    Summary

    My very first fic! This is the first installment of three! It took me well over a year to finish this story (and plan the other books) but I'm so excited to finally share it here with you all. Sorry in advance if it’s not your thing. There are a few minor canon changes that I explain in the prologue (as well as introduce our fmc!) & to be fair, in my own defense--YOU are my beta reader so--gg.

    ! ! COMPLETE ! !

     ((next installment has begun <3))

    "My mind wasn’t at the table.

    I’d rehearsed my words for him all summer.
    A hundred versions.
    A thousand.
    Each sharper than the last. Controlled disappointment. Bitten back anger. Maybe a slap. Maybe something worse. And beneath every draft? The same humiliating hope that he would just look at me and say that he was sorry.

    So, where the bloody hell—𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘩𝘦?

    The feast moved around us with its old, clockwork precision and I played my part without thinking. A smile here. A polite nod there. But my gaze kept slipping back—

    toward the doors,
    toward the dark,
    toward the spaces he should have filled.

    Still empty.
    Still 𝘯𝘰 Sebastian.”

    Summary

    It all started with an innocent favor.
    But innocence walked out the door the second Sebastian Sallow entered the room.
    Stir in something called ‘ancient magic’ and you have a guaranteed recipe for utter bedlam.

    ____________________________

    A Hogwarts Legacy AU where my OC, having started school as a regular first-year, begins her sixth year developing not only strange, magical abilities but also strange, sensual feelings for a freckle-faced housemate who is anything but. If only she knew how deeply interwoven these separate dilemmas would become…

    {Because of the many issues I have with the game's writing, certain events will take place at different times; others may be left out entirely. Characters will also be aged up to 18 in this story.}

    Summary

    The events of fifth year leave Alice Everlark, Sebastian Sallow, and Ominis Gaunt changed, and whatever held the three of them together badly fractured.

    The summer pulls the shadow trio apart, giving each of them time to heal, or pretend they are healing. But when sixth year begins, the Slytherins slowly find their way back to one another: to the Undercroft, to dangerous feelings, and to secrets still waiting for them in the dark.

    Summary

    In the wizarding world, Pensieve memories are considered irrefutable evidence. But what if human memory — colored by emotion, warped by time, or deliberately altered — could lie? Eyewitness accounts can be fabricated. Even magical testimony bends to the caster's bias.
    But places remember everything...

    Summary

    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.
    Now bound by law and silence, she must navigate a marriage written in clauses and consequence — one that blurs the boundary between protection and possession, mercy and guilt, duty and love.

    Sub rosa — Neo-Latin for “under the rose.”
    A post-classical expression meaning in secrecy or confidentially; derived from the ancient custom of hanging a rose above a meeting table to signify that everything spoken beneath it was to remain private.
