Bee Everly has made a habit of chasing the night, but lately the thrill isn't landing the way it used to, and she's struggling to find her footing. At a friend's wedding, she meets someone she absolutely shouldn't (but wishes she had met sooner). It threatens to unravel the lives they've both built.
If you've rebuilt your life around resisting temptation and true connection, what happens when it starts looking like the one thing you can't live without?

Disclaimer: This idea possessed me in the past two weeks while rewatching season 2 of Fleabag for the third time, so consider this story to be heavily inspired by it but mashed up with some Hogwarts Legacy/HP lore.
**MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS FOR HOGWARTS LEGACY***
POV: Second Person, Girl - Great for Role-Play Read
Hogwarts was falling. Fig was dead. Lodgok was dead. Sebastian in Azkaban.
You had lost.
But what if you could do it again? What if you could start off differently-right from the beginning? What if you trusted your friends more? What if you found a family to love and protect you? What if you decided that just this once....everyone lives?
What would you say to yourself...to save yourself?

A very detailed re-write of entire main story line with severe canon divergence. This is gonna be a long, long one folks, so grab a snack ;)
For lovers of all the happy endings.
