    Summary

    "how terrible is it to love something that death can touch. oh, but how beautiful it is to know that death is dying to touch what you love."

    ---

    "Tell me the truth, Potter!" Umbridge screeched, "Tell me where Albus Dumbledore is!"

    Harry’s head lolled forward as the curse lifted for a moment, his chest heaving as he struggled to breathe.

    "Go… to… hell," he rasped, defiance burning in his emerald gaze.

    Her face twisted in rage, and she raised her wand again.

    "CRUCIO! "

    The curse slammed into him again.

    ---

    Harry Potter dies. Harry Potter finds himself in the afterlife. Harry Potter finds himself facing Death in the face.

    Death has his face.

    Death tells Harry he wasn't meant to die, and gives Harry three propositions: go back to life, wait in limbo until battle or go back to the 1940s, and complete the impossible, with the help of his mother and father.

    Death tells Harry everyone dies, but not everyone lives.

    And Harry...

    Harry finds himself with a mission.

    Harry will make sure Tom Riddle gets to live his life, for once.

    Summary

    After the war, Harry Potter, now the Master of Death, returns to the past and becomes Hogwarts’ flying instructor, raising young Tom Riddle in a secluded Highland cottage under Headmaster Dippet’s protection.

    Tasked with guiding a child destined for darkness, Harry’s own moral compass shifts as he protects Tom, while the boy’s innate cruelty sharpens into fevered devotion for the young man who raises him.

    Their bond, deeper than any normal guardian-and-ward relationship, draws the wary eyes of Hogwarts, blurring the boundaries between familial, possessive, and dangerously intimate love. Desire, loyalty, and darkness intertwine, leaving both forever changed.
