    Summary

    1977: In a smoky Cokeworth pub where the Sex Pistols scream Anarchy through crackling speakers, Hermione's serving chips while young Severus Snape pours pints and practices his sneer. She wasn't supposed to be here, but a cursed Time-Turner had other plans the night Dumbledore fell. Their summer burns wild and free, all vinyl records, heated nights, and a love affair that tastes like rebellion. But September's reality crashes in: they're both heading to Hogwarts, where choosing sides means more than picking records.

    Two decades, two wars, and one hell of a temporal mess later; the future's about to get a new soundtrack.

    Never mind prophecies, History's about to get loud.

    Summary

    Hermione and Snape take up cohabitating work space at Grimmauld Place after Spinner's End is burned down. She cannot help but feel the Potions Master is still hiding something, and why does he have an enchanted ring?

    Before she has time to figure out, she's sent decades into the past, left to contend with a rising dark lord, her best friend's parents, and a teenage potions prodigy.

    ---------------------------------------
    “Headmaster! She’s awake!” The voice that most certainly cannot be Poppy Pomfrey, but is, calls, a voice Hermione hasn’t heard in months.

     

    Worst of all, Hermione turns her head to glance at the entryway –

     

    where a dead man is looking at her.

    Summary

    Severus keeps a litany in his head of all the terrible things he's experienced in his life since he took the Dark Mark, so whenever something new and terrible comes along, he knows that Lily's death was his personal Mariana Trench (he can fall no further into the depths than that soul-shattering sorrow). He does not commit acts of sexual violence. He has tortured and murdered, lied and spied, but he does not touch others against his will.

    It is his final line in the sand, the block upon which he would lay his neck for the executioner.

    Until a day in late spring when he receives a desperate plea from Cissa, urging him to come to the Manor, desperate for his aid once more, and what lies before him is a nightmare — a single prisoner: Hermione Granger.

    Suddenly, he is facing the one line he'd die before crossing. Except Hermione Granger's eyes are locked on his, and speaking words that send him reeling into the abyss: She implies she knows why he killed Albus Dumbledore.

    Behind her eyes are secrets Hermione Granger needs him to know to win this war.

    A prisoner incapable of consent, she's dragging them both over his last line with damnable Gryffindor bravery.

    Summary

    England, 1800s.

    Hermione Granger turns seventeen when she is given in marriage to Severus Snape — a man twice her age, cold, severe, and utterly uninterested in a sentimental bride.

    What begins as a carefully calculated arrangement, where only coldness and loneliness were expected, gradually turns into unexpected heat behind closed doors.

    Below stairs, the servants live their own lives as well. They watch, whisper, and navigate their own tangled stories.

    A historical AU of forced marriage, forbidden attraction, age difference, class tension, secrets, and a slow, reluctant pull between two people who were never supposed to want each other.

    Some marriages begin with love.
    Theirs begins with an agreement.
