Sebastian had never planned to return to England. Too often, he worries he has risked far too much by returning  here, even if  it is only temporarily.

There was a reason he had disappeared after Anne died.

A reason he'd wanted  *Her* and Ominis to forget him and move on. 

Its frantic message beats against his ribs and reminds him that where he goes Death follows and he cannot linger here.

Until circumstances throw *her* back into his orbit and he sees the child.

The little girl with his his curls and his eyes. 

And everything he's convinced himself of for nearly five years is suddenly thrown into question.

OMINISxMC 𝒊 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒎𝒚 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆 by Tax-onomic

[50k - complete] Euphemia Black has problems: she's starting Hogwarts at fifteen, for one thing. Oh, and she accidentally travelled 100 years into the past, for another. Her new best friend is obsessed with the Dark Arts, and she's starting to develop feelings for his best friend... It's a mess. But maybe fate sent her here for a reason. Can Euphemia stop Sebastian from spiraling into madness? Can she find a way to save Anne from a deadly curse? Endgame Ominis/MC, not quite canon-compliant, angst/fluff/humor, references to 80's music, rated M for smut. Author's notes: I couldn't play Hogwarts Legacy and simply move on with my life, so I wrote this. It is completely self-indulgent and riddled with hamfisted references to HP canon and chock full of dialogue stolen shamelessly from the video game. I don't even care. Special thanks to my beta brightened, who is extremely talented and smart, and without whom I'd probably never finish this thing. You're the best.

The Unraveling by beewitcheed

Our bond was formed long before we met, as if a string had been tied to our wrists, connecting us at birth... It is something beyond us, beyond this life... We were destined to meet, destined to love, destined to be together, right now, right here... Our bond was formed long before we met, Infinite, never unraveling. If you told Adelia Miltin a few years ago that witches and wizards existed, she would have called you mad. Yet, here she was, about to enter a school meant for aspiring witches and wizards as a new 7th year student. She thought her only worries were going to be taking care of her ailing grandmother, not learning how to fly a broom. Not only will she have to traverse through the halls of Hogwarts, but she will also have to navigate her new life filled with Ancient Magic, budding friendships, and an insufferable Slytherin named Sebastian Sallow. If you told Sebastian Sallow that his semester would start with a failed duel on his part, he would have called you a liar. Yet, here he was, named second-best by the hands of a new student, someone who could hardly hold their wand correctly. He thought his biggest worries this year were going to be discovering what happened to his parents, but now he also must fight for his title as best duelist back from an incompetent Hufflepuff named Adelia Miltin. ------- This is a slow burn Sebastian x fMC fic that will explore life before the curse and develop characters and relationships. This may be a slow read with a few episodic chapters since I want the reader to feel like they are going to school with the characters. There will be plenty of fluff in the beginning and angst in later chapters. While the fic does follow the main storyline from the game, I have added/removed/changed events/characters to suit my story. Please read the warnings and rights BEFORE starting this story! Thank you for your support! 😊

A story made of vows, duty, old debts, and the quiet war between mercy and guilt. In the Gaunt family, secrecy is an heirloom - and no secret stays buried for long. When they discover Dominique Novell's link to ancient magic, they decide to bind her to their bloodline. A marriage is arranged and for Dominique, the choice is no choice at all. The Gaunts hold leverage - omniscient of Sebastian's sin. To protect him, she signs her name.

The Secrets || Sebastian Sallow POV fanfic by misspurrple

The world thinks I'm the arrogant one. The rule-breaker. The charming duelist who gets away with everything. They're not wrong. But no one knows what's at stake when I look at Anne. No one knows what I've done. What I'll still do. I made a promise. One I intend to keep. Not for the Headmaster. Not for the school. Not even for the girl with the violet eyes and the clever mouth who's stumbled straight into my path. Qynna Veilinharv. She wasn't here before. Now she's exactly where I need her. She casts spells like she's never learned them, argues like a Slytherin, blushes like a Hufflepuff, and hides things like the world depends on it. I should have left her alone. I didn't. She keeps walking straight into my plans, and every time she does, it becomes easier to let her. The closer she gets, the more I can see what she's made of. And the truth is, some part of me likes watching her try. Even if she never realises how deep she's wandered. Even if, by the time she does, it's already too late. Includes: ✨ Secrets, lies, and very bad decisions ✨ A meddling, mysterious girl with more power than she knows ✨ A cocky protagonist who absolutely has a fan club ✨ A slow descent into dark magic Sebastian Sallow x Fem!OC (but replace "Qynna" and "Veilinharv" with your own OC if you wish- we're all secretly shifting anyway.) ⚠️ Trigger Warnings This story includes themes of grief, terminal illness, death, PTSD, anxiety, depression, obsession, self-harm, light intimacy, violence, blood, dark magic, alcoholism, and emotional ruin. Spoilers for Hogwarts Legacy throughout. Game scenes may appear with new context, expanded dialogue, or darker consequences. Leave comments, theories, chaos, pain.

MC x Ominis x Sebastian "Ominis was a gentle cool autumn rain, softly tapping against a glass window. Calming and comforting but with a gentle roll of thunder in the distance.

They treat her differently, look at her differently, and touch her differently. What caused the accident and will it turn out to be the best thing that could of happened to her? Or will the truth bring an end to the life she's sacrificed so much for? Some scenarios could be viewed as triggering for some.
