Summary
He is revered, feared, untouchable. She's the master of survival. At an elite university where reputation is everything, power is a currency and secrets are nothing but debts waiting to be owed, neither Draco Malfoy—and his 'Viper Court'—nor Hermione Granger expected the other to matter. But the most dangerous things—it should be known—are often the most unexpected.
Note
yes, I am still starting new fics with 4785 ongoing ones. no, I will not stop. my ADHD decided 2025 is the year where I'm working on everything I feel like, in no particular order or logic, and today I felt like dark academia, so dark academia you get. even though I'm treating this with a very "atmosphere & vibes" approach and a very introspective writing style, I'm still expecting this one to get pretty dark in the long run (even though it might take a second), definitely unhealthy and most likely smutty as hell once the slow burn has done its simmering so.. if the tags haven't warned you in advance, here's your formal warning!also don't judge me, i'll update all my fics, at some point, when it happens.
