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.

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

It's their seventh year, and you're both turning 18. It's been so long since you've talked to each other- since you've seen each other. Once again, he's the only thing on your mind, and you're not sure what to do about it. How are you supposed to know if he likes you back after all that happened? As you navigate the social aspects of your seventh year, other sinister plots are brewing, right under your nose.

Entangled || Sebastian Sallow by StarryEyesJewel
39 parts Complete Mature
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!

[{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. (Cross Posted to Ao3) (Hogwarts Legacy does not belong to me, only the OCs and plot.)
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.
