Summary
I've read a lot of fics where Harry Potter travels back through time and then has to make Tom Riddle fall in love with him–I wanted to switch it up.
Tom Riddle discards the idea of of making horcruxes when he realizes there is an easier option: make the Master of Death fall in love with him. Easy right? There are just a few problems.

Summary
Harry Evans lands into a Hogwarts unlike he remembers, one gripped by a silent, creeping horror. Students are dead, stolen in ways that defy sense.
One found dead in the prefect's bathtub, throat slit.
Another floats in the Black Lake, fully clothed, no signs of drowning.
The third victim is frozen before a mirror, their reflection distorted.
The fourth is found in a locked room, their body hollowed out.
The fifth in a ritualistic pose, their skin smoothly removed.
The sixth one is found deformed, choking in a silent room with whispering voices.
The seventh is frozen in terror, with a broken hourglass spilling sand unnaturally nearby.
The eighth has vanished, leaving only their clothes and a shadowy outline.
The ninth is found mute, mouth open in a silent scream, throat crushed.
No two deaths are the same. No clear connection ties them together. But one fact is inescapable: this is no accident.
Harry, Tom and Dumbledore search for answers in the darkened corridors of a school teetering on the edge of fear. But the deeper Harry digs, the more he realizes, Hogwarts itself may be keeping secrets no one was meant to uncover.Based on a prompt from reddit.

Summary
Hermione Granger never expected the strange book in Ginny’s hands at Flourish and Blotts to write back, let alone with the voice of a brilliant, devastatingly charming boy who seemed to understand her in ways no one else ever had. Tom Riddle never expected to wake in darkness, tethered to a girl whose ink fed him magic, whose mind fascinated him, and whose heart might just be his undoing.
As their bond deepens across years of stolen diary entries, Hermione begins to uncover a terrible truth. She is falling for the ghost of a monster. And when time itself becomes their enemy, she is forced to gamble everything. Steal McGonagall's Time Turner, prevent the creation of his Horcruxes, and love him before he becomes the Dark Lord. But the real Tom Riddle is not the boy in the diary, and some shadows cling harder than ink.

Summary

And the decisions of one girl will change the fate of one boy who makes all the wrong choices.
Brooke Avers has spent her whole life in the world of magic. Her closest friends surround her in a world of privilege, society, and comfort. But Brooke's life rapidly changes as she approaches the end of her school career, and she must discern who is evil, who is good, and what river her fate is going down.
Tom Riddle has always believed his fate to be set in stone. But the influence of one witch makes his future change in ways he can't believe.

Summary
When Harry defeated Voldemort, she thought she’d finally find peace. But even in death, the man still found a way to cause trouble in her life. She had to suffer from multiple emotional break downs, spiral into depression, before she finally found a way to cope by writing her thoughts and feelings in his old diary.
Little did she know that somehow, by magic and a breach through time, young Tom Riddle could read every word, every thought, every feeling she poured into those pages.

Summary
50 years ago, Tom Riddle’s soul was sealed into a diary, helplessly trapped within its pages. For decades, he sought to escape this prison of his own design.
So when a boy named Harry Potter begins writing to him, Tom seizes the opportunity to achieve his freedom. Harry is shockingly easy to possess, after all. Yet for some reason, Harry can retain consciousness while possessed, and worse, he can take control back. Being possessed by Tom doesn’t even seem to do anything to drain his vitality.
If Tom didn’t know better, he’d say that Harry’s soul was somehow used to sharing a body with Tom’s own. But that was impossible, wasn’t it?

Summary
The start of a new academic year always heralds the arrival of a new professor of Defense Against Dark Magic.
This year, the position is held by Severus Snape, who is well-known throughout the castle.
The position of Potions Master remains vacant—but not for long. For a new face appears at the castle: a handsome man, exuding a menacing, mysterious aura with a characteristic hint of scarlet in his eyes.
Professor Thomas Revenant sets his sights on Harry Potter, who, interestingly, has no qualms about walking on very thin ice, such as a relationship with... well, with whom?
———Początek nowego roku nauki zawsze zwiastuje pojawienie się nowego profesora Obrony przed Czarną Magią.
W tym roku stanowisko to obejmuje znany w całym zamku Severus Snape.
Stanowisko mistrza eliksirów pozostaje wolne — jednak nie na długo. Bo w zamku pojawia się nowa twarz: przystojny mężczyzna, roztaczający wokół siebie groźną, tajemniczą aurę z charakterystyczną nutką szkarłatu w oczach.
Profesor Thomas Revenant obiera sobie za cel Harry’ego Pottera, który — co ciekawe — nie ma nic przeciwko stąpaniu po bardzo cienkim lodzie, jakim jest relacja z... no właśnie, z kim? -

Summary
"But all it really takes is ambition and a dangerous bit of obsession."
"It sounds like you talk from experience."
"Well, we Slytherins are an ambitious lot, are we not?"
"And obsession?" he questioned.
Obsession, after all, was the thin line between love and hate.
—
With a single year remaining at Hogwarts, Tom Riddle is determined to tie up—or sever—every loose end to cement his dominance in wizarding society before graduation. Once Grindelwald is out of the way, his ascent to power will be unlike anything ever seen. Every witch and wizard will come to fear his name.
Except, Anastasia Greengrass has no intentions of ever kneeling before anyone, especially not the devil.

Summary
Tom Riddle doesn’t believe in love at first sight—but he does believe in obsession.
He’s been fixated on Harry Potter since he first saw him play: dark hair curling over the tips of his ears, violin tucked neatly under his chin.
In the competitive world of the Conservatory, their final year brings them an unexpected twist. What happens when Harry gets too close to uncovering the depth of Tom’s affection?
Harry believes they’re rivals.
Tom knows the truth is far worse than that.

Summary
Tom Riddle cursa su segundo año y se siente miserable. La vida es dura, pero lo mantienen a flote sus deseos de poder y venganza. Al menos es así hasta que, en uno de sus habituales recorridos cerca del Bosque Prohibido, encuentra a una pequeña criatura que no parece tenerle miedo alguno.
******
Es una idea que vino a mi mente porque amo la representación de Harry como un ciervo, siento que encaja muy bien con él. Hice un fanart que pondré en el capítulo adecuado, pero por ahora , gracias por venir si vienes de tiktok o twitter.
