Harry Potter: The Accidental Champion

ShadowTyson
The Accidental Champion follows Harry Potter during the Triwizard Tournament—except things don’t go as they should. When the Goblet of Fire unexpectedly selects Harry as a fourth champion, he is thrown into a deadly competition he never entered. While the wizarding world doubts him and his best friend Ron grows distant out of jealousy, only Hermione Granger believes the truth. As Harry struggles with the burden forced upon him, something unexpected begins to change—his relationship with Hermione. What starts as quiet support soon turns into something deeper, leading to a heartfelt and surprising romance. Determined to escape the dangerous contract of the tournament, Hermione devises a clever—and slightly reckless—plan. By making Harry temporarily unable to compete, they exploit a loophole that allows him to name a replacement champion. The result? Ron Weasley becomes the new Triwizard Champion… while Harry watches from the sidelines, navigating love, friendship, and the chaos that follows. But with magical contracts, jealous friends, media attention, and hidden enemies lurking in the shadows, things are far from simple. What begins as a way to avoid danger quickly spirals into unpredictable consequences—affecting not just the tournament, but everyone involved. DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER. IT BELONGS TO JK.

Beauty and the Thief [BL]

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! Character driven, before plot! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same. ──── ୨୧ ──── There are occasional illustrations littered throughout the novel drawn by me (slowly commissioning to get others done), usually found in the comments! !!CREDIT!! Cover Art by @Sayoto (VGen) Illustrations by me (@meowssey) and zaza (@zazhah) (Both commissioned artists are amazing to work with and I highly recommend their work!)
