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, enemies-friends-lovers 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.

Unbroken Bonds | Sebastian Sallow x Reader by kkynareth
18 parts Ongoing
"You think shutting me out will fix everything?" My voice trembled, frustration and hurt bubbling to the surface. "That disappearing, keeping secrets, pushing everyone away, that it'll somehow make this right?" Sebastian's jaw clenched, his gaze fierce. "I'm doing what I have to do. You wouldn't understand." I took a step closer, refusing to let him slip away this time. "Then try me," I shot back. "Don't just stand there and say I wouldn't understand when you won't even give me the chance." For a moment, neither of us moved, the charged air between us feeling thick enough to choke on. His dark, angry eyes bore into mine, flickering with something I couldn't quite place. It was as if he was silently pleading, trying to find an answer in me, searching for a lifeline he couldn't put into words. I felt my breath hitch as his shoulders dropped ever so slightly, the fight in him faltering. Then, as though some unseen barrier had shattered, he closed the distance between us in a single, unguarded moment. His hands gripped my arms, steadying me as his lips met mine in a collision of emotion that left no room for hesitation. --- As their final year at Hogwarts begins, Y/N is determined to leave the past behind--until Sebastian Sallow returns, bringing with him the weight of a cursed artefact and a desperate mission to save his sister, Anne. Bound by loyalty and a shared history, Y/N and Sebastian must navigate a treacherous web of dark magic, strained friendships, and their own haunted hearts, confronting not only the secrets of the artefact but also the unyielding bond that ties their fates together. --- Disclaimer: The characters, settings, and world featured in this story are based on the game Hogwarts Legacy.

No Choice But You // Ominis Gaunt x Reader by c0nfring0
51 parts Complete Mature
HOGWARTS LEGACY SPOILERS AHEAD!! Ominis x Reader fanfiction is based in their seventh year. All characters have been aged up to 18 years of age where explicit content is involved. Written from the perspective of fem Slytherin y/n. ---------- Sebastian has been sent to Azkaban. Of course, Ominis blames you--it's only natural after everything that happened in your fifth year. For the entirety of your sixth year, Sebastian was at Azkaban. While Ominis understood that it was a necessary action to take considering what Sebastian did, he didn't forget that you encouraged it, or that you partook in the dark arts yourself. It was against everything he stood for. He warned you every step of the way, and neither you nor Sebastian listened to his warnings. By a stroke of luck, the ministry has decided to give Sebastian a second chance. He gets to come back to Hogwarts for his seventh year of schooling. Ominis is still Sebastian's friend, but he wants to keep you away from him at all costs. He hates you for what you did to his best friend. On a happy note, St. Mungos finally found a cure for Anne Sallow's curse, and she's back at Hogwarts for her seventh year as well. Your friendship with her blossoms, and makes it even harder for Ominis to stay away from you. Even though he hates you, he can't deny the attraction between the two of you. Everything changed one night at a party in the Slytherin common room when you two come in close contact. But can he fight his feelings and stay away from you? ---------- TRIGGER WARNINGS: Sexual Content: 5/10 Mental Illnesses: 7/10 Violence: 3/10 Self Harm: 6/10

[{COMPLETED}] **PLEASE SEE LIST OF WARNINGS AND TRIGGERS BEFORE READING** It's been three years since Ominis and I made the choice for Sebastian - to send him away. The consequences of our actions have the shadows talking back. Their voices are lovely, alluring, and most of all sinful. With their wicked tongues, they offer a temptation I may not be able to refuse. I can't help but wonder if we made the wrong choice. *** This is a dark enemies to enemy/lovers romance for Sebastian Sallow, and my OC Hyacinth "Hattie" Hills that takes place during her last year at Hogwarts. She is still in the throws of recovering from her first year, heavily stricken with the grief and trauma it caused her. Now that she's begun to heal, there's a shadow stalking the grounds that threatens to undo all of that progress. All participating characters are 18+, as this is set a bit in the future and with an added year at Hogwarts. This work contains many dark themes and triggers. There is some Ominis/OC but this is not for the Ominis girlies, unless you want to see him hurt. This fic is heavily inspired by Zade Meadows, and a thirst for the darkness. TW: Stalking, Obsession, CNC, Death, Trauma, Knife Play, Blood Play, Edging, Cuckhold, Orgasm Denial, Mirror Play, Spit Play, Heavy S&M, Face Fucking, Verbal Humiliation, Primal Play, Breeding Kink, Degradation, Sebastian is Cruel, We are going to traumatize Ominis Gaunt, ect....and will add others down the road, it's a lot to tag. You can find a full list of tags/warnings on the Ao3 copy of this fic and I will be adding warnings to every chapter that involve heavier themes. Each chapter title is based off of songs that inspired them, creating its own ballad - there is a link in the intro/warning chapter.
