Howdy! I thought I'd make a little pinned post with some of my favorite self-recs to keep everything organized. Tumblr won't let me link/post everything, but if you want to check me out on AO3, my username is volchitsa!

Summary:
Draco Malfoy has vanished without a trace. The wizarding world is glad to see him gone, but his mother is desperate to find him. Desperate enough to offer a fortune to anyone who will take on the task.
Bring Draco home, and anything you desire is yours.
Still reeling from her breakup with Ron and feeling adrift, Hermione Granger reluctantly accepts the offer, setting off on a perilous mission that leads her to the dark streets of New Orleans.
In a city rife with danger and mystery, Hermione finally finds Draco—but he’s no longer the boy she once knew. With certain death lurking at every turn, Hermione must confront the terrifying reality of Draco’s new existence and decide if she can save him—or if he is already lost forever.

King of Wands by volchitsa is NOW COMPLETE!
Rating: E
Length: 132,879 words, 33/33 chapters
Pairing: Hermione Granger/Draco Malfoy
Tags/Warnings: Graphic depictions of violence, Dark Lord Draco Malfoy, MoM/DMLE employee Hermione Granger, tattooed Draco Malfoy, Sentient Malfoy Manor, one very sensitive house elf, slow burn enemies to lovers, inspired by Tarot (Divination Cards), POV multiple, explicit content
Summary:
Five years after the fall of Voldemort, Draco Malfoy is ready to make a name for himself. Not as the heir of the most noble houses of Malfoy and Black, nor as a Death Eater fighting for a failed cause, but a name of his own making.
He is the King of Wands.
The only thing standing in his way? The DMLE agent in charge of his Ministry-mandated house arrest following his release from Azkaban, the sodding Golden Girl herself, Hermione Granger.
But Draco isn’t the only one with a job to do and something to prove. Will he be able to twist and manipulate Granger to get his way and succeed as the next Dark Lord? Or will she see the man beneath the mask before it’s too late?
Multiple third person POV, including our two favorite idiots, as well as Theo, Pansy, Narcissa, and Lucius.

Length: 3,189 words
Pairing: Hermione Granger/Draco Malfoy
Summary:
Don’t talk to strangers or you might fall in love, her mother used to say. She wonders what her mother would say now, seeing her like this, barely hanging on. She never thought falling in love would leave her freezing in a basement, wasting away from hunger while he feasts on her devotion.
He feasts on other things, too, but Hermione tries not to think about that.
Prompt: "Strangers" by Ethel Cain, also heavily influenced by "Ptolemaea" and "Punish" by Ethel Cain

The Invisible Man - volchitsa - E, 63 chapters, Words: 192,497 - Harry Potter is dead. The Order has fallen. The war has been lost. Captured at the Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione finds herself locked away in the dungeons of Nott Castle, imprisoned by the Death Eaters. Just when she thinks all is lost, she faces a choice from Lord Voldemort himself; join him, or die. Yet Hermione harbors a defiant plan of her own – with no one else left to fight, she intends to kill Voldemort herself, or die trying. A deadly, battle-hardened Draco is assigned as her chaperone, determined to test her resolve training for the brutal trials Voldemort has set forth for her. Unbeknownst to Hermione, a secret plan is already in motion, one that threatens to unravel her sense of self and challenge everything she is willing to fight – and die – for. As she navigates this treacherous path, Hermione must confront the darkness within and grapple with her own capacity for evil, all while trying not to be killed before she can make her move. Will her proximity to Voldemort and the Death Eaters alter her fundamentally? Or will she find out what she is truly made of in the face of such overwhelming odds?
