Summary
“You have to promise me—promise you won’t waste it.” Tom bites his tongue. “Promise me you’ll become great, not just sit for decades missing me, moldering and letting moss grow over you…”
Moss, he thinks, sounds like a comforting prospect right now. A moss-covered stone doesn’t feel, doesn’t notice the passing of the years or experience the loss and yearning that will only increase as each one goes by.
The Minister has never been known to take a lover, never been photographed over a candlelit dinner with a fellow prominent wix or caught in an embrace with someone scandalous. His oldest associates say that he had someone precious once; a boy he called not just his love but his soulmate. There are rumors that Riddle is still waiting for him to come back, that that’s why he studied alchemy for a decade, made a Philosopher’s Stone and still looks no older than thirty. But that would be madness, surely.
Harry travels through time, loves Tom Riddle, and changes the trajectory of his life forever. And then, he disappears.
Tom waits.
Written for the Purge XL prompt “Trial of the Bow”.

Summary
On the 2nd of May 1998, Britain was freed from its tyrant. Dozens fell in the fight for equality, justice and freedom. Dozens died in vain. For when technology triumphs over magic, Muggles attempt to wipe mages out, exactly as the Dark Lord had foretold.
On the 4th of March 2007, Magical Britain ceases to exist.Desperate to undo the damage, Harry travels back in time to prevent Voldemort's demise.
Only, things don't quite work out as intended, as he ends up being reborn in a world not entirely like his own with a tattoo of a red eye on the back of his hand.
As small changes have a habit of doing, every distorted detail quickly snowballs far beyond recognition.Translation into Spanish available here: https://www.wattpad.com/1397379923-mundos-m%C3%A1s-all%C3%A1-de-la-muerte-gemerope-cap%C3%ADtulo-1

Summary
There is no moment of realisation.
No sudden, flickering light.
It sits heavy, iron in the blood, a magnetic pull—there’s a boy with a flop of dark, propping himself up against the rungs of his crib and she thinks, as her heart starts to beat steady and sure—
Oh, there you are.(In which, Harrie and Tom grow up together and the past (or the future) is a not so distant thing.)

(aka 'how to survive endless rebirth with your so-called soulmate')
Harry and Tom’s souls are tied together. Which is why they’re in this endless loop of rebirth.
At some point, they stopped caring and just started fucking with people.

Summary
“The only reason any of this is happening at all is because of you. You seek me out. Again and again and again. You bring me back. This isn’t my party at all. It’s yours.”
There was no denying the tension in Harry now and relishing the achievement, Tom pressed even closer, invading Harry’s personal space, nearly making him flatten against the window.
“So tell me, Harry, why do you keep inviting me to play?”
Or, in other words, being dead means jack shit.

Summary
A fifteen-year-old Tom Riddle slips through time, pulled by a scarred boy into a seemingly idyllic future. Harry Potter falls with him into a reality untouched by Voldemort's reign. Taken into the Potter household, the two form an unlikely bond – but between centaur magic, governmental plots, and the darkness at the heart of the Forbidden Forest, this new world is not as it seems.
(In which Tom learns to be kind, Harry learns to be cruel, and ancient magic sings to them both from the woods. Meanwhile, a war of metal and secrets brews in the shadows, threatening an end to the fragile peace.)
