Summary
Harry Potter texts the wrong phone number and strikes up an unexpected friendship with a man named Tom. Tom is a private sort, never revealing much about himself. Despite this, Harry finds himself falling for him anyway.
Tom Riddle is a world-renowned actor who is highly dedicated to his work. He doesn't have any interest in cultivating personal relationships. They're only a distraction. Yet, a simple text exchange with a cheeky university student turns his world upside down and strikes a burning obsession.

Summary
Hermione had given up trying to keep up; she bit through the pain and kept her own slow, steady pace. Ahead the group ran into the aisle, none of them even looking back to see if Hermione was still with them.
She felt rather than heard the body slide up to her, and in one swift motion her wand was taken from her. Someone whispered, from so close she could feel the breath caressing her ear, “Muddy, what's with the slow walk? Don't you want to be with your friends when they get caught?”
Hermione huffed, bitter and exhausted, “Well, if my friends,” the word laced with venom, “would ever listen, we'd not be here at all. And if they ever thought about my walking speed we'd indeed be together.”

Summary
"A second chance,“ Death said.
Harry stopped in front of a bench and turned to look at the being. "A second chance at what?"
"Life."
Harry laughed bitterly. "Because that has worked out so great the first time?"
Death tilted its head. "You've changed," it stated.
"Life does that to you," Harry said and his mind felt clearer than ever, "Or should I say the last seven years. I never really left this place, have I? I lived a life feeling not quite dead and not alive either," he spat.
"I know how you feel," Death said after a moment, grinning.
"Oh, do you," Harry retorted and pierced Death with a look.
The being's smirk widened as it leaned closer.
"Bored."
Years after the war, Harry Potter lives an apathetic life. When Death offers him a second chance he takes it.
Accompanied by the being, Harry travels back to the summer before Sirius dies. Inside his younger body and the memories of an older self, Harry realizes that being connected to Death may have twisted his morals a little more than expected.
Seeking to make up for the boredom of past years, Harry isn't above carving his own space between two sides to even out the playing field.
