Selfless {Sebastian Sallow x GN!Reader}

Introduction: Follow up to Pretty Thoughts. (I tried to write in a way you could follow what’s going on without needing to read the last part though, so jump in if you’d like!) Sebastian isn’t waiting for your permission to help you with your assignments anymore. He knows what he wants, and he’s going after it. Takes place after MC meets Anne and before Seb’s final quest. Your Hogwarts house is up to you.

Word Count: ~ 1,700

Warnings: Kissing

Author’s Note: If he wanted to, he would is the fanfic lesson of the day. This one’s a bit shorter than my others, but I feel like so much more happened! I finished up this one quicker than I thought, so I’m going to be sneaky and edit here and there if I see any typos (my worst nightmare). Hope everyone’s having a good day 🙂

Songs (if interested):

Run Away to Mars - TALK

Greek Tragedy - The Wombats

Mr. Rager - Kid Cudi

The World - TeZATalks

Sebastian was lounging on a couch in the Slytherin common room, one hand behind his head, the other rubbing at his lips. He was trying to remember the feel of your mouth on his when you had kissed him in the library. He knew a memory wasn’t the most reliable thing, but he could have sworn he felt your tongue at one point. He pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance remembering the part where the two of you had to pull apart because you heard Madam Scribner approaching.

He was going to try to get another kiss in after the two of you would have left the library together. But something shifted in your mood and you ran off without him. He had been confuzzled about it ever since. It couldn’t have been that he was a bad kisser, he didn’t think the two of you would have stopped if you didn’t have to worry about getting caught.

He had tried to catch you before you left the castle that morning, but you were nowhere to be found. He was learning fast that it wasn’t going to be easy making you his. He needed to step it up, because you were a slippery one. Just when he thought he had you in the palm of his hand, you were gone.

He decided to stop moping and take action. He shot up off the couch and went to find a few people who he was thankful were easier to find.

-

When Sebastian arrived back on campus, he was covered in scrapes and bruises, and he absolutely reeked of dirt and sweat. Merlin’s beard, was this what you did nearly every day? He needed to toughen up if he wanted to keep up with you. 

After going to find Poppy and Natty, he had asked them about everything they had planned on helping you with. He told them he would take over, lying and saying he had similar assignments. He built up quite the list: Horklumps that could only be found in caves filled with ginormous spiders, ashwinder eggs he had to find hiking in the rockiest of places, and even bogeys he had managed to knock out a troll for. The professors had no hesitancy throwing you in the deep end, did they?

He was almost worried he bit off more than he could chew, but he had managed to complete the list, making the fatigue he felt oddly satisfying.

Despite being aware of his untidy state, he headed towards the dining hall. He thanked his lucky stars he had made it back before dinner time ended. He needed to get food in him or he would faint.

A majority of the students were gone, having already gotten their fill. He began making his way to find a seat, enchanted bag in hand. But among the few students left in the dining hall, he caught sight of you. Luck was officially on his side that day, he didn’t think he would have found you at all that weekend. He headed your way, wanting to walk faster but the soreness in his legs wouldn’t allow him. 

He plopped the bag on the table, startling you. He didn’t wait for you to say anything and slumped down in the empty spot next to you, too tired to lift his legs over the bench. He leaned his elbows back on the table and let his head fall back.

After allowing himself a brief moment to finally do nothing but sit that day, he met your questioning gaze and he gestured to the bag with his chin. “Hope this helps.”

You squinted your eyes at him, trying to work out what he was talking about. 

“Go on. Open it.”

You grabbed the bag and peeked inside. It didn’t take long for you to realize it had a charm to fit what looked like a dozen large jars. Getting a closer look, you realized they were full of items you needed for your latest assignments.

“Sebastian...” A proud smile tugged at his lips at the pleasant surprise in your voice. He leaned his head back again, another wave of exhaustion hitting him.

“I told you I wanted to help you.”

“This is... amazing. I -...” You were at a loss for words, shaking your head in disbelief. “I owe you, Sebastian. Please, let me know how I can repay you.”

He glanced back at you, raising a brow. “What are you going on about? You don’t owe me a thing.”

Something warm and fuzzy formed in your chest. This was not the Sebastian you first met. What ever happened to the Slytherin who was so eager to have people in his debt?

“Then why would you - …?”

“Do you need me to spell it out for you?” He smirked.

You looked back down into the bag, hiding the smirk of your own that formed. “Please do.”

He loosely took your hand in his. He would have grabbed it with a firmer hold if he could, but his forearms were aching too much. “You make me nervous too.”

You looked up to return his gaze and your heart fluttered. 

“I’d do anything you’d ask of me.” The way he said it while looking deep into your eyes, as if he needed you to understand he meant it, made you want to melt. He gave your hand a quick squeeze. “Please don’t run off.”

Finding your voice, you assured with a whisper, “I won’t.” You squeezed his hand back.

He smiled, relief overwhelming him. “Now that we’ve got that settled,” he gave your hand a quick kiss. Releasing it, he swung his legs over the bench to face the mouth watering platters. “I hate to ask, but could you help me get some of the food onto my plate. I think my arms are going to fall off.”

The two of you laughed and you happily obliged.

-

“Food really does taste better after a day like this.” Sebastian sighed, dreamily thinking back on how the first bite of many had made him want to cry.

“It does. I don’t know how I’ll survive when we don’t have Hogwarts cooking to come home to.” You replied as the two of you made your way to the Slytherin common room. You were going to drop him off and then head out to do your astronomy assignment. Once again, Sebastian had offered to come with, but seeing how he was practically asleep on his feet, you pleaded for him to get washed up and straight to bed.

Standing outside of the Slytherin common room, Sebastian let out a long exhale, thinking about how close to his bed he was. Oh how he wanted to collapse onto it. He looked to you. “I’ll see you at breakfast tomorrow.”

“You will.” You smiled at him.

He smiled back and turned to make his way into the common room.

“Sebastian, wait.” You grabbed for his hand with the gentlest touch. He stopped walking and faced you again.

“Yes?”

“I know you’re tired, but...” You drifted off as you leaned in and pressed your lips to his. 

Though he was exhausted, he mustered up all the energy he could to kiss you back, hoping he would catch some kind of a second wind. 

He tasted earthy and salty from the dirt and sweat that covered him. The hand that cupped your neck felt extra rough and callused then, but you didn’t care. Thinking about everything he had done for you that day, you wanted more of him. Your tongue just barely licked his bottom lip and it sent a shiver up his spine.

Truth be told, you always went a little mad when he was disheveled and sweaty like this. Whenever he needed to take off his robes and roll up his sleeves, it made you weak. He especially caught your eye after dueling matches, he would be worn out with clothes and hair disordered. You always ached to stroke his hair back into place.

You wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him closer to you. He reciprocated by wrapping his arms around your lower back. He wanted to lift you off the ground but his muscles painfully screamed in protest. So he settled for just biting at your bottom lip instead, eliciting a light moan from you.

You weren’t masters of kissing yet. Still learning the ropes, the two of you could only do what felt right in the moment, be it little nips or licks here and there. Neither of you seemed to mind, however.

The echoing sounds of students chattering and making their way down the stairs stopped your kiss. He sighed into your neck, still holding you close. “We need to find better places to do this.” And with one final kiss to your jaw he pulled away.

“Probably for the best, you need to get some rest.” You told him, straightening your shirt.

“Don’t need to tell me twice.” His eyelids were heavy, and you thought it was the most precious you’d ever seen him. 

“You’re adorable.” You told him with a cheeky smile you couldn’t hide.

“Oh, please never call me that again.” He rubbed roughly at his eyes, too sleepy to be that annoyed with your words.

You took subtle glances to see if anyone around you was looking your way. When you felt you were in the clear, you snuck a peck to his cheek, surprising him. “See you at breakfast.” And off you went.

He watched after you. You gave him quite the reward for his actions that day, he ought to do stuff like this more often.

Someone behind him gagged. “My word!” Sebastian, startled, turned to see Ominis with a face contorted in pure disgust. “You smell putrid!”

Sebastian could only nod in agreement. “I’m aware. Now, help me into the common room, will you? I think I’m about to collapse.”

Ominis scoffed “I am going nowhere near you.” He began towards the common room without him.

“Ominis, please, I’m not joking.”

because i'm insufferable, i'll also put some small character/song relevant thoughts under the cut. as a treat to myself.

reverence: this song gives me the feeling of being out on casey's farmhouse porch on late summer afternoon or at sunset. everyone's just kind of basking in the warmth, downtime, and company of each other. some might be napping, those awake are making quiet, idle conversation. it's just nice.

end of small sanctuary: this one always makes me think of raph and gwyn, specifically, sitting on city high-point at sunset. much like how it's used in SH3 when heather is just being a teenager at the mall and is probably music she'd listen to, this very much gives me the energy and warmth of raph and gwyn sitting in the setting sun, high above the city, with maybe some food and light conversation. a breath between The Horrors™.

dúlaman: i've been trying to find and listen to more celtic/irish music for a lot of reasons (so if you know any pls gib), but one is to better cultivate the sound and energy of liáfsian folksongs and music.

spanish sahara: how could i make this list without one of the songs that never fails to fuck me up. spanish sahara has been the driving 'score' in my head when it's come to a number of story scenes or character moments due to the slow build and emotional release of the song as well as the lyrics. i dunno. this song just moves and inspires me in ways i can't quite articulate.

tsunami: this song just feels so strongly like aislinn to me. the lost-lover part, sure, but especially the feeling of drowning and just... the instrumentals/vocals feel like her, too. i associate her a lot with water.

rainy day: no specific scenario here, but this score makes me think of and want to draw don or leo. the game it's from kind of has a melancholic nostalgia to it, and the vibe sits well with them.

inner universe: this song is all vibes for me, and it always makes me think of entering the territory of one of the liáfsian dragons and crossing paths with it. specifically the dragon i associate with leo.

no turning back: this score is fully for gwyn being on the run. the title, the strings, the faint ticking clock and building drums toward the end, the urgency throughout. it is, for better or worse, a reflection of what so much of her life has felt like.

give a fuck: sounds and feels like a nyxram song. hard to explain, this one just always makes me think of her.

resting grounds: this score's on my playlist for the liáfsian ruins, which is an area in the realm considered to be cursed ground (but no one knows or remembers why). the ruins are beautiful, peaceful. but you never quite have the sense that you're truly alone.

apocalypse: this song always makes me think of PtINL, i can't really explain why. it's on my personal playlist for the fic, and every time it comes on shuffle it just sends me back into thoughts of mikey, aloy, their travels and their bond.

voidfish (plural): first of all: LOVE the voidfish. second, this is another one of those scores that gives me the energy of encountering ancient liáfsian fae.

empires: this song always makes me think of a 'trailer' for gwyn and ash's arc. i think it's accurate not only for how the final conflict between gwyn, ash and darach will go down, but there's a hint at a much older threat in there and "the tides are turned" being that companionship has been found in the turtles.

neglected space: this song, without fail, always makes me think of and want to draw nyxram. there's something sad, lost and desperate to it.

Ki'to is the one I know of yours the most so far and I like his polycule so..

🎵

🎵

🎵

🎵

🎵

have five of them for whenever you feel the need! Ki'to or polycule related! I'll take any, I love songs.

I have been given a blessing this day, for I too love songs

In no specific order, have all 5 under the cut. <3

Famous by Skillet

This song was shoved into Ki'to's playlist specifically for his relationship with G'raha from the beginning of EW.

I testify, this is not a secret meant to keep Your love, like fire, spreading from my heart straight to my feet

And when I was dead, you gave me new life I'm lifting you up with all of my might I don't care who's to the left, to the right You're all that's on my mind Don't really care what they say, what they think I feel so alive

Listen, Ki'to was SO giddy when he pulled Raha out of that tower. After thinking he was lost to him, the excitement he felt was probably more than it should have been. But it was what he felt, and it was expressed as such. For the first week or so after, he would not leave Raha's side. The PDA got to the point where Alisaie dragged him away by the collar and told him to tone it down. They're way better with it now but hoo boy. This song just gives me that feeling in my chest I know he was feeling at that point.

Hollywood's Bleeding by Post Malone

This is THE Post-banquet song for Ki'to. For that whole flashback, you can read it here. But I'll go over these in chunks here as well.

Everyone's gone, but no one's leavin' Nobody left but us

As Ki'to lingers outside the ruins, Alphinaud begging him to hurry, all he can think of is everyone who stayed behind.

Outside, the winter sky turnin' grey City up in smoke, it's only ash when it rains

This is more the transition to Coerthas. The banquet felt like fire and smoke encircling and threatening to consume him. He couldn't move, couldn't breathe, his mind was spinning. He could barely discern snow from ash.

It seem like dying young is an honor But who'd be at my funeral? I wonder

It really did seem like the whole world was against him at that point. All of his friends gone save for a lone few. Who would mourn the Warrior of Light if he died then?

I go out, and all they eyes on me I show out, do you like what you see? And now they closin' in on me Let 'em sharpen all they teeth

Never before had Ki'to been so ready to fight anyone who even looked at him the wrong way. Every unknown face was an enemy. It took a WHILE for his hackles to finally relax.

Resurrection by TeZATalks

This is one of the songs I chose to encapsulate ShB for Ki'to.

I'm made from the root of a God's mind Holy darkness follows me close behind

Knowing what we know of Venat now, the first line here speaks to me. As for the second, Holy darkness makes a lot of sense with our mission on the First.

I'm rude but I'll give 'till my last dime Real love stays even for the fight All eyes on me, is that right? Well, let me show you why we all cry Sometimes, sometimes, yeah

Ki'to was willing to give his all to bring back the night. With every Lightwarden the light became heavier to bear, but even if it pushed him to tears he was going to press on. He had to. His loved ones were counting on him to save them.

When your heart's on fire and bleeding In a world of faceless demons, fight to see them Hell will come for the one whose soul reveals it But don’t break, back down; don't move, rise now, the real truth This is only the beginning of my true resurrection

At first glance you might think "Oh, faceless demons? Sin eaters?" Nah. This cluster of lyrics is about Amaurot. About the shades, the illusions of those he loves, Emet-Selch...

"This is only the beginning of my true resurrection" alluding to his own rejoining with another shard of his soul. Hades recognizing Azem at last.

Light by Nathan Wagner

This song I dedicate to the Ataiascope & Mothercrystal section of EW. Specifically the relationship between Ki'to and Hydaelyn.

I know you feel that it's too late That all these chains have you enslaved Just hang on Gonna see the truth

I feel this as him telling her all this was not a futile effort. That they will prevail and every effort she made to forestall the end of days was not in vain.

See I was falling into gray I lost my friend I couldn't save her

Post-Mothercrystal vibes, especially when reuniting with Krile.

Body ached my body bruised was crying out I need a savior And you came and healed my bones you picked me up and walked me home Said; you'll never be alone just lift your eyes I'll make you whole So darling please keep hanging on we're on our way to break the dawn Just a minute hold your ground father send your spirit down

His thanks to Hydaelyn for being there when he needed her (when she could), and a promise that he will be there for her as well.

Come, shine, shine, shine Shine your light Light, light, light Oh shine, shine, shine Shine your light, light, light Let there be Let there be Let there be Let there be Let there be light

This just gives me the mental image of him before her form after they prove themselves, just... begging for her to be okay. But knowing full well her light was spent.

Ki'to loved Hydaelyn/Venat like his own mother. To say he was heartbroken when she was gone would be an understatement. But in the back of his mind he was happy she'd finally be able to rest.

Home by Jacob Lee

And we'll end off with Ki'to's dedication to his husbands. <3

Each verse is dedicated to one of them:

Aymeric

I found love in a moment I watched your breath as it touched the wind As it painted the open air And it came to rest on my skin I don't know if you noticed But I found my heart in that moment

G'raha

I've found home There we lay by the water Almost asleep as I heard you say "I don't know if we're meant to be Though this certainly feels like fate" I don't know if you noticed But I fell in love in that moment

Estinien

As we stood by the ocean You reached for my hand and you said my name Every word I heard poetry I saw laughter upon your face I don't know if you noticed But I left my heart in that moment

And the bridge is dedicated to all three of them. <3

I've found home In my arms as you wake up (Home) In each direction this takes us (Home) In every breath that I make I'll know I've found home, I've found home Whether we lie in or stay up late I feel like we could just talk for days Through every hour I lay awake, all I know Is I've found home (Ohh, ohh) I've found home
