Sebastian Sallow and Gracelyn Marwood have always been partners in crime, best friends, and the source of each other's greatest mischief. But as they enter their final year at Hogwarts, something shifts. Teasing glances linger too long, friendly duels grow heated, and unspoken words threaten to break the delicate balance they've built.

Sebastian is usually confident and a flirt, yet utterly infuriating when it comes to romance. Gracelyn is self-confident, radiant, and yet only one who can make him falter in his steps. When jealousy sparks, secret feelings unravel, and choices lead them down unexpected paths, they're forced to confront the undeniable-this has never been just friendship.

From the tension-filled halls of Hogwarts to stolen moments in the Undercroft, from whispered promises by the lake to the life waiting beyond the castle walls, their love is a slow-burning, all-consuming fire. But Sebastian's past haunts him, and his greatest fear isn't the darkness he once embraced-it's his own mind telling him he doesn't deserve her. 

Will he finally let himself have the future he never thought possible? Or will his fear of falling cost him the one person who's always been willing to catch him?

Friends to something more. The best kind of madness.

A Ballad of Snakes and Shadows [Dark Sebastian Sallow x MC] by Crepuscu1um
60 parts Complete Mature
[{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 dark... and inspired by an idea of Sebastian being something heinous... 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.

~ 𝔸 𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕥𝕖𝕣 𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕥𝕒𝕜𝕖 𝕙𝕖𝕣 𝕒𝕨𝕒𝕪. ℍ𝕚𝕤 𝕤𝕚𝕝𝕖𝕟𝕔𝕖 𝕞𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕝𝕖𝕥 𝕚𝕥. ~ After the events of Hogwarts Legacy, Vanity Steel thought life at Hogwarts might finally settle into something resembling normalcy. But as her sixth year begins, it becomes clear that some things-like the undeniable pull between her and Sebastian Sallow-are far from over. Having made the choice to keep him at Hogwarts instead of turning him over to Azkaban, Vanity hoped they could rebuild their friendship. Instead, Sebastian has been distant, haunted by guilt and secrets, while Vanity is left to wonder if she did the right thing. This is the untold story of what happens after the dust settles-a journey of raw emotion, fierce loyalty, and a love that refuses to be ignored. For anyone who ever wondered, "What comes next?" this is the answer. ---- "Alright, just take it easy," he said, resting a hand on her thigh without a second thought, a reassuring touch meant to ground her. But for Vanity, the warmth of his hand on her leg was electric. Her eyes were drawn to it, her mind racing with thoughts she couldn't stop, thoughts she didn't dare say aloud. He must have noticed her staring, because he smirked, glancing at her. "What? My hand doesn't bite, I promise." She jolted, quickly looking away, feeling her cheeks burn as she forced herself to sit up straighter. "I-I wasn't staring, I was just... regaining my balance." He chuckled softly, but didn't press further. "How long was I out?" she asked. ---- This story includes 18+ content and spicy scenes, uncluding breeding kink and hand fetishes. Because of that the characters are 18+. Cover Creds: Audra1890 Ratings: #1 Sebastiansallowfanfic

~ 𝕊𝕙𝕖 𝕨𝕒𝕟𝕥𝕖𝕕 𝕙𝕚𝕞 𝕘𝕠𝕟𝕖. ℍ𝕖 𝕨𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕𝕟'𝕥 𝕝𝕖𝕥 𝕙𝕖𝕣 𝕘𝕠.~ «⋅✦⋅» Avelina Black hated Sebastian Sallow more than she hated the world itself. For her, life had always been about duty and appearances, living up to her family's name. As her 7th year at Hogwarts begins, she knows that all she has to do is survive a few more months in his presence. That is, until an escapee from Azkaban attacks, demanding her mother's necklace. This pushes Avelina into a situation she never expected: depending on the very person she swore to despise, Sebastian. But as danger looms and truths unravel, Avelina can no longer deny the undeniable, Sebastian isn't quite what she thought. And perhaps, in spite of everything, she doesn't hate him after all. «⋅✧⋅» Spite is an enemies-to-lovers Sebastian Sallow x OC fanfic featuring dual POVs from Avelina and Sebastian as they navigate their tangled emotions, sharp banter, and undeniable tension-all wrapped in vivid, mature (18+) content. 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
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!
