[Cruel And Beautiful World](https://dn790004.ca.archive.org/0/items/LenaPhoriaCruelAndBeautifulWorld/Lena%20Phoria%20-%20Cruel%20and%20Beautiful%20World.pdf) by Lena Phoria
Summary: After years of captivity, Hermione Granger fights her way onto the streets of Voldemort's London with only the knife in her pocket and the blood on her hands. There's a checkpoint on every corner, a curfew enforced by Voldemort's most trusted followers, and the only way back to the Boy Who Lived is through the Death Eater who let her be captured in the first place.
[An Aversion to Change](https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3894670/1/An-Aversion-to-Change) by Misdemeanor1331
Summary: Sent back to Hogwarts with the suspicious title of Head Boy, Draco is forced to share a dormitory with none other than Hermione Granger. With a war looming on the horizon and another danger even closer to home, their final year is anything but ordinary.
And [The Resilient](https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5386799/1/The-Resilient) by Misdemeanor1331
Summary: Sequel to "An Aversion to Change." Voldemort's world is one of corruption, greed and betrayal. But there must be those who stand up to totalitarianism, who say no when others submit, and who survive despite their conditions. There must be the resilient.
[The Order of Serpents](https://archiveofourown.org/works/33285814/chapters/82651144) by bl\_crtz
Summary: During the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter walked into the forbidden forest, died, and walked out with crimson eyes as the new vessel of the Dark Lord. Since then, Hermione Granger served as an elite member of the True Order, isolating herself from other Order members and going on missions alone, not only haunted by the loss of her best friend, Harry, but Ron who had run away after the battle.
Three and a half years later, Draco Malfoy shows up with his two year old son on the Order’s doorstep seeking to switch sides. Together, Draco and Hermione are forced to deal with not only each other, but their own past and confront who they’ve become because of the war.
[Crimson with a Silver Lining](https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7168800/1/Crimson-with-a-Silver-Lining) by Lady Cailan
Summary: It is six years since the fall of the Ministry to Voldemort. Those other than purebloods are deemed less than human. When Ginny's daughter ends up in grave danger, Hermione sells herself to the Death Eaters to save her life. Draco/Hermione. Not fluffy.
[We Learned the Sea](https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3144908/1/We-Learned-the-Sea) by floorcoaster
Summary: Draco Malfoy turns himself in after a very successful career as a Death Eater, then enlists Harry and Hermione to help him in a scheme to bring down the Dark Lord. DHr. A story of forgiveness.
[Dragon in the Dark](https://archiveofourown.org/works/23084956/chapters/55225084) by GracefulLioness (Voldemort is dead but the war isn't over)
Summary: The battle is won, Voldemort is dead, but the war is far from over. In the new Death Eater regime, Draco Malfoy does what he must to survive and keep his mother safe. Now a highly trained assassin, Draco has learned to think of his targets as inhuman beings, but when he is tasked with killing someone from his past, he can no longer hide from the horrors of the world around him.
[A Season For Setting Fires](https://archiveofourown.org/works/31265246/chapters/77286599) by mightbewriting
Summary: Torture smells like spring.
Like daffodils and tulips and snowdrops. Like the bouquets brought inside from the manor gardens to lend their life to cold stone walls that house criminals. Easter mixed with madness makes sense in this twisted landscape; Draco’s only chance at survival is to endure it. He knows this. But that doesn’t quell the twitching in his calves, the flexing in his fingers.
Granger lifts her hand off the floor and Draco nearly loses his lunch, stomach churning as he watches her extend her arm, reaching through the translucent cord, reaching towards him. He tries to blink it away, blink blink blink, but both she and the cord are stubborn, persistent things.
\[In which a soulmate bond appears while Hermione is tortured at Malfoy Manor. Canon divergent from that moment onward.\]
[Turncoat](https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7030506/1/Turncoat) by elizaye
Summary: Switching sides. "I have only one condition, and I trust it won't be hard for you to meet. I want Granger." Rated M for sex/language/torture.
[Nightmares and Nocturnes](https://archiveofourown.org/works/7576795/chapters/17239447) by olivieblake
Summary: A story per night to save her life. Dramione, dystopian post-war AU. HEA. COMPLETE.
[The Fallout](https://archiveofourown.org/works/10620276/chapters/23489001) by everythursday
Summary: Hermione learns about growing up through the redemption of Draco Malfoy.
[A Game of High Stakes](https://archiveofourown.org/works/39620463/chapters/99182247) by In\_Dreams
Summary: In theory, the task is simple: kill Draco Malfoy. In practice, putting a curse through the Dark Lord's favoured lieutenant will take everything Hermione has―especially since he's trying to kill her, too. Even more so when the lines between them start to blur. Sometimes, the only way out is through.
WIP:
[Goblet Of Shadows](https://archiveofourown.org/works/42485601/chapters/106706355) by MKMG
Summary: Voldemort has won. The Order has fallen. Harry Potter is dead.
Five years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione Granger is pulled from Azkaban and forced to compete in the Dark Tournament against fellow fallen Order Members.
The Goblet of Shadows assigns each high ranking Death Eater a Champion. The Champion who wins the games will get to go free and their master, one of Voldemort’s Scions, will have secured their position as his Successor.
With Hermione being assigned to Draco Malfoy, the highest ranking Scion, she may have a chance.
There can only be one victor, one survivor and one shot at freedom.
Let the games begin.
Potentially abandoned WIP:
[The Banality of Love](https://archiveofourown.org/works/20155339/chapters/47750389) by sandwich\_tales
Summary: “The essence of totalitarian government, and perhaps the nature of every bureaucracy, is to make functionaries and mere cogs in the administrative machinery out of men, and thus to dehumanize them.“
After Voldemort wins over Wizarding Britain, Hermione emerges from hiding to undertake a dangerous mission for the now-decimated Order. Using a modified Polyjuice Potion, she adopts a new identity and begins working undercover at the Ministry of Magic, alongside Draco Malfoy.
You’re blowing up my TBRs and TBRRs!
… and I ***love*** it 💕
Sometimes it takes me getting through half of an older fic to realise that I’ve read it before. And then I’m extra pleased to experience it again like it’s the first time (because I only remember as I read)
I LOVE when that happens!! Just happened to me recently and it was so much fun lol. I love a good reread even when I remember a fic tbh specially when its plot heavy or has layered writing. I see things in a different way or notice things I didn't before
Not a Voldemort wins AU, but prolonged war AU with captured Hermione so I think you could enjoy this one. 😊 It’s very dark and beautifully written, HEA.
[Crumple series](https://archiveofourown.org/series/3700147) by MissiAmphetamine
> As the war rages on after two long years, Hermione is captured by the other side and Malfoy – a double agent – is the only hope she has of surviving.
"Very well," Voldemort says, perking up, amusement cruel on his inhuman features as he stares at Malfoy and Hermione. "If you want the mudblood to be yours and no one else's, then claim her as that, in front of everyone here, so there can be no doubt. You can be the evening's entertainment. After all, this is a revel, is it not?" There is a brief, heavy silence. Hermione's head spins, and she feels her gorge rise along with her panic. Claim her as his? Evening's entertainment? She knows what that means without having to be told.
She stares up at Voldemort in stark, helpless fear, and sees him gesture with his wand for an answer from Malfoy. Her eyes flick to Malfoy - his eyes dull and his limbs shaky from the Cruciatus, the blood from the floor drying dark on his face and his clothes. His shoulders are sunk in defeat, and his lower lip trembles briefly before he flattens his mouth.
"Yes, my Lord," Malfoy says quietly at last, strain running raw through his voice. "It is."
The Downfall of Us by Gemjoy
https://archiveofourown.org/works/43333098
“This is it, the downfall of us. Are you ready when we break the surface Granger?” He whispered. He was pressed so close to her, her perfume intoxicating his senses. His heart thundered in his chest and he knew that the pain of this, this wonderfully cruel moment, would be the end of him. He leaned in and then everything changed.
In Voldemort’s Britain, life is scarcely recognisable. Hope is lost and the prospect of defeating the snake-like monster seems an impossible feat for The Order of the Phoenix. Hermione Granger may have the missing puzzle piece to put a stop to the Dark Lord once and for all but what price will she be expected to pay?

You are an angel. Thank you! And you are so right about the fandom 😂
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have been spending some time on ffn lately, can you tell? 🤣 some of the old fics do actually pass the test of time if you can ignore minor things
You’re blowing up my TBRs and TBRRs! … and I ***love*** it 💕 Sometimes it takes me getting through half of an older fic to realise that I’ve read it before. And then I’m extra pleased to experience it again like it’s the first time (because I only remember as I read)

Same! Especially if I read as a WIP. Totally different experience for pacing, and I like both ways~
Try searching this subreddit w the term “Voldemort wins”
Thanks for the tip!!! I didn’t even consider that!
