    Summary

    The man towers over him, his breath tasting of coldness and fury. Harry had always known that there had to have been a significant reason, why the hat had sorted him into Gryffindor over any other House. He finds, once more, that inexplicable urge to do something recklessly, utterly stupid. High from the power he so rarely wields when confronted with this man, he taunts, “Come on, Tom. Let’s finish this the way we started!” He grips the older wizard close, sees the belated outrage.
    This, certainly, qualifies as reckless stupidity.
    But, he thinks, it might also just be strikingly poetic. “Together!” He shouts and jumps off the building.
    ‘Great!’ thinks Death. ‘Excellent opportunity.’

    This is the story of Death entrapping Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort in a series of reincarnations to undo the chaos the two of them have collectively caused. It’s a story of how two adversaries tangled in fate are forced to learn about themselves and through that, about the other; of them trying to work together for a change - if only, to pursue their individual goals.

    Summary

    When Voldemort hits Harry with the Killing Curse in the Forbidden Forest, it fails yet again. Only this time, the problem is that instead of ending a life, it creates one.
    --

    “Harry Potter,” he says softly, tasting his prophesied killer’s loathsome name on his tongue. “The Boy Who Lived.” Come to die.

    A pause. And then, he utters the fateful words. “Avada Kedavra.

    First, everything goes green.

    Then, everything goes black.

     

    When the Dark Lord regains consciousness, he hears before he sees, and the first thing he hears is crying. Why is there a baby crying?

    Summary

    Fairytale AU. Loosely inspired by Beauty and the Beast.

    Some said he was once a man, cursed, and some that he sold his soul to demons and became one in turn. Others said that such evil as he could never have been human. That he was instead a nightmare, left lingering upon the earth a very long time ago.
    Harry just knew it wasn't safe to walk near the Riddle House after dark.

    Summary

    All Voldemort has ever wanted is glory, and the world on its knees. But prophecy tells him of a boy who will be his equal.

    Voldemort's obsession with killing Harry Potter grinds to a halt when he discovers what Harry is. Killing him isn’t an option. But sparing him reveals a weakness Voldemort never knew he had. What begins as a battle for power becomes a struggle with something far more dangerous: attachment. As Harry challenges everything Voldemort believes, the Dark Lord must decide what he truly fears more: death, or love.

    This is Voldemort’s story. And some enemies can’t be conquered…only changed.
