The Secrets || Sebastian Sallow POV fanfic
The world thinks I'm the arrogant one. The rule-breaker. The charming duelist who gets away with everything. They're not wrong. But no one knows what's at stake when I look at Anne. No one knows what I've done. What I'll still do. I made a promise. One I intend to keep. Not for the Headmaster. Not for the school. Not even for the girl with the violet eyes and the clever mouth who's stumbled straight into my path. Qynna Veilinharv. She wasn't here before. Now she's exactly where I need her. She casts spells like she's never learned them, argues like a Slytherin, blushes like a Hufflepuff, and hides things like the world depends on it. I should have left her alone. I didn't. She keeps walking straight into my plans, and every time she does, it becomes easier to let her. The closer she gets, the more I can see what she's made of. And the truth is, some part of me likes watching her try. Even if she never realises how deep she's wandered. Even if, by the time she does, it's already too late. Includes: ✨ Secrets, lies, and very bad decisions ✨ A meddling, mysterious girl with more power than she knows ✨ A cocky protagonist who absolutely has a fan club ✨ A slow descent into dark magic Sebastian Sallow x Fem!OC (but replace "Qynna" and "Veilinharv" with your own OC if you wish- we're all secretly shifting anyway.) ⚠️ Trigger Warnings This story includes themes of grief, terminal illness, death, PTSD, anxiety, depression, obsession, self-harm, light intimacy, violence, blood, dark magic, alcoholism, and emotional ruin. Spoilers for Hogwarts Legacy throughout. Game scenes may appear with new context, expanded dialogue, or darker consequences. Leave comments, theories, chaos, pain.

The Whisper || Sebastian Sallow Fanfic
SLOOOOOOW BURN 🔥 Just a heads up 👍 Shifting wasn't supposed to be real. And yet - here I am. At Hogwarts. Face to face with him. Qynna Veilinharv was just another obsessed gamer. She knew every spell combo, every Sebastian Sallow line, and every bad decision he made in Hogwarts Legacy. She watched his story crumble again and again. Until it hurt too much to keep watching. So she did something reckless. Something impossible. She shifted. Now? She's a fifth-year student at Hogwarts. With no wand skills, no magical training, and an absolutely catastrophic crush on the boy she tried to save. Sebastian Sallow. The reason she's here - is darker, messier, and far more real than she ever imagined. He's not a romance option anymore. He's just a boy... with too many secrets. Fixing his story was supposed to be simple. But surviving in this world? Not so much. Goblins. Trolls. Dueling clubs. A castle full of students she has to fool into thinking she belongs. And a boy who's already breaking. If she's not careful, he'll take her down with him. Sebastian x OC (but feel free to replace "Qynna" and "Veilinharv" with your own name. We're all delulu here.) ⚠ Content Warnings: Includes themes of death, mental health struggles (depression, PTSD, anxiety), violence, terminal illness, injury, trauma, light intimacy, dark magic, strong language, and emotional whiplash. Spoilers for Hogwarts Legacy throughout. Canon game scenes appear with dialogue/setting references, expanded and reimagined with original material. Author's Note: This fic is written like a shifting script with teeth. It's messy. It's heartfelt. It's funny in a "laugh so you don't cry" way. Comments are more than welcome. I'd be glad if you do. Thank you for reading. - misspurrple 💜Complete
Passion | Sebastian Sallow
Sixth year was supposed to be a fresh start, but Sebastian Sallow has been pulling away, and Vanity Steel can't figure out why. When a night out brings them back together, they fall into an unexpected fake relationship that quickly becomes something far more complicated. But just as everything begins to feel real, Vanity is given a once in a lifetime opportunity. The only catch? If she takes it, she has to leave Sebastian behind. And she has no idea the relationship was never fake to him at all. ---- "Alright, just take it easy," he said, resting a hand on her thigh without a second thought, a reassuring touch meant to ground her. But for Vanity, the warmth of his hand on her leg was electric. Her eyes were drawn to it, her mind racing with thoughts she couldn't stop, thoughts she didn't dare say aloud. He must have noticed her staring, because he smirked, glancing at her. "What? My hand doesn't bite, I promise." ---- This story includes 18+ content and spicy scenes, uncluding breeding kink and hand fetishes. Because of that the characters are 18+.

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.

In the Shadow of the Past
In their sixth year at Hogwarts, a shadow hangs over the corridors-because Ginevra Wood (Own Character) and Sebastian Sallow are haunted by their past at every turn. What began as a fragile friendship turns into a battle against guilt, old scars, and new secrets. While the darkness of past decisions weighs heavily on Sebastian's heart, hope grows between classes, secret meetings of the Crossed Wands, and the search for a cure for Anne, hope that no one dares to admit. But nothing is forgotten at Hogwarts-and it takes more than courage to survive in the shadow of the past. Who dares to look behind the masks? Who shines when secrets threaten to absorb everything? Discover how much light is hidden in the shadows of the past-and whether loyalty brings hope or destroys everything. Note: This is a translation, to the best of my knowledge and belief, of my fan fiction, which I write in German. I would be very grateful for any suggestions for improvement regarding the language (or ideas for the storyline)!
