Summary
There's a book in Voldemort's private library that can explain this kind of magic. The cover is black and shiny and looks like it's breathing. Harry really wants to take a look at chapter three, no matter what it takes.

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
In a universe where Harry never takes on a part of the Dark Lord’s soul, existence has never really found a meaning for him. He struggles to find purpose. Fed up with his lack of direction, his parents jumped at an opportunity to put some color into his monochrome reality. They do so, of course, without his willingness or acquiescence: by arranging his marriage. The result? He must learn to cope with someone whom he considers to be completely abhorrent: Tom Riddle.
While Harry seems to hate Tom, he finds himself interested in a Dark Lord who frequents Riddle Manor.

Summary
Surely what he was dealing with was some level of deity, because quite suddenly the man was standing in front of him. No trace of apparition, no burst of speed. The man had parted through space and now towered over him, translucent and human-like.
Harry offered up his bleeding hand.

Summary
Harry and Tom grew up together at Wool’s Orphanage, but that doesn’t mean they’re particularly close. At school, they pretend to be strangers, and even at home, they don’t speak. But at night, when it's dark and quiet, they always seem to find each other.

Summary
It had started as a meaningless joke during Slughorns class. He had never meant for it to escalate the way it did. He wouldn't have even continued it, if it wouldn't have been for that one moment he made Tom Riddle lose his composure, to see that perfectly orchestrated facade break and crumble. To leave him speechless.

Summary
Harry is below average in almost every way, but that's alright. He doesn't need to be smart to support his father, the man-who-lived, with the one thing he excels at: healing injuries solely with the power of his mind.
Life might be a little dull, but Harry takes comfort in the sense of purpose he gets from healing his father's injuries.
And then Harry finds Voldemort in his house, badly injured and chained to a wall, and everything changes.

Summary
“This is Mr Riddle, one of our Slytherin prefects. I’m sure he’ll make you feel right at home. Mr Riddle, this is Harrison Peters. He’s just been sorted into Slytherin and will be joining you in sixth year,” Dumbledore announced jovially, though Tom could see that sliver of constant suspicion in his gaze that had never quite faded.
“Harry,” the boy hurried to correct. “Just Harry.”
And then he stuck his hand out. How… plebeian, Tom noticed with delight. Walburga would probably faint.- Language:

Summary
Horror strikes him down where he stands, then. He sways, stumbles to put his back to the living room wall. Harry is woozy in disbelief, watching the two words slashed into his chest in livid red just like the scar on his forehead. ‘AVADA KEDAVRA.’
He knows those words, the first he can remember, his earliest memory. It feels like he hasn’t breathed in minutes. When he comes back to the moment, he finds that perhaps he hasn’t. Harry gasps for air like a fish does for water, and doesn’t find it. His back has slid down the wall somehow and his hands grip his head, hair clenched in fists.
Then he realizes he’s actually panting, a ringing in his ears, blocking out whatever it is people are saying to him. Hermione crouches in front of him where he can’t possibly miss her, palms settling gently on his knees.
“Harry,” she’s saying. “Harry, it’s going to be alright.”
How?
How can it ever possibly be alright again?

Summary
Harry isn’t sure what Dumbledore wants him to learn from their lessons, but he’s sure it’s not what he’s ended up focusing in on. Regardless, he can’t get the idea out of his mind if its the best chance of living he’s got. If it was as un-feasible as it was absurd, he’d move past it. But, it’s not. It’s entirely possible.
The only problem would be convincing the dark lord to impregnate him, but Harry doesn’t plan on asking.
