AUTHOR'S NOTE JANUARY 12, 2025Since there is word of an impending Ao3 ban in the United States,my works will also be able to be found on the following websitesfor those readers who don't have access to the built in vpn in Opera:-Wattpad (HyliaofHyrule/SkylaofNocturne)-Quotev (SkylaofNocturne)-And if I can get it working the way I need, PillowfortAll writings are in the process of being reworked again as well, so please bear with me.I will not be deleting my works off of here, and I will be updating/checking them throughmy browser's built in vpn.*Story is intended as a backstory and explanation for the female character from my ficThe Heart of the Serpent, and takes place between the beginning of the events ofHogwarts Legacy and graduation*This particular fic contains no happy endings, so be warned. The happy ending forthis story takes place in the sequel fic, and it should be noted that Ominis and Laurelwill not be happy and sweet by the end of Venomous.We're only going over the basics and some major events from the story line of the game,so it won't be one of those ridiculously long fics that goes over every detail of every majorquest ^-^ From there we're moving straight on to the summer after and 6th and 7th years.The dialogue may also vary from the game, mostly to suit my needs throughout the story.Also, if you're coming from one of my other fics, you may notice a distinct lack of Explicittags, mostly due to the fact that I am not particularly comfortable writing romance aboutminors, so I plan to keep all of the romance PG. This story is mostly to focus on how Laurelgot from a brazen, brave 15 year old girl to the quiet, reserved 25 year old she is inThe Heart of the Serpent.I will be alternating updates between this one, the sequel fic for The Heart of the Serpent,and some one-shots for Leander Slander <3All stories are cross-posted on Wattpad and Quotev
