Bookmarker's Notes
Later, when they were on the lakeshore with everyone shivering next to them and Harry was feeling embarrassed at hearing the hostages had never really been in danger at all, he noticed Cedric giving him strange looks. That just made Harry’s face turn redder, but he jutted his chin up a little, too.
Well, welcome to the edges of my weird life, Cedric. This isn’t even in the top five weirdest things that have happened to me this year, so.

Bookmarker's Notes
Harry Potter was a thing bitter and cold, a child just a step away from obscurial status, despite being eighteen. Children like him, broken sharp little things with eyes too empty, never truly grow up. But can never be children.
Harry Potter is a paradox that shakes the Earth, that makes the Deep One's stir in their millennium slumber.
Harry decided that he would fix up the Perch, and he would turn it into a sanctuary. For those who cannot move on from the war, for those who are too damaged and scarred. For those still hunted. Harry won't discriminate, he will only open his arms and accept them like he needed someone to do when he was a child. -
Summary

Bookmarker's Notes
On his way, he passed by Potter and his loony date. Both were laughing hysterically as Lovegood led them both into a ridiculous dance that completely clashed with the music, barely avoiding the surrounding couples trying to enjoy their romantic waltz. There was absolutely nothing graceful about what they were doing. Lovegood at least had some sense of rhythm; Potter appeared to have two left feet.
Tom wrinkled his nose. Clearly, the power that he knows not wasn’t dancing.
Nevertheless, as he watched the grin on Potter’s face, Tom couldn’t deny the charm of his innocence and nonchalance. Potter was secure enough in himself to be silly in front of strangers.
He turned away.

Summary
Lily Evans Potter is dead.
Except she isn't, she's a spirit and she stays where she's meant to bloody be. With her son.
People seem to forget that just because Lily Evans sided with the light, doesn't mean she is good.An AU where Harry grows up with his mother with him, just not in the way he should have.

Summary
Tom Riddle wanted three things. That was what Fate always knew. Tom Riddle wanted power, immortality, and strangely enough, an equal. Benevolent and cruel as she may be, Fate decides to be kind and place the very equal he's sought upon his path. She has given him three paths, one of destruction, one of meaningless success, and another of glory and power.
Harry Potter is dead. Hyperion Peverell is not. That is what Fate commands. Given a sick reward of a second chance, he is dropped into the early 1940s, and enrolled into Hogwarts under a new name. Death haunts him, as Hyperion Peverell constantly stumbles upon Tom Riddle.
One is given the salvation he needs and the other is rewarded for experiencing his ruination. Fate looks upon the two and smiles her cursed smile. Perhaps they could save each other from the destiny's she's woven for them.
