    Summary

    20 years old, unemployed, and at the worst point of his life (and that’s saying a lot), Harry gains unrestricted access to a massive unfinished time turner and decides to use it to travel to 1946, when Voldemort only had two horcruxes and had yet to learn the worst of the dark arts.

    But what he finds isn’t the proud, charismatic Dark-Lord-To-Be, but a neurotic 19-year-old Tom Riddle living quietly in the tiny flat that his retail job barely pays for, isolated and addled by chronic illness.

    Summary

    One night, on the edge of a juke joint and judgment, a preacher’s son meets a banjo-playing stranger with hands like sin and a voice full of longing and the music between them says what neither dares to.

    Summary

    What if Triwizard Tournament, but Hunger Games?

    Centuries ago, instead of hiding from muggles with the Statute of Secrecy, wizards used a ritual to create a dimension for all magical beings to live openly. But maintaining that freedom comes at a lethal price. Every seven years, the worthiest students in Europe have the great honour of being selected to compete in a tournament: three deadly tasks, two months of training, one victor. Grindelwald’s Ministry demands it. But certain troublesome students only follow rules which happen to align with their own plans.

    Tom Riddle intends to win. Harry Potter refuses to lose. From rivalry comes respect, and an intense interest that, once sparked, refuses to burn out. They are binary stars locked in orbit in a world built to break them apart. But the world doesn’t define them, their choices do: what they decide to fight for, and who they choose to trust. If they get those right, they might be able to define the world.
