Summary
When Senior Auror Harry Potter is strongly encouraged into volunteering for an experimental Ministry time-travel program, he plans to spend his year in the past sabotaging Tom Riddle’s rise. Heroic, right?
What he doesn’t expect is a timeline where Tom, upon opening the Chamber of Secrets, finds piles of gold instead of a basilisk and becomes a billionaire. He still has plans for power… but they’re not exactly hostile.
Harry decides to lay low for the rest of the mission. Except… laying low has never exactly been his strong suit, has it?
Or:
Tom is handsome, young, rich, dangerously intrigued, and doesn’t take no for an answer. Also, handsome.
Harry is forty, poor, annoyed, and just wants decent crisps for once. And what does Tom Riddle want from him?

Captured from his home, Harry is brought to the Citadel and spends a year in the stables as a slave before discovering a soulmark he never knew he had.
Even worse - he notices that the Emperor bears the same mark.
Harry tries to avoid detection, but is discovered and taken to the Palace, where he learns the truth about his past - and that being soul-bound does not guarantee having anything in common with his supposed soulmate.
Should he remain in the Palace’s gilded cage, or risk everything to escape and discover who he truly is?
And will Tom ever see him as more than a wild creature from the North? -

Summary
“Professor Potter?” Tom asked gently.
The man’s green eyes jumped to him through his glasses, intense and focused. He had his attention and Tom relished in it.
“What is it, Tom?” Professor Potter asked, already sounding resigned to answer whatever question Tom wanted to ask him.
But today, a week before the Christmas break, Tom wasn’t planning on interrogating the Professor about the theory behind some spells. Instead, his long fingers were carefully clutching the metal box he was carrying as he looked into the Professor's beautiful eyes. Slowly, he raised said box and offered it to the Omega, still staring into his eyes.
“I have a present for you.”

Summary
“Okay—okay, fine. You win,” Harry muttered, sounding as though he’d been struck over the head. “Just…don’t be surprised if this goes nowhere. I’m not as interesting as you think.”
Hardly relevant, as Tom’s interest lay solely in the man’s wallet. To obtain what he needed, he would tailor himself accordingly.
Tom smiled, not releasing Harry’s hands as he spoke. “I like you, Harry. Soon, you’ll like me too.”
Or: Tom’s hunt for his golden goose, and how he came to claim it.
