    Summary

    17-year-old Tom Riddle wakes up in the middle of London the morning of Voldemort’s defeat. He has no idea what’s going on, or why he’s not in 1944.

    He heads to Diagon Alley and sees hundreds of people celebrating in the streets how a “Harry Potter” triumphed - twice - over the greatest Dark Lord their world has ever seen.

    Tom needs to find some answers. All paths seem to lead to Harry Potter. It's not long before the two of them run into each other.

    ***

    Featuring hijinks, healing, and (sort of) former enemies with benefits, set against a backdrop of rebuilding Hogwarts in the summer after the war.

    Summary

    Tom has never needed anyone. Why would he? He has himself, his magic, his intellect. He can defeat anything. He can defeat death. Or so he believes, right up until the night of his eighteenth birthday when he murders his family and creates his second horcrux and, somehow, finds himself dead. Then, fifty years later, he wakes up.

    Harry's having a crap time of it. Voldemort's back, Dumbledore's ignoring him, the Order won't let him in on their secrets, and according to the papers, Harry's a liar. The nightmares, the pain peppering his scar, the floods of anger - they're not helping. What he really needs is a distraction.

    Good thing Harry and Tom are on a collision course.

    Summary

    The Boy-Who-Lived is dead and the world has rolled on without him. Voldemort's victory over magical Great Britain is complete, but traces of the war linger on.

    Ten years later, Harry Potter is just trying to survive each day as it comes. He knows the rules; he keeps his head down and he does his best to blend in with the muggles. He keeps his magic locked up tight and doesn't stay in the same place for too long.

    Harry's not trying to win a war, he's just trying to escape it.


    Magic rolled over him, a crackle of heat sliding over his skin and the tinny taste of metal and juniper coating the back of his mouth. It was a crushingly familiar weight, pinning him in place with an iron hand that made a small voice in the back of his head begin to scream, setting his skin prickling and crawling. Seclusion wards, Harry thought, automatic and numb. Walls raised to keep prey in and competing predators out.
