    Summary

    Tom has never needed anyone. Why would he? He has himself, his magic, his intellect. He can defeat anything. He can defeat death. Or so he believes, right up until the night of his eighteenth birthday when he murders his family and creates his second horcrux and, somehow, finds himself dead. Then, fifty years later, he wakes up.

    Harry's having a crap time of it. Voldemort's back, Dumbledore's ignoring him, the Order won't let him in on their secrets, and according to the papers, Harry's a liar. The nightmares, the pain peppering his scar, the floods of anger - they're not helping. What he really needs is a distraction.

    Good thing Harry and Tom are on a collision course.

    (In which Ringcrux Tom is dropped into 5th year canon - part one!)

    Summary

    Harry Potter died saving everyone. But the world kept turning, and something even worse came. Death drops him off in snowy 1938 London to stop the world from burning once more.

    Just one problem. He's got paws instead of thumbs.

    In the garden of Wool's Orphanage, Tom Riddle's first friend is a tiny snake. Billy Stubbs kills her with a trowel. Tom takes his revenge - brilliant and vicious, but he's so desperately outnumbered that when his bullies corner him, Harry can't help but intervene. A debt Tom repays by designing a collar that can bind a Grim.

    Sometimes the road to redemption is paved with ash.

    a.k.a. a dark time-travel romance following Tom's journey from boy to man, Harry's struggle between justice and mercy, and whether caring can redeem someone - or if it only makes them worse.

    Summary

    “You have a chance to save everyone. Including the one you were always told could never be saved.”
    Right, Harry thought. No pressure, then.

    Harry can't bring himself to leave Voldemort's horcrux behind, suffering and alone on the floor of the almost-afterlife.
    After the train takes him back - back to 1943, that is - he endures about five minutes of Tom Riddle's company before wondering if he should have just set the cursed thing on fire.

    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 is removed from the Dursley family when he is eight years old, and enters the wizarding world a few years younger and a lot wiser. He discovers a surprising dark heritage, and develops goals that do not involve vanquishing a certain Dark Lord or becoming the Chosen One. Adopted into the Black family, Harry will fight against the expectation that he is to defeat the Dark Lord and instead dedicates himself to protecting the dark legacy that has been left to him.
