#1 IN KNIGHTS OF WALPURGIS 2025/01/18

"I am not obsessed with you, Riddle. I will carve out your bloody heart and I will laugh at the heavens while doing so."

"Stab me, Witchling. My heart is already your treacherous prisoner. I am nothing if not a captive in your cruel hands, thus it will make no difference if you plunge your dagger into my chest and wrench out my heart, Qadir."

***

When Tom Riddle, the son of a Vampire Hunter, unexpectedly enters the masquerade realm of the heretical, he finds his destiny entangled with the Blood Witch after they try to kill each other. The Hunter and the Witchling join together in an on-and-off game of chess, playing a morbid game of their design. 

As Vampire Coven attacks become more detrimental, Anya starts to descend down a path of madness and sin. She turns to the embrace of darkness, confiding in a demonic knight named Mordred. She ends up with a twisted deal, finding that she must give up her sympathy and kill the one she loves most. 

What happens when she deliberately falls for Tom Riddle, her enemy, in order to kill him? 

Dumbledore and the Ministry will go as far as necessary to stop the ancient darkness she threatens to resurrect, and Anya Qadir will do anything for retribution. Even if it means consuming Amortentia, selling her sympathetic soul, or pushing herself to the brink of madness until she is confined in the walls of an asylum.  

[Inspired by Haunting of Hill House, Hannibal, The Cruel Prince, Shatter Me, The Mara Dyer Trilogy, AHS, TVD]

4 parts Ongoing Mature
You never expected to want Tom Riddle. And he never expected to want you. You were born into power. A name that held weight, a family that demanded perfection. As the eldest daughter of the Hayse bloodline, your future had always been carefully orchestrated-until the night you were summoned downstairs and your fate was sealed. An arranged marriage. A name you knew but a boy you had never truly understood. Tom Marvolo Riddle. Silent, calculating, dangerous. He sat across from you, unreadable as ever, learning of your forced betrothal at the same time you did. But while you wrestled with your emotions, he remained unmoved-at least, on the surface. At Hogwarts, the rumors spread like wildfire. Some believed it was love, others whispered of force, but the truth was the rarest tale of all. You and Tom were bound by duty, trapped in a facade neither of you wanted, yet forced to maintain. But the lines began to blur. In stolen glances, in shared silences, in the moments where you realized the boy with darkness in his veins might not be as indifferent as he seemed. And when he finally let his mask slip, you saw the truth-his desire, his frustration, and the one thing he hated most. That he wanted you. But pretending to love Tom Riddle is one thing. The real problem? You're starting to. And in a world where blood is sacred and betrayal is deadly, love is the most dangerous thing of all. 🔥 Dark Academia | Arranged Marriage | Slow Burn | Power & Legacy | Reader x Tom Riddle 🔥

"Years ago, I met a boy who made all the wrong choices." As orphans, you and Tom Riddle have more in common than having no parental figures in your lives. One day, it turns out that you, too, can use magic, and it changes everything. For better or for worse? Your adventure starts off in Hogwarts, Britain's very own school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where you are to spend the next seven years of your life. You grow and learn, but not always together, and not the same things. During the course of the years, he starts to get more and more involved with the Dark Arts... And you start to realize that there is something very wrong with your friend. As he gets older, he becomes more manipulative, possessive and twisted. He starts to use his powers and his looks to control those around him-including you. Eventually, Tom's true nature is revealed, but by then, it's too late for you. You fall under his spell, completely under his control, and there is nothing anyone could do to save you from the darkness that awaits. *~*~* ♡ A slowburn/sociopathic/dark Tom Marvolo Riddle x F!reader book that centers around both reader's perspective and Tom's fall into madness/rise in influence and power. The 'effects' of Tom's influence become apperent later in the book, so the emotional conflicts/thoughts start later too. ♡ Cross posted on ao3. ♡ I don't claim the Harry Potter characters in any way, the only thing I claim is the plot, some OC's and this, like my other books, are not made to make money off of them. *~*~* Highest ranked: #1 in manipulation #1 in sociopath
