***SPOILERS*** This takes place after the "In The Shadow of the Relic" side quest, so if you don't want to be spoiled, stop now!

What if Sebastian needs a place to hide and recover, while his friends figure out how to help him? What if his good friend just so happens to have a place that no one else knows about, where he can rest and heal and work through his issues? And what if, along the way, they find out that their friendship is more than just a friendship? Can love heal all?

Raileigh Malcolm thought there was something strange about the relic that Sebastian had been using, and she wasn't sure her friend was completely in control of his own actions when he used an unforgivable curse. She needed time to figure out the answer before the ministry came calling, and Sebastian needed somewhere to hide. A little bit of good old fashioned hard work might help him, too. And the castle ruins in her vivarium were the perfect place to hide.

Me and the Devil: Sebastian Sallow by mm1997m
135 parts Complete Mature
Sebastian Sallow is a tortured soul with the world on his shoulders whose only mission is to save his sister Anne - at any cost. Atley Barlowe is a budding new witch who also carries the world on her shoulders as she travels the road less traveled to unlock the secrets of her connection to ancient magic. Will the burdens of their lives, minds and souls prove to be too much or can they save each other? Sebastian Sallow x Fem!oc (but please feel free to replace "Atley" with your oc's name and "Barlowe" with your oc's last name in your mind if you'd prefer to read it that way.) Slow burn romance but will slowly become a deep and dark fic filled with heart swelling fluff, chaos, angst, magic, dark magic, romance, friendship, family, twists, turns and all sorts of soul crushing. This will be a LONG fic in order to keep the entirety of the story together - but for new or slow readers - do not worry, chapters are fast paced and kept at a manageable length. Will contain spoilers from the Hogwarts Legacy game. Characters aged up to year seven (18 years old). - *SPOILERS - There will be MANY spoilers for the HL game so read at your own risk ** TW: This story will contain themes of death, struggles in mental health, depression, PTSD, anxiety, violence, a bit of intimacy, terminal illness, blood, alcoholism, injury, self harm, "foul" language - if you are uncomfortable with any of these, please do not read! *** All characters aside from Atley and their likeness are owned, created and trademarked by Warner Bros, Portkey Games, the Wizarding World, etc... all rights to them. Story / original character owned by me. Occasional scenes be taken from the game and use quotes, but my own additions will be added to them. Lastly, thank you for reading and all your support! I don't plan to add many notes of my own but I would LOVE if you would leave your own thoughts, commentary and votes. It's always exciting to feel like I'm reading an annotated book passed around among friends! :)
Return of Sebastian Sallow | 10 Yr After Hogwarts by JuneyMont
148 parts Ongoing Mature
Ten years after I began at Hogwarts, Sebastian Sallow is back. And he's Professor Sallow now. He disappeared after the fall of Ranrok and Rookwood, after I lost Professor Fig, and after Ominis and I couldn't keep him from losing himself. But I never forgot him. As students his darkness kept us apart, and as adults his quest to make amends took him around the world and off the radar while my career with the Ministry kept me close to home. With the unexpected opportunity to reconnect, a wildfire of emotions threatens to bring us close once more. And a mysterious, imminent threat from another land threatens to keep us apart...forever. A story about love, loss, and redemption. CH. 1 Snippet: "I can hear Sebastian's breath grow shallow as he grabs ahold of one of my wrists tightly and I notice a familiar shift that brings a strange glisten to his eye and dark shadow to his brow. I've know that look from before, long ago, in the catacombs and the undercroft. But here it has an intensity that I've never seen. He is voracious and wild --primal, even. Like an old familiar melody, I can almost hear the subtlety of his metered self control that prevents him from becoming completely unhinged. And, oh my god, the realization of how badly he wants me nearly send me off." ---- WARNING: NSFW, Mature | Hogwarts Legacy Fan-fiction | Romance | Contains Hogwarts Legacy Spoilers | F Gryffindor OC / Sebastian Sallow. | M OC / Ominis Gaunt | Steamy Start, Slow Burn
Legacy Disowned - Book 2 by toonedupfiction
22 parts Ongoing Mature
Going into their 6th year at Hogwarts, Maggie Darling, Ominis Gaunt and Sebastian Sallow are hard at work trying do the right thing. They have been searching tirelessly for a way to cure Anne of her curse and find a way to deal with the repository once and for all. These tasks prove more difficult than anticipated forever and ghosts from the past come back to make their missions even more complicated. *** This second book takes place after the events of Hogwarts Legacy, following the story of an original protagonist, the young Miss Darling. We are now in uncharted territory of the story. This is a transformative work based on the Harry Potter franchise by J.K. Rowling and Portkey Games Hogwarts Legacy. Consider this an expansion and a fresh look at the game through an original lense presented in a literary format. *** What to Expect: I highly suggest reading book 1 first. I have left lots of hints and clues to the bigger picture for the series so if you just dive in to two you might be totally lost. Miss Darling comes from an upbringing that makes her a far cry from your typical Hogwarts student. She is very much an anti hero who engages in a lot of questionable behavior but strives to at least try to be a decent person. It is a rotating third person perspective where we will see things through the eyes of many different characters. The story primarily focusses on the Slytherin trio of Darling, Sebastian and Ominis. This is rated mature for violence. While there are some crushes confused and slow burning relationships typical for adolescence our protagonists have quite a bit on their plate so this is first and foremost and action adventure. There will be no nsfw.
