The Fallout by everythursday — Chapters 16 to 21

Hermione Granger is thrown into the long, grinding aftermath of a war that refuses to end cleanly. Draco Malfoy begins as an enemy with a debt to pay, but his uneasy place inside the Order forces Hermione to see him not as a symbol, but as a person changing under pressure.Across missions, safe houses, grief, violence, and the ordinary humiliations of growing up in wartime, Hermione and Draco move from suspicion to dependence to a love neither of them has the luxury to trust easily. The Fallout is a dark, slow-burn Dramione war story about survival, moral exhaustion, and the painful shape of redemption.By everythursdayChapters: 49Words: 310,229Genres: Action, Angst, Dark, Drama, RomanceWarnings: Graphic violence, psychological trauma, secondary character death, strong profanity, torture
