In the Shadow of You | Hogwarts Legacy by ravenclaair

After the turmoil faced in your fifth year, you want nothing more than a normal life. After spending a quiet summer in Hogsmeade, trying to outrun the shadows of the past, you return to Hogwarts excited (and slightly apprehensive) for your sixth year. But being back at Hogwarts has stirred up trouble... Not only are you still trying to live down your reputation as "Hogwarts' Savior," but rumors have begun circling about your...relationships? 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! No name/descriptions given * Romance subplot with Sebastian Sallow (friends to lovers, mutual pining, slow burn, fluff, sfw!!!) * CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR HL: Story deviates from the events of the main quest after Ranrok's defeat

The Unraveling by beewitcheed

Our bond was formed long before we met, as if a string had been tied to our wrists, connecting us at birth... It is something beyond us, beyond this life... We were destined to meet, destined to love, destined to be together, right now, right here... Our bond was formed long before we met, Infinite, never unraveling. If you told Adelia Miltin a few years ago that witches and wizards existed, she would have called you mad. Yet, here she was, about to enter a school meant for aspiring witches and wizards as a new 7th year student. She thought her only worries were going to be taking care of her ailing grandmother, not learning how to fly a broom. Not only will she have to traverse through the halls of Hogwarts, but she will also have to navigate her new life filled with Ancient Magic, budding friendships, and an insufferable Slytherin named Sebastian Sallow. If you told Sebastian Sallow that his semester would start with a failed duel on his part, he would have called you a liar. Yet, here he was, named second-best by the hands of a new student, someone who could hardly hold their wand correctly. He thought his biggest worries this year were going to be discovering what happened to his parents, but now he also must fight for his title as best duelist back from an incompetent Hufflepuff named Adelia Miltin. ------- This is a slow burn Sebastian x fMC fic that will explore life before the curse and develop characters and relationships. This may be a slow read with a few episodic chapters since I want the reader to feel like they are going to school with the characters. There will be plenty of fluff in the beginning and angst in later chapters. While the fic does follow the main storyline from the game, I have added/removed/changed events/characters to suit my story. Please read the warnings and rights BEFORE starting this story! Thank you for your support! 😊

Oblivion // Sebastian Sallow by Striderwitch

~ 𝕊𝕙𝕖 𝕙𝕒𝕕 𝕞𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕕 𝕠𝕟. ℍ𝕖 𝕟𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣 𝕥𝕣𝕦𝕝𝕪 𝕕𝕚𝕕. ~ «⋅✦⋅» (Warning: Sequel) Five years after Avelina and Sebastian went their separate ways, they find themselves unexpectedly reunited at the very place their story began: Hogwarts. No longer students but professors, they've spent years pretending to forget what once sparked between them. But something strange is stirring in the castle's ancient halls. Magic is fading. Wands fail to spark. They were oblivious once, to what they had, to what they lost, and to what still lingers between them. Now, as memories rise and magic fails, they must ask: can love survive when everything else is slipping into oblivion? Avelina: "Sebastian started working at Hogwarts." Silence. Then- "Are you-are you fucking with me right now?" I cringed. "Nope." "Sebastian Sallow?" I nodded slowly, dreading the inevitable fallout. "As in the Sebastian Sallow? The one you used to sneak into every cupboard, closet, and shadowy corridor you could find to rub against like you'd been possessed by some demon?" "Viv, please," I hissed, nearly choking on my tea. "Keep your bloody voice down." Sebastian: And him. That bloody peacock in a suit, down on one knee like he was offering her the goddamn moon. I didn't want to care. I didn't want to feel this. It's been five bloody years. Five years since she left. Since we said we didn't hate each other anymore and then didn't say anything else at all. I couldn't keep letting her live in my head like she still belonged to me. Because she didn't. Not anymore. «⋅✧⋅» Ratings: #1 Sallow

Allurement | Sebastian Sallow by ColetteNing

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.

The Whisper || Sebastian Sallow Fanfic by misspurrple

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 💜

Entangled || Sebastian Sallow by StarryEyesJewel

Sebastian Sallow, one of the most handsome, eligible bachelors at Hogwarts (and certified player, next to his bestie Ominis Gaunt), develops a crush on the popular new Fifth Year girl he befriends. But her attention is... elsewhere. His rizz is on fire, so why isn't she head over heels for him like the rest of the female population at school? Our MC (Juliet Brooks) becomes entangled in lust, drama, and danger soon after entering Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a new student. She had a pretty rough Fifth Year, dealing with fuckbois and ancient magic, so when she returns for her Sixth Year, she is a moody bitch. But Sebastian still wants her... all of her. What does it take for him to finally ask her out? Based on a combo of plots and scenes from classic teen movies and romcoms (including some of the sassy dialogue), this story has humor, fluff, explicit smut, ghost sex, friends to lovers trope, and all the usual co-ed boarding school angst. *** "It sounds like we share some similar traits when it comes to handling women..." Ominis smirked. "But classic Sebastian, he is far less patient than I am. He wouldn't allow you to get away with your bratty behaviour, Jules," his voice dropped low. "Oh, he'd punish you for that, darling. But trust me, you'd LIKE it." I felt like I'd been shocked with a cow prod, tingles coursed throughout my body, pooling between my legs. I walked away from Ominis, a little stunned, as I returned to the Potions station with a jar of tar in my hands. "Ah, good job," Sebastian smiled at me encouragingly, his praise almost making me choke. *** Sebastian Sallow fan fiction [Hogwarts Legacy] Hogwarts Legacy spoilers within! Everyone is aged up 18+ throughout this fanfic. Mature audience only, please! It gets very spicy!

Passion // Sebastian Sallow by Striderwitch

~ 𝔸 𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕥𝕖𝕣 𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕥𝕒𝕜𝕖 𝕙𝕖𝕣 𝕒𝕨𝕒𝕪. ℍ𝕚𝕤 𝕤𝕚𝕝𝕖𝕟𝕔𝕖 𝕞𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕝𝕖𝕥 𝕚𝕥. ~ After the events of Hogwarts Legacy, Vanity Steel thought life at Hogwarts might finally settle into something resembling normalcy. But as her sixth year begins, it becomes clear that some things-like the undeniable pull between her and Sebastian Sallow-are far from over. Having made the choice to keep him at Hogwarts instead of turning him over to Azkaban, Vanity hoped they could rebuild their friendship. Instead, Sebastian has been distant, haunted by guilt and secrets, while Vanity is left to wonder if she did the right thing. This is the untold story of what happens after the dust settles-a journey of raw emotion, fierce loyalty, and a love that refuses to be ignored. For anyone who ever wondered, "What comes next?" this is the answer. ---- "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." She jolted, quickly looking away, feeling her cheeks burn as she forced herself to sit up straighter. "I-I wasn't staring, I was just... regaining my balance." He chuckled softly, but didn't press further. "How long was I out?" she asked. ---- This story includes 18+ content and spicy scenes, uncluding breeding kink and hand fetishes. Because of that the characters are 18+. Cover Creds: Audra1890 Ratings: #1 Sebastiansallowfanfic
