Dark Academia ✦ Enemies to Lovers ✦ Magic ✦ Slow Burn ✦ Academic Rivalry

"Some spells are born of blood. Others? Of pure, undiluted spite."
Welcome to The Solivane Institute of Arcanum, where magic is ancient, secrets are dangerous, and hatred makes the best foreplay. 
Dark academia meets deadly romance in this twisted tale of secret societies, forbidden spellwork, betrayal, and the kind of enemies-to-lovers tension that will leave you screaming into your pillow at 3 am.
He's chaos in ink and shadow. She's a rule written in starlight. And they were never meant to burn this bright together.

Aurelia Wrenfield has one goal: graduate at the top of her class and prove she belongs at Solivane Institute of Arcanum, the most elite magical university in the realm. As a scholarship student with a silver streak in her hair and a heart full of defiance, she plays by the rules-until she's forced to work with the one person who was born to break them.

Lucien Vale is everything she despises. Arrogant. Tattooed. Powerful. The heir to a bloodline steeped in forbidden magic and darker secrets. With one black eye, one grey, and a silver tongue sharp enough to draw blood, he's made it his personal mission to unravel her control.

They hate each other.
They challenge each other.
And the more they're forced together-duels, midnight rituals, shadowed archives-the more the line between rivalry and obsession begins to blur.

But secrets are stirring in the bones of the school. A hidden war between ancient houses, secret societies, and buried magic is rising-and they might be the spark that ignites it all.

One rule-bound scholar. One brooding legacy. One hell of a slow-burn.
Let the academic bloodbath begin.

Flames and Ashes Bound by rivalry. Consumed by passion. Lost in the flames. Amber Bardot doesn't believe in love. She believes in power, control, and keeping her heart locked behind steel walls. A survivor with a sharp mind and a sharper tongue, she's built herself from the ground up-no room for weakness, no space for distractions. Lawrence Wayne is everything she refuses to want. Cold. Calculated. Unrelenting. A multimillionaire with an empire at his feet and a smirk that spells trouble. He plays the long game and plays it well, whether in business or in breaking down the defences of a woman who refuses to fall. He's her rival. She's his greatest challenge. When a high-stakes deal forces them to work together, their rivalry ignites into something neither of them can control. She pushes. He pulls. She resists. He conquers. But when the ghosts of Amber's past threaten to burn everything to the ground, Lawrence makes a choice-protect her at all costs, even if it means losing her forever. Because love was never part of the plan. But neither was the fire between them. In a game of power, seduction, and secrets, who will burn first?

"Two academic rivals must unravel a corruption case while battling the undeniable chemistry between them." Ava, the confident and stunning blonde law student, is known for her intelligence and charisma that makes her a standout in the faculty. She's always been at the top of her class, excelling in academic competitions and being a social force. But there's one person who competes with her at every turn-Logan, a brooding and intense law student with exceptional skills and a sharp mind. The two are constant academic rivals, constantly competing for the top spot, and their rivalry has made them dislike each other from the start. However, when a high-profile corruption case surfaces, both Ava and Logan are forced to team up in order to solve it. The case involves uncovering corruption within the legal field, requiring them to dig into sensitive areas and connect various pieces of evidence. This new challenge pushes them to work closely together, forcing them to confront not only the case but also their own personal histories and secrets. Logan, who has been burned by betrayal in the past, keeps his walls high and remains distant from others, especially Ava, who he sees as someone who plays the social game too well. On the other hand, Ava struggles to see Logan as more than just a grumpy, distant competitor who keeps everyone at arm's length. But as they collaborate on the case, Ava begins to uncover Logan's hidden vulnerabilities, and Logan starts to see the real, sincere side of Ava that isn't just about winning or looking good. As the case intensifies, they must decide whether to stay true to their personal beliefs and fight for justice or let their growing feelings for each other undermine everything they've worked for. Their rivalry shifts into something far more complicated-an undeniable attraction that neither of them can easily ignore.

Not everything at Hogwarts is in the rulebook. Cassia Vale is everything a Slytherin should be. She's sharp witted, cunning, emotionally untouchable, and dangerously well dressed. With her ruthless charm and effortless control, she's carved a place for herself at Hogwarts that's equal parts respect and mystery. Her life is a careful game of power, perception, and never, ever letting anyone in too close. That is, until two chaotic Gryffindors, Fred and George Weasley, start prying at the wit she's spent years perfecting. And when a cryptic note appears in her Potions textbook inviting her to a midnight meeting she never asked to join, Cassia finds herself caught in the web of The Assembly -- a secret student society built on influence, old magic, and dangerous ambition. As the world she has spent years perfecting starts to unravel, Cassia must navigate shifting loyalties, quiet rivalries, and the growing tension between the life she's built and the one she never planned for. With Blaise Zabini watching her too closely, and George Weasley throwing her further off balance with every smirk and smart remark, the real question becomes this; How long can she keep playing the game before the game starts playing her?

The day Elara Vale almost lost her sister, the world shifted. Roots tore through the soil at her touch, shadows bent unnaturally, and in one heartbeat, everything she thought she knew cracked apart. Her mother's truth followed soon after: magic was real, it lived in her blood, and it was time she faced the Academy. Caelestis Academy is nothing like Elara imagined. Towers carved with runes rise over a mist-filled gorge, students are sorted into factions of Earth, Water, and Air-and everywhere she turns, the absence of a fourth lingers like a scar. Soul. Erased. Condemned. Forbidden. While others wear their trauma like a badge, Elara carries only questions-and a secret she can't afford to reveal. Because the fire burning inside her does not belong to the earth she's been claimed by. It belongs to the one element the world has sworn to fear. Haunted by whispers, tangled in rivalries, and pulled toward friendships she never expected, Elara must decide who she can trust before the shadows beneath the school rise again. Some truths are heavy enough to break you. Others can set the world on fire.

"It's yours," I say when she merely stares, eyes flicking back and forth between it and myself. Calculating, processing. Wondering why on earth I would just hand it over to her. That's the question of the day, isn't it? The answer is because she's the revolution now. She's grown into the exact person I thought she would become - needed her to become. Every god needs a believer, but I can't say I expected to ever be the one kneeling. I used to want to lead the world. Now I just want to watch her remake it. I step closer, slowly, carefully. Like I'm approaching a predator. Because I am. Her head tilts to the side, confusion swirling amidst the cold calculation. My eyes travel down her form, cataloguing everything that's changed about her. Her stance is more rigid, her hair tamer, posture perfect. The wild, emotional girl is gone. And in her place is a queen in the making. -------- Verena Ebonmere was never meant to stand out. Her magic was bound, her family tried to forget her, and even at Hogwarts she's just another face in the crowd-until a mark blooms against her skin, thorn-shaped and burning with power she doesn't understand. Now everyone seems to want something from her: a professor whose charm hides something far more dangerous, a boy whose visions of rebellion could consume them both, and a person whose gentle smile conceals secrets older than the school itself. Pulled between desire, loyalty, and the lure of her own unraveling power, Verena must decide whether she's the prey everyone expects her to be... or the crown they never saw coming. *NO HARRY POTTER KNOWELDGE NEEDED!!* *I do not own any of the world building or settings, but all characters and plots are my own :)*
