Summary
“I do prefer it when you do other things to my skin.”
And once again, Hermione’s brain was gone. Off. In the gutter. Derailing itself with horrifying efficiency.
No.
She tore her eyes away, mentally superimposing the image of her grandfather at Christmas – spectacularly pissed, stark bollock naked under a tartan robe, arguing with the angels in the tree. Still not enough. So she added the memory of that one chapter in Magical Maladies and Their Management, the one with close-up photos of Spattergroit pustules. That did the trick.
Refreshed, centred, pure of thought, she cleared her throat and continued the tour.
Or: Bellatrix Lestrange is supposed to stop committing crimes. Hermione Granger is supposed to stay impartial. Neither of them is very good at following instructions. There’s a dead man, a collapsing investigation, and a rapidly collapsing sense of professional distance.
(Works both as a sequel to Of Magic, Mayhem and Poor Decisions and as a standalone if you don’t like slow buildings.)

Summary
"So, Miranda, I want to know everything! Let's start with this; what do you think about Paris Fashion Week this year?"
Miranda swallowed hard.
The question itself wasn't out of place, in fact it was one that she knew would be asked often in upcoming interviews. Still, chocolate doe-eyes appeared in her mind for a split second, and a sharp twinge in her heart quickened her heart rate. The knowledge that she would never see them again weighed heavily on her, but she did her best to push those thoughts to the back of her mind. The last thing she needed now was another nervous breakdown and a wave of tears.
"It couldn't have gone any better."

Summary
Her grip faltered, her fingers loosening on the fabric, but she didn’t let go. Her heart was hammering in her chest, loud enough she swore Bellatrix could hear it.
Suddenly, she didn’t know whether she wanted to punch the woman or melt into her. Or perhaps, show Bellatrix with her teeth exactly what she thought of her wretched philosophy.
Or: Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts to complete her final year, believing the war is behind her, until someone goes missing and her only lead is the infuriatingly uncooperative Bellatrix Lestrange. Their partnership is doomed to explode… though not quite in the way she expects.

The Power to Manipulate Belief by tardigradetardis

Summary
In a heated duel at the height of a losing battle, Jaina casts a last-ditch portal. It's meant to send the Warchief to the center of Alliance command, where she can be subdued and put on trial for her crimes. Unfortunately the portal sends them to another plane entirely—where Jaina, stranded in unfamiliar wilderness and crippled by the magical backlash, finds herself dependent on the assistance of an experienced ranger.
Mutual need allows them to hammer out a truce, but even that can't keep them from falling back into old habits; once through the shock, neither of them wants to rely on the other, and they're both quite willing to lie, double cross, or otherwise manipulate the other to achieve their own ends. The tentative ceasefire seems doomed to failure, until contact with the residents of this strange new planet makes it horrifyingly clear exactly what kind of civilization they have stumbled upon.
Suddenly, everything has become simpler—and infinitely more complicated.
(Or: An archmage and a banshee take it upon themselves to fix Gor by any means necessary.)
