Summary
The firearm’s fastest draw speed is precisely 0.208 seconds— firearms, unlike spells, require no complicated wand movements, no powerful magical core. A trained sharpshooter could kill a small crowd in under a few seconds.
Still, wizards were smarter. Wizards had magic. Wizards had shields. No bullet would be able to penetrate those.
Of course, unless someone wanted them to.
Tom kind of really, really wanted them to.
Or, That one time Harry Potter became a magical cowboy, and that one time Tom Riddle became a pain in the goddamn ass. After all, Smith and Wesson makes all men equal.

Do you think we could…” He pauses. “Do you think we could love each other, in another universe?”
Tom turns around. His expression is blank. “Do you think I could love?”
Or: Harry travels back in time and befriends Tom. It's not enough.

Summary
He looks at Percy, looks at his auburn red curls, looks at how they move and almost flicker underneath sunlight. Fire. Percy, he thinks, is rather like a fire, one that could warm even the darkest of hearts before it fluttered its eyes and began to consume.

Or, Tom and Percy go to the beach.

Summary
UNDERGOING SERIOUS REVISION
He sees Tom’s face in slow-moving creeks, in his favourite flowers and food and in the robes that he has worn, that used to belong to Percy, but look more right on him. It is an affliction— the way his thoughts never truly empty of him, how he manages to think of Tom in the most mundane of activities.
He is in the middle of reading a book (Tom would hate it, it’s nothing more than a mundane fantasy) before he slams it shut and hurries his clothes on, tapping his foot impatiently as he waits for the train.
Percy needs to get it out— this bubbling, almost anxious feeling, even if it kills him.

Summary
Lord Voldemort was winning the war and Harry knew it, at no point more clearly than when he is heading to the Dark Forest to confront his fate. The adrenaline-fueled destruction of the Horcruxes had so far driven him, Ron and Hermione to run, to flee and do what had to be done—no matter the consequences, no matter the danger—to end Voldemort. Harry’s life is about to change, if not in the way he expects, because for every question posed for the fate of the Wizarding World, there will be fleeting answers to trace, and no one is more curious than the tyrant himself.
A Deathly Hallows alternate ending.
