Summary
Harry Potter is Voldemort’s horcrux. This doesn’t really impact his life until the first time he meets Voldemort face-to-face. Well, face-to-back-of-Quirrell’s-head-face.
Harry learns he can burn Quirrell’s skin with his bare hands. He knows this is his only opportunity to both survive and save the Philosopher’s Stone. What he doesn’t realise is that by willingly placing his hands on Voldemort’s wraith’s host, he opens himself up to possession.
It isn’t Voldemort’s first choice to possess his fated vanquisher while still weak, but a key magical principle is “like calls to like”. He will do whatever it takes to get his body back… and own Harry Potter afterwards.
What happens during Harry’s school years while unknowingly pulling Voldemort along as a passenger?

Summary
There is only one thing that Harry James Potter knows he likes. It’s stupid, it’s pointless, and he doesn’t tell about it to anyone unless he is drunk.
What hooks Harry, what makes him read pages upon pages of words about a language he hasn’t even heard of before the essay is the absolute, earth-shattering conviction with which Riddle writes about the historic and cultural importance of Parseltongue.
Harry has never been so convinced of anything in his life.
----
In which Harry becomes an English teacher in the late '90s in a Polish city that not-so-accidentally is also home to his academic idol and role model, Tom Marvolo Riddle, the world’s foremost expert on Parseltongue culture and linguistics.
Tom would love to focus on his research, but he is haunted by Merope’s spirit, his community obligations, and Delphini Black. Hot English Teacher is only making things more complicated.
[WIP, currently writing the final chapter. Updates infrequently. Chapter 1 italics are formatted weird in EPUB downloads.]

Summary
A few years out of Hogwarts, Tom is a rising star in the Ministry, and he’s determined to become the youngest ever Minister of Magic.
Yet the higher and faster he rises within the Ministry, the more the whispers have started to abound about his Dark Arts affiliations, his unwavering alliance with the old Pureblood families, and his vehemently anti-Muggle sentiments.
Tom realizes he needs to soften his image in order to increase his public appeal.
And so, he thinks he’s found a solution in Harry Potter.
Or, at least, in convincing Harry to pretend to date him for long enough that he’s seen as someone who can work across the aisle.
