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?

Date Ideas for the Linguistically Inclined by Antique_Mango

17 Mar 2025

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.

No More, No Less by Divida, elevenie for duplicity
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

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.

Summary
Stupid little Ginny Weasley wants to trade her Voice for legs so that she can pursue some human prince? Well then, far be it from Tom Riddle to get in her way.
(Except he does.)
A retelling of The Little Mermaid.
It should be strange, moving to the absence of music, but Tom finds himself mesmerised by the gentle rocking motion, the smell of Harry's salt skin, the feeling of Harry's cheek against his own. It's smooth and rough at the same time, young skin and day-old stubble. He turns and drags the point of his nose against it, slow and exploratory. Harry's breath catches, and Tom thinks, idly, that he would like to taste that breath. His eyes slip closed. His nose traces the jut of Harry's jaw down to the heavy, unsteady pulse of his jugular, and he thinks about biting it.

Summary
The man towers over him, his breath tasting of coldness and fury. Harry had always known that there had to have been a significant reason, why the hat had sorted him into Gryffindor over any other House. He finds, once more, that inexplicable urge to do something recklessly, utterly stupid. High from the power he so rarely wields when confronted with this man, he taunts, “Come on, Tom. Let’s finish this the way we started!” He grips the older wizard close, sees the belated outrage.
This, certainly, qualifies as reckless stupidity.
But, he thinks, it might also just be strikingly poetic. “Together!” He shouts and jumps off the building.
‘Great!’ thinks Death. ‘Excellent opportunity.’This is the story of Death entrapping Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort in a series of reincarnations to undo the chaos the two of them have collectively caused. It’s a story of how two adversaries tangled in fate are forced to learn about themselves and through that, about the other; of them trying to work together for a change - if only, to pursue their individual goals.
