Summary
When he had first seen it, it had been digging through the rubbish bins behind a seedy pub, looking for scraps to eat, and all the sudden Harry had been transported back to his youth. To the years before Hogwarts. When he saw Mi’lord, underfed and so skinny he could see the outline of the creature's hip bones jutting out from its skin, Harry found himself approaching it and removing the roast beef from the sandwich he had just purchased for his lunch before fully realizing what he was doing.
Then the next day, he found himself repeating the process. He had even ordered extra roast beef, from the café on Diagon Alley so that he didn’t have to eat a sandwich consisting of only bread, lettuce, mayonnaise, and cheese.
It became a routine. Something almost ritualistic after that.
He should’ve known then, when came the day that he placed that whole roast beef sandwich on the ground between them and forewent his lunch that day, that this relationship—dynamic, whatever you call it—was not one of equals.

Harry lives on the edge of poverty, working for Borgin & Burke when he shares his lunch with a cautious stray cat. Only it's not a normal stray but a wizard stuck in a failed animagus transformation and had been stuck for over 50 years! Can Harry be the answer to save him?

Summary
...and enemies, too.
Harry has complex... thoughts (definitely not feelings) about Tom Riddle's childhood, so he sits right down and writes himself a letter.
(A good ol' "Harry and Voldemort owl each other" epistolary trope-fic.)

Bookmarker's Notes
Right after seeing Dumbledore's first meeting with child Tom Riddle, Harry writes to Voldemort with an apology and quest for understanding. Of course, V is furious but the correspondence continues and both men are changing their viewpoints. When Harry shows Voldemort his childhood with the Dursley's, the Dark Lord offers to kill them . . . and Harry doesn't immediately refuse. . . .
