In His Shadow

In His Shadow follows Cosette Snape, guarded, sharp, and far more like her father than she wishes and Draco Malfoy, an heir pulled toward a destiny he can't escape.

As Hogwarts shifts under the rising threat of war, the two find themselves tangled in secrets, alliances, and emotions neither of them can afford. Their connection deepens in the cracks of an unraveling world. Amid fear, pressure, betrayal, and the choices that will define who they become.

Caught between legacy and desire, family loyalty and survival, Cosette and Draco must confront the darker truths about themselves, and the unexpected light they find in each other.

In His Shadow is part of an ongoing series about the entire HPU and the different eras within it, where green eyes haunt the entire narrative in each era. These are the fanfics I have planned. Those who have read my BG3 fanfic know I don't write happy. Happy moments sure but all my works are Hurt No Comfort. This series will be extremely Dead Dove Do Not Eat. It contains OC's that do not break but bend canon. This fanfic In His Shadow is probably the least canon compliant but still keeps character personalities without changing who they are. I will be working on each series on and off, jumping between the lot of them.
