Summary
When Tom Riddle’s Killing Curse rebounds on Halloween 1981, he isn’t ripped from his body. Instead, he’s flung forward to 2001—where the Dark Lord disappeared without a trace twenty years ago, and the Boy-Who-Lived is just trying to live an ordinary life studying his beloved magical creatures.
Oh, and he’s also sane again—for the first time in a disturbingly long while.
How will he make use of this unexpected fresh start? Who did Harry grow up to be, with a (mostly) peaceful childhood?
Sometimes fate and magic have a roundabout way of bringing soulmates together…

Summary
Everyone always says Harry Potter has unnaturally good luck, but he’s not convinced. He’s nothing special, just your average bloke trying to make his way in the world.
Tom Riddle, top-ranked professional poker player, makes his own luck, thank you very much. And he isn’t about to let anyone get in his way.
When a business trip, a poker tournament, and adjacent rooms in Caesar’s Palace set these two stars of fortune on a collision course, what happens next is very unlikely to stay in Vegas.

Summary
Ginny Weasley is a confident young woman with powerful magic and two handsome best friends—the golden boy she’s known forever, and a darkly charismatic newcomer. It’s almost like one of those novels she’s seen around the Muggle bookstores…
…Or maybe not. Because everyone is the protagonist in their own story, and sometimes a love triangle looks entirely different from another angle.
Tomarry, from Ginny’s perspective: A story of trying to choose between two boys, watching them choose each other, and learning to choose yourself.

Summary
Tom Riddle, Hogwarts’s beloved Defense professor, doesn’t know what happened to his top student Harry Potter over the summer, but by Merlin he’s going to find out. The normally brash and cheerful boy is now jumpy and haunted-looking, refusing to make eye contact in class and avoiding him in the corridors. Tom has seen enough traumatized and abused magical children to recognize the signs, and he won’t rest until he’s helped Harry and ensured his safety, just as he’s done for so many before him.
Meanwhile, Harry doesn’t know how he woke up in a parallel universe where the Dark Lord is teaching Defense and has the whole world hoodwinked. But he’s the savior, damnit, and he’s going to protect this world—and his now-alive parents—even if he has to do it alone. No matter what unconventional tactics Voldemort is using now.
A story of good intentions, miscommunication, and straight-up shenanigans.

Summary
Based off a prompt on Reddit by DumpsterFireScented.
Severus Snape was everyone’s favorite teacher. He made Potions fun, and almost every student continued his class all the way up to 7th year. He never gave any House or student special treatment over the others, and took special care with the most timid first years until they became confident brewers. When Harry Potter came to Hogwarts, no one was really surprised that he took the small, slightly nervous boy under his wing.
