Summary
During the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry goes into the Forbidden Forest to surrender his life to Voldemort. When the Dark Lord tries to kill him, they both get knocked unconscious. Harry wakes up first and, owing to Dumbledore’s Pensieve trips showing Harry Tom Riddle’s miserable childhood, Harry instead decides to Apparate away and deliver Voldemort to the Ministry to be imprisoned, like Dumbledore did with Grindelwald. The Ministry, however, chooses to execute the Dark Lord.
Twelve years later, Harry is suffering. His magic is unhinged and he doesn’t feel right, but when he stumbles upon a horrific scene in a cell at the Ministry, suddenly he comes back to himself.
Voldemort is being tortured by the Ministry of Magic and no one but his three guards and the Minister knows about his existence. They are keeping his life a secret because they are unable to kill him and his power is such that they know he will not be able to be contained forever.
Harry is left struggling with the many shifting ways to do the right thing and the changing question of: right thing by whom?

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.

Summary
“Harry, please,” Death says beseechingly. “You haven’t even heard the full punishment yet.”
“Oh? There’s more?”
“Tom Riddle will be in your custody for five years,” Death finishes. “Five years is how long that Fate has deemed you should be punished with the presence of your worst enemy."
A hundred years after the end of the Second War, Harry Potter, Master of Death, unwittingly helps the last fragment of Lord Voldemort’s soul escape Limbo. Now, bound by Fate to Tom Riddle for the next five years, Harry has to coexist with the man he feared the most.
Or: Auror M.O.D. Harry and Tom Riddle strike an uneasy truce and solve crimes together, and Harry has to decide if his capacity to save everyone includes everyone, really.
OR: an excuse for Harry and Tom to be a crime-fighting duo like Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, while also trying not to strangle each other.
Updates Wednesdays and Fridays :)
