There's a castle on the hill as the story goes, keeping safe a prince and his new wife. A stepmother and her daughters evade the light and the eyes of the castle guards, guarding their terrible secret. An Ashmore has taken the throne, but at what costs? Will this be the final stamp to snuff out the cinder completely, or will strength be found to continue burning, even brighter than before? Dear reader, we shall see.

In the Shadow of the Past by GinevraWood

In their sixth year at Hogwarts, a shadow hangs over the corridors-because Ginevra Wood (Own Character) and Sebastian Sallow are haunted by their past at every turn. What began as a fragile friendship turns into a battle against guilt, old scars, and new secrets. While the darkness of past decisions weighs heavily on Sebastian's heart, hope grows between classes, secret meetings of the Crossed Wands, and the search for a cure for Anne, hope that no one dares to admit. But nothing is forgotten at Hogwarts-and it takes more than courage to survive in the shadow of the past. Who dares to look behind the masks? Who shines when secrets threaten to absorb everything? Discover how much light is hidden in the shadows of the past-and whether loyalty brings hope or destroys everything. Note: This is a translation, to the best of my knowledge and belief, of my fan fiction, which I write in German. I would be very grateful for any suggestions for improvement regarding the language (or ideas for the storyline)! I look forward to hearing from you :-)

The Cursed Prince by 00reader6002

In a kingdom where curses are more than mere fairy tales, an ancient castle stands hidden behind walls of dark thorns, forgotten by all but the bravest and the most foolish. For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal. Once a ruler feared for his power and beauty, he now lies in a spellbound sleep, imprisoned by a vengeful sorceress who demanded a price for his cruelty: eternal rest, unless someone awakens him and binds their fate to his. Mira has never believed in fairy tales. Life in her village is one of harsh reality, where survival depends on wit and willpower. But when her family's future hangs in the balance, she's driven to the one place her people have always feared. Rumors of a sleeping prince and a curse that can be broken are all she has to go on, yet desperation leaves her no choice. But awakening the prince sets a far greater plan in motion, and the darkness she thought she'd face is only the beginning. Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?

The Rune of the Forge: Rebirth in the Lands Between by Toomic45

He died in a workshop, proud of his last creation - a flawless necklace shaped by his own hands. The next second, a gun barrel and two words ended everything: "Nothing personal." When he wakes again, it isn't in the world he knew. The air tastes too alive, the flowers glow too brightly, and the face in the pond is not his own. Obsidian skin. Hair braided like flame. Eyes molten, swirling with fire. Worse - he's a child again. This is the Hinterland, home of the Shaman Village... and the birthplace of Marika, the girl who will one day ascend as goddess of the Golden Order. She is a child too, curious and alone. In this quiet village, an unlikely friendship forms: the girl of fate and the boy of ash. But fate is never gentle. The Hornsent, zealots of the Crucible, will raid the village in fire and blood. Thoryn will fall, his body crumbling to ash and seeping into the earth... only to return centuries later, reforged by the world itself. By then, Marika will no longer be the girl he knew. She will be queen, goddess, and tyrant of Order. And Thoryn Ashblood, the boy reborn in obsidian and flame, will carry his own Rune - the Rune of the Forge - to stand as her rival. Creation or Order. Rebirth or Permanence. The Forge or the Erdtree. The Lands Between will burn anew.

Masquerading by call_me_clover

Prince Leif could not have imagined that the Princess of Aradanas would be kidnapped at her own ball, but that's exactly what happened. Without question of his own safety, Leif and three other prospective suitors, dive blindly into a rescue mission. The way is not easy by any means, and wrought with battles- fought with brawn against soldiers, and with brain against the magical creatures of the wilds between the kingdoms. Their fears are tested, and bonds are formed; something Leif did not expect when he dove into the tunnels under the palace in a race to save the princess and hopefully prevent a war. But what happens when the princess does not need saving after all, and the enemy they chase is not the right one? When secrets are revealed, can Leif trust that the men he's bonded with are who they say they are? -.-.-.- ONC 2021 Prompts #87 and #67 -.-.-.- Highest rank #23 in Masquerade

Gemstones by Power6Is6Everything

What if the fire they feared... was the only thing that could save them? Red never asked to be chosen. Dragged into a world of ancient schools, elemental magic, and brutal expectations, she learns that power comes at a cost - and obedience is only ever demanded by those who fear your flame. But Red doesn't burn for them. As war erupts and secrets unravel - about her past, the voice in her head, and the dark figure who understands her too well - Red must decide what she's willing to destroy to claim the truth. Even if that means becoming the very thing they swore to stop. When loyalty fractures and the world begins to fracture with it, only one question remains: Is she the weapon... or the fire that ends everything?

Forgotten by crystalbooks24

//He had my hands pinned tightly above my head as I squirmed beneath him. The blade twisting between his fingers. He held it up to my throat. I was afraid but refused to show it. "Hurt me." I said between gritted teeth. He just gave me a sorrowful glance before driving the dagger into my flesh.// This is no story of love and happiness. This is a story of death and destruction. One of a man and woman who met one night and not only changed the lives of themselves, but the lives of a whole world of people. One was fire and one was water. They were perfectly balanced. Until one night when the sun fell just below the tip of the tallest castle, the balance faltered, and all hell broke loose. Fire on fire. This is no memorable story that was told on for generations after. No. This is a story of the forgotten. ------------------------------------------- The prince and princess are forced to marry out of their fathers hatred for one another. Yet, there's a falter to the plan and murder gets involved. Will the two be able to put aside years of pent up hatred, or will love conquer all? #2 in tragiclovestory Socials: @0fficialcrystalwebb on tiktok

Shadows of Serpent | Sebastian Sallow x OC by _Seralune_

Years after the war, Hogwarts stands tall once more - rebuilt, reimagined... and dripping with secrets. Aurora Nyx never thought she'd return. Not after everything. Not after him. But when she's offered a position as the new Potions professor, she reluctantly says yes - ready to face old ghosts, but not him. Not Sebastian Sallow. Now a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Sebastian is older, inked, and just as reckless. And neither of them has forgotten what happened all those years ago - the blood, the betrayal. Their past is violent. Their chemistry is worse. She wants to avoid him. He wants to provoke her. And Hogwarts? It's not prepared for what happens when you trap two ticking time bombs in the same castle. NSFW content, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers, ancient magic, emotional damage, and very little classroom professionalism. They're in their late twenties now. And Hogwarts has never been so scandalous. This story is the perfect mixture of HP x HL. Enjoy!

Royal Scandal by storiesbyaprincess

One night. One mistake. One heir to the throne. Alina Evercrest is the youngest and only daughter of a noble house-kind, sharp-eyed, and devoted to a life far from royal intrigue. But after her coming-of-age celebration at the palace ends with her waking in the Crown Prince's bed, everything changes. Especially when whispers start, and her monthly cycle doesn't come. Prince Caelum is feared across the realm-lethal in war, ruthless in court, and entirely untouchable. He never intended to be tied down, especially not to the soft-hearted noble girl who's too clever for her own good. But the night they shared wasn't a scandal. It was fate. As tensions rise and enemies circle, Alina is thrust into the heart of royal power, where secrets burn and trust is rare. But she's not just surviving-she's outsmarting, outshining, and unshakably loyal to the man the world calls a monster... yet who worships her in the quiet. When love deepens, so does the danger. Because in a world built on bloodlines, politics, and power, nothing is safe-not even the child they never meant to create. He would kill for her. She would fight kingdoms for him. Together, they'll burn the old world to build their own.

To end the war, they must confront not only the corruption that fuels it but the hatred that runs deep within their own hearts. Can they unite their people before the shadows consume them both... or will the past destroy any hope of peace?
