*SPOILERS FOR HOGWARTS LEGACY*

You are currently Sebastian Sallow's favorite thing to tease. Seeing your face flush with every suggestive comment he makes has become a highlight of his day. But what happens when his dark path pushes you farther and farther away from him?

- This is a slow burn! I have a general direction of where this is going. prepare for eventual heartbreak and indecision! Maybe eventually more than fluff as they get older? Marking mature just in case fr fr
ALSO I promise my writing will get better with each chapter. I'm rusty af

~ 𝕊𝕙𝕖 𝕙𝕒𝕕 𝕞𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕕 𝕠𝕟. ℍ𝕖 𝕟𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣 𝕥𝕣𝕦𝕝𝕪 𝕕𝕚𝕕. ~ «⋅✦⋅» (Warning: Sequel) Five years later, Avelina and Sebastian find themselves unexpectedly reunited at the very place their story began: Hogwarts. No longer students, but professors. But something is wrong. Magic is... strange. All magic, except for Avelina's. Naturally, she decides to find out why... until a familiar voice behind her offers to come along. They were oblivious once-to what they had. Now forced to work together again, they must figure things out quickly... before everything, including their long forgotten love begins 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. «⋅✧⋅» Grumpy x Sunshine | Sebastian Sallow x OC | First Person POV | Dual POV Mature content (18+).

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. Sebastian Sallow x Female Slytherin OC Third person POV | 7th Year | 18+ characters | Academic rivals to lovers [ This story loosely follows the plot of Sebastian's quest line and will contain spoilers to the Hogwarts Legacy game.

The Unraveling by beewitcheed
17 parts Ongoing Mature
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! 😊

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 💜

~ 𝕊𝕙𝕖 𝕨𝕒𝕟𝕥𝕖𝕕 𝕙𝕚𝕞 𝕘𝕠𝕟𝕖. ℍ𝕖 𝕨𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕𝕟'𝕥 𝕝𝕖𝕥 𝕙𝕖𝕣 𝕘𝕠.~ There is no person in the world Sebastian Sallow hates more than Avelina Black. Ask Avelina and she'd say the same about him. Sebastian blames her for failing to cure his sister Anne. Avelina blames him for ever placing that burden on her in the first place. They've spent years avoiding each other-until an Azkaban escapee attacks, demanding the strange necklace Avelina wears. Her uncle, the Hogwarts headmaster, sends her on a dangerous quest to uncover why. And insists Sebastian go with her as her protector. «⋅✧⋅» Enemies to Lovers | Sebastian Sallow x OC | First person POV | Dual POV Mature content (18+). Please read the introduction for trigger warnings, themes, and additional information before diving in. Avelina: "Quite frankly, Viv, I'd rather poke my eyes out with my wand than spend an entire evening with Sebastian Sallow!" I spat, my anger flaring. "I know, I'm sorry," Viv said, looking slightly guilty. "But it'll be good for you. You don't have to talk to him, just hang out with Liam." I shook my head in disbelief. "This is the worst day ever," I muttered. "I'm not going." Sebastian: And then, a thought slid into my mind that I didn't even try to suppress. I wanted to flip her over, put her on all fours, bury myself inside her, and fuck the hell out of her until she forgot her own name. The moment the thought crossed my mind, I froze. What the fuck? No. I hate her, I mean I do still, right? «⋅✦⋅» Ratings: #1 Academicrivals #2 Sebastiansallowfanfic #4 Sebastiansallow

As the reader a hufflepuff and Sebastian try to understand and navigate new found feelings for each other that grow in intensity. Sebastian also struggled to suppress a dark side of himself that he unleashed his 5th year. It revolves around 2 POVS. You as the reader and inside Sebastians head as well. It does have very heavy spicy moments but also fluff as well. Its story based and my Interpretation of future evens following the game and Sebastians quest line. This story line takes place in 7th year of Hogwarts legacy 2 years after the battle with ranrok to be able to age up characters as well as to not have to retell the game. (Clearly we chose not to turn him in since he is not expelled.) though you all still worry what he is capable of. *TRIGGER WARNINGS* Detailed sexual content Abandonment Teen Pregnancy scare This is my first go at fan fiction but I truly love creative writing. I will put warnings at the top of pages containing explicit content. Thank you everyone enjoy I can't wait for feedback ❤️
