Summary
Harry Potter and Tom Riddle were once inseparable. Two lonely boys bound by shared shadows at Wool’s Orphanage. But Hogwarts split them apart. Tom chose power, Harry chose Gryffindor, and what little they had shattered into bitterness. Years later, a chance encounter in the library sparks an argument that explodes into a duel.
Their spells collide in the Restricted Section, unleashing an ancient artifact’s hidden magic. In a blaze of gold and fire, Harry and Tom are dragged backwards. Thousands of years, to an unfinished castle ruled not by portraits and legends, but by the living Founders themselves.

Summary
There was another student here.
Tom recognized him vaguely—while transfer students were not necessarily uncommon due to the war, they were rare enough to at least make an impression. This particular transfer student was in his year, sorted into Ravenclaw after an impressively long hat stall. He looked like he might be descended from the Potter line, but he did not share the surname so his lineage was of no particular interest to Tom. Nothing about him was of particular interest to Tom, in fact, and yet here he stood, holding the book that Tom had come here to find.
It would be a good time to turn away. The Restricted Section was restricted for a reason—only books documenting extremely dangerous or extremely advanced magic were stored here.
Tom’s feet, however, suddenly felt as if they were made of lead. It wasn’t magic keeping him tied down, but something far more mysterious like curiosity or even fate. In any case, the delay was all it took for the Ravenclaw to lift his chin and meet Tom’s eyes.
This Ravenclaw, Tom realized, had eyes as blindingly green as the Killing Curse.

Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? (you should be) by Snoweylily

Summary
“No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
“That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
Harry didn't like the sound of that.
“But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
“Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.

Summary
20 years old, unemployed, and at the worst point of his life (and that’s saying a lot), Harry gains unrestricted access to a massive unfinished time turner and decides to use it to travel to 1946, when Voldemort only had two horcruxes and had yet to learn the worst of the dark arts.
But what he finds isn’t the proud, charismatic Dark-Lord-To-Be, but a neurotic 19-year-old Tom Riddle living quietly in the tiny flat that his retail job barely pays for, isolated and addled by chronic illness.

Summary
When Harry was small he had a not so imaginary friend, a dangerous spirit had attached itself to him, that creature's name was Tom. Harry would have been content if it had always just been the two of them, two souls tangled together learning from one another. Things, though, couldn't stay that way as Tom's past is full of deadly secrets, mistakes, and murder. The more Harry learns the more it scares him, but by now the seeds already have been sewn, feelings have already blossomed, thorns, poison, and a form of symbiosis has been developed. One can not live without the other and this complex web of lies, misunderstandings, and plots threatens not only to separate but be the death of them.

Summary
Harry Potter is, above all, lost, as he finds himself imprisoned within the walls of Grimmauld Place of his own volition, questioning his place in the world now that he is more legend than human being.
Upon entasking himself with learning more about the wizarding world, he stumbles upon a life-changing book, where he learns of the ultimate secret kept from him: soulmates are real, and his is Tom Riddle. But not the version he fought and bled for, the man he has killed—rather, a Tom Riddle from another universe entirely.
Unable to let go of the yearning for answers raging on inside him and having learned of the real purpose of the Veil, Harry crosses dimensions, only to find a reality very close to his yet so undoubtedly different. Tom Riddle is charismatic but detached, powerful yet misguided, and Harry quickly realizes that the only way forward is to break Tom’s network of allies one by one, whatever it takes.
He just isn’t counting on the arrival of a very hurt and furious Hermione Granger, who is searching for him as well as her own mystery’s answers, and together they are confronted by a web of complexity neither could’ve foreseen—a road that can only lead two ways: toward redemption... or destruction.Series

It's All Just Temporary with a Bit of Necromancy by TC_Hand
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
31 May 2025
Tags
Summary
Harry gets his magical inheritance as a Necromancer on his 16th birthday, the first in centuries. Unsure of his future or even who to trust after the Light shuns him, Harry turns to the Dark, the only other side that can assist him in seeking his revenge. However, it's all just temporary. It's just an alliance until his goals are met and then that's it. Just temporary...right?
Slight Dumbledore and some Order member bashing. Sane Voldemort but Horcruxes do exist. A Harry/Voldemort but incredibly slow-burn. Not really graphic in deaths at least not yet. If that changes the rating will change.- Language:

Summary
Many things are different and many are the same as Harry begins his fifth year at Hogwarts.
Here, living with Dursleys that aren't just neglectful but outright abusive made Harry unable to withstand more than a few weeks of Trelawney's "predictions" back in his third year. Instead, he took Ancient Runes, and uncovered that he had a prodigious knack for runic magic, which opened the door to the darkest of rituals and the magic of mind and soul. A year later, Harry uncovered something horrible within himself - a parasite.
So, when Voldemort sends him dreams of corridors and doors, Harry sends him pieces of hell in return.

Summary
Harry tore his eyes away from the man on the catwalk. The merry party of wizards were advancing on him with Moody at the helm, leaving Uncle Vernon to smoulder a few metres away. He was asked if he was ready to go, which he didn't respond to. He simply let Moody's gnarly, root-like hand clamp onto his shoulder and lead him away.
They followed all the way to Uncle Vernon's Mercedes. Some of them gave Harry hugs while other whispered reassurances that they'd see each other again soon. That the weeks would fly by and that they would come to get him before he knew it. But Harry knew very well that he was doomed. He knew that this would be the last he ever saw of any of them.

Fewer things are the same now, in this summer of 1996, though a few things will remain the same. This is Part Two of the Dreamweaver series.

Summary
With a sound like a giant bubble bursting, Harry vanished – ripping a chunk of the fence and the earth beneath him into a swirling void.
Dudley and his gang froze, staring at the empty space where the other boy had just been – confusion clear across their faces.
Harry Potter had gotten away.
(Far away, in the humid forests of Albania, a shadow of a man – a mere sliver of soul, the faint spectre of the once-feared Lord Voldemort – felt a violent pull on his magic. He could not resist – could not fight it. In an instant, he was drained, erased, and snuffed out like a candle.
Thus, one prophecy found its end, while another – far away and elsewhere – had only just begun.)
Or: Harry never apparates to the top of the school roof in a feat of accidental magic. Instead, he rips through time and space and – after a few twists and turns – lands squarely in the metaphorical lap of a Dark Lord in his prime, becoming Voldemort’s least favourite plot twist.
Tom, however, eventually comes to appreciate the pint-sized troublemaker he has been saddled with.
