied to his surfboard by a leash around his ankle.

    He closes his eyes and lets the cold sink deep into his bones.

    He could not fight back. He could just sink. He thought he’d stop contemplating death after this long, but the cold beckons him like a lost son.

    And he’s so, so completely and utterly lost.

    Summary

    The setting moon is but a shard in the sky, and it looks sharp and deadly. She wants to pluck it from its place in the heavens and run him through with it for making her feel like this.

    For making her yearn.

    Summary

    Draco and Theo were already apprehensive about the mandatory marriage law, never more so when a magical mix up finds them accidentally matched together.

    So, it’s game on. Who can be the first to break? Because saying you’re in love with your best friend would seem a lot like admitting defeat.

    Or; Theo and Draco use Legilimency to fuck with each other.

    ___________

    Draco’s eyes flared steel grey as Theo slipped a thought through his defences. Over the castle wall went the thought—no, a memory—of the two of them wrapped in cotton sheets, of Draco sliding a warm palm over Theo’s stomach, his fingers moving below his waistband.

    The Draco sat at the breakfast table let out a shocked noise from the back of his throat, and Theo was able to hurriedly send in another flash of the memory—Theo sat on top of Draco’s thighs, his hand pressed over Draco’s mouth.
