Summary
[Spin off]
In the early 1940s, Harry Styles is an English major in Columbia University, only to learn more than he bargained for. Dissatisfied by the orthodox attitudes of the school, Harry finds himself drawn to iconoclastic colleagues like Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik. Together, this gang would explore bold new literary ideas that would challenge the sensibilities of their time as the future Beat Generation. However, for all their creativity, their very appetites and choices lead to more serious transgressions that would mark their lives forever.

Summary
Jungkook’s hatred burned like an unyielding flame, fierce enough to make him abandon his military service in protest for his country's freedom. Beneath that fire lay a secret, the only thing keeping him from crumbling. When a night of despair ripped that secret away in the most unexpected way, he spiraled into madness, clinging desperately to its last remnants as if grasping for a lifeline.
Jimin was a whisper of soft cherry blossoms, a light against the darkness. Half-Korean, half-Japanese, he stood between two worlds, desperate to prove he was not like the men Jungkook loathed, because somewhere deep in him, a petal of love blossomed. But love is a fragile thing in the hands of hatred, and no matter how much he gave, no matter how much he tried, Jungkook’s heart only grew colder. And when the moment came, Jimin placed the final pin into the coffin, sealing the fate. He fell like a beautiful sunset, fading from the world.
And Jungkook, who had sworn never to grieve, found himself standing in the wreckage of a war he never truly understood, clutching at the ghost of something he had never dared to name.

Summary
William was never meant to stay quiet.
He burned too brightly for the capital — too charming, too careless, too full of noise. So they sent him away to Ratchawan Riding Academy, hoping distance might tame what pride couldn’t.Est was already there. The quiet one. The one who kept his boots clean and his heart cleaner. He believed in stillness, in patience, in mastering every movement down to the breath.
They weren’t meant to fall in love.
But one stolen ride turns into another.
One night walk becomes a habit.
And by the time they realize what’s happening — it’s reckless. It’s breathless. It’s far too late.Set in 1940s Thailand, in a countryside academy of tradition and silence, this is a story of flower rings, forbidden touches, and the kind of love that remembers long before it’s named.

Summary
After the war, Harry became the Master of Death, and also very, very pissed off at the world.
For one, Dumbledore manipulated him his entire life.
For two, Dumbledore also manipulated Tom Riddle and created Voldemort all in his manic need to rid the world of dark magic.
Harry tried to live a happy life for a while, but with being stuck at seventeen, he ended up having to watch as his friends and family grew old and died.
After a long time, Harry grew numb, and after many, many years and deaths later, Death made an offer to Harry. If he could change things, would he?
Harry decides that yes, he would. And so, in the year 1941, Hieronymus “Harry” Peverell shows up to start his fourth year at Hogwarts.

Summary
He had been bred and raised for slaughter, a child moulded and manipulated to fill the shell cast in a self-fulfilling prophecy. His mind brought him back to his first encounter with the magical world. He was taken to Diagon Alley by Hagrid, one of Dumbledore’s chosen loyalists. The half-giant had taken him to Gringotts to run an errand for the headmaster. He practically forced the stone down Harry’s throat and held it there with the amount of hints and information that he had given with very little resistance.
It was all a lie.
If Harry's life had been planned and perfected around him, did he ever truly live?
---
Harry is presented with the opportunity to fix the past and save his future. Will he manage to push Tom Riddle away from the path Dumbledore created? Or will Voldemort prevail and push Harry further into despair?

Summary
“Harry Potter.”
The cold burrowed into his flesh; the scent of cloying death and molding earth clogged his senses.
“The Boy Who Lived.”
A strange sense of unimaginable loss and disappointment rose inside of Harry. That brilliant, yet cruel boy could’ve been so much more if he’d not stepped down this bloodied path.
Terrible, but great. He pitied this creature.
“Come to die.”
Harry Potter faced the flash of green light with the bravery of a Gryffindor and the broken heart of a Hufflepuff.
When Death gives Harry a third option, one that can save everyone he ever cared about, he takes it unflinchingly. Even when that means doing the impossible: falling in love with the enemy, Tom Riddle.

Summary
Albus Dumbledore was a manipulative old coot and Harry Potter is just sad he didn't realise it sooner, so he could have hung the man by his beard himself.
With the Daily Prophet slandering Harry's name once again - calling him the next Dark Lord of all things! - Harry sets out to find a new purpose for his life. He no longer wishes to be an auror and he wishes to go somewhere else, to a place where no one knows the name 'Harry Potter.' He no longer sees himself with Ginny - having messy, red-haired children. Instead, Harry finds himself a new purpose within his old purpose and sets off to 1944. Unfortunately, he may have gotten the timing a little off. No biggie! He'll make new plans as he goes along. Hopefully he keeps his amazing luck to get him out of bad situations! -

Summary
Harry Potter is, above all, lost, as he finds himself imprisoned within the walls of Grimmauld Place entirely 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 book that changes everything, and he learns of the ultimate secret he had never been privy to: soulmates are real, and his is Tom Marvolo Riddle. But not the version he has 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 that is 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 both confronted by a web of complexity neither could have ever imagined possible.Series

Summary
“I can’t believe I’m giving you advice,” Rowle muttered to himself, running his fingers through his short, sandy blond hair. His blue eyes met the Slytherin Head Boy's stormy gray eyes across the library table that they sat, and a grimace crossed Ravenclaw's face. “Look Riddle, Evans isn’t someone to mess around with. I know he looks nonthreatening, being so short, and thin, like a gust of wind could blow him over; but if you keep fucking with him it’s your funeral.”
Tom arched an incredulous brow. He looked at seventeen-year-old Theodore Rowle, all six-feet and two inches of him, and compared him to the five-foot-five fifteen-year-old Henry Evans in his mind. The fact that the Ravenclaw was in any way frightened of his small, sylphlike housemate was laughable to him when Theodore was so large and broad-shouldered in comparison. But he was. Noticeably so. Tom didn’t need to use legilimency to see it. “Why are you so afraid of him?” He wondered aloud.
“Because I’m not stupid,” Rowle scoffed. “We’ve known each other a long time. I know what he’s capable of.”
Tom leaned forward in his seat, interested. “And praytell, Rowle, just what is Evans capable of?”Series

Summary
Harry Potter, the boy who lived, never truly lived a life of his own. He was chained and imprisoned all his life by the expectations of the wizarding world.
He defeated the Dark Lord he was said to defeat, married the girl everyone expected him to marry, and became an auror as everyone thought he would be.
No one ever asked what he wanted, not even himself. The only time he was given a choice was when he died and met the one who’ll change everything, Death.

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.

Have you been missing a time travel Tomarry where Harry and Tom are on somewhat equal footing? Where Tom is a plausible budding political leader? Where Harry can stand up to him and their relationship doesn’t seem toxic? Where the surrounding events and characters don’t go unnoticed? I have, so I gave writing one a try.
“The war is over and the Wizarding Britain has been slowly rising from the ashes. Harry just wishes none of it ever happened – what will he do when he’s given a chance to change the past? Was Dumbledore right about “the power he knows not” after all?“

Summary
When Harry is called to the Headmasters office at the beginning of his sixth year he isn't sure what to expect. He at least really didn't see it coming that he would become Master of Death, travel back in time to become someone else, and more importantly to stop Voldemort before he would be lost to the monster.
****
''You must understand, Harry, that it's very dark magic. I don't want to taint your soul.''
Harry hisses, feeling his rage rear its ugly head again. You could taste his magic in the air, and Harry almost imagined the tendrils swirling around him wildly. Dumbledore's eyes widened.
''I call bullshit! The darkest curse was thrown at me when I was a baby, I'm almost of age, and you should just fucking tell me what I need to know. And I mean really what I need to know, and not what you want me to know. I think it's time to trust me, to trust your weapon because that's all I am, right? A soldier in this war, a weapon to end the Dark Lord, just a means to an end. The savior of the wizarding world, the boy who lived, the chosen one, and all that other rubbish!''

“Accio wand.” As the smoke clears, his yew comes. It’s warm in his hand and pulses steadily as Evans’ body twitches. The boy is alive.
Tom hates him.
Never has he been so aware of his heartbeat until now.
Tom wants him.
Harry doesn’t mean to end up in 1942 but he’s determined to find a way back. In the meantime, he keeps his head down and stays out of Tom Riddle’s notice. Until Grindelwald attacks Hogsmeade and he accidentally uses Tom’s wand instead of his own.

“How the fuck am I supposed to save him?! In case you didn’t notice the Great Hall full of my dead friends, I don’t exactly have the greatest track record of being people’s guardian angel!”
“Have you ever considered, Harry Potter, that perhaps what Tom Riddle needs is not an angel, but a friend?”

In which Harry Potter is sent back in time to save his loved ones from their fates by saving Tom Riddle from his. Only...that does not look a thing like Harry expected it to
