tom riddle doesn’t love the way mortals do; he claims, he possesses, he devours. to him, you’re something rare, something to be protected, displayed, and adored until there’s nothing left untouched. in his world of marble halls, whispered power, and sin dressed as elegance, love isn’t soft—it’s an obsession wrapped in velvet and gold. and when tom decides you belong to him, the world learns just how dangerous it is to be spoiled by a monster.
you grew up loving mattheo riddle long before you even understood what love meant—your families intertwined, your childhoods overlapping, your crush becoming a quiet, permanent truth. you were supposed to be the level-headed one, the girl with other priorities, the one who didn’t chase attention the way your best friend did. céline was the golden one—beautiful, adored, impossible to compete with, even when you never meant to compete at all.
(MODERN FAME AU) he’s famous, adored, never alone. you’re barely known, standing in the wrong room. he notices you anyway. nothing about that is accidental.
you’re a longtime family friend of the riddles, staying at their house for the summer while your parents are away. you’ve always had an easy, sibling-like dynamic with tom and mattheo — sarcastic, close, uncomplicated. except this summer, tom feels different: more intense, more jealous, and looking at you like something’s shifted. when their cousin arrives with a too-sweet friend you don’t trust, the house fills with tension, late nights, clubbing, and messy chaos.
After a leaked video from a wild New York night threatens your career, your parents drag you back to Beverly Hills — the place you were never meant to outgrow. At St. Augustine Academy, privilege plays by different rules, and survival means learning how West Coast wealth destroys you quietly.
this is a hogwarts where no one cares enough to behave. hormones are everywhere, parties happen nightly, and sneaking out is basically tradition. somewhere in the middle of it all are theodore nott, mattheo riddle, and draco malfoy — the most wanted boys in the school, unfortunately aware of the fact. everyone’s watching them, everyone’s talking about them, and a not-so-secret fan group known as the coven follows like a bad omen.
