Summary
In another world, Harry Potter was spared. Raised by a Pureblood guardian in Lord Voldemort's Britain, he isn't special and enters his seventh year wanting nothing more than to be allowed to go into Arithmancy research and keep his head down.
But after a chance encounter with a man who later arrives at Hogwarts on behalf of the Ministry, to evaluate the seventh-year students for potential, it looks like it may not be so simple.
Marvolo Gaunt seems to have his eye on Harry. The trouble is, Harry has no idea why.

Left off on chapter 35, good fic, well written. Just not what I want to read right now. Lots of intrapersonal conflict

Summary
Instead of dying during the Battle of Hogwarts, Voldemort de-ages into an infant. Until he becomes old enough to be legally executed, he will be magically bound to Harry.
A perfectly foolproof plan, or so the Ministry believes.
“Someday,” Tom vows, “you’ll love me in every way.”

Updated February 2025 as of this bookmark, should update again this year for act III.
This fic is great, characterization and character flaws are so good. The execution of this is wonderful. Tom being an evil little mastermind, but staying loyal and obsessive and possessive of Harry is always fun! Really interesting to see where this goes! -

Summary
“What I find absolutely fascinating,” Riddle said, stalking closer, “is you.” He marched forward, backing Harry up until he was pinned to the cool wall of the common room. “Do you know why?”
“No. And I’ll be honest here, Riddle, I don’t particularly care.”
The taller boy grinned at him, small yet infinitely pleased. “That. Right there.” One hand rose and brushed some of Harry’s fringe from his face. “Nathan Ciro was a spineless little boy too afraid of his own shadow to dare even glance in my direction. But you…”
He leaned closer, “You look at me like you want to stab me.”
After an accident, Auror Harry Potter wakes up in the body of fourteen year old Nathan Ciro, a tormented Slytherin who recently tried to end his own life. Seeking answers to his strange predicament, Harry returns to Hogwarts, and causes quite the stir through staff and students - especially when they come to realise he is not the same boy as before.
He tries to avoid suspicion, but as his quest for the truth draws more and more attention to him, Harry begins to think that he might not like what he will discover.

Last updated August 2024 as of this bookmark. Will probably update.
Really interesting body swap (possession?) story with MOD Harry going through sm shit (as always). This story is so fun, especially as Orion and Tom put the pieces together in their own ways. -

Summary
Harry Potter is stuck in a cell. The war is lost and he has been captured after his whole ‘coming back to life’ scenario. Whilst he wishes he could be positive and productive, it is fairly hard to do so when you know that all of your friends are either dead or sentenced to it, and you are stuck, powerless, in a cursed cell. So, Harry wishes on a star, in a bleak, melancholic sort of way, for it to give him a chance to make it all right and save the day like he was supposed to.
He doesn’t expect for it to actually work.
He certainly doesn’t expect for it to work so much that he would be sent back in time.
And yet, there he is at King’s Cross Station, inhaling the fossil fuels of the 1940s, bound for Hogwarts. He should have asked the star for an easier ride.

Last updated November 2020 as of this bookmark. Unlikely to update again .
This fic has a bit of a rough start, but once Harry gets to Hogwarts things really begin to pick up. I've enjoyed reading this a lot, I think these takes on Harry and Tom's characters are interesting. If this ever does update, it will be cool to see what happens next. -

Summary
When Harry looks at Tom, he feels overwhelmed. There is a spark that makes him hopeful, the fear that nothing he does will save Tom from himself, and the horror at what his lies might lead to.
When Tom looks at Harry, he feels nothing. Until he does, and then Harry’s world starts drowning in blood.
