The small town of St. Ives is shrouded by mist and mountains, its secrets sitting heavy on Ominis Gaunt's shoulders. His lifelong friendship with Miradevi Lakshmi colors the darkness that saturates his world, and relieves him when the weight of what he does to keep her safe threatens to crush him. All he wants is to get her as far away from the town as possible, but ancient pacts bound in blood and the darkness of his family's history keep his hands devastatingly tied. A string of disappearances and whispers of an ancient legend make Mira question her best friend and the secrets he keeps from her- and Ominis Gaunt finds out that nothing in the town of St. Ives stays buried for long. The woods grow hungry, and it is all Ominis can do to keep himself and the woman he loves from being brutally devoured.

[COMPLETE] A comprehensive guide on how to turn the good guys bad. Canon divergent, slow burn, mutual pining, idiots in love. ~x~ Aurélie Collins wishes she were invisible. Unfortunately, despite her best efforts to appear normal, there are a great many unusual things about the red-haired girl from France: she's the only transfer student Hogwarts has seen in recent memory, she has an absolutely abysmal sense of direction, and - though she desperately wishes she couldn't - she can wield an ancient and highly unstable form of rare magic. When tragedy rips her from her life of opulence at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, Aurélie is unceremoniously thrust into the freezing cold Scottish Highlands to finish her final year at Hogwarts, where the castle's floor plan is impossible to navigate, obsession with gossip runs prevalent among the student body, and it's freezing bloody cold - all the time. Worse still, she finds herself unable to escape the unwavering attention of Sebastian Sallow. Tall, handsome and infuriatingly arrogant, the Slytherin Quidditch captain is convinced he's the greatest thing to ever walk the halls of Hogwarts, is best friends with a Gaunt, and, to Aurélie's endless irritation, does not want to let her out of his sight. Ever. But when the horrors of her past threaten to catch up with her, Aurélie must make a choice: tap into the magical abilities she's tried so hard to suppress and put her trust in the very same Slytherin boy who won't stop antagonising her, or spend her life running and hiding from those who tore her life apart in France. Will she step into the power she was born to wield to protect herself and those she loves? And will Sebastian Sallow prove himself to be more of an ally than she could have ever imagined?

And to make matters worse, your sleep has been plagued by nightmares, your ancient magic gone dormant. Just when you suspect your desperate attempts at normalcy couldn't get any worse, you begin to have a war in your mind with an unknown enemy, seeking an object with the potential to cause irreversible damage. There's another ominous threat to the safety of Hogwarts, but you've had your fair share of heroism. The wizarding world is in the capable hands of a sixth year student. What could possibly go wrong? ⋆。°✩ * FMC, Ravenclaw House (she/her pronouns used) * Self-insert!

Nine years after the events of Hogwarts Legacy, Sebastian Sallow has little hope for a positive future. While serving a life sentence in Azkaban, he managed to escape with the assistance of a terroristic organization of Dark wizards. When the Ministry of Magic eventually caught up with Sebastian, he struck a deal to serve as a double-agent and bring the gang to justice as a means to his freedom. Lonely, traumatized, and depressed, he never imagines his luck will change. But one moonlit night, it does. Fate intervenes in the form of Kate Mayflower, the Hogwarts assistant librarian. Infinitely optimistic and kind, she helps Sebastian find joy and peace again as he regains his humanity and rebuilds his life. While their journey towards happily ever after is a turbulent one, they slowly learn to trust in each other, believe in the power of true love, and heed the lessons from the past in order to grow.

Stella lived in the shadow of her parent's legacy, but she was okay with that. There was no way she could live a more impressive life than Draco and Hermione Malfoy. She accepted it. They both saved the Wizarding World as teenagers. What she couldn't accept was her mother dying. Minister Hermione Malfoy had been cursed with Dark Magic that was slowly sucking the life out of her. Time was running out and the funeral preparations were already being made to Dad's discontent... But Mum didn't have any fight left in her after three years. At least that's what she thought. Stella stumbles upon some hidden archives her mother dug up that talked about an ancient relic that was known for curing Dark Magic. All she had to do was travel to 1898 and locate the last wizard who wrote about it in his journal. Easy? Sounds like it. What she didn't expect was to get involved with a neurodivergent sociopath who plans to use Stella for bait in order to capture the infamous Muggle killer: Jack the Ripper.... But it's either bend to his will or never have the artifact that could cure her mother. Follow Stella as she learns how to catch a killer, navigates the past, and tries not to notice how attractive her new boss is. Love and crime don't mix... Right? Genre: Cold case romance / Very spicy, mature scenes ahead.
