Summary
"how terrible is it to love something that death can touch. oh, but how beautiful it is to know that death is dying to touch what you love."
---
"Tell me the truth, Potter!" Umbridge screeched, "Tell me where Albus Dumbledore is!"
Harry’s head lolled forward as the curse lifted for a moment, his chest heaving as he struggled to breathe.
"Go… to… hell," he rasped, defiance burning in his emerald gaze.
Her face twisted in rage, and she raised her wand again.
"CRUCIO! "
The curse slammed into him again.
---
Harry Potter dies. Harry Potter finds himself in the afterlife. Harry Potter finds himself facing Death in the face.
Death has his face.
Death tells Harry he wasn't meant to die, and gives Harry three propositions: go back to life, wait in limbo until battle or go back to the 1940s, and complete the impossible, with the help of his mother and father.
Death tells Harry everyone dies, but not everyone lives.
And Harry...
Harry finds himself with a mission.
Harry will make sure Tom Riddle gets to live his life, for once.

Summary
Universes were all connected. It was a fundamental thought that most people thought they understood. No one understood how connected they truly were. Mother Magic, the Fates, and Gods of Old have tried to keep the balance. Universes brought to collapse and failing magic because of those who seek only one side or another rather than keep the balance. There is no good or evil. Only strength.
One universe is on the brink of collapse and they make a choice. Send one back to restore the balance. If they succeed they will find the peace they have longed for.
What side supports a balance? Who will be allies? Who will be enemies?

Summary
Tom despised children—their snivelling voices, sticky hands, and perpetually runny noses. Everything about them was absolutely revolting.
It was of no true consequence that he himself was only eight years old, because Tom was different. Tom was special, had a gift, a destiny and one day, he would rule the world—or at the very least, Great Britain.
And while his life might not be perfect right now, living in a filthy orphanage, surrounded by vermin (children) and all that.Tom endured it all with a smile (scowl) on his face, because he knew it wouldn’t last. He had a plan. He knew his future would be glorious; he could feel it in his very bones.
That is, until his world began to crumble. His sanctuary—the one place free from the contamination of others—was being invaded. His single-bedroom heaven was about to be defiled.
And the name of this blight on his existence?
Hadrian Peverell.
————
Or, another story where a beaten and broken Harry Potter is thrust into the past, only to find himself saddled with managing a self-assured, wannabe dark lord.
Chaos will be inevitable.

Summary
Tom Riddle is ambition carved in glass—sharp, cold, unyielding and unbending. After Hogwarts, he waits in shadows, gathering power and secrets. Until the world shifts.
A tear in time puts harry and his child on the door step of the black family. Though he has no idea of who he is, the magic of the black family recognises him as its own.
Tom never dreamed of marriage, let alone a bond forged by ancient magic and shared blood. But the child is theirs, born of fate and magic.
This union grants Tom everything he’s chased: status, name, control and power . Yet what he begins to crave is something else entirely—Harry himself.
Together, they raise a soul split from time and walk the perilous path of power and politics.
And Tom wonders:
What if, this once, he need not take what he wants by force?
What if it’s being offered freely?-

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.

Peverell sighed. “They would say it’s about what they do, Tom. Pose the same question to a Gryffindor, and they would say it’s about who they are. A Slytherin, who they know. A Ravenclaw, what they know.”

Summary
“Dying? Not at all,” said the projection of a stranger that wears his godfather's face, “Quicker and easier than falling asleep.”
“And he will want it to be quick.” said the senile werewolf “He wants it over.”
These were not his loved ones.
“You’ll stay with me?” asked Harry, scared out of his wits for the answer.
Yet, they all seemed to be sharing the same goal.
“Until the very end.” said the man with glasses.
They all want him dead.
Or,
The well-worn out, dragged through mud and back trope where MoD!Harry goes back in time and decided that Tom can be redeemed.
But with a different approach.
