Summary
The war is over and Voldemort has won. On the one year anniversary of his victory, the Dark Lord introduces the Games of Retribution, where eighteen young Azkaban prisoners will fight each other in a tournament to the death, with the assistance of nine of his own followers as Mentors.
Hermione Granger has spent a blurry nightmare of a year in Azkaban when she's retrieved to participate in the Games and then forced to pair up with one of her former peers for survival.
With his family’s reputation in shambles, Draco Malfoy sees the Mentorship in the Games as his only chance to regain his position in this new society. What he doesn’t account for is how Hermione Granger’s arrival might affect his chances at winning.
They may say it's a game, but someone will have blood on their hands. A Hunger Games/Voldemort wins AU.

Summary
Voldemort won at the Battle of Hogwarts and seven years later Britain's Wizarding World is ruled by the Dark Lord. The resistance is fractured, and those who remain fight within shadows.
Hermione is one of the last beacons of resistance, fighting in the shadows for those the regime has hunted to near extinction.
Draco lives beneath the weight of legacy and obligation in a world where survival demands loyalty and silence. When a mission brings him face to face with someone thought lost to the war, buried truths begin to rise.
She's not the girl he remembers, and he’s not the boy he used to be. When their paths collide as the regime tightens its grip and propaganda blurs truth and memory, alliances are tested, old love is twisted into something unrecognizable, and survival means sacrificing more than ever before.
This story has been sectioned into three parts, you will see this indicated in the chapter titles.

Summary
After the war, Hermione Granger disappears to a magical university in upstate New York that doesn’t believe in wands, modesty, or mercy.
Brakebills is supposed to be a fresh start. A place where no one knows her name or what she did during the war. A place to study, to rebuild, maybe to rest.
Then Draco Malfoy shows up.
Still blonde. Still infuriating. Still somehow in her way. He’s not supposed to be here. But neither is she.

Summary
Draco Malfoy dies on a Wednesday.
Hermione Granger hates Wednesdays. Can’t imagine dying on one. Hump day. Middle of the week. Neither the weekend nor a particularly interesting weekday. There’s never anything exceptional to be excited about.
After the war, all Hermione Granger wants is to forget everything that happened and sink into her studies. Unfortunately for her, she stumbles upon something she’s not supposed to and gets stuck, forced to relive the day Draco Malfoy dies. To break free, she must join forces with her enemy and descend into a world governed by secret magical societies and discover the killer before it’s too late. Blood magic, rituals, secrets and lies — welcome to the Wizarding world’s dark underbelly. Not everyone can make it out alive.
A character study on life after war and the way it shapes us.

(Who Gives A F*ck About) An Oxford Comma? by Gr8t_78

Summary
Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger somehow managed to act cordially when they had to room together in the eighth year dormitory at Hogwarts. So when a paperwork mix-up means they'll have to do the same at Oxford University, Hermione assumes it won't be so bad.
But something is off here at Oxford, and she can't quite put her finger on it.
She's definitely learned one important lesson at university: everyone should give a fuck about an Oxford comma.
