Summary
Pretending not to be hurt when the one person he actually could stand stopped fucking talking to him. Except it did hurt. A lot, actually.
He didn't understand why it affected him so terribly- nothing ever impacted his life enough to truly make him feel hurt or disappointed anymore. Expect nothing and nothing will disappoint you. How could he have ever let his composure slip and believe that anything good would come of it.
Everything was meaningless until Harry had to go and make it meaningful.

Summary
Ineluctable- that which cannot be escaped, resisted, or turned aside; the pull of fate itself.
Or, the one where Hermione Granger meets a boy she should fear, but instead tries to annotate, argue with, and then- quite by accident- fall for.

Summary
Hermione Granger never expected the strange book in Ginny’s hands at Flourish and Blotts to write back, let alone with the voice of a brilliant, devastatingly charming boy who seemed to understand her in ways no one else ever had. Tom Riddle never expected to wake in darkness, tethered to a girl whose ink fed him magic, whose mind fascinated him, and whose heart might just be his undoing.
As their bond deepens across years of stolen diary entries, Hermione begins to uncover a terrible truth. She is falling for the ghost of a monster. And when time itself becomes their enemy, she is forced to gamble everything. Steal McGonagall's Time Turner, prevent the creation of his Horcruxes, and love him before he becomes the Dark Lord. But the real Tom Riddle is not the boy in the diary, and some shadows cling harder than ink.

clairvoyance
/klɛːˈvɔɪəns/
noun
the supposed faculty of perceiving things or events in the future or beyond normal sensory contact."Don't you think," Riddle started, his dark eyes fleeting towards his night-patrol partner. "for someone with prophetic visions, you ought to be... more careful?"
Their steps faltered as Riddle turned to face him, holding the lantern close enough to illuminate both of their faces.
What greeted Riddle, creepily enough, was the ever-present smile on the other boy's pale face. He shook his head before asking "Am I not careful enough?" with a slight tilt of his head, as if the question itself was a joke.Riddle glared. "You know what I did, yet didn't tell anyone. Is that careful to you?"
"By a long shot, yes." Came the amused reply.Tom M. Riddle/Original male character

50 years ago, Tom Riddle’s soul was sealed into a diary, helplessly trapped within its pages. For decades, he sought to escape this prison of his own design.
So when a boy named Harry Potter begins writing to him, Tom seizes the opportunity to achieve his freedom. Harry is shockingly easy to possess, after all. Yet for some reason, Harry can retain consciousness while possessed, and worse, he can take control back. Being possessed by Tom doesn’t even seem to do anything to drain his vitality.
If Tom didn’t know better, he’d say that Harry’s soul was somehow used to sharing a body with Tom’s own. But that was impossible, wasn’t it?
