Present Imperfect (гет)

Sequel to Past Imperfect. Becky Snape and Gus Longbottom are thick as thieves and just as sneaky. What was supposed to be a lark—a trip to the past with Hermione's old Time Turner—turns ruinously wrong when they return to a dark, dystopian present where nothing is as it should be. The frame involves next gen characters, but the dystopia they create is all about Hermione, Draco, and Portrait Severus—back because this is a dark, nasty, Voldy-wins AU. The alternate timeline middle chapters are a shameless Dramione—dark, romantic, and oh-so-angsty. But fear not—there’s comedy even in the dark parts, and it lightens way up at the end. I am primarily a rom-com writer, after all, even if I do sometimes wander into dark and twisty woods on the way to the HEA.
