    Summary

    Love fucks it? Love fixes? It May be both.

    London, summer 1940. A boy destined for legend comes back to the orphanage he hates and meets a tarot reader with no fear of snakes.

    This story follows canon — mostly — but still takes you for a ride. I wanted to fill the gaps in Tom Riddle’s life — the parts that were only ever hinted at. Too much of book-Tom rests on nothing but Dumbledore’s assumptions, and I couldn’t leave it like that. We'll explore everything that happened somewhere in the shadows of HP canon: alliances, mentors, magic, war, mythic love & his evolution from a child all the way until the end.
    If you’ve ever wanted to read about Voldemort's making… buckle up.

    It’s not a redemption arc — it’s a revelation arc. He doesn’t become good. He becomes understood.

    Dedicated to all the girls who read Chamber of Secrets and fell in love with Tom Riddle 💔
