For the Love of a Slytherin
Hufflepuff reader, Adelaide Adonis has just started at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Little did she know, she would meet a student who would challenge her to the very core of her beliefs, and yet still make her fall in love with him along the way. Spoilers for the game. It's a telling of the players thoughts/feelings towards the different Sebastian scenarios throughout the game, along with slight changes to the storyline. I don't own anything. Thanks for reading :) Update: I added a new book titled 'For the love of Sebastian Sallow.' This will contain more romance since I will have more creative freedom without following the storyline of the game. It follows the same characters, and some of Adelaide's other friends, only two years later in their final year at Hogwarts.Complete

Take Me Back to Eden
Hogwarts' elite is untouchable-smoke and secrets, blood and betrayal, power and recklessness wrapped in expensive robes and whispered curses. Naia Devoe never belonged in their world. But she was never meant to belong anywhere. When she gets tangled in the lives of Mattheo Riddle, Theo Nott, and Enzo Berkshire, she finds herself drawn into something far more dangerous than late-night parties and stolen cigarettes. There are rules in this game. And breaking them comes at a price. Loyalties will shatter. Blood will spill. And in the end, no one walks away unscathed. "We were never meant to make it, were we?" A story of obsession, destruction, and the kind of love that was never meant to survive.Complete
The Legacy of Our Love
A Hogwarts Legacy story. Follow the adventures of Asra Devorak, as she is whisked away into a world of magic and mystery the day Professor Eleazar Fig discovered her ability to see traces of Ancient Magic. Enrolling in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a fifth year, she must quickly overcome the many challenges that come her way and catch up to her fellow students. Managing this proves to be quite the struggle as threats of a Goblin rebellion, and the unveiling of ancient secrets come at the price of her access to this Ancient Magic. After the encounter with Ranrok at Gringotts, Asra must work alongside Professor Fig to put an end to their plans, before the Ministry has another full scale rebellion on their hands. Not only must she now catch up on five years of magical education and stop a rebellion, but she must do so while her thoughts are more than distracted with her newfound infatuation with her new Slytherin companions; Sebastian Sallow and Ominis Gaunt. This story will follow the events of the game rather closely, with me expanding on certain scenes and plot points I felt the game just did not give us enough material for. If you're looking for plot focused stories with some feral open door romance, you're in the right place! This will be a non-monogamous storyline, because why would I make you choose between our Slytherin boys? This story will include mature themes such as discussions of childhood abuse, traumatic backstories, violence, wound description, sex, substance use/abuse, death, grieving, etc. All characters aged to 18+. We can view Hogwarts as more of a Univeristy school for older students for the sake of my morality.Complete

The Unyielding Ravenclaw of Birmingham
CURRENTLY BEING REWRITTEN. She's a Shelby. Trouble runs in her blood. Dragged from Birmingham to Hogwarts, Larissa Shelby carries more than her family's notorious name-she carries ancient magic the wizarding world thought was long buried. But Hogwarts is not all as it seems. Curses whisper through the shadows, relics hunger for blood, and every choice drags her closer to the edge. Enter Sebastian Sallow: clever, infuriating, impossible to ignore. He's as reckless as she is sharp-tongued, and together with Ominis Gaunt, they're pulled into a spiral of secrets Hogwarts was never meant to reveal. As Larissa flirts with power-and danger-she has to ask herself: is she carving her own path, or stepping into the darkness her family was born to rule? Because at Hogwarts, survival isn't about following the rules. It's about rewriting them.

Allurement | Sebastian Sallow
The year is 1892. Liya Chang, a Slytherin student in Hogwarts, possesses a rare ability to harness ancient magic. Yet, as the powerful force surges within her, she realises that this power is a double edged sword - she must quickly learn to control it, before it controls her. On the other side of the spectrum, Sebastian Sallow will do whatever it takes to find a cure for his sister, Anne, who was brutally cursed - even if that meant meddling in the dark arts. An unlikely friendship was forged between two fierce academic rivals. Liya and Sebastian, like two moths drawn to the flame, find themselves navigating a dangerous path together. Can they defeat the adversaries that lie in their way, or will they succumb to the magic they failed to control? Surely they should know that power corrupts... Power absolutely corrupts.
