“So it was you” he slowly walks up to her, he is past the table when her fingertips reach out for the pelt hoping the movement goes unnoticed, it doesn’t. He flings himself against her taking her by the arm holding tight his other hand goes directly to her neck as he drives her against a wall. Her skull hits the stone and her entire body vibrates with the impact, gritting her teeth she snarls at him. “Why?” His long fingers close around her throat pressing against her skin she can feel as they leave a mark. He leans in close to her ear, the scent of pine and something deep and intense, earthy. “I could so easily break you, fragile like a little sparrow” he presses his thumb into the curve of her jaw and neck.“But first answer me, why ?”
I’m really proud of the work that goes into this fic it is a lovely wretched thing.
This is my selkie piece for the Tetarophilia fest…
@dhrteratophilia
Thank you for organizing this amazing fest
To accompany your reading may I suggest the playlist I created
While ferrying a message for the Order of the Phoenix, Hermione Granger is caught by jaded Death Eater, Draco Malfoy. Unlikely and unwilling allies, the pair begin a cross-country journey where their survival depends on learning when to stand strong against the elements’ fury, and when it’s acceptable to erode.
Chapter 1 now on youtube and Ao3. Will come to spotify once completed.
Thank you to the amazing and talented @misdemeanor1331 for letting me read this wonderful story and to @nikitajobson for letting me use their art!
I forgot the name of this fic and the author so need help - It’s Draco/Hermione but I think the author mistagged (can’t remember if they correctly tagged it as a romantic relationship this time) can’t recall the plot but the summary had Justin Finch-Fletchley’s fault, selkies. Draco hasn’t changed mindset I think and Hermione takes none of his BS (maybe) and they strike a deal I guess or something IDK hope this is enough info to help me 😭
Best Laid Plans - Metaphora - M, 12 chapters - Considering how often the Ministry actively opposed Hermione's plans to introduce some efficiency, transparency and diversity in their departments, was it really her fault if she might have signed a contract that made her a pawn in an unknown wizard's attempt to gain power? After all, she was dealing with Justin Finch-Fletchley at the time and there had been imminent danger of a selkie massacre in Skye.
POV: Draco takes home an injured otter only for it turn into a beautiful woman the next day. She names herself Hermione and is revealed to be a selkie.
She tells him she wants to go home but he can't seem to let her go just yet. After all, she's still injured, so he takes it upon himself to keep her otter skin in the meantime.
The Selkies Sanctuary
https://ift.tt/Y1o8tbn
by itsdemontimeAladdin
Hermione is craving distance from the bustling magical and muggle worlds. Her job in the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures offers a reprieve. An entire year on a lonely island off the coast of Scotland observing Selkie pods. With nothing but Crookshanks and the old island's lighthouse to give her company, she relishes in the silent sanctuary. Peace is slowly broken though as a male selkie continues to occupy her shores, bringing thunderous storms in his wake. He is the perfect speciman to observe in more than just an academic way.

tt: in a tug of war between the tide and me, what felt like loss was a victory (lyrics of watermark by sleeping at last)
Oh, this is fascinating! I'll have to check out that song.
This would absolutely be Fenrir Greyback/Hermione Granger.
Miss Hermione Granger emerges from the waves to see High Alpha Fenrir Greyback holding her Selkie pelt. This is not how she thought she would find a Mate ... it's even better.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 562,348, which is honestly insane
3. What fandoms do you write for? right now mostly stranger things. I've got most of a ted lasso fic written but who knows if that'll get posted?? and prev, harry potter.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
1. don't take this sinner (dramione, marriage law ish),
2. same as it ever was (steddie, two timelines, one of my first steddie fics!)
3. carve your name into my chest (steddie, the hockey au of my dreams)
4. come get your man (he got lost in my DMs) (steddie, social media, steve being a horny DM guy)
5. there'll be a riot (cause I know you) (steddie, the matty-healy-rat-man-Eddie-vibed mostly smut fic)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? ugh. I WISH!!!! I want to be better at this, I really do. I usually start strong but I end up with limited energy/time and I want to filter that into writing more. if you've ever commented: I FUCKING LOVE YOU and think you're SO cool! if you really WANT a reply, the best way to get that is to ask me questions haha. it starts to feel weird just "thank you!"ing everyone, ya know?
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I am.... not an angsty ending person tbqh! I think the closest is probably you love the sea, which is a flintwood rarepair selkie fic that I deeply love. it ends happy, insofaras they end up TOGETHER, but if you think more about the implications and how fucking sad it's going to be for oliver... well. I'll leave that to you guys.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? god, I'm well known for having "endings so happy they border on absurd", according to one person online. so, pick your poison I guess! anyways the fic THAT person was referring to was same as it ever was, so, let's go with that!
8. Do you get hate on fics? I have been so lucky lately to not get much hate at all lately, which is a real privilege in the fandom world. remember that I cut my teeth in early days of harry potter, and people were BRUTAL. I definitely HAVE gotten hate - my aforementioned dramione fic has a bit of a weird twist that some people were PISSED about (and once I got an incredibly detailed comment about how badly I fucked up my representation of black Hermione because she... didn't talk that much about hating her hair? which I know is AN experience but not necessarily a universal one) but overall, at least this fandom go around, no hate. thank you, everyone, for that!
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? yes. lots and lots and lots of it. mostly kinda kinky and pretty much all pretty gay. let's not talk about how many times I've had to tag dacryphilia and what that means. I just like when people fuck about things, yknow?
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? nope, never! and I likely never will. too much to keep track of.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? not that I know of, thank god for that.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? I've had requests but... I would need a translator willing to work pretty closely with me because I want to make sure certain choices come across well, and I haven't found that yet.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? not officially, though I did write a buckingham companion piece to the amazing cowboy-bar fic @riality-check did!
14. What’s your all time favorite ship? OH GOD don't make me choose! ALL TIME is still probably dramione, but steddie is a very close second. in terms of canon ships, I'm such a sucker for buffy/spike (leave me alone), and veronica mars/logan (AGAIN LEAVE ME ALONE) and rory/logan (BECAUSE RICH WHITE BOYS NAMED LOGAN ARE A WEAKNESS, APPARENTLY)
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? pour one OUT for you can't take the sky from me, which is my firefly inspired harry potter au ft pansy/percy, mostly because I had so many big plans for it that I've completely forgotten AND I just can't write in that fandom at all anymore. sorry everyone, I do love what I put out and I wish there was more of it.
16. What are your writing strengths? prose, smut, tying things together with little bows, and spending way too much time in my characters heads
17. What are your writing weaknesses? dual POVs, getting so lost in one character I don't flesh out the others as much as I mean to, action sequences, and consistent motivation
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I've done it before (mostly in clean ice, cold hearts, can't lose) and my typical strategy is to indicate that the characters are speaking a diff language (in french, I use guillements and italics) but not to actually WRITE the french, unless it's very short and the POV character doesn't understand it on purpose like in carve.
19. First fandom you wrote for? harry potter baby! my oldest posted fic that I've found online was from 2002, when I was... too young to be interacting with the internet like that, that's for sure.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written? carve your name into my chest and it's no contest. I love same as it ever was as well, which I think is a better WRITTEN fic technically speaking, but carve was a huge passion project that I had so much fun with, and the response to it had been one of my favourite things in the world. oh, and special shout out to make this inn our own, which is my second longest fic ever and was just an absolute joy to do. so, those three, I guess!

Summary: After Dumbledore dies, Fawkes stays with Harry. As time passes, Harry begins to think the creature is more than just a phoenix.
Turns out, he was right. Fawkes is definitely not an ordinary phoenix.
Explaining this one to Ron and Hermione was going to be difficult, to say the least.

Happy belated birthday @misdemeanor1331 ! @dreamsofdramione , @inadaze22 and I wish you a wonderful upcoming year, thank you for sharing your talent with us!
Draco sat on the rocks, gazing. The night sky was lit by countless stars and the sea by their reflection. He sat there hoping, wishing upon every star that she would come, breathing in rhythm to the sea lazily crashing in spilling waves.
There was no moon upon him, only starlight and the candle he had brought. Charmed to survive the gale that sometimes rose, washing over the land, clinging to the cliffs and to the walls of his family’s seat. His hand toyed with the flame, his mind lost to memories of her and of her fascination with fire. His eyes drifted up to the stars, wishing again, and he let his heart soar high above him. She haunted his thoughts, made him wish to do grand and wonderful things in her name, and yet he could not. For all his wealth, Draco Malfoy could do absolutely nothing, for this was wrong.
He was wrong. Sitting at this beach hoping for her, wanting her, was wrong. Cheating on sweet but sickly Astoria was wrong. Having a relationship with a magical beast was wrong, but gods be damned, he could not be wrong when she felt so right.
After an unexpected birthday surprise, Harry finds himself taking care of a baby in need. However, his life has taught him that no one is safe around Harry Potter. So, how else can he protect the child but to kill off Harry Potter and become someone new. And, who best to help him than the person who would really like him to not be James Potter's son...Severus Snape. Creature!Fic

It's possible that Hermione may have a bit of a hand kink in my current WIP...
Hmm?
(snippet)
He reached into his suit. Hermione couldn't help noticing how delicately and precise his fingers moved about. She hadn't noticed that before about him, but she certainly did now.
Draco pulled out a money pouch from the inside his suit and held it out for her to take. "Your pay," he explained when she didn't immediately respond to the action.
She blinked, realizing that she was staring too long. Much to her dismay, Draco had also noticed, and his eyes were now shining with absolute amusement. It was like he knew exactly the reason for why she hadn't pulled her eyes from him for so long.
Hermione accepted his offering then, not unaware that their hands had touched. Something flopped around a little in her gut, confusing her. She hadn't felt this way about a man in weeks.
She couldn't think about Draco Malfoy in such a way though. Not when she and Draco really had little in common and the two definitely wanted different things in their lives. And she especially couldn't think about a man when she had a mate who would stake his claim to her as soon as realized who she was to him.
Hermione decided that the only logical reason her hormones were acting this way was because she was missing the intimate touch of a male companion.
She really hoped her mate would find her soon. Hermione feared this need may become stronger.
"So you will come to my event tomorrow?"
"I don't typically do formal events," Hermione informed him. She hated how much attention that she had to give her hair in order to look appropriate.
"It would please me to see you there."
Hermione grunted. "I'm seeing someone, just so you know. So you can stop wasting your time with me." The thought of his hands were instantly at the top of her mind again, and she wondered what other uses those hands would be good for.
She quickly shook those thoughts away. Damn, she was losing it, and it was so strange how sudden it came on.
One of Draco's eyebrows flipped up. "Oh? That's quite unfortunate. You are not married though?" His lips formed a knowing smirk.
"Not yet anyway," she emphasized. "But I'm sure we will be united soon enough!"
Oh, please let that be true, she thought to herself, begging whichever god that was listening to her.
"Then you may bring your boyfriend to my event with you, and together, the two of you can enjoy a night out on me." He shrugged, not at all bothered that she was "taken". "Call it a gift."
"Thank you, but I'll be busy tomorrow."
It was best if Hermione stayed as far away from this man as humanly possible.
