Cassian Rosier is a failure. A near-Squib in one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight families, he’s spent his life as the family’s punching bag... mocked, dismissed, and barely tolerated. But when a simple light spell becomes his last chance to prove himself, Cassian’s world shatters in a way none of them could have imagined.... more>>

Because the Cassian they knew? He is gone. In his place is a man from another world... our world. A man with no magic but a lifetime of teaching behind him, and only the vaguest memories of a “Harry Potter” series he never bothered to read or watch. Suddenly trapped in a body with a ruined reputation and no real power, the new Cassian has one goal... to survive.

When forced to give a lecture on magic, Cassian bluffs his way through by teaching Lumos... a spell he doesn’t know. But something strange happens. As hundreds of people learns from his lecture, mastery floods his mind. And then it happens again, an ancient variation of Lumos awakens, along with memories that don’t belong to him.

Some memories are benign, illuminating secrets of long-forgotten magic. Others are sharp, dark, and dangerous... leaving him to wonder whether he is drawing on wisdom or inviting something far worse into himself.

Now sent to Hogwarts as a professor, Cassian must juggle the expectations of his pureblood family, the suspicion of fellow teachers, and his own growing power. Every spell he teaches brings him closer to mastery... and to the ancient past that might consume him.

A snarky, slow-burn power fantasy about an accidental professor who teaches magic too well, unlocks spells no one remembers, and juggles ancient memories, family politics, and students who might be the end of him.

What to Expect

A reluctant but clever MC navigating Hogwarts, pureblood politics, and ancient magic.

Progression fantasy elements: teaching magic makes Cassian stronger over time.

A competent teacher MC (no “bumbling fool” energy here, but plenty of witty one-liners).

Slow-burn romance with a single female lead (Bathsheda Babbling).

Exploration of Hogwarts daily life from a professor’s POV, with banter, levity, and political scheming.

Content Warnings

Family dysfunction and emotional manipulation (Rosiers gonna Rosier).

Canon-typical prejudices (pureblood vs Muggle-born ideology), handled critically.

Occasional darker themes tied to ancient spell memories.

Slow-burn romance, no harem.

No gratuitous gore or smut.

Warning: May contain dangerous levels of sarcasm, accidental teaching competence, and the occasional romantic subplot you never signed up for. Proceed with tea. <<less

Rina Saeki is a beautiful, yet thoroughly burned out office worker. Toiling away at a job she hates for a boss who seems to despise her, she's been ground down over the years to the point where she finds it hard to enjoy *anything*. Even the clear affection of an adorable co-worker can't break through to her, she's far too tired to even *think* about a committed relationship.... more>>

Eager to break out of the malaise of corporate life, Rina risks it all on a dubious succubus summoning ritual. She's fully aware that it likely won't work, but she can't find it in her to care, it's the first thing she's been excited about in years.

When the ritual, against all odds, actually works, Rina's terrified of what the haughty, disinterested succubus she summons might do to her. Still, the two find unexpected common ground, and after a night of fun together, they agree to live by each other's side. This comes at a cost, however, and Rina finds herself transformed into a succubus, and bound to Haqua forevermore.

Now dealing with an altered body and crumbling inhibitions, Rina's determined to make this life far more exciting than the one she's led up until now, and finds herself immersed in pleasure she never imagined possible, all with a *very* loving succubus by her side. <<less

Tamara Slaine: attorney, wife, Martian. She endures the crushing gravity of the ancestral homeworld and the gladhanding and bootlicking that comes of managing the money of the elite for the sake of her clients, whom she represents in the legalistic hell of the Accord's courts, and for her wife, Judy, who she privately keeps as a pet totally free of any responsibilities.... more>>

When the Affini come, Tam's world is utterly upended. Her struggle against the State, once all-but-impossible, is over. Now her only concern is assisting the Affini as they help her incarcerated clients adjust to a new reality, and adjusting herself to the new reality of her alien overlords also keeping humans as pets. She finds herself questioning what it means to be Tam, what it means to "own" her wife, and even what it means to be human.

"You're not about to carry me out in bridal style again, are you?"... more>>

"Do you want me to?" He couldn't help but smirk. Her face from their date surfaced in his memories. He found it just as amusing as back then. Revenge never tasted sweeter. Would she make the same reaction right now?

It was tempting but the venue wasn't the best place for it.

"No!" Eve protested a little too loudly. She pressed her fingers against her mouth and scanned the premise. As she predicted, hundreds of eyes watched them. A groan escaped her lips. She buried her face on the side of his chest, inhaling his cologne.

"Are you sure?" Ambryan asked, genuinely concerned now. He held her chin and raised it. His violet eyes met her hazel ones. The blush on her cheeks had magnified in saturation. He couldn't tell anymore if it came from embarrassment or the alcohol.

Either way, it intrigued him on how much redder she could possibly be.

He leaned down and whispered in her ear. "I'd be gentle this time."

==============

Eve faced the most difficult decision in her life when an opportunity landed on her desk. And that is? To join a special dating site for the most eligible bachelor of the country,

Her boss.

As a secretary, Eve knew affiliations between her and her boss were forbidden. She must stay in his shadow where she didn't pose a threat to his lovers and his admirers. She had taken measures to fit the job, even changing her style of appearance.

Ambryan Hathaway, CEO of Eros Productions, disliked false information. The only ones he allowed were the ones he initiated himself. In order to please his mother, he had participated in the game of love with a string of flings.

Unfortunately, his mother had enough. She must find a way for him to open his eyes and his heart to meeting the right girl. That one spark would be enough for her son to consider marriage.

And who would be the better candidate than his own secretary?
