Summary
The first green thing in Tom's life is his mother's dress, before she dies holding him. He can't remember this, but he hears of it, spoken about by the few caretakers who'd been there that day, speaking of the strangely luxurious green dress the woman had been wearing when she passed out on the street. That was all the description he got of her and, as a very young child, Tom sometimes imagined a rich family coming to find him, all of them in green. None ever came, and he outgrew the need for a mother or a family, but he never outgrew the want of one. He deserves one, after all.
And Harry is a small child, years younger and half Tom's size, dropped at Wool's Orphanage without an identity or past. And his eyes are the vivid green of rich fabrics that Tom dreams about, and his scarring carves a delicate map across his forehead, partially hidden behind his hair and begging for Tom to uncover it.
Family, Tom decides to call it, and collects Harry like a trinket instead of another child.

Summary
Upon reaching his sixth year, Harry has many problems: Grindelwald is still after his family's cloak for reasons unknown to him, yet Dumbledore hasn't finished off their long, dragging war; he's got a full plate of classes before he can enter his seventh year and apply for a Healership; Ron is still trying to get him to eat more than one plate per meal, and Hermione is worried about his studying habits.
What Harry does not count on is Head Boy Tom Riddle. Charming, handsome, and quicksilver sharp, Harry sees an emptiness in Tom Riddle he wishes to avoid.
Unfortunately for him, Riddle sees him back.

Summary
"Can you believe it?" Hepzibah prattled on. "Three relics from the Founders, all in my - Are you alright, dear?
Tom blinked. He fixed a bland smile onto his features. "Oh, yes. I'm very well. Just . . . wait, did you say three?"
"Oh," she flushed, fanning herself. "Yes. My most priceless possession, really. It's a bit controversial, but I suppose . . . you wouldn't want to see it, would you?"
Harry Gaunt is one of the last remaining Slytherin heirs, raised in squalor for half of his life, and raised in luxury for the rest. But he's little more than a parlor trick for his foster mother, Hepzibah Smith, speaking in Parseltongue to amuse her guests. Life is dull, until he meets Tom Riddle.
Tom once had nothing; then he had a diary. A snake. And a ring. Soon, he will have more. A locket. A cup. And a boy.
A boy just like him.

Summary
They told him not to chase the Shadow. Prophecy told him he couldn’t stop. Harry commands the Stag’s Mercy, a salvaged ship and a stubborn crew, as tides of myth and madness draw them across the oceans. The crew must decide how much of themselves they’ll trade to save the world - and whether some debts can ever be paid.
A Gothic, nautical Harry/Voldemort tale of bargains, ghosts, and the kinds of love that drown you and keep you afloat in the same breath.

Because in the end, even the darkest bloom needs light to grow — and Voldemort has his sun
