6th year Sebastian Sallow has an unhealthy obsession with new student, Y/n Foxx, and is determined to make her his. As their relationship blossoms, Sebastian plunges himself into the dark arts in hopes of curing his sister's curse. The very same force threatens to consume Y/n after she defeats Ranrok. Will she allow her lover to drag her into the clutches of darkness alongside him, or will she rise above?

This is a Dark Sebastian Sallow x female MC romance story that spans throughout the "In the Shadow" questline of Hogwarts Legacy (spoilers contained), and extends into a story of what happens after Ranrok is subdued. There will also be significant Ominis Gaunt x MC later on. This is not a sweet love story, rather this is a Yandere love story.

Updates will be frequent and through to completion.

*This story is a slight AU where Hogwarts starts at the same age as university, so all characters are aged-up into their 20s. Set in modern times (because at the canon time period a man would pass out from the mere sight of a woman's ankles).

**This book will contain smut, rape/dubcon, drama, violence, and dark themes. So please, 18+ readers only.

***I own nothing. All rights go to Hogwarts Legacy and respective owners. Artwork is not done by me, and all rights go to respective owners.

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

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

Runespoor: Stronger Together by KM_Osiria2565
49 parts Ongoing Mature
- A Hogwarts Legacy Fanfiction - A runespoor is a three-headed snake that stood six to seven feet long; each head served a different purpose: the left - the planner, deciding where to go and what to do, the middle - the dreamer, their mind always daydreaming and imagining things, and the right - the critic, judging both the left and middle heads in their actions and decisions. It won't live long without each other; they're stronger together. - Emelia and Ominis have grown much closer since their Fifth Year and are now halfway through their sixth and things have been in a few words: uneventful and quiet. They've been studying in preparation for their upcoming N.E.W.T.'s, facing vivid nightmares and recollections of the past, and of course, countless school dramas, but when Sebastian Sallow returns from where he can only describe is worse than Hell, it's anything but quiet. As the diamond trio slowly get reacquainted, they'll go on unexpected adventures, fight off against enemies: old and new, while feeling the pressures of their Sixth Year, each one of them having something to prove - both to themselves and to each other. In the process, they'll learn new things about each other that may either bring them closer together or tear them apart. Either way, their bonds are changing into something beyond just a simple relationship. ***Disclaimer: All characters in this are completely fictional - aged up; this is purely for entertaining purposes and what the writer thinks would've happened after Hogwarts Legacy. The publisher doesn't own any photos or music and the information within is based on what they've researched. Inspired by books and gameplay.*** SLYTHERIN X SLYTHERIN X SLYTHERIN ***WARNING: MATURE.

Legacy Disowned - Book 2 by toonedupfiction
23 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.
