Summary
Draco Malfoy is a—self-described—reformed man, ten years after the war. He’d worked hard to muddle through his mistakes, learn from his past and reckon with his future. Now the only thing left on his list is to apologize to Hermione Granger, who has so far refused to hear a word of it. Luckily, his Ministry-mandated community service hours have finally brought him to her department, which makes this his best chance at reconciliation. And he's not going to blow it.
“Granger,” Draco looked up from the papers in his hands and was met with a stony look. “It’s clear you’d prefer I was not here.” He kept his tone even and conversational.
“We needed the help,” Hermione said as she side-stepped the implication.
“And I am here to help. I’ve requested to complete service hours in your department for—”
“Five years. I’m aware. I’ve denied it every time. This is not a department that I want your influence in. But we are desperate for help leading up to program season and you were my only option. That is why you’re here.”
Ouch. He felt the slice of her words, but drew in a breath through his nose with a singular nod to lighten their impact. "Then I will get to my paperwork.”

Summary
Ever since they were tapped to become the next of their respective kinds, Steve and Eddie have been walking the world together every Christmas Eve. They make a strange pair, Steve a mere man with a nice fur suit, Eddie a hulking beast with horns and real fur.
It's a stark difference Eddie clearly feels some kind of way about.
But Steve doesn't see a monster when he looks at Eddie Munson, not really, not at all.

Summary
At first glance, Eddie certainly looked dead. There was a lot of blood, the bats had gotten a longer go at him than they had Steve. He was lying so perfectly still, barely breathing, that he could have easily been mistaken for having already passed away. But Steve saw his chest move, just barely, enough that he was sure Eddie wasn’t completely gone yet, they still had hope.
“I’m not leaving him,” Dustin’s voice was shaky, scattered with hiccups. “You can’t make me leave him here.”-
aka: What if Eddie wasn't quite dead, and goes to hide and heal at Steve's house while his parents are gone. Steve has a sexuality crisis.

Summary
It was only after facing down the storm of bats, losing strength, and seeing Dustin’s distraught face above him that the thought fully occurred to him.
“Has this happened before?”
“What?” Dustin pushed through his tears, but Eddie couldn’t formulate a reply.
He was already gone.
*
The one where Eddie keeps reliving the day before his death, and has to figure out what he's getting wrong so that he can finally have peace. It can't be that hard to die, right?

Summary
“You touching yourself?” Eddie asks, voice low and soft. He’s not looking at Steve.
“Yeah,” Steve answers, equally as soft. He sounds vulnerable even to his own ears.
Eddie’s eyelids flutter shut, left leg twitching.
“Fuck, man,” Eddie murmurs, hand splaying on his thigh.
Steve drives to Eddie's to buy weed. He ends up sticking around for a while.

Summary
It’s disorientating, the way the dream rushes over her. One minute, Hermione’s lying in the dim of her room at Grimmauld Place, and the next, she’s blinking in the face of bright lights, music, laughter…
Strange.
It doesn’t even feel like a dream, really. She doesn’t feel like she’s sleeping at all; it’s more like standing in a memory, as if she’s closed her eyes and tipped head first into a Pensieve.

Summary
Con artist is such an ugly term.
There is a lot of artistry to doing it well, but Eddie hates the negative associations—the idea that he’s doing something wrong, that the truly, horrendously rich don't deserve to be swindled from time to time.
He's made a life of taking them down a peg.
Knows how to find the worst of them; how to woo them, seduce them, and take just enough to get away with it. He studies them, carefully gathering tales of who they use, exploit, destroy, all in the name of money.
Eddie takes his time picking his targets—the worst of the worst—finds out what they want, what they have to prove, and how best to convince them he’s the only one who can make their dreams come true.
It is an art.

Or:
Eddie Munson takes a lot of pride in his work. When an opportunity he's been waiting for brings him to Indianapolis, he expects it to be fast, easy, on his way back home in two weeks. He doesn't expect to meet Steve Harrington.He doesn't expect Steve to change...everything.

"Go away, Riddle," her tone brokers no room for argument as if she's used to barking out orders, "school boys do what they're told, don't they?"

Summary
There’s something unnerving about Tom Riddle.
Hermione’s never quite been able to articulate just what it is about him that unsettles her so: after all, Riddle’s popular and charming and adored by Hogwarts staff and students alike. Still, she’d swear that there’s something lurking beneath that warmly polite veneer of his, something that lies in wait like a serpent in the dark.
But it’s not until her sixth year at Hogwarts, when she rashly confronts him over an unprecedented act of violence, that the full force of Riddle’s chilling regard is abruptly and wholly turned on her.

Summary
“Sorry, I’m just—how does Weasley impact you?” Abraxas asked.
“Because—” and this was trying Tom’s patience more than he thought it would “—if Hermione and I are in constant comparison, and if we are consistently regarded as ‘so similar,’ then Weasley is an unacceptable romantic option.”
“Wait. You don’t want Granger to date Weasley,” Rosier said, “because you wouldn’t date Weasley?”
Tom pinched the bridge of his nose, the beginnings of a headache budding behind his eyes, not sure why he was still having this conversation.
--------
Wherein Tom is jealous but also deep in denial, Hermione is dating the wrong guy, Ron is being kind of an ass, and Tom's friends are chaotic morons. -

Summary
Everyone knew what veela were. Veela were magical creatures, breathtakingly beautiful, who captivated men with a single look. It would have been nice to have been that strain. Instead, Hermione Granger was infected by another. Instead of captivating all men, she was captivated by one. She'd die without him. She was already in almost constant pain.
