    Summary

    The dreams aren’t affecting him, Harry reasons, and hadn’t it been Dumbledore himself who wanted Harry to learn as much as possible about Voldemort’s past? If the dreams really are some kind of memory contained in the locket, wouldn’t they be the best possible way for Harry to learn about Riddle’s plans after Hogwarts, and where he may have hidden the two remaining Horcruxes?

    Harry tries to convince himself that information is the only reason he’s started looking forward to sleep whenever it’s his turn with the locket, but he knows it’s more than that.

    *

    As Harry, Ron, and Hermione hide out searching for Horcruxes, Harry can't stop dreaming of a different version of himself, one with a knack for Dark Magic, a healthy suspicion of all things Dumbledore, and a close personal friendship with a boy named Tom Riddle.

    Summary

    Harry grew up... different. On the night he was supposed to die; something lingered. Seems Voldemort is not the only thing entangled with his soul.

    Or.

    Harry is seven when Sirius Black comes to pick him up from the Dursleys. He gets introduced to magic much sooner and discovers parts of himself that others wish would have remained buried.

    Summary

    When Harry succumbs to dementors in Little Whinging, the last thing he expects is to wake up and find Tom Riddle’s face staring back at him in the mirror.

    It only goes downhill from there.

    (In which Harry learns: if Voldemort had been like an atom bomb, Tom Riddle is the biblical forbidden fruit, succulent and fragrant and filled with an insidious rot that just may kill him.)

    Summary

    "Well, here we are." Sirius pushed open the door with a grand sweep of his arms. “Home sweet Hell.”

    Sirius had bad memories of Grimmauld Place, tainted by his own less than stellar family. But for Harry, whose summers had previously involved being locked away either in a cupboard or Dudley's second room--with bars on the windows, no less--it was perfect.

    ---
    With Sirius free from Azkaban and taking up his role as Harry's guardian, Voldemort pursuing a political path to power rather than bloodshed, and a defense teacher that isn't actively trying to kill him for once, Harry has high hopes for his third year at Hogwarts. It'll be nice to sit back and be a kid for once.

    Only Harry's life is never so simple, and he soon finds himself facing a myriad of new challenges: school bullies and new family dynamics, horcruxes all but falling into his lap, his deja-vu brain giving him mixed signals, and hidden murmurs arising from old Death Eater circles that may pose a threat to him regardless of his tentative alliance with Voldemort. Things seem destined to never be easy, but if there's one thing Harry knows by now, it's that he won't have to do it alone.

    Summary

    "Maybe you should kill them," Harry says. He's sitting perched on the stairs, hands clasped together, green eyes watching Tom and his irritating year mates. His form is hazy around the edges, an almost translucent quality to his image.
    "I can't just kill people," Tom says.
    "Not in public.”

     

    Role-Reversal where Harry is the Dark Lord and Tom Riddle is the Boy-Who-Survived.
