Summary
“You have to promise me—promise you won’t waste it.” Tom bites his tongue. “Promise me you’ll become great, not just sit for decades missing me, moldering and letting moss grow over you…”
Moss, he thinks, sounds like a comforting prospect right now. A moss-covered stone doesn’t feel, doesn’t notice the passing of the years or experience the loss and yearning that will only increase as each one goes by.
The Minister has never been known to take a lover, never been photographed over a candlelit dinner with a fellow prominent wix or caught in an embrace with someone scandalous. His oldest associates say that he had someone precious once; a boy he called not just his love but his soulmate. There are rumors that Riddle is still waiting for him to come back, that that’s why he studied alchemy for a decade, made a Philosopher’s Stone and still looks no older than thirty. But that would be madness, surely.
Harry travels through time, loves Tom Riddle, and changes the trajectory of his life forever. And then, he disappears.
Tom waits.
Written for the Purge XL prompt “Trial of the Bow”.
