The Hogwarts Christmas Orb by NerysDax

Christmas is a time of peace and joy, and most of all, presents. Do Tom and Hermione get what they want or what they need? 2012 Secret Santa Tomione Fic Exchange - gift for Serpent In Red

An Equal Exchange by Izzo

E | One shot | 7k

“This is the man who destroyed Myrtle Warren’s arsehole, Ginny. He has a lust for violence.” “No, Hermione. He’s the reason she’s even called Moaning Myrtle, okay?” -- Feminist porn star Hermione Jean doesn’t get fucked—she does the fucking. So when hardcore king Tom Riddle contacts her to film a holiday scene with him, she’s far from enthused. She really should have put him on her No list. But maybe there’s more to the man, the myth, the monster than his body of work lets on.

gilded by peppershark

E | Complete | 6k

Hermione is in Pansy’s room, staring in the mirror at her bewildered face with a dozen brushes flitting about her head. Makeup. Ugh. It will only be worth it if he catches sight of her… If she can inspire the same jealousy burbling in her stomach like a cauldron of the Draught of Living Death. My, how Slytherin she’s become.

new traditions by Anonymous

A Deadly Gift by fandomgalore

M | One shot | Under 1k

Christmas was a horribly muggle tradition, and thus not one Tom was inclined to participate in. Hermione did like Christmas and she would always give Tom a Christmas present even if he didn’t get her anything. This year she’s giving him his present early.

Rock, Paper, Scissors by provocative_envy

T | One shot | 1k

It had been unprecedented, and their courtship had consisted of almost nothing but thinly-veiled threats and coldly-delivered insults—there had been screaming matches in the Transfiguration corridor, a rather memorable month of increasingly creative hexes over breakfast, and a peculiarly understated admission of mutual attraction on Christmas morning.

Champion by IM Sterling

M | Complete | 255k

The war is much larger, far longer, and much deeper than they could have imagined: fought on a scale that baffles the limits of human understanding. In such a world, perhaps it isn't surprising when Hermione Granger is sent back in time to rescue Tom Riddle's soul before he has the chance to destroy it. Rated M.

A quiet sense of something lost by starshocks

M | WIP | 18k

If the fates could cry then their tears would rain like comets, tearing open the dark night in a flash of unchecked emotion. - Over and over again, Magic's children feed the earth, their blood and tears soaking into the foundations of their broken world. Fate is broken quietly, timelines shattered for two souls circle each other, never quite touching, but always close. Magic wonders: if they are brought together, will they calm each other's storm? Or will they stoke the other’s fire? 

Chasing Infinity by Vofastadum

M | Complete | 17k

Everyone knows what happens to Tom Riddle who grew up unloved and lonely. He split his soul in chase of immortality, lost himself in the process and became Lord Voldemort. What if she could change that one thing? What if he didn't have to be lonely and unloved? Six-year-old Hermione Granger stands before the doors of a muggle orphanage. She has no memories how she got there, but she's sure this path will lead her somewhere. It does — to Tom

Witching Hour by Lovelyfoxglove

M | WIP | 28k

A girl with wild hair and wilder magic arrives at Wool's Orphanage without warning. She insists that all she knows is that her name is Hermione Granger. She is the first child in the orphanage to have no memories of her past, but she is certainly not the only one with magic. Tom Riddle is surprised to find that the new girl is gifted. He always thought he was the only one with something unique, yet Hermione's very existence tells him that he is not alone with such power. Being proven wrong should annoy him... But only his intrigue grows. Tom decides that he will keep this new arrival as close as possible. He wouldn't want this wicked orphanage to eat her alive, now would he? (HIATUS)

[tomionefinds]

Hey guys, this isn't a criticism at all because I actually really enjoyed the fic, but I saw 'six pomegranate seeds' recommended here and I'm not sure why since it didn't really come off as tomione, but I did enjoy Hermione's characterisation in it. She seemed very pragmatic and rational, is there any more fics like that, but ones with Tomione?

Soooo she wins in Six Pomegranate Seeds and you might not see something quite as decisive a victory in Tomione. Here are some that are a more rational, pragmatic Hermione - Haus

The Pendulum of the Mine by AvaJune

M | Abandoned but worth it | 118k

Tom's fingers slid across her skin as he pulled up her sleeve, feeling irregular bumps and scarring as he watched in fascination as instead of a dark mark, he steadily revealed rune carvings. His eyes flicked back to hers, watching her reaction to his touch. "I will give you this, witch. You are unbearably intriguing," he murmured. Madness flies in the face of logic, and if there is one thing Hermione Granger cannot abide, it's things that defy logic. There is always something against her, this time the very laws of time and space. There is, however, a truth she now knows about herself; she isn't quite the rule girl she once thought she was. *Hermione - Tom Riddle. AU, Post Battle of Hogwarts* Hiatus, Not Abandoned

Strange Attractors by Mistakes_and_Experiments

M | WIP | 598k

Unspeakable Granger wakes up with missing memories in Hogwarts...in 1942. Hermione might not remember much, but she knew that even post-Voldemort, there were many wannabe dark lords she and her friends had to fight against. The world wasn't automatically sunshine and roses just because they've defeated Voldemort. Also, go back? What go back? If she doesn't even know how she got here with all the wounds she had, then there's really no guarantee that a safe way to jump forward exists! Yet the possibilities that are open to her... if she could change the wizarding world half a century earlier, maybe they'd be more prepared against dark lords in the future. Perhaps a better world for the friends she'd left. With this in mind, Hermione Curie (Granger) sets out to use her field healer and master arithmancer abilities to the fullest (if she had to invent a couple of things earlier than they actually happened in her old future, so be it). Not to mention that in her very-biased-opinion, the wizarding world needs to be dragged out of its old prejudices, kicking and screaming if necessary. But who is that particular prefect? Her mind itches at seeing him…

A broken time turner shouldn't have sent me back so far. It was unprecedented. Stepping on it--smashing it--nothing should have happened. At most, I should have lost a week.

Dying is a Delicate Moment by agariddla_andhernachos

M | WIP | 299k

Tom was now standing straight, looking right at her. He was supposed to be horrified by what he just witnessed. He was supposed to feel sick from the images still flashing through his mind. Tom knew she was manipulative and cunning, always a step ahead of everyone and sometimes even himself. Still, he felt like meeting her for the first time on this night for she was not a flame as he thought at the beginning but an entire wildfire. And he was basking in her blazing heat. He looked at the scar on her neck. He must have looked at it hundreds of times yet he truly saw it for the first time. The scar he knew she bore below her coat, the one the purple spell carved, the one he felt and bled through his shirt was right there. And he felt the sudden urge to touch it. She was standing in front of him in all of her glory and she was magnificent.

He’s brilliant, gorgeous, and absolutely devoted to her. He’s perfect for her in every way, and her life is so much better with him in it. Everything is perfect with Tom. Completely perfect. Except… Except he knows things he shouldn't. Except there are four missing Quidditch players who stood her up and then vanished. Except Tom has a closet door that’s only sometimes there.

A baby that blinked at her, making slightly hard labored breaths as if he was about to cry. A baby that she had come to kill. For it was not just any baby that now was wiggling little fingers as if to grab at her. She felt tears slipping out of her eyes. He would become Voldemort. He would take everything from her. Her wand shook even more so than before, her grip loosened by the sweat forming on her palm. She had to do this…

Things go wrong, one after the other, but Hermione is nothing if not resourceful. Harry dies? She builds a time-turner to fix it. The time-turner flings her 40 years further back than she intended? She'll adopt Tom Riddle and love the evil out of him, ensuring he'll never go after Harry in the first place. Dumbledore unexpectedly dies before he can take out Grindelwald? Well...that one might be a bit trickier to fix, but she'll manage. Somehow. She just needs to keep the teenage Dark Lord who's convinced himself he's in love with her at arm's length while training him to take on Grindelwald in Dumbledore's stead. Everything will work out.

Happy House by screamingmandrakes

Lord Voldemort cries. No, not Voldemort: Tom cries. Swaddled in grey blankets, a battered baby mobile spins idly above his crib as he shrieks. Chipped, faded yellow stars dangle from it, doing nothing to soothe the wailing infant. The windows rattle as thunder booms on the horizon, and the world around them kisses the day goodnight as the sun descends from sight. Pitiful attempts of joy fill the room: cracked paint peels from poorly painted rainbows on the wall, and the distant chime of a lullaby bleeds in from the hallway. This is no place to hope, yet Hermione does anyway.

Unspeakable Granger wakes up with missing memories in Hogwarts...in 1942. Hermione might not remember much, but she knew that even post-Voldemort, there were many wannabe dark lords she and her friends had to fight against. The world wasn't automatically sunshine and roses just because they've defeated Voldemort. Also, go back? What go back? If she doesn't even know how she got here with all the wounds she had, then there's really no guarantee that a safe way to jump forward exists! Yet the possibilities that are open to her... if she could change the wizarding world half a century earlier, maybe they'd be more prepared against dark lords in the future.

Hermione thinks there’s something not quite right with the new defence against the dark arts professor. Something that has very little to do with his unorthodox teaching methods, nor his penchant for dark magic. No, there’s something not quite right with the sense of recognition she feels when she looks at him- recognition she can’t quite place, unnerving in a way she can’t describe.
