    When Harry Potter has the opportunity to erase Voldemort before the Dark Lord can resurrect, he finds out that walking a fine line between his own morality and the good of this world is more complicated than Harry could have ever imagined. While unable to let go of his past, he discovers a whole different side of magic too, and a different side to the man who shows him this. Slow Burn, eventual HPLV.

    Summary

    Six years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Auror Hermione Granger activated a mysterious dark object, which unexpectedly sent her decades into the past.

    Tom Riddle, now known as Voldemort, returned to British wizarding society in 1966 after a decade-long absence. Under the guise of interviewing for the Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching position, he arrived at Hogwarts to conceal one of his Horcruxes. But he soon discovered that the coveted position had been stolen a week earlier by an intriguing witch.

    As manipulative schemes emerged, tension evolved into a ruinous obsession.

    Summary

    Voldemort, unexpectedly short on money and growing tired of both Wormtail's existence and Nagini's incessant pleas to eat the wizard, has a most brilliant idea: crowdfunding, and the first reward tier is a livestreamed broadcast of Nagini getting her wish. It is a massive success - and the people demand more.

    Said 'people' just so happens to include one Boy-Who-Lived.

    Summary

    Appetence: defined as an attraction, a natural affinity, or an instinctive desire. In other words, it's a cosmic sort of bond that clouds the mind until all thought is consumed by that singular point of infatuation.

    When Voldemort divines what Harri Potter truly means to him in the graveyard, a festering obsession begins. His horcrux. A part of his wayward soul, crafted from his marrow, magic, and might— his very own damning appetence.

    He knows what has been kept from him, what rightfully belongs at his side, and now?

    Well.

    Now, he wants her back.

    Summary

    Being a Parselmouth came with the inherent predisposition to understand snake behaviours and imitate them. It was relieving Harry wasn’t going to kill anyone with venom, nor petrify them with his gaze. But also, somewhat frustrating as it was all completely useless. None of the skills that came with being a Parselmouth would help Harry survive Voldemort.

    It might, in fact, have the opposite effect. For all Riddle's fury that Harry was the cause of his elder self’s defeat, he was fascinated by the fact Harry was also a Parselmouth. He had grabbed Harry’s face, turning him side to side looking bemusedly enraptured by Harry’s threat display. “At your age, I was imitating much more vicious snakes than this, Harry.”

    That may have been all well and good, but Harry didn’t feel very vicious. He felt very threatened and in over his head.

    Summary

    Bella threw her head back and laughed, the sound like little bells. Harry wondered how such a beautiful woman could have a personality like rotten fruit. "Is that a threat, ickle bickle prince Potter?" she cooed.

    Harry said nothing, firmly looking away, and she suddenly turned serious.

    "Duke Thomas is a powerful man," she hummed in a low tone. "I've been acquainted with him for quite some time, and he's always gotten what he wants."

     

    In a bastardisation of Shakespeare's Hamlet, Harry's mother remarries shortly after his father's death to James' half-brother, Thomas, much to Harry's confusion and disgust. First a duke, now a king, it seems that nothing will stand in his uncle's way when it comes to getting what he wants. Not Lily, not propriety, and most certainly not Harry himself.

    Summary

    An orphan, Harry Potter has done everything he can to avoid notice during his five years at Hogwarts so far. He’s only got one friend, is purposefully in the middle of his class rankings, and his only ambition, wizarding-wise, is to graduate with enough N.E.W.T.s to get a loan and open up a bookstore.

    And then he somehow finds himself in the sights of Tom Riddle, resident golden boy of Slytherin and darling of Hogwarts…

    Summary

    “Harry, please,” Death says beseechingly. “You haven’t even heard the full punishment yet.”

    “Oh? There’s more?”

    “Tom Riddle will be in your custody for five years,” Death finishes. “Five years is how long that Fate has deemed you should be punished with the presence of your worst enemy."


    A hundred years after the end of the Second War, Harry Potter, Master of Death, unwittingly helps the last fragment of Lord Voldemort’s soul escape Limbo. Now, bound by Fate to Tom Riddle for the next five years, Harry has to coexist with the man he feared the most.


    Or: Auror M.O.D. Harry and Tom Riddle strike an uneasy truce and solve crimes together, and Harry has to decide if his capacity to save everyone includes everyone, really.

    OR: an excuse for Harry and Tom to be a crime-fighting duo like Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, while also trying not to strangle each other.

    Summary

    All his life, Harry has been beaten and bullied—both at home and at school. When a lifeline manifests in the form of a deal with Bellatrix Black, Harry latches onto it without thinking of the consequences. Not long after, Harry begins to question how far he is willing to go to maintain his newfound popularity at school.

    New student Tom Riddle is handsome, charming, and dangerous. On the second day of school, he flattens Dudley and Piers in the middle of the school cafeteria. Harry has all the reasons in the world to stay far, far away from him.

    It's a damn shame that Harry doesn't.
