Summary
He heard the sizzle first.
The acid struck his shoulder and arm, eating through fabric and flesh alike. Pain bloomed white-hot and fast across his skin. He choked on a curse and staggered back into a workbench, the stench of burnt cotton and skin clawing at his throat. He fell onto his left arm on workbench, bracing against it. His shirt had put up nearly no fight against the acid, and his skin felt like it had been set on fire.
“Merlin, Sallow!” Her voice cut through the haze. “Hold still, okay?”
She was beside him in an instant, wand in hand, eyes wide with panic. The expression didn’t suit her, too raw, too human for the composed prefect.
She grabbed his arm with a steady but gentle grip, and for a heartbeat he forgot the pain.
—————
Lenora Winchester, newly appointed Hufflepuff prefect, has little patience for Slytherin’s most infamous troublemaker. Sebastian Sallow has even less for anyone who tells him what to do.
After a potion accident binds them to an unwanted partnership the two must navigate fragile truces, buried secrets, and an emerging threat that reaches far beyond detention, threatening all of Hogwarts. -

Summary
“I love you,” he whispered, the words cracking, breaking. “Do you understand that? I love you. And if you ever try to hide yourself from me again—”
His thumb pressed lightly against her pulse, not cruel, but claiming.
“—I’ll tear down every wall you build. I’ll burn every mask you put on. I’ll raze every lie this world tries to trap you in until there’s nothing left between us but the truth.”· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·
She arrived at Hogwarts in her sixth year with a name no one recognized, a past she refuses to share, and eyes that give nothing away.
Sirius Black was the first to hate her — and the last to let her go.
In a castle divided by old grudges and looming war, their paths should have run parallel. Instead, they collided — in whispered challenges, unspoken grudges, and the kind of defiance that draws people together as much as it pushes them apart.
A slow-burn romance set against the shadow of the First Wizarding War — where loyalty is tested, legacy is a weapon, and love becomes the most dangerous choice of all.

Summary
Before I ever kissed him, I watched him kill someone.
We don’t talk about the catacombs. Or the way I chose to protect him. We don’t talk at all, most days. But then a bottle spun, and a dare turned into seven minutes I can’t take back. Now we’re skipping class, sneaking into the Restricted Section, and pretending we don’t remember what we did six years ago.
He touches me like I’m still good. I let him, even though I’m not. Even though neither of us are.

Summary
The Author - The list of ingredients to take to Pippin that lays on Sharp’s desk is so worn down and run over, I wonder how long he'd hold it in his hands and fidget with it, till the ends crumbled away. Maybe he'd finally work up the courage to stumble into hogsmeade and sulk into the Pippin family store, his demeanor brooding but his posture slouched and rigid.
The cursive scratching of his handwriting, having been written so long ago and contemplated over for so long, looks foreign and confusing. He only hopes Pippin will be able to make some sense of it.___
Follow Aesop Sharp as he tackles an unassuming day off, and get a deeper look into his character.

Summary
Jane Marie Glover has always played her part well: the sweetheart, the loyal friend, the one no one would suspect. But beneath the disguise lies something far older, far darker, and now that she has the means to make it a reality, she hungers to be more than the world ever intended for her.
Jane's not here to play house. She's not here to be kind. And she's certainly not here to fall for the arrogant, insufferable Sebastian Sallow.
Enemies. Rivals. And perhaps, inevitably… something else entirely.

Summary
Wizarding Britain is poised to take a dangerous step backward as the vote on the Purity Act draws near. Amidst growing political tension and his family's legacy hanging over him like an executioner's axe, all Ominis Gaunt wants is to complete his phD and keep his head above the churning tides of darkness that threaten to pull him under.
When the youngest and only daughter of the Surya royal family saunters into his life with her sunny smile and razor-sharp wit, Ominis' world is somehow pulled together and turned upside down. Princess Miradevi Surya Lakshmi upends his chaos in a manner he grows to adore beyond measure, and for a moment, everything feels like it could go right.
However, Mira's title does not grant her immunity from the scrutiny that accompanies being a muggleborn. Miradevi and Ominis are caught right in the middle as internal tensions in the Ministry grow into a hostile coup.
Between his thesis, a budding romance with a princess, and a conspiracy that could take down the British wizarding government, Ominis faces choices that could make the atrocities he has endured throughout his life worth it.
Or, he could lose everything he ever loved. -

Summary
Everyone knew Damian Wayne. It wasn't every day that two of the most influential magical families, not to mention England's most renowned auror family and the Middle East's ancient family of alleged dark wizards, came together despite their differences to welcome a pure heir to both sides of the coin.
It was impossible not to know the name Damian Wayne.
After strange events had led to his presence being unwelcome at Durmstrang and his ending up at Hogwarts, the great prince charming had dedicated himself to a specific mission from day one on the castle grounds. He hadn't waited for his first dinner to even happen properly. And his mission was this: to make my life miserable for a simple mistake that we could have solved by being nice.
The problem was that he isn't nice and neither am I, and I wouldn't let him and his big name walk all over me like I was trash.

Summary
As a halfblood with a dark family history, a private education, and no emotional support from her father due to a recent tragedy, Norah fears she'll have to navigate her new life as a sixth year at Hogwarts alone. That is until she befriends Sebastian Sallow. He makes an offer she can't refuse: help him find a cure for his cursed twin sister Anne and he'll help her find her place in the school against the purists trying to make her life hell. But with Sebastian comes his best friend Ominis Gaunt, who disaproves of Sebastian's dangerous choices and begins to blame Norah for encouraging him down the dark path. But both of them realize they share much more than a desire to help the Sallow twins, and a deep, forbidden attraction forms between them that they struggle to ignore. With every step closer to finding an answer to Anne's curse, they discover unwanted truths: that Sebastian's path amongst the Dark Arts is leading to a point where he may not return, that those who threaten Norah will not stop until she's left the magical world (or even better dead), and that Ominis' unwanted role in the prestigious House Gaunt is the reason for all the they face. But worst of all, someone deliberately set them all on this path.

Summary
When the Cruciatus Curse fails to open the Scriptorium door the first time, Elowen offers herself up again- desperate to escape, to help Sebastian, to survive.
Elowen says she can handle it. Ominis knows she can’t. But this time, Sebastian means it. And this time, it works.
The door opens.
In the aftermath, pain lingers- physical, emotional, and unspoken. And for Ominis, holding her close in the quiet that follows, it feels achingly familiar.
(An alternate version of the Scriptorium scene, focused on the emotional and physical fallout of the curse not working the first try.)
