"All her growth was the conveying of a corpse of hope." It was definitely the worst of times. Follow Hermione as she navigates through the quagmire: saving the world, getting top grades, falling in love, lust, and a whole lot of trouble; and comes out of it hopefully at least partially sane. (Super slow burn)

Sesshomaru mated soon after Naraku's defeat, but she kept a secret from him...she's barren. His mother tells him to get a concubine that could give birth to his children, so his line does not end. But it seems that the newly returned kagome is the one chosen to do so. Rated M for a reason, people, so don't complain if you don't like it. Not for little girls or boys!

(Complete) Hermione was easy to overlook with her sensible shoes and her dead-end Ministry job. Thorfinn was easy to ignore as a criminal from a past most were eager to forget. When their paths cross years after the war and he's accused of a terrible crime she knows he didn't commit, she will risk everything to keep an innocent man out of Azkaban.
