The Burden Unseen | Ominis Gaunt x OMC

Ominis GauntxFMC Fanfiction

Gwyneth Ashwood has returned from America with a case that shouldn't exist and a secret that breathes in the dark. As a researcher haunted by her father's legacy, she protects a living myth with her whole heart-a creature believed extinct.

Desperate for sanctuary, Gwyneth accepts an unusual arrangement: becoming the "domestic presence" in the home of Ominis Gaunt, a formidable Auror leading the Ministry's most sensitive investigation to this day.

What neither of them realises is that they are pursuing the same ghost from opposite sides of the law. While Ominis is under strict orders to track and "neutralise" the creature to prevent more chaos that has been happening in Great Britain, Gwyneth is risking everything to ensure its survival.

Under the same roof, a delicate game of cat and mouse begins. Between shared dinners and whispered conversations, a deep, slow-burning affection starts to blur the lines of their duty. But as the Ministry's net closes in, they must face a devastating collision: Will they fulfil the missions that define them, or protect the secrets that could destroy them both?
