"His eyes remind her of sharp knives catching light, but oh- how she wanted to cut herself to him." As polar opposites, attraction isn't the problem, but will it be enough to stand the test of time? MA-rated. Explicit content. Occasional dom-sub vibes. Lots of smut. One of those fictions where Draco has it all (except for love).

No is no. Or is it? When Draco refuses Hermione's initial pick for a Christmas tree, he realizes that perhaps her happiness is more important to him than his own pick. But how will Hermione respond to his proposition? Could two people that are so completely different from each other still want the same things in life? Read to find out. Post-Hogwarts. Dramione.

Oneshot! At age 11, he was annoyed by her ability to capture his attention. At age 14 he had fantasies about her. At age 17, he realised his physical attraction involved something akin to feelings... but he also knew he could never have her. So, at age 21, he hired her... Just to have her in his life in some capacity. But now, age 27, she is about to switch jobs. And so, he asks.

Draco has always been a coward with a foul mouth, but he's got his heart in the right place. When he gets involved with Hermione after the war, he learns to love her deeply but refuses to let it show... How much of his shit will she take before she has enough? One-shot: possibly more.
