    Summary

    This story started as a series of drabbles, ficlets, and could-have-been-canon scenes beginning in June of 1995 wherein Fred and Hermione slowly become more than friendly acquaintances. Similarly, this fic itself has gradually morphed into much more than that, and certainly more than I had ever intended it to be.

    It’s now 250k+ words of my explaining by example all of the ways that these two could - SHOULD - have been canon, and what that might have looked like if it ran alongside the events of the original books (or most of them, anyway).

    That said, this story is significantly darker than canon, and it touches on some of the trauma that was previously brushed over, as well as injecting some where it makes sense to have occurred. There’s plenty of humor and joy, but there’s also a lot of pain that, within the context of the story, has good reason to be felt.

    Regarding the Underage tag, the characters are ages sixteen and eighteen at the first occurrence. If this upsets your sensibilities, this is not the story for you. Especially triggering content will be called out in chapter notes.

    *TAGS AND CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS WILL BE CONTINUALLY UPDATED AS NEEDED UNTIL THIS IS COMPLETE*

    Summary

    Hermione is perfectly - well, not happy, but - content with her life after the war. She works in the Ministry alongside Percy Weasley, adores her godson Teddy Lupin, and is just lucky that her friends are happy.

    Up until the marriage law crops up. That does definitely put a damper on things.

    Luckily, Fred knows how to make people laugh.
