Summary
Artemis Crooks grew up in the hush and shadow of one of the Seven Great Libraries, apprenticed to guard ancient grimoires whose whispers have driven stronger minds to ruin. When she is sent to escort one of the most dangerous tomes in existence to the dungeons of Hogwarts, she expects monsters of ink and curses—never the boy who waits for her there.
Tom Riddle sees through Artemis at once. She is no mere squib, no strange library-foundling, but something rarer, something sleeping, something that should not exist. What begins as fascination turns to obsession, and obsession to something far darker. Torn between duty and desire, wisdom and hunger, Artemis finds herself drawn into the orbit of a brilliant boy who was born to unravel her.
In a world bracing for war, their paths twist together—beautiful, catastrophic, and doomed from the start.

Summary
50 years ago, Tom Riddle’s soul was sealed into a diary, helplessly trapped within its pages. For decades, he sought to escape this prison of his own design.
So when a boy named Harry Potter begins writing to him, Tom seizes the opportunity to achieve his freedom. Harry is shockingly easy to possess, after all. Yet for some reason, Harry can retain consciousness while possessed, and worse, he can take control back. Being possessed by Tom doesn’t even seem to do anything to drain his vitality.
If Tom didn’t know better, he’d say that Harry’s soul was somehow used to sharing a body with Tom’s own. But that was impossible, wasn’t it?

Summary
Draco felt a sudden brush of intense terror as he heard footfalls in the hallway. Not aunt bella, please...
only when he felt a hand grab at him that he felt a rush of immense anger thrum through him...a desperation as he struggled against the mysterious figure. He didn't stop, even as they got more and more heavy handed, trying to pin him down. He bite their arm, felt his teeth sink into flesh, he could taste how the blood rose just under the thinnest layer of skin as he growled like a mangy mutt. Kicking, biting, scratching, he did not dare to stop. He felt another person descend on him and merely redoubled his efforts. Someone was talking...had they been speaking the whole time?...but he couldn't catch wind of what they were trying to say, too lost in the struggle to free himself from these dangerous individuals. He felt his nails snag on skin, could taste the blood as he bit another arm, and could feel bones giving way under his feet as he kicked out desperately."Lestrade, I think you've terrorized our witness long enough"

Summary
Voldemort had been vanquished by a mere infant. Stripped of his body, he spent nearly a decade clinging to life by inhabiting the bodies of snakes and other creatures, waiting—hoping—for his followers to find him.
Then, one day, he drifted back into Muggle London, drawn by whispers of the boy who had destroyed him. He hadn’t meant to return, not yet. But curiosity, or perhaps something deeper, pulled him there.
And that’s when he saw him.
A scrawny boy with messy dark hair, cornered by a group of jeering children. No protection. Just a child, small and alone.
Voldemort watched from the shadows, and for reasons he couldn’t quite name, he didn’t like what he saw.

Summary
A dark, devastating tale of salvation and damnation to explain how Nagini came to faithfully serve the darkest wizard of all time after bringing about the fall of his predecessor decades prior.
A villain origin story chronicling the pair's descent from strangers to a fate worse than death. One where Tom Riddle and Nagini wrought their own destruction, allowing the story of canon Harry Potter to rise from its ashes.
In canon, after his failed attempt to kill baby Harry Potter left him as a wisp of soul, Tom Riddle fled to the forests of Albania. There he encountered Nagini, a Maledictus whose cursed blood transformed her into a serpent, just as he had been reduced to something less than human.
But what if that wasn't their first meeting? What if finding the snake-shifter in the same woods Tom found Ravenclaw's Lost Diadem was not fate, but their plan... four decades in the making?
A love story that was always destined to be a horror story, where devotion itself becomes monstrous, and getting their deepest desires proves to be the ultimate curse.

Summary
Harry Potter dies. Death offers him a deal and sends him back.
Reborn as a priest in 1940s Britain, where Death is worshipped as a god, Harry is told his purpose is simple: save Tom Riddle.
But the boy he meets is not a monster. Not yet. Tom Riddle is brilliant, hungry, and terribly alone.
Yet the more Harry tries to help Tom, the more cracks within the church that rules Britain begin to form; as the Grindlewald's war bleeds into Britain, nothing is as holy, nor as harmless as it seems.
So Harry makes a new vow. If this is what it means to protect those he loves, then he will do what no one else will.
He is going to kill Death.
***
Harry lays flat against the cold marble. It's harder and cleaner than the forest moments before. His dry eyes blinked open to a familiar train station—King’s Cross, or something like it. The interior was impossibly white, making the space immeasurable as the endless path faded into a pale horizon. Shadows pooled and stretched like liquid ink, forming corners that weren't really there.
What is this?
In truth, Harry knew what this was. And Harry knew why.
He was dead.

Summary
It's the 1940s and Europe is crumbling. As the man made horrors of World War Two ravage the continent, the Wizarding World continues to tremble under the dark influence of Gellert Grindelwald. There is no safety, no reprieve for the common folk regardless of magical ability. The only people who seem to be unaffected are the Pureblooded Elite who's progeny rule over the halls of Hogwarts with all of the disgusting self indulgence and lack of empathy of Emperor Nero himself. They are beautiful, wicked, and most importantly, powerful. A young Tom Riddle is chomping at the bit to gain influence over his posh. empty-headed peers. He's been successful in securing the dimmest of the group under his thumb, but the truly influential pawns continue to evade him. He needs an in, one that not all the scheming in the world seems to be able to grant him. That is until he finds himself partnered with Serraphina Selwyn for Prefect duties. First born to renowned curse breaker Geneth Selwyn, she stands as heir to the pureblooded family's fortune and sacred magic. Serraphina, who represents everything Tom envies, must be his. The two form a deadly alliance that turns into a sordid affair. Bloody secrets, dark magic, and curses abound.

Summary
Love fucks it? Love fixes? It May be both.
London, summer 1940. A boy destined for legend comes back to the orphanage he hates and meets a tarot reader with no fear of snakes.
This story follows canon — mostly — but still takes you for a ride. I wanted to fill the gaps in Tom Riddle’s life — the parts that were only ever hinted at. Too much of book-Tom rests on nothing but Dumbledore’s assumptions, and I couldn’t leave it like that. We'll explore everything that happened somewhere in the shadows of HP canon: alliances, mentors, magic, war, mythic love & his evolution from a child all the way until the end.
If you’ve ever wanted to read about Voldemort's making… buckle up.It’s not a redemption arc — it’s a revelation arc. He doesn’t become good. He becomes understood.
Dedicated to all the girls who read Chamber of Secrets and fell in love with Tom Riddle 💔
