Summary
In another world, Harry Potter was spared. Raised by a Pureblood guardian in Lord Voldemort's Britain, he isn't special and enters his seventh year wanting nothing more than to be allowed to go into Arithmancy research and keep his head down.
But after a chance encounter with a man who later arrives at Hogwarts on behalf of the Ministry, to evaluate the seventh-year students for potential, it looks like it may not be so simple.
Marvolo Gaunt seems to have his eye on Harry. The trouble is, Harry has no idea why.
On hiatus with a new, fully revised, and completed version coming out in summer 2026.

Left off on chapter 35, good fic, well written. Just not what I want to read right now. Lots of intrapersonal conflict

Summary
Instead of dying during the Battle of Hogwarts, Voldemort de-ages into an infant. Until he becomes old enough to be legally executed, he will be magically bound to Harry.
A perfectly foolproof plan, or so the Ministry believes.
“Someday,” Tom vows, “you’ll love me in every way.”

Updated February 2025 as of this bookmark, should update again this year for act III.
This fic is great, characterization and character flaws are so good. The execution of this is wonderful. Tom being an evil little mastermind, but staying loyal and obsessive and possessive of Harry is always fun! Really interesting to see where this goes! -

Summary
“What I find absolutely fascinating,” Riddle said, stalking closer, “is you.” He marched forward, backing Harry up until he was pinned to the cool wall of the common room. “Do you know why?”
“No. And I’ll be honest here, Riddle, I don’t particularly care.”
The taller boy grinned at him, small yet infinitely pleased. “That. Right there.” One hand rose and brushed some of Harry’s fringe from his face. “Nathan Ciro was a spineless little boy too afraid of his own shadow to dare even glance in my direction. But you…”
He leaned closer, “You look at me like you want to stab me.”
After an accident, Auror Harry Potter wakes up in the body of fourteen year old Nathan Ciro, a tormented Slytherin who recently tried to end his own life. Seeking answers to his strange predicament, Harry returns to Hogwarts, and causes quite the stir through staff and students - especially when they come to realise he is not the same boy as before.
He tries to avoid suspicion, but as his quest for the truth draws more and more attention to him, Harry begins to think that he might not like what he will discover.

When a Wizard Wishes Upon a Star by RandomBirdEvent

Summary
Harry Potter is stuck in a cell. The war is lost and he has been captured after his whole ‘coming back to life’ scenario. Whilst he wishes he could be positive and productive, it is fairly hard to do so when you know that all of your friends are either dead or sentenced to it, and you are stuck, powerless, in a cursed cell. So, Harry wishes on a star, in a bleak, melancholic sort of way, for it to give him a chance to make it all right and save the day like he was supposed to.
He doesn’t expect for it to actually work.
He certainly doesn’t expect for it to work so much that he would be sent back in time.
And yet, there he is at King’s Cross Station, inhaling the fossil fuels of the 1940s, bound for Hogwarts. He should have asked the star for an easier ride.

Last updated November 2020 as of this bookmark. Unlikely to update again .
This fic has a bit of a rough start, but once Harry gets to Hogwarts things really begin to pick up. I've enjoyed reading this a lot, I think these takes on Harry and Tom's characters are interesting. If this ever does update, it will be cool to see what happens next. -

When Harry looks at Tom, he feels overwhelmed. There is a spark that makes him hopeful, the fear that nothing he does will save Tom from himself, and the horror at what his lies might lead to.
When Tom looks at Harry, he feels nothing. Until he does, and then Harry’s world starts drowning in blood.

Summary
Upon reaching his sixth year, Harry has many problems: Grindelwald is still after his family's cloak for reasons unknown to him, yet Dumbledore hasn't finished off their long, dragging war; he's got a full plate of classes before he can enter his seventh year and apply for a Healership; Ron is still trying to get him to eat more than one plate per meal, and Hermione is worried about his studying habits.
What Harry does not count on is Head Boy Tom Riddle. Charming, handsome, and quicksilver sharp, Harry sees an emptiness in Tom Riddle he wishes to avoid.
Unfortunately for him, Riddle sees him back.

Summary
An orphan, Harry Potter has done everything he can to avoid notice during his five years at Hogwarts so far. He’s only got one friend, is purposefully in the middle of his class rankings, and his only ambition, wizarding-wise, is to graduate with enough N.E.W.T.s to get a loan and open up a bookstore.
And then he somehow finds himself in the sights of Tom Riddle, resident golden boy of Slytherin and darling of Hogwarts…

Summary
There was another student here.
Tom recognized him vaguely—while transfer students were not necessarily uncommon due to the war, they were rare enough to at least make an impression. This particular transfer student was in his year, sorted into Ravenclaw after an impressively long hat stall. He looked like he might be descended from the Potter line, but he did not share the surname so his lineage was of no particular interest to Tom. Nothing about him was of particular interest to Tom, in fact, and yet here he stood, holding the book that Tom had come here to find.
It would be a good time to turn away. The Restricted Section was restricted for a reason—only books documenting extremely dangerous or extremely advanced magic were stored here.
Tom’s feet, however, suddenly felt as if they were made of lead. It wasn’t magic keeping him tied down, but something far more mysterious like curiosity or even fate. In any case, the delay was all it took for the Ravenclaw to lift his chin and meet Tom’s eyes.
This Ravenclaw, Tom realized, had eyes as blindingly green as the Killing Curse.

Summary
Despite the townsfolk's disdain, Jack always knew his place of worship was on the range and in the fields. He feels closer to God and closer to his wife when working the ground, and every day he misses her dearly.
The rumors are as relentless as the humid heat pressing down on them: lock your doors; protect your cattle and sheep; something is getting into the barns at night.Setting a trap to stop whatever was making its way into his barn and putting Nisha's superstitious charms by the doors and windows gave Jack peace of mind.
Trying to figure out what was whispering outside, begging to be let in, did not.

Summary
"Say something."
The silence unnerves him. Jack hears it in the warble at the end of Rhys's sentence. His voice rings in his head, echoing the phrase, and Jack clings to it.
The sound of something new.
He lingers on the imperceptible twitch of Rhys's fingers. They're decorated in chrome and silver instead of gunmetal and gold. The differences between the Rhys before him and the one in his memory are stark. Jarring. And Jack wants to imprint it all to memory.
"What would you like me to say?"

Summary
When Angel needs long-term medical treatment, Jack can't afford rent anymore, and starts low-key living at the hospital.
No-one has a problem with that, except a young pediatrician with a fancy off-planet degree, a freshly-ironed white coat and a giant stick up his ass.
(Dr. Strongfork likes Jack even less when, thanks to Mr. Lawrence's liberal use of nicknames, the kids on the ward starts calling him Dr. Cupcake.)

Summary
Harry got to have Tom’s cock inside him anytime he wanted, but all he really wanted was Tom’s soul back inside of him.
Earlier that day, they had gotten into such a disagreement, the same one as always.
But Tom held all the cards, and he knew it.
“Please...” Harry begs. “Please, put it... put it back in me. I need to feel it again.”
Tom smiles down at him, vicious and coldly amused.
“No.”
