Wartime AU | Forced Bond, Fast Sexual Burn, Emotional Slow Burn
A War Within | 53k words | 25 Chapters | WIP
Summary:
As the Order’s deadliest duelist and sharpest mind, Hermione Granger already carries the weight of war. The last thing she needs? A forced magical bond with Draco Malfoy, Voldemort’s most loyal Death Eater.
But fate isn't feeling kind.
Now, as she keeps the bond a secret from the Order—and from Harry, whose relationship with her is its own codependent mess—Hermione fights not just the war, but the compulsions pulling her toward Draco.
Something has to give.
A story of divided loyalties, impossible choices, and a bond that turns enemies into lovers... and something far more.
