Grease & Lightning by Mothboss for SerenaEW, nocturn, Renee561
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
The year was 1988, and on one quiet Sunday morning in the early days of a blisteringly hot July, the Dursleys departed from Number Four Privet Drive. This, by itself, was of little consequence. They habitually went to church most Sunday mornings. Except... this time they simply didn't return.
SS&HP Mentor/Friend/Severitus-style fic.
This story is complete in four chapters which will be posted weekly. The fic is the first in the Storm Surge series. The sequel is now being posted and is called Acid Reigns.
Written as a gift for my discord friend Serena: congratulations on sitting your medical exams! (But also, intended as a gift for Nocturn and Renee, who are ever in my corner cheering me on).

Curse of the Black Pharaoh by Jarmy225

Summary
When an ancient tomb awakens in the Egyptian desert, Hermione Granger leads the dig—only to find Draco Malfoy already there. Older, sharper, infuriatingly charming, he arrives with Theo Nott at his side and a Ministry contract she can’t refuse.
The alliance is uneasy. The tomb shifts around them. Glyphs respond to Draco alone. At its heart lies the Sceptre of Ankh-Inpu—a weapon forged to command the dead. And Kingsley Shacklebolt, the Minister she once trusted, will do anything to claim it.
Curses. Betrayal. Ancient magic. A slow-burn romance that ignites hotter than the desert sun.
Enemies-to-lovers adventure with dark artifacts, collapsing chambers, and a Draco Malfoy who swore he’d never be a hero.

Summary
First, he stretches. Then, he exercises. He eats breakfast, and watches the street he lives on come to life -- the old man and his corgi, the baristas at the coffee shop, the woman who jogs, the daughter and father, and the Indian grocer all making their appearance. Then, he showers, shaves, dresses, and heads to his job as an Auror, where he has been on desk duty ever since he was pulled from the field because of The Incident.
Draco lives his life by his Ministry mandated Mind Healer routines, and he is trying to get back to being Potter's left-hand man, but the cannonball to his careful regimen comes in the form of a very cranky Hermione Granger.
Banter, fluff, eventual smut, an ensemble cast of friends and family and weddings and babies. Told in mostly Draco's POV, but the occasional random one, because who says Draco is the most reliable of narrators?
It’s a character-driven slow burn.
