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
“Harry Potter.”
The cold burrowed into his flesh; the scent of cloying death and molding earth clogged his senses.
“The Boy Who Lived.”
A strange sense of unimaginable loss and disappointment rose inside of Harry. That brilliant, yet cruel boy could’ve been so much more if he’d not stepped down this bloodied path.
Terrible, but great. He pitied this creature.
“Come to die.”
Harry Potter faced the flash of green light with the bravery of a Gryffindor and the broken heart of a Hufflepuff.
When Death gives Harry a third option, one that can save everyone he ever cared about, he takes it unflinchingly. Even when that means doing the impossible: falling in love with the enemy, Tom Riddle.

Summary
Upon hearing the prophecy, Lily Potter chooses differently. She brokers a deal with her once-enemy, and instead of an equal, her son is marked as something else entirely. Now raised under Lord Voldemort’s reign, Harry Potter grows up with doctrine in his ears and a leash at his throat, forced into a careful charade of false obedience. He thinks it should be easy to maintain the lie, but a single misstep—a locket found where no one was meant to look, brimming with a life of its own—sets off a violent shift, pulling him into a convoluted web that winds, inevitably, back to the Dark Lord.

Summary
Harry goes back in time to raise Tom and suffers from the fact that it is impossible to change a person. All while his version of Voldemort courts him in his head. Seventy years, Tom conquering Europe, daddy issues, and resurrection later has Harry wondering how it even got to this point.
'Voldie finally looked up at him, threading his fingers through Harry’s curls, then his blue eyes swirled with confusion at the horror twisting on Harry’s face.
He turned around quickly, but not nearly quick enough.
“Avada Kedavra.” Tom said calmly, the spell struck in sync with a roll of thunder, hitting Voldie square in his chest.
Blue eyes widened in surprise before he was blasted like a rag doll halfway across the room and exploded through Harry’s aquarium. Harry sat still, staring blankly as blood and glass coated his dining room, his favorite Bubble Eye goldfish Luna flopped suffocating, next to Voldie’s limp body.
“Thomas.” Harry sighed into his hands, rubbing them up and down over his face. '- Language:
