Summary
PURGE PROMPT: TEMPTATION
When Harry first arrives at Hogwarts from the Dursleys’, it feels like paradise. Like a walled garden kept safe and secret from the rest of the world, with as much food as he wants and warm, comfortable beds and green as far as they eye can see outside his window. The people here even remind him a little of animals, the way the students move from place to place like a school of fish or a flock of birds.
He’s sorted into Ravenclaw, the House of Knowledge. Which fits him perfectly because wants to spend all seven years reading every book in the library, there’s just so much to learn.
In which Harry is Eve, Quirrellmort is somehow both Adam and the Serpent, and the author is sleep deprived.

PURGE PROMPT: ABANDON
Approaching the next house—Number Four—Tom spotted what looked like yet another bundle of rags, this one discarded right on the doorstep. Some sort of prank, maybe?

...It whimpered.
OR: Tom Riddle, six-year-old orphan and milkman’s assistant, finds a baby abandoned on a doorstep in Surrey while helping with the morning deliveries.

PURGE XL PROMPT: INTERNATIONAL TEA DAY
“Danger!” Harry repeated, starting to warm to his role a little. “Yes, exactly, something bad is coming—and, uh, imminently, too! You must correct your course now, before the hour grows too late…”
”Really? Where? Show me, show me where it says that!” The other boy scooted his chair over so he was right next to Harry, peering into the cup himself with round, anxious eyes. Merlin, was he really buying this?
Or: Stuck in 1943 and partnered with Tom Riddle in a Divination class, Harry takes a creative approach to preventing the rise of Lord Voldemort.

Summary
“Our eyes met! We have to fight now, that’s the rules,” declared the tall, almost manic-looking boy who came charging out at Harry like a wild Rattata. “Get ready to lose. I picked Charmander because it’s obviously the best, I walked all the way here from the orph—from home last night and slept on the pavement to get the best one first!”
Or: Tom and Harry are aspiring Pokemon trainers, growing up alongside their teams and one another over seven years and a journey across the whole of Kanto.

Summary
The hum of the engine shifted from behind to directly beside him, now accompanied by the whirr of an electric window being rolled down. A long, lean arm and hand extended through the opening, pianist’s fingers tapping on the car’s sleek dark-green, almost black exterior; it was shortly followed by a strong shoulder and a face with equally sharp lines at the jaw, nose and cheekbones.
”Get into the car, Harry,” the man at the wheel said. His voice was a low rumble that matched that of his luxury Aston Martin, belied by a mostly playful tone.
Or: Harry Potter learns to let himself have good things.
Written for the Purge XL prompt “Interlinked”.

Summary
By the time Tom managed to get to his feet and rush over to the window, Potter and his cargo were both well through it (revealing the back of a pair of well-toned calves and a surprisingly pert ass in the process). Tom stuck his upper body through and prepared to vault over the sill himself, expecting a fire escape of some sort, only to pull back just in time when he realized that it opened on nothing but a sheer brick wall.
...And Potter was descending it like he was at a bloody climbing gym, nimble fingers gripping the cracks in the mortar assuredly, not even looking down. No, rather, he was glaring defiantly back upward, straight into Tom’s stunned face.
Or: Tom Riddle, professional process server extraordinaire, struggles mightily to corner his latest assignment. Harry Potter, semi-professional escape artist, refuses to be taken alive.

Summary
“YOU KILLED MY PARENTS—YOU KILLED SIRIUS! SO MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE! I WILL NEVER, EVER, LOVE YOU OR FORGIVE YOU, NEVER! GO AWAY!!!”
Well. This was certainly progress, even if it came delivered with more than a little hyperbole and a complete absence of tact. He finally had real information, something concrete he could work with. Here, for the first time, was an inkling of exactly what it was that had hardened Harry’s heart, what Tom would need to fix if he was to eventually carve out a little space all his own within those bloody, beating red chambers.
Lucius and Severus had been strongly hinting lately that he should take up a hobby; and since his top choice of renovating the gardens together with Harry was still a no-go for now, a little bit of experimental magic would have to suffice.
OR: Even after signing the peace treaty and entering into sacred matrimony with his new Horcrux husband, Tom is frustrated and sad over Harry’s refusal to give their relationship a chance. So he decides to do something about it, in a way that only an ex-Dark Lord turned Minister for Magic could find reasonable.
Written for the Purge prompt “Reunion”.

Summary
The gauntlet fits him snugly still, its slightly awkward bulk tucked out of sight inside his cloak, the fingers on his other hand rubbing over and over the Stones set into the knuckles. He supposes he might wear it always now, as a reminder to himself and others of his power, his ascension to godhood—not, he insists to himself, because he senses the deadened flesh and muscle that lies beneath it, felt the nerves in his fingers blow like fuses before he’d even fully snapped them; because he knows that if he were to remove it, there’d be nothing but a blackened husk where his hand used to be, one of two taken, as if he’d paid his own small tithe to Infinity.
“What have you done?”
Or: His heart set on winning the affections of the elusive Master of Death, Tom gathers the Infiinty Stones and eliminates half the life in the universe.

Summary
Harry pressed his lips together and simmered down, but refused to apologize for what had been a perfectly reasonable question. “What kind of solution?” he asked, highly skeptical of this out-of-nowhere proposal. “And why would you even care?”
”Call it a personal interest in maintaining the current excellent character of my neighborhood.” Riddle shrugged one shoulder casually, but his eyes were now looking Harry up and down like he’d just been doing with the apartment; the effect was more distracting by an order of magnitude. “As for my offer—why, it’s a simple quid pro quo. I provide you with the funds to pay your rent, with the option to repeat the transaction in future months—“
”Why would you ever do that, it’s like a thousand quid and you don’t even know me—“
”…and in return, you allow me to take certain…liberties.” His gaze now strayed unmistakably downward, as he leaned against the doorframe and…holy fuck, did he just lick his lips!?
Or: Faced with an unexpected financial reversal, Harry can’t make the rent on his nice new apartment. His neighbor might just be able to help him out.

Summary
Are you sure these ‘Merlin Trials’ are really a thing?” Harry asked. “I mean, the bloke had a bit of a reputation for being a trickster and Slytherins in general sometimes get suckered in by exciting rumors.” Which is probably a big reason why both of us were Sorted there in the first place, he thought sullenly to himself.
“They’re real,” Tom said vehemently, his high cheekbones spotting with color. “My great-great-uncle Ominis’s husband Sebastian’s good friend found tons when she went here, and she was a Ravenclaw for your information—“
”Yeah, yeah, I know,” Harry said quickly, “you told me and all, but, uh, your great-uncle also said this friend of his raised baby unicorns in the Room of Requirement and fought through an entire goblin mine single-handedly.”
”She was a very special person, Harry.”
Or: Harry and Tom, best friends and proud Slytherins, set off on a quest across a massive swamp in search of the legendary Merlin Trials.

Summary
There was a boom, and a blazing symbol burst into the air above the castle: a phoenix, its outstretched wings painted against the night sky in flames of red, orange, yellow and white, beak raised straight up in a triumphant screech.
The Headmaster swore under his breath.
”Dumbledore,” he gritted out, tightening his grip around Harry even as he drew his long, knobby wand and began moving forward with quick, even strides; Harry reached into his pocket and curled his fingers around his own holly. “Rosmerta, summon the Aurors…and the Knights.”
Or: In his sixth year, Harry goes on a trip with his Headmaster and mentor to a cave by the sea, to retrieve an important artifact. But when they return, they find the castle under attack by their enemies.
Written for the Purge prompt “Seven Deadly Sins”.

Summary
”I expect you to treat this bloody borrow-and-beg like your own child, Potter,” he hissed as they made their way back to the castle. Harry—who was cradling the egg, a tiny light-brown thing with a spattering of dark speckles, carefully in his mittened hands—almost dropped it at the slip of Cockney that he hadn’t heard from Riddle since first year. “If it gets turned into an omelet by a Bludger while you’re playing your imbecilic sport, they will never find your body.”
”I’d worry less about me breaking it and more about you keeping it warm,” Harry retorted, holding the egg protectively away from Riddle’s glare—vibes that rancid couldn’t be good for a developing creature. “You couldn’t melt butter in those icy hands of yours, let alone support life.”
… When Harry came to retrieve the egg that evening, there was a toad tied to the top of it.
“RIDDLE!”
Harry and Tom get paired up for the ol’ “take care of an egg together” project for Care of Magical Creatures. Tom tries to put his own Slytherin spin on the assignment, and soon they’re both more invested than they’d anticipated.

Summary
“You have to promise me—promise you won’t waste it.” Tom bites his tongue. “Promise me you’ll become great, not just sit for decades missing me, moldering and letting moss grow over you…”
Moss, he thinks, sounds like a comforting prospect right now. A moss-covered stone doesn’t feel, doesn’t notice the passing of the years or experience the loss and yearning that will only increase as each one goes by.
The Minister has never been known to take a lover, never been photographed over a candlelit dinner with a fellow prominent wix or caught in an embrace with someone scandalous. His oldest associates say that he had someone precious once; a boy he called not just his love but his soulmate. There are rumors that Riddle is still waiting for him to come back, that that’s why he studied alchemy for a decade, made a Philosopher’s Stone and still looks no older than thirty. But that would be madness, surely.
Harry travels through time, loves Tom Riddle, and changes the trajectory of his life forever. And then, he disappears.
Tom waits.
Written for the Purge XL prompt “Trial of the Bow”.
