Summary
It seems laughable now to think that he could ever have been destined for more than this. From a boy so lucky to be alive they gave him a lofty title to match, to the supposed savior of humanity, to tawdry spoils of the very war he lost. It is a new kind of bravery Harry must hold onto these days, if he is to get through this with any of his sanity or self-respect left intact.
He won't just give up on living though, on hope. Somebody has to be here, after all, to take care of the girl, so if not for himself, then he'll at least do it for her. He can suffer any indignity thrown his way if it means that just one child born into this endless, bitter cycle of longing and loathing will grow up loved.
Sometimes, a ray of sunshine will break through the storm clouds even when it's always raining.

Summary
”Are you my angel?” Tom whispers.
Harry kills Voldemort, and the next thing he knows, he’s being dragged back in time—again and again—to Tom Riddle’s childhood.
Tom’s all alone in a world that doesn’t care about him. With every return, his obsession with Harry grows.
Tom’s convinced Harry’s there to save him—that he’s meant to be his. And the boy who will become a monster?
He’ll stop at nothing to keep him.
(Harry thought he was done with Voldemort—but it seems Tom Riddle isn’t finished with him.)

Summary
The uncomfortable truth is that Harry can understand why he did it, all of it. He understands perfectly that there have always been bigger concerns than one lonely, misused boy (or two) at stake, that there is a Greater Good here the man has always been striving toward since longer than Harry's been alive. He gets it.
That doesn't make it hurt any less. It doesn't mean that Harry can forgive him either.
It doesn't mean that he can take back the way it's already changed his relationship with the man he thought was supposed to be his prophesied enemy. Or that he would want to now even if he could.
Their destiny is not to destroy each other as he once believed, although it still could be. It's more complicated than that. Their destiny is to make their own destiny, together, or be torn apart by it. He knows which one he prefers.

Summary
1724. All Harry wanted to do was to cross the Atlantic and start his apprenticeship under one of the most renowned physicians.
Tom Riddle is convinced everything floating in the seven seas belongs to him. That includes ship-wrecked, green-eyed youths. Especially if they tell him to fuck off.- Language:
