Summary
Playing with Dark Magic was like playing with fire, sooner or later a person got burned. Tom can’t help himself, he likes the way that the matches feel in his hands. He likes the way the smoke twirls upward, the heat, the intensity. It makes him feel alive, with its promise of power and ability to wipe the slate clean. Cleanse all the things that have ever wronged him, comfort him with the knowledge what he has gained will never be taken from him. Except his wonderful fire has finally scorched his hand and sent him to an unknown future, where it's in ruin, and the person that he thought would never betray him... has become nothing but a snake-faced monster.
Harry gets more than he bargained for when the Order accidentally rescues Tom Riddle on a raid. He looks just like he has stepped out of the diary and into 1998. The smug egotistical bastard... just might be the end of him….And well... Harry just might be okay with that...

Summary
“The only reason any of this is happening at all is because of you. You seek me out. Again and again and again. You bring me back. This isn’t my party at all. It’s yours.”
There was no denying the tension in Harry now and relishing the achievement, Tom pressed even closer, invading Harry’s personal space, nearly making him flatten against the window.
“So tell me, Harry, why do you keep inviting me to play?”
Or, in other words, being dead means jack shit.

Summary
Tom Riddle was looking for the perfect artifacts to house his soul while working at Borgin and Burkes. He didn’t think the Vanishing Cabinet sold to the shop was particularly noteworthy, that was until it began to smoke and Tom found a teenager within who wore Ravenclaw’s Lost Diadem. Even more intriguing was everything in his mind and memories that Tom could use to succeed as the future Dark Lord, and the wayward teen himself who was much more than Tom could have ever imagined.

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.
