Severus Snape is a recluse. Following the second Wizarding War, he retreated into the shadows, hiding away from everyone and everything. He preferred life that way - solitary, quiet, and uncomplicated. Other than his occasional affiliation with a certain dark wizarding website. One where he can fully be himself and express his rather... preternatural desires... Online he is BlackPotioneer... a man who is sought out for being a retired Death Eater; not one who is feared for it. And when he begins messaging with a very timid Bookworm18, Severus soon learns that, maybe, even the darkest parts of him don't have to stay hidden away forever.

"And who might you be?" His dark eyes darted back and forth between her blue ones, unreadable yet searching and she barely suppressed a shiver. She knew the question was a formality, his tone indicated he knew who she was. At the very least, he knew what she was. "Andy." "Andy." Her name rolled off his tongue, slowly, as if he was savoring the taste. He could have very well been, her heart was pumping very quickly, the scent carrying her fear.

They have it all-power, success, and control. But now, they want something, or rather, someone more. A shy yet resilient woman, never imagined that her path would cross with the infamous De Angeli men. When they set their sights on her, she finds herself drawn into a world of dark desires and irresistible temptation.

Birmingham Central Library, 1930 The hush of the library was not the sort Tommy Shelby was used to. It wasn't the thick, reverent quiet of a church or the loaded silence of a negotiation. It was clean-almost sacred. He walked between tall oak shelves, cigarette tucked behind his ear, and the click of his polished shoes against the floorboards was the only rebellion in the air. He was looking for a record-land deeds, something clerical. Boring, Ada had said. Tommy didn't believe in boring. Every detail had a price, even the dull ones. A voice broke the silence before he saw her. "You can't smoke in here." He turned. She stood beneath a hanging lamp, holding a book with one finger marking her place. Dark eyes-sharp, assessing-met his with the steadiness of someone who had already measured him and found him lacking in something. Or perhaps too full of something else. "I'm not smoking," he replied, deadpan. "Yet." She raised an eyebrow. "Intent counts." Tommy allowed a hint of a smile. "Does it now?" The librarian stepped forward, slipping the book into the crook of her arm. Black hair, neatly pinned, a charcoal blouse tucked into a high-waisted skirt. Elegant. Efficient. Watchful. She looked like she belonged here-among dusty knowledge and forgotten truths. "Do you need assistance," she asked, "or are you just here to test the building's flammability?" "I'm looking for land records," he said. "Early acquisitions. 1918, Birmingham South." Her eyes narrowed, just a fraction. "That section's restricted." "Tell your supervisor I'm Thomas Shelby." She didn't flinch. "I am the supervisor." And then, something shifted. A flicker-not in her expression, but in the air between them. Magic, maybe. A pulse of something not seen, but felt. Tommy's instincts didn't know the word for it. But they knew the smell of power.

A crown in hiding. A chance encounter. A love that breaks every rule. A Bridgerton Love OC × OC

─── Lady Roseanne Hightower, eldest daughter of the Hand of the King and a devout child of the Faith, returns to King's Landing after years in Oldtown. When Queen Aemma dies in childbed, Roseanne becomes an unexpected comfort to the grieving King Viserys I. What begins as solace blossoms into love, and she takes her place beside him as queen. But the crown brings isolation. Princess Rhaenyra rejects her friendship, her father sees her children as pawns, and Roseanne finds herself fiercely protective of the family she has built. Everything shifts when her first love, Prince Daemon Targaryen, returns to court. Following ancient Valyrian custom, Viserys permits Roseanne to take Daemon as her second husband, placing unprecedented power in her hands. "The Mother gives the gift of life and protects the souls of every wife." This prayer has always guided Roseanne's heart. But as factions rise and House Targaryen splinters, she faces an impossible choice: forge peace and protect her children at any cost-or watch helplessly as the realm descends into the Dance of the Dragons. ── ⟢ ・⸝⸝ || Viserys I x OC x Daemon Targaryen || || House of the Dragon S1 & 2 || || #1 - daemon || || #1 - Aegon || || #1 - hightower ||

Rationality said there had to be another Jenny in the Keep, a beautiful Jenny, a Jenny of noble birth that had caught his eye. Not this Jenny. Jenny of nothing and nobody. Jenny who scrubbed hearths and scooped ash and spent her days covered in dust. It just wasn't possible. But even if I knew it had to be some kind of mistake, some kind of impossible fantasy on my part, I stared up at the underside of the table. And smiled. {Mature and explicit} {Aemond x Female OC} {Very possessive and dominant Aemond} {Plus-size OC} {LOTS of romance, angst & drama} {Frequent updates}
