Summary
“Abashed the Devil stood, and felt how awful goodness is, and saw virtue in her shape how lovely: saw, and pined his loss."
-John Milton, 'Paradise Lost'In September of 1942, Tom Riddle is a brilliant, bitter schoolboy on the precipice of becoming a monster. Already wearing his first Horcrux around his finger, he doesn’t plan to let anything halt his ascent towards realizing his ultimate goal: becoming the greatest Dark Lord the world has ever seen.
But when a powerful and mysterious transfer student arrives at Hogwarts, Tom’s initial spark of interest rapidly ignites into an all-consuming obsession, threatening to unravel his carefully laid plans.
When ambition and pride run up against regret and repentance, what will be the outcome? Is there such thing as a soul too mutilated to save?

Summary
Seven years of suffering in the cupboard under the stairs infuse magic and pain into the walls, the cot, even the air itself. A crying Harry Potter unknowingly taps into his Peverell family magic and moulds his sorrows into a brand new friend. His dementor keeps him warm in its robes, keeps people away from him and listens to everything he has to say. And no one but Harry can even see it! He's never been as happy.
Until, one day, the dementor gives a gift to its maker that changes everything Harry has ever known. Whisked away from Privet Drive and surrounded by wizards and witches, Harry and his dementor-turned-familiar must work together to see through the many plots they've been ensnared in.
And who is the man who seems to live in Harry's head? And why is his new pet bunny such a dramaqueen?

Summary
There is nothing to chase in death, nothing to fear either. It will come, as it always has, as it always will. What makes it beautiful is the life that precedes it—the laughter, the ache, the fragile, fleeting pulse.
And Harry believes that is quite pretty.
...
Necromancy removes that.
or
Necromancer Harry has been dealt the worst hand of cards, as fate is seemingly intent on spitting on his life until the very end. Upon meeting Minister Tom Riddle, the man promptly lights the deck on fire and buys Harry an entirely new set. By allowing Harry to draw a new hand, Tom finds his own cards changing as well.

Summary
Harry Potter dies to end the war, but instead of finding peace, he awakens as a child in the past. Frail, drained of magic and burdened by memory, he's taken in by a mysterious man with golden eyes and gentle hands. It's a beginning, one he didn't ask for. One shaped by Death, stitched together with secrets and shadowed by a soul that's fraying at the edges.
