Summary
Ever since Harry’s found himself stuck in the 1940s, he’s been trying his best not to draw attention to himself at Hogwarts and to keep out of Tom Riddle’s orbit as much as possible. Unfortunately, Tom doesn’t appear to have gotten the same memo, however, as he simply won’t leave the young omega alone.
He’s even gotten it into his head apparently that Harry needs an alpha chaperone to Slughorn’s Christmas party, of all things. What could he possibly be up to now and why is he so bound and determined to bring Harry into it? This whole ordeal is just giving him a headache.

Summary
Harry does not give up the Horcrux when he dies.
Can goodness be a hero’s tragic flaw?
Moved by compassion, he embraces it instead.
Can forgiveness be a gift unconsciously granted?
What follows next, he could not predict. He’s not sure he ever really had a choice in the matter.
Can love exist, even flourish, in a heart that does not give its consent?
The world Harry wakes up to is not like the one he remembers.
This is a horror story.
And his captor is neither the same as he was, nor as different as he would like.
This is a love story.

it foretells only rain by AGlassRoseNeverFades

Summary
It seems laughable now to think that he could ever have been destined for more than this. From a boy so lucky to be alive they gave him a lofty title to match, to the supposed savior of humanity, to tawdry spoils of the very war he lost. It is a new kind of bravery Harry must hold onto these days, if he is to get through this with any of his sanity or self-respect left intact.
He won't just give up on living though, on hope. Somebody has to be here, after all, to take care of the girl, so if not for himself, then he'll at least do it for her. He can suffer any indignity thrown his way if it means that just one child born into this endless, bitter cycle of longing and loathing will grow up loved.
Sometimes, a ray of sunshine will break through the storm clouds even when it's always raining.

Summary
The uncomfortable truth is that Harry can understand why he did it, all of it. He understands perfectly that there have always been bigger concerns than one lonely, misused boy (or two) at stake, that there is a Greater Good here the man has always been striving toward since longer than Harry's been alive. He gets it.
That doesn't make it hurt any less. It doesn't mean that Harry can forgive him either.
It doesn't mean that he can take back the way it's already changed his relationship with the man he thought was supposed to be his prophesied enemy. Or that he would want to now even if he could.
Their destiny is not to destroy each other as he once believed, although it still could be. It's more complicated than that. Their destiny is to make their own destiny, together, or be torn apart by it. He knows which one he prefers.

Summary
Looking up as the view over the mountainous path ahead of him finally starts to reveal those spiraling dark towers hidden amidst snowy white peaks, Harry reflects again on all the other little moments of his life that have led up to this one, and whether there was anything he could ever have done differently to end up someplace else. He wonders what awaits him in the sunless days ahead and whether all of the hardship he endured on this journey will have been worth it by the end.
What is possibly most damning of all is that he is not thinking of his parents right now as he trudges alongside his companions up to Voldemort’s eerie castle. He is thinking instead, as he often does, of a name that burns too brightly on his wrist in the pre-dawn light. He is thinking of what could have been, what has never been, what will never be.
He is wondering if somehow the fruitless tugging on his heart means that somewhere, some way, Tom is watching over him. He wonders what his faceless ghost would think of him if he could see him now.
