    Summary

    Sorted into Slytherin with the whisper of prophecy around her, Hermione refuses to bow down to the blood prejudices that poison the wizarding world. Carving her own path forward, Hermione chooses to make her own destiny, not as a Muggleborn, a halfblood, or as a pureblood... but as a New Blood, and everything the mysterious term means.

    ---

    New Blood is a canon AU rewrite with Hermione sorted into Slytherin. Featuring: covens, ritual magic, world building, goblin culture, excessive amounts of science and logic and math attempting to be applied to magical concepts to make them make sense, teenage girls growing up and all that entails, a badass Hermione Granger, and far too many words and plotlines

    Summary

    From a chance meeting in the mines of Bandomeer to a rather unconventional second proposal, Obi-Wan and Jango’s relationship remains a constant throughout both their lives. Alongside that, of course, is the relationship that springs up between a Senator and a Jedi, long after the invasion that brought them together. And, really, who would have expected Padmé and Jango to get on as well as they did?

    “Heard you used to be Queen,” was the first thing Jango said to her, like an asshole. Padmé’s eyes narrowed. Then, she smiled, the expression painstakingly polite in a way that did nothing at all to hide the utter poison in her eyes.

    “Elek, Mand’alor’ad dar’Mand’alor,” she returned, no doubt fumbling her pronunciation but undoubtedly getting her meaning across. She’d give as good as she got.

    She had expected Jango to get angry—it would only be fair, after what she’d said, what she’d deliberately and very purposefully said, with pre-meditation—but instead, he cracked a grin.
