Summary
Harry Potter never asked to be "The Boy Who Lived." He never wanted the whispers, the stares, or the constant pressure to be a shining beacon of hope for a world he barely knew. From the moment he entered Hogwarts, everyone seemed to have an idea of who he should be-- a savior, a symbol, a hero. But no one ever asked him what he wanted, or bothered to wonder who he actually was beneath the scar and the story.
So when Harry finds Tom Riddle's diary, it's less a moment of destiny and more a quiet turning point. He doesn't fall into darkness; he simply realizes he doesn't fit neatly into the light.
Caught between the expectation of the light and the brutal honesty of the dark, Harry chooses the one person who doesn't ask him to be a prophecy, a weapon, or a savior. Someone who sees him not as The Boy Who Lived, but simply as Harry.
And somewhere along the line, Harry realizes he might trust Voldemort more than anyone else.
Not because he's good. But because with Voldemort, at least he knows the truth.
And Voldemort, for the first time in his life, finds someone he might actually care to keep.

On the Self-Destructive Duality of a Host–Horcrux System by CrediblyDisavowed for Rouch
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
14 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Extract from the thesis of Dr. Hermione Granger: The fragmentary entity within the Horcrux–Host system exhibited escalating maladaptive behaviour when exposed to sustained stress and the persistent proximity of its two hosts. Much has been speculated after the fact, but without a firsthand account it is impossible to truly understand the dualistic forces that drove it to such catastrophic miscalculation. If, of course, such an account could be trusted. Horcrux!PoV. Written for Rouch during the HMS Harmony Secret Santa 2025 event.

Summary
Tom Riddle is the Ministry’s youngest undersecretary—elegant, brilliant, and carefully constructed. Harry Potter is an Auror, heir to a beloved name, raised in warmth, legacy, and light. They meet during an international summit in Prague, where Harry is assigned as Tom’s personal guard. What begins as obligation ignites into something far more dangerous: a romance built on friction, fascination, and the quiet ache of being seen.
A year later, they share a flat in London. A life, of sorts. Something fragile and hard-won—made of compromise, silence, and the hope that love might be enough.
But Harry doesn’t know much about Tom’s past. And Tom never offers.
Until one brutal fight cracks the façade—and Harry begins to unravel the man behind the polish, the myth, the performance.
Secrets spiral loose. A missing girl. A Ministry drowning in rot. And at the centre of it all: the man Harry loves, and the question he never wanted to ask.
How well can you really know someone?

Summary

This fic is a re-write of Naga.

Tom Riddle and Nagini: Two Serpent Souls by tominisnakes

Summary
Let's dot the i's and cross the t's regarding the canon and logic of the Tom Riddle/Nagini ship.
Nagini, who in J.K. Rowling's canon (according to her script!) was indeed human at first. Tom was
unusually deeply attached to her, and this is confirmed in the sixth book. Undoubtedly, Nagini
occupied the FIRST place among all his followers for various reasons.
JKR left us with many plot holes, which are “patched up” and explained in this article.
The time has come to publish this analytical work on an extremely neglected but logical and
harmonious fandom pairing that existed in the canon. This article may help those authors who
want to write about this pairing but don't know how to approach it. This material debunks many
myths and allows both readers and authors to take a fresh look at Tom Riddle, and Nagini.
My co-author from Tumblr herself suggested that I publish all these facts. -

Summary
My name is Harry Potter. The writing disappears from the diary page.
Hello Harry Potter, my name is Tom Riddle. It appears in its place in elegant handwriting.
~ What did I tell you about that diary?! ~ The now familiar voice speaks in my head.
"That I shouldn't write it in?"
~ Then why are you doing it? ~
"Because I knew you would say that, Marvolo!"
~ You won! What do you want? ~
"The Dursleys are getting on my nerves again!"
~ I see, then I'll tell you a story. What about Grindelwald's war? ~
"Your original was alive then, right?"
~ Yes, he was as old as you are now. ~
"That was long before that evening."
~ Many, many years before that evening. Many, many years before I entered your mind. ~

Summary
When Harry Potter cast his first Cruciatus Curse, he was successful. In doing so, he awoke the darkness in his head. It whispers, and it's never wrong. The darkness is hungry, and won’t be denied.
‘To go in the dark with a light is to know the light. To know the dark, go dark, go without sight and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings.’

Summary
There is only power and those too weak to seek it – a maxim Tom Marvolo Riddle believes would lead him onto the path of greatness due to the life he lived. But will the end still justify the means once the troubled orphan is met with compassion and empathy over suspicion and neglect? Might he be a boy who makes all the right decisions, or is his fate sealed?

Summary
The Dursleys had noticed that something was off, but didn't say anything. Even if they did, Harry wouldn't care. The last few weeks, Harry could barely do something other than chores, sleeping and cutting. He didn't cry. He barely ate, and, isn't that funny, aunt Petunia actually forced him to eat.

OR:
I wanted some cool summary with a cool, long and very smart word explanation (I don't even know how it's called!), but after thinking about Ouroboros (which I like, and it KINDA fits, but not rlly), some latin shit and not liking anything I decided to scrap it. -

Summary
A lonely summer, a strange diary.

As he tempts her with power and recognition, she starts questioning Harry, Dumbledore’s plan, and her role in the war.

Summary
Tom has never needed anyone. Why would he? He has himself, his magic, his intellect. He can defeat anything. He can defeat death. Or so he believes, right up until the night of his eighteenth birthday when he murders his family and creates his second horcrux and, somehow, finds himself dead. Then, fifty years later, he wakes up.
Harry's having a crap time of it. Voldemort's back, Dumbledore's ignoring him, the Order won't let him in on their secrets, and according to the papers, Harry's a liar. The nightmares, the pain peppering his scar, the floods of anger - they're not helping. What he really needs is a distraction.
Good thing Harry and Tom are on a collision course.

Summary
Perhaps choosing a Dark Lord, specifically the one that killed my parents, to be fascinated with wasn't my best idea. However, I couldn't help myself upon hearing about his feats and power. Maybe I am twisted, just like other people say. One thing that I know for sure is that I am helplessly intrigued by a man who tried and failed to kill my entire family as a baby.
