Summary
“Have you read the Bible, Harry?”
He shuffles his feet, the boy. How strange. This one is a better liar than the others in many ways, but shyness is something he cannot convincingly fake. The truth lies somewhere in those eyes: they positively shine, even when they refuse to meet his own.
OR
where Tom tries his hand at organized religion.

Summary
It should have been disgust. Instead, it becomes obsession.
Harry was left scarred, broken, finding his way to the steps of Wools orphanage. Two broken boys will somehow make a whole. There journeys of magical life will bring them closer or possibly push them apart. Tom had always loved controlling things so when he discovers that gods and goddesses exist he has to be the one to control it all.
Harry Potter has died before. Tom Riddle has loved him longer than either of them should remember. In every lifetime nothing but his love.
Somewhere between death, war and devotion sharpened into possession, the only rational part of Tom died with him. Because Harry Potter was born twice and both times, somehow, he belonged to Tom.
OR
Harry and Tom want to become the all masters of fate and death which includes Really slow slow burn, practice kissing, two men who don’t know they are in love, slow burn, cults and religious sacrifices and slow burn. They could give will Graham and Hannibal a run for their money.

Someone's comment:
This series by darklordtomarry is such a gem! Tom and Harry's characterizations are similar to what I've read before and yet somehow so unique. If Grey Harry/Dark Harry, without completely detaching from his canon self is your jam, then trust me this is the fic for you. I also generally dislike pureblood culture but boy does this fic really delve deep into the politics of it all, and I mean deeep. It has a Slytherin Harry, James & Lily are alive in this AU and the fic does a great job in examining how the small house change would affect everybody.
I really can't say more without spoiling it because this fic deserves to be read for its character progressions alone but also because it has an awesome villain that actually gives our characters a challenge. The first part starts out one way and it may or may not be your preference but the second part is where it all starts coming together. All the other characters are also so great and it's one of those fics where you sympathize with every changing POV. There's no clear cut narrative stance and I'd say it's pretty realistic. It's also not afraid to make a fool of it's characters, for example, Harry is smart but he's still a teenager and therefore has the cockiness of youth; Tom is brilliant but he has his blind spots, etc. It's clear they are not always in control so there's always a tension underneath and I was genuinely worried for the characters.
I had (wrongly) assumed it would be a simple royalty fic but wow what a surprise.
Some other things: 1. Tom & Harry's relationship is fast burn
2. it's WIP/unfinished and I don't know if it will be finished (but it's worth it imo)
3. the fic can be humorous but is dark at times. It explores themes of bigotry and it gets pretty rough at points so if that bothers you, you can watch out for it -

Summary
Tom and Harry grow up together, but Slytherin politics drive them apart. In a scheme to save their friendship, Tom drags Harry to tag along on a pureblood holiday getaway to the South Pacific---right in the middle of a warzone.
The story goes like this: a yacht, a sea mine, and six teenage boys stranded on an uncharted island. A fight for survival as hierarchies shatter and supplies run out. Monstrous horrors stirring in the shadows of the jungle. Conflict, violence, and cruelty. Death.
For Tom and Harry to survive, each must make a choice. Will they choose each other? Or will their ideals and ambitions separate them forever?

Summary
“Humans… So weak… they think they are in control but…”
Shyrikk brought up his wrists again and Rhalvor watched the links of the chain begin to crack with a very gentle tug of his wrists. He lowered them back down and his yellow eyes might have twinkled if they were not so milky.
“Soon… my little Varanda will be in my chains."
*Previously under FntsyLvr. Same author.
