Summary
October 1998. The war is over, the survivors are picking up the pieces, and Severus Snape is trying very hard to leave an Order party without talking to anyone.
He fails.
Two thirds of the Golden Trio find him in the corner with his Ogden's. Potter is missing a shoe. Weasley ends up on the floor. And somewhere in the middle of the chaos, Snape learns that Hermione Granger, the most relentlessly present person he'd ever had the misfortune of teaching, has been standing silent at the back of the room all evening; hiding behind her hair, slipping away before anyone could look at her too closely.
She didn't ask for his concern. She probably doesn't want it. He goes looking for her anyway.
What he finds in the overgrown garden of Grimmauld Place will change the carefully reconstructed shape of his post-war life.
Updates will be posted every Sunday. Thank you for being here!

Summary
*** Complete as of 11th May 2026 ***
Hermione Granger has built a good life. A career she loves, a family she'd chosen, a kitchen that feels like home. The Ministry's marriage law threatens to upend all of it.
Matched anonymously via charmed parchment designed to encourage increasingly honest communication between strangers, Hermione finds herself corresponding with a man who is infuriating, brilliant, and uncomfortably perceptive. He sees things in her she's barely admitted to herself. She's not sure whether to be fascinated or alarmed. Possibly both.
The problem is Severus Snape, who has reappeared in her life after years of absence, and who is making it extraordinarily difficult to focus on a Ministry mandated future with someone she's never met.
The other problem is that she's falling for them both.
A slow burn marriage law fic told mostly in a single room, through charmed parchment, terrible pancakes, punk music, and two people who are considerably better at being honest with strangers than with themselves.
"The charm is becoming considerably less useful as a filter. I've stopped being surprised."

Summary
He clears his throat. “Hi.”
“You said that already,” she replies, with a small smile.
“Sorry,” he says, shaking his head. “I was just—nevermind.”
“No, what is it?” She takes a few steps closer, since he hasn’t moved from his position in the doorway.
“You look—” He cuts himself off again, running his hand through his hair. “I’ve never seen you look like this before.”
“Like I’ve actually tried to look nice, for once?”
“You always look nice."
Or:
Hermione Granger returns to England after six years away, and reconnects with Remus Lupin in ways she never could have expected.
