Happy Anniversary, Hogwarts Legacy!

My HL journey started on May 5th, but I'm just happy this fandom is still around and thriving, and I am so glad to be a part of it! It took me 10 days to finish the game in my first run (before I dove in time and time again with new MCs and spent even more days and weeks and months in the game), and this is how my precious Nebbia looked in her original (shoddy PS4) form:

She's come quite a ways from that. Also, I wish I would have played on PC to begin with, but oh well, this way I had two HL experiences, and I am more than happy about it!

It certainly helped in keeping up my creativity and productivity over a freakishly long time. I've written 352,529 words in seven months, 270,038 on my AO3 alone, (which for me is quite a lot), I've learned to write things I have never written before (I went from innocent fanfiction writer to something I cannot talk with my family about), and all of it because of some pixels on my screen. It's pretty incredible.

And on top of that, I've met lovely people to share in my weird thoughts and delusions and overall excitement about this game and its characters. I've never been active on social media, I've always been a silent lurker, watching and consuming, but I learned that creating and sharing my work and engaging with other like-minded people is quite something, something I like to do and want to do more.

And I thank you, dear followers and anyone who stumbles upon this, for interacting with me in whatever way you choose. I see you, and I am happy you spend your time with my stuff.

I am also grateful to be a part of such a creative community. I've also never read this much in my life as I did the last nine months, ever since I stepped into this fandom. And it's not just the fanfics and oneshots and headcanons, it's the art works, the AI adventure (which bot am I gonna talk to today, hm?) we all embarked on (and bless whoever started using ElevenLabs to keep that voice kink flourishing!), the thousands of shared screenshots, all these different MCs, and all those other ways people contributed to this fandom - it was/is a joy to see you guys' different kinds of creative outlets!

So thank you, HL fandom, for your continuous contributions, keeping our mutual obsessions alive! But also for just being here, consuming and supporting and providing inspiration and motivation! Thank you!

Onto more years!

MorgenSallow - Anniversary

Sebastian’s heart raced, just thinking already about her. He sent a note to Aida to meet him up the cliffs, before the sun reaches the horizon. For a last moment & a perfect ending of their anniversary celebration, he planned to share a broom & fly around. So he asked Albie to replace the saddle into a bigger one, to make them fit comfortably. He was deep in thoughts, he didn’t hear her arrival.

- Did I make you wait? - she spoke, as she approached him.

- Not at all. - he smiled. - Just in time… come…

He extended his hand toward her, to make her come closer. He held the broom & helped her to hop on, then he sat behind her, holding her steady.

- Can I ask you for something? Before we take off… Close your eyes. Go on!

Aida looked at him in surprise, but she did what he asked. She closed her eyes, as she sat on the broom, knowing she didn’t need to be afraid to fall in mid-air.

- Okay, hold onto the broom, we’re taking off, don’t peek!

- I won’t. - she replied.

Sebastian slowly led the broom to take off & flew off the cliffs to the sea.

- You’re not peeking, aren’t you?

- I wouldn’t. - she giggled, wondering what he's up to now.

They reached the open waters, flying meters above the sea.

- Do you trust me?

- I trust you.

Hearing this, he slowed down, to hold her arms to spread her arms out, while he managed to hold her steady. Aida let her arms spread out, she also felt his hands around her waist.

- Alright… open your eyes.

Aida obeyed, then she let out a surprised gasp. The sun reached the horizon, giving a beautiful view, flying above the sea, and the chilly breeze softly blew through her hair.

- Bash… this… - her voice chuckled in excitement. Like she doesn’t pay attention to the broom, like it’s not even below them, she felt like she was flying on her own. - This is magnificent!

She didn’t let her arms down, she wanted to savor this moment. Sebastian took the speed up, just to give a light boost to the feeling.

- I was a bit uncertain when I thought about this. - he whispered. - I hope it’s not as cheesy as I think.

She slowly turned her head back, Sebastian leaned to her led by his instincts, their lips slowly made contact. The kiss was tender & soft, and it took a long time.

- I think it’s perfect for ending this day… our day. - Aida whispered, after they pulled away. - And thank you again for this. I still cannot find the right words to describe. You gave me something i'll never forget.

- I’m glad then. - He leaned forward to kiss her again. - Happy anniversary, Princess.

- Happy anniversary to you too, Bash.

One Year Post!

Hey, I figured I would post something like everyone else has since we're at the one-year anniversary of Hogwarts Legacy.

I've always been a fandom lurker until Hogwarts Legacy came along. This game has completely cured my fandom blues from Star Wars. I'm completely back in my Harry Potter era (not that I really ever left, but I'm totally obsessed again).

I wrote a fanfic once when I was a teenager, long before the days of AO3. It's wild to get back into writing again (fanfic especially) as a middle-aged adult. Often I feel too embarrassed to tell people IRL what I'm writing, so I keep it to myself, but you know what? I'm going to keep doing it because I love it. I am having so much fun writing and interacting with this fandom. I'm drawing again, too! My thirteen-year-old self would be so proud.

Thank you, Hogwarts Legacy, for getting me back into some creative hobbies, introducing me to a bunch of cool people, making me try out Discord to better get to know said people, improving my sex life (HA! Sorry if it's TMI but writing and reading smut has definitely helped!), and letting my imagination run free again! My world has changed all because of this game. 🥰

I’m late but happy 1 year anniversary to Hogwarts Legacy!!! I wanted to get this done before then but since I’m a beginner with no skills, it took me longer than I thought. My drawing and coloring skills are absolute shit but I wanted to join everyone in having a character sheet and posting something for the anniversary 😅 This is my mc Sophronia de Vere from my first playthrough. She’s based off of me but obviously I can’t use my real name if I want to use her publicly, so this is the name I came up with. I wish I was good at drawing so I could have been doing so many HL pieces 😭 my mind is screaming for it but I lack the skills.

[myokk]

She hears him calling her name as she flees down the spiral staircase, almost tripping over her feet in her rush to get away from him, but he catches up quickly, reaching out to grab her arm in an attempt to slow her down. She stops running immediately - she supposes her traitorous body wants to see what he has to say, or maybe it just wants to bask in his intoxicating proximity. He crowds her space, and she sees that unfamiliar look in his eyes again. So very different from the cold disdain she had seen the last time she had been this close to him, during the argument that had ended their friendship.

Oh, Merlin, he's getting closer to her, and she can now clearly see the freckles dusting his cheeks and nose and forehead and then before she knows it, his hand is sliding up her arm, leaving goosebumps everywhere he touches and then he's caressing her jaw with his rough thumb and he pauses. Her eyelids flutter closed as her head tilts towards him - she couldn't stop herself even if she wanted to (what does she want?). She can feel his warm breath ghosting over her lips and she has the improbable, ridiculous thought - how is he remembering to breathe? - before he speaks. His lips brush against hers with every soft word and a deep shiver runs through her body.

"I," she hears him say, his voice so, so low, "haven't been able to think since last week."

That's all she needs to hear, the brush of his bottom lip against hers all she needs to feel, to push her into closing what minuscule distance there is between them and then his lips are on hers and it's better than anything she's been imagining. His mouth is soft against hers, insistent, and her hands go up to grip the collar of his plaid jacket to make sure he doesn't go away or disappear on her.

On this day, a year ago, i made my very first olileandre fanart and I haven't stopped since. These two have been my comfort and brought me nothing but happiness ever since they came into my life💘

Happy 1st year anniversary to the best thing that's ever happened to me! ❤️😊💚

[aesopsharpmybeloved]

On this day a year ago, I published my first Hogwarts Legacy fic Some Like It Sharp. Back then I had no idea just how it would explode, and I'm still so grateful for every new read of it. But more than that, I am grateful for what followed - it was thanks to this fic that I met the incredible @tea-withjamandbread who has been the best friend to me this past year, showing me do much kindness and companionship, and I try to do my best at reciprocating. And I met so so many other friends thanks to taking this little leap of faith and publishing my work. I'll try my best to tag all, but if I miss anyone, please feel free to contact me and kick my bum for forgetting you 😅 @dzajna @thriftstorebabayaga @endeavour12345 @ynyseira @julietpricee @empyreanroses @voxophile @misssugarcat @roomofretirement @phinik-nonw @sharpcroft @ladyelizabethraven @juneymont @aesopsharpstuff @superconductivebean @coffeeandmagicaltales @gufu-vire @rebeca-r @fizzlewick @dreambender96 @coolmiaw @megskoomapirate @theauthor2103

I'm sorry if I forgot anyone 😅

Thank you all so much that this past year I was able to write, draw, and grow by your side and with your input. It hadn't been the easiest year, but I found that the rewards of it outshine all pain 💖 You're brilliant people, thank you so much.

And thank you for reading Some Like it Sharp ❤️

*sets a plate with an extra large fairy cake topped with a singular shiny, golden candle in front of Nosy's nest*

Happy Mine Day.

You absolute menace.

Happy Mine Day 💚🧁

Nosy was busy adoring his treasures when a shiny golden light suddenly caught his attention. His sparkly eyes widened, fixating on the gleaming beacon of brilliance. Abandoning his current conquest, a particularly captivating silver badge, Nosy scurried towards the source of the golden glow.

There it was - a sight that made his heart skip a beat! A plate adorned with an extra-large cake! Nosy blinked, his small heart fluttering with excitement. A cake for Nosy? A whole cake? For this humble Niffler? The very thought seemed too good to be true. Well deserved, of course, but still so unexpected.

Nosy's gaze darted back and forth between the sugary, creamy delight and Sebastian. With each passing second, the Niffler's excitement grew, and he couldn't contain himself any longer.

His tail began to wag furiously, and with a bound, he leaped towards his beloved wizard. His tiny claws finding purchase as he scrambled up to Sebastian's face to shower him with affectionate pecks and kisses, his happy honking sounds filling the air.

A few moments after his wet display of affection, Nosy gracefully descended from the Niffler Papa, and with a decisive huff, the little master of flames extinguished the golden candle. Time to dig in!

Diving snout-first into the cake, Nosy savoured the sweet taste of victory with each delectable bite. It was so delicious! And yet, amidst his indulgence, a fleeting thought crossed his mind. Pausing for just a moment, the little Niffler pondered before reaching a conclusion.

With a determined glint in his eyes, Nosy carefully selected a sizable portion of the cake, cradling it in his little paws. With purposeful steps, he waddled over to Sebastian once again, offering him the (in Sebastian's hands rather small) morsel with a honk of generosity while still wagging his tail incessantly.

Nosy would always share everything with Sebastian. That's how it always has been, and that's how it always will be.

With a gentle nuzzle of his head against Sebastian's hand, Nosy looked up at him with eyes that sparkled with gratitude and devotion. The two of them had been together for so long now, a constant companion through thick and thin, partners in crime, friends, and family rolled into one.

Every day with Sebastian was an adventure, filled with laughter, mischief, and love. And as he settled against Sebastian's side, Nosy knew that no matter what the future held, he and Sebastian would face it together, forever bound by their unbreakable bond.

Show 'Em (What You're Made Of)

I've seen it all a thousand times Falling down I'm still alive, am I? Am I? So hard to breathe when the water's high No need to swim I'll learn to fly, so high, so high You find the truth in a child's eyes When the only limit is the sky Living proof I see myself in you When walls starts to close in Your heart is frozen over Just show 'em what you're made of When sun light is fading The world will be waiting for you Just show 'em what you're made of ~Backstreet Boys

After setting up the group shot, I just wanted to render Hellendil after the style of the music video. X3

OMG!!! the amount of work and time that was put into this by the AMAZING @/dreaminginther1 on HL Twitterverse!!! Even the free backgrounds she made have these adorable details (the lil Snidget, the mini Summoners' Court 😗😆)! 😮🤩😍 Maine (OP's MC) is just too CUTE! Thank you so much for including my MC in this awesome project! 😚🥰💛💙

[moongurl95]

had LOTS of days. still this fandom is a drug that helps with those kind of days... 😊

Many fanfic writers and artists are just one bad day or one discouraging experience away from throwing in the towel and leaving your fandom.

If you don't want to risk this happening to a favorite creator of yours, today might be a good day to let them know how much their work means to you. :)
