Summary
When the Ministry of Magic came up with a rather brilliant solution to the population crisis - pairing up young unmarried witches and wizards with the purpose of procreation, Hermione could hardly believe it.
She certainly didn’t imagine that the first marriage proposal she’d receive would come from none other than Draco Malfoy.
What she’d never in a million years have dreamt was... that she’d actually accept it.***
A marriage law story with the main focus on pregnancy and the development of their relationship through the unusual start of their life together and the baby on the way. High on domesticity, fluff and smut, low on angst and miscommunication - just enough to spice things up.
***
This is Part 1 of their story and it's from Hermione's POV.

One of those fics you wish to forget in order to read it again for the first time, again and again and again. Splendid work.

Summary
"All her growth was the conveying of a corpse of hope."
(From 'The Rainbow', D.H. Lawrence)This is a story about coming into one's own, a meditation on the twilight of girlhood and the violence of crash-landing into womanhood. Follow Hermione as she navigates through the quagmire: Saving the world, getting top grades, falling in love, lust, and a whole lot of trouble, and comes out of it hopefully (at least) partially sane.

Bookmarker's Notes
A work of art. A deep dive in Hermione's beautiful, neurotic, brilliant brain. It perfectly evokes those bittersweet emotions of being young, growing up, having a crush and muddle through life. It's like gazing at my younger self's reflection in a mirror.

Draco Malfoy and the perplexing predicaments of parenting by topazZz1105

Summary
Locating the best witch in the world? Check.
Convincing said witch that he was also her best option? Check.
Getting married and making a baby under a totally reasonable and not-at-all morally questionable Ministry law that definitely didn’t violate any human rights? Big check.
Raising said child (children?) with his brilliant wife in a household where sarcasm is the dominant love language and where the days are filled with nappies, toys scattered around, endless school-related quarrels, teenage mood swings, and Merlin knows what else? Ch... check…?
Draco is learning, daily and painfully, that no amount of Slytherin cunning prepares you for parenthood.
***
A fast-paced kid fic that follows Draco and Hermione’s journey from “Barely sixty percent match” to full-blown parenthood, this time from his perspective, following their children’s lives from birth to… much later.
***
This is Part 2 of their story and it's from Draco's POV. There are a lot of spoilers for BSPM right from the first chapter, so if you've stumbled upon here by accident, and not after Part 1, this is your chance to jump over there and see if you’d even enjoy this marriage law and pregnancy-heavy story! 😊

Summary
First, he stretches. Then, he exercises. He eats breakfast, and watches the street he lives on come to life -- the old man and his corgi, the baristas at the coffee shop, the woman who jogs, the daughter and father, and the Indian grocer all making their appearance. Then, he showers, shaves, dresses, and heads to his job as an Auror, where he has been on desk duty ever since he was pulled from the field because of The Incident.
Draco lives his life by his Ministry mandated Mind Healer routines, and he is trying to get back to being Potter's left-hand man, but the cannonball to his careful regimen comes in the form of a very cranky Hermione Granger.
Banter, fluff, eventual smut, an ensemble cast of friends and family and weddings and babies. Told in mostly Draco's POV, but the occasional random one, because who says Draco is the most reliable of narrators?
It’s a character-driven slow burn.
