Summary
By a twist of fate (and partly through his obsession with finding out what Draco Malfoy is up to), sixteen-year-old Harry Potter travels back in time... by almost fifty years. And the very first person he meets is none other than Tom Riddle, a twenty-year-old salesman at Borgin and Burke's shop. The meeting goes neither smoothly nor pleasantly, with curses and spells flying in all directions.
And later, as Tom Riddle plots his new path to power, Harry Potter tries to figure out how to outwit and thwart his mortal enemy without being drawn to the Dark Side. No easy task, as young Tom Riddle is a master of manipulation.
In a nutshell: Time travel AU where Harry Potter ends up as young Tom Riddle's ward.

In my humble opinion, the best Harry Potter story on Lord Voldemort's side. Not a slash. Dadamort.

Summary
When Harry is kidnapped by a seemingly sixteen year old Tom Riddle at the end of his second year, he's convinced that he would do absolutely anything to escape – but "anything" can be a dangerous conviction to have, and even heroes can grow tired of fighting without hope. Sometimes, survival means making a home in the dark…

Summary
Harry's sixth year ends with the Dark Lord's takeover of wizarding Britain. Harry gets to live - but why? And how is it, that he can send pain through the Dark Marks? Realisation comes when he’s saved from a lethal attack… by Voldemort himself. Dumbledore’s attempts to get him back fail and Harry weighs the value of his own death… but someone is none too pleased with that attitude: headmaster Snape.
~Gen, plotty AU: a slow-burn mentorship between Harry and Voldemort, and between Harry and Snape. No main ships.
A/N Dec 1st: working on chapter 40!

"But the Horcrux isn't really gone, is it?"Harry frowned. "What do you mean?" he yelled back.
Dumbledore actually turned his head to regard Harry. He appeared perplexed, dismayed even. Voldemort was watching the former headmaster with unholy glee. They had paused their dueling.
"Yes," the Dark Lord hissed. "You see? Your pathetic attempts are pointless. He will always be mine."
Harry reluctantly turned around. The wizards regarded him in silence.
"Harry," Dumbledore said softly, with a gentleness that hurt his ears. "You just spoke Parseltongue."
