If you’re not in the Christmas spirit yet, this masterpiece will get you there in no time. It’s a very sweet, immersive, sexy, funny and amazingly written story where Ominis is pining after Sebastian and can’t believe Sebastian would ever like him back. To get closer to him, Ominis (with Garreth’s help) comes up with a “scheme” to spend more time together on a road trip. I don’t want to spoil anything, but let’s just say this story features one of the best tropes ever created for bringing two characters closer together.

This fic also has multiple spin-offs, which I’d highly recommend, even though they feature different pairings than Sebinis!

Happy holidays! 💖

I know Halloween is far behind us, but I still want to recommend this wonderful vampire series. Even if you’re not the biggest fan of blood, like I’m not, these stories are still easy to read without feeling nauseous - but if you do have a phobia regarding it, proceed with caution! The first part of this is adorable and hot, and the next one a bit more eerie, but also HOT. Who knew blood drinking could be so sexy?! There’s also a creative vampire lore I haven’t seen before in stories.

“A glimpse into Ominis Gaunt's early life, his first day at Hogwarts and the start of a lifelong friendship with a certain someone by the name of Sebastian Sallow.”

A beautiful and slightly heart-wrenching story of Ominis''s' life before Hogwarts and then how he meets Sebastian, his first friend, and how that makes him feel. Since they are young, I’d describe this as pre-slash, but you can already see glimpses of how their relationship might develop. First-year Sebastian is so adorable here. The story also offers an interesting take on why Ominis was sorted into Slytherin!

Why aren't there more stories of them as adults - I mean real adults, around middle age, like in this one. This fic perfectly shows how age doesn't necessarily bring confidence, at least in poor Sebastian's case. The body worship here is so deliciously and beautifully done, in ways that feel true to Ominis’ character. His love for Sebastian isn't going to falter over something shallow. I love their love for each other, and this fic!

This is absolutely adorable - until it shifts into a hotter gear toward the end! There will never be enough fics where the boys practice kissing (or other things) with each other, and this is such a wonderful one among all the other wonderful ones. Plus, this has a funny and dumb Sebastian, my favourite. Short, sweet, and steamy!

One can only wish that dark magic were real. I mean, imagine a world where this tag was an actual reality: "Therapy is expensive. Dark magic is free." No more dirty apartments, no more unfinished jobs, when someone could just Imperio you to do them, and make you love it. The author has described the perfect world and life - and the way they have done it, oh damn. Their writing style is engaging, addictive, and beautiful, clearly crafted by a professional. This is a fic I've come back to many times before and will return to in the future, that's for sure. Heed the tags!

❤️ Cleansing Sins by @eleniaelres

“Sebastian has struggled with depression and self deprecating thoughts since his teenage years after he realized he was gay. His uncle made sure he knew how much of a freak he was, ingraining in him how much God despised him for who he was.

But then everything changed once he met Father Ominis Gaunt, who freely offered him the cure he so desperately wanted.”

Religious themes are my guilty pleasure, and this definitely hit all the right spots! It’s marked as Dead Dove, so approach with caution, especially if you have any religious trauma. But if you're like me and enjoy a little dubious (and hot) content, this is definitely for you. The writing style is such a pleasure to read, easily understandable and fun. And did I already mention, HOT. Father Gaunt is a very wise man.

This author has several amazing Sebinis-fics that I could recommend, but for now, I’ve decided to give this one some praise. The main plot here involves Ominis masturbating with fruit - and at this point, someone might think, “...and what’s hot about that?” I definitely thought the same when I first came across this, but I’ve already returned to it 4 or 5 times. I enjoy short stories that I can devour as an evening snack, and this is definitely a SNACK. It takes great skill to make fruit sexy, and this author has truly nailed it. Fair warning though: after reading this, you might find yourself with some ambiguous feelings towards fruit - both horny and hungry.

This fic is set during the summer after the events of the fifth year. The boys engage in some cute banter until the conversation takes a more serious turn, followed by some exploration of sexuality and friendly experimenting, with hidden/unnoticed romantic feelings. Nice, heartwarming, and entertaining story with easily readable language!

I really love modern AUs, they offer the opportunity to explore these characters in ways that simply aren’t possible in canon. This fic plays with the idea of dating apps and portrays the boys meeting through Grindr - and also gives us a peek what kind of world waits in the said app. Sebastian is such a (horny) sweetheart in this, and Ominis is a mysterious, beautiful (and slutty) stranger. This story is hot hot hot but also romantic. Sebastian’s inexperience, desperation and infatuation is well depicted, and you can’t help but root for him to get the man of his dreams. I absolutely adore this.

❤️ Everything Between Us by Blaises_Magical_Menagerie

“The one where Ominis presents as an omega when he was never supposed to and the archaic traditions of his family terrify him enough that he keeps that bit of information to himself. Thank Merlin he was at school when his change came about, otherwise he would be dead for sure.”

A/B/O is great for those who enjoy animalistic smut with dom/sub vibes, and this 2-part series certainly provides that. Every move is detailed, making it easy to get immersed in the story. It's not just porn without plot, though - the foundation of the story is well built. There are a lot of feelings; I would describe it as sweet and sugary (like slick, one might say). Very entertaining!

*the fics are marked as mature in AO3, but they certainly have explicit sexual content so I chose the rating for this review

This hit me in the feels, HARD. It’s brilliant in every way: the anagrams the boys use for their names, the mysterious way they talk to each other before and after they realise who they are, and how the light conversation evolves into something deep and heart-wrenching. It also has some little hot sprinkles here and there. I’m a sucker for “unconventionally” written fics, meaning those with a style that’s different from the usual storytelling, and this fic is written entirely in the form of letters. The language is great and captivating, along with the story - it may break your heart, but in the end, it will make it whole again.

It's absolutely magical how many words this has, yet the whole thing can be read so quickly. The entire story is written in the form of text messages, and while that style is naturally easier to read, the story is also incredibly engaging. At the end of each chapter, you're left wanting more, thinking, “is it over already?!” It's amazing how much can be deduced from just the duration of calls or deleted messages. Everyone involved has their own personal texting style, making this so fun to read. And the sexting is definitely worth the wait. Writing in this form could easily go wrong, but this is captivating, hilarious, and adorable, all while telling an interesting story.

A fun and light fic of an artist Sebastian and Ominis as his muse. The first part of the series is nice and innocent, while the next part gets more heated. You can read either part on its own if you prefer. The story flows nicely, and their obvious flirting made me chuckle. I love a confident Ominis!

This is a masterpiece. The text is simply amazing, the plot is full of action and emotions, and it's absolutely captivating. The author has come up with such imaginative tasks for the Triwizard Tournament that kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The suspense and thrill are vivid. And let’s not forget the romance that blooms on the side. As a bonus, there’s also beautiful art and a little comic too!
