In the Ashes of Ambition Hogwarts Legacy | Sebastian Sallow x F!OC | friends to lovers | WIP

She let out a small, unimpressed hum. “Is this where I’m meant to sing your praises?” “I will always accept compliments in the form of song,” Sebastian said magnanimously. “Interpretive dance works, too, I suppose. Though, if you’re feeling truly inspired by my performance—” his eyes lit with mischief, “—I’d challenge you to a witty haiku.” OR:

Eleanor Evans didn’t come to Hogwarts to be special. She came to make sense of this new world of magic, pass her classes, and maybe feel like she belonged somewhere for once. Instead, she finds herself navigating ancient magic she doesn’t understand, the agenda of a group of cryptic portraits, a Dark wizard who seems to know more than he’s letting on, and a Slytherin boy whose ambition to save his sister burns just as fiercely as her own. A slow burn, morally tangled story about ambition, belonging, and the sort of love that asks you, again and again, to choose what you’re willing to sacrifice and who you’re willing to become.

Fool For You Hogwarts Legacy | Sebastian Sallow x F!MC | friends to lovers | WIP

The goal: brew a forbidden potion to avoid the soul-crushing misery that is revising for N.E.W.T.s, and prove (once again) that rules are only obstacles for unimaginative people. The result: a botched potion and an accidental body swap with the Hero of Hogwarts, who happens to be his best friend, his favorite accomplice, and the one witch in the castle he's been trying very hard not to want. Now Sebastian has to survive a day in her body. And if that weren’t bad enough, he soon discovers that half the castle seems to be in love with her. Himself included. A terrible thing, really, to be so clever and yet still such a fool.

One-shots:

The Magic of a Rainy Day Hogwarts Legacy | Sebastian Sallow x F!MC | friends to lovers

They’ve faced goblins, curses, and the weight of the wizarding world on their shoulders—but nothing quite so dangerous as a quiet moment alone in the rain. When a rainy afternoon catches Sebastian and MC unprepared, the two take shelter together, where they discover that some storms bring a little sunshine with them.

well would’ya looky there

had a 10+ hour flight, so I figured I’d experiment with a different style of rendering. Same brushes, more shadow, more highlight, more of the gang

Madam Blainey vs. The Slow Burn

New chapter(s) available now for In the Ashes of Ambition!

In a stunning yet unsurprising display of (un)organization, I forgot to announce Chapter 17 was up. So! Chapters 17 and 18 are both now available on AO3.

Sebastian Sallow x F!OC/Eleanor Evans | Mature | Tags on AO3

Chapter 18 features: Sebastian learning that Quidditch is a poor substitute for processing your emotions, Eleanor discovering that something she considers “horrible to watch” can, actually, get even worse, and Madam Blainey proving herself a tireless enemy of romantic tension and improper bed sharing.

Snippet from Chapter 18 below, or you can start at the beginning!

“You snore.”

Of all the possible cruelties she might’ve chosen to inflict upon him while he lay broken and defenseless in a hospital bed, this was not the one he’d prepared for.

“I do not,” Sebastian managed, with as much ire as a concussed and bedridden person could. “That’s a lie. You’re taking advantage of my weakened state to slander me.”

“Hardly.” He could practically hear her smiling. From his peripheral vision, he saw her lean her head back against the wall. “I waited until you were awake. That seems sporting. Besides, if I wanted to slander you, I had ample time to do so while you were snoring away.”

“Allegedly snoring, I’ll thank you to keep the facts straight.”

She ignored him. “You were very committed to it. Madam Blainey had to keep coming over to check on you.”

“Because of the severity of my injuries, presumably.”

“Because of the noise,” she corrected with a hum. He felt it more than heard it, a small vibration along his side.
