Phonocardiographie by clavas_balas
Many a night, just at midnight, when all the world slept, she would receive a call from a mysterious man.
Shadowed by Whatislightwithoutdark
One year. One year Hermione managed to escape him. A man who has haunted her footsteps ever since she was a child. Like a possessive shadow, he has always lurked in the darkness, watching and waiting. His name she knows not. His intentions she knows not.
And now that he finally has her within his clutches once more, she wonders how this nightmare he has spun for her will end. She should have known better though … no one can escape from a ghost.

Break yourself against my stones by devdevlin
Hermione's second year of uni is going perfectly to plan. She's student president for her year, top of each of her classes, and she's well on track to take the Bioscience's annual merit award.
She's also bored out of her fucking mind.
That is, until one of her instructors slips her the strangest note...
A Sin to Know by EchoPhoenix
Tom allowed a genuine smile past his bloody lips as he raised his slender fingers to his gaze. Miss Granger really ought to curb such a self destructive habit, digging her fingernails into her palm like a reprimanded child?
How very unladylike.
Tom pressed his fingers to his nose, smelling her sweet scent of copper and iron. He could hardly suppress a moan as he breathed her in deeply.
He traced those two, bloody fingers across his lips, allowing his and hers to intermingle in an intimate act of which one party was not privy to. Tom couldn’t quite bring himself to care, his tongue darting out to taste her, despite himself overeager at the thought of her on his tongue. A groan escaped his throat, low and guttural as he dipped his fingers into his mouth, swirling her there like a fine wine.
Hermione Granger tasted positively divine.
