Summary
Ever since the night of his resurrection, Voldemort has been plagued with the most awful migraines every night. Luckily he has been able to identify the cause: Potter's nightmares! Leaping across their mind bond, Voldemort will show him why no one dares to cross a Dark Lord!
But no matter what torture Voldemort inflicts, the migraines do not relent. Perhaps, until Potter is found and killed, some other strategy might be more effective... and the prospect of having eyes in Dumbledore's operations is too tempting to ignore.

Summary
Harry Potter was forty years old, a father of three, and on top of the world... only to wake up one morning in his childhood cupboard - though, not exactly in his own childhood. Trapped in an alternate universe where his parents are alive, he was abandoned to the Dursleys anyway, and everyone's calling his brother "The Boy Who Lived" (despite all evidence to the contrary), Harry just wants to escape the drama and figure out how to go home. But between a spoiled bully for a father, a brother raised to think he's the messiah, a sister who hates him, a mother who's suspicious of him, and the downright weird divergences this timeline has taken, that's easier said then done.
Oh, and Voldemort's there too.

Summary
Tom Riddle was looking for the perfect artifacts to house his soul while working at Borgin and Burkes. He didn’t think the Vanishing Cabinet sold to the shop was particularly noteworthy, that was until it began to smoke and Tom found a teenager within who wore Ravenclaw’s Lost Diadem. Even more intriguing was everything in his mind and memories that Tom could use to succeed as the future Dark Lord, and the wayward teen himself who was much more than Tom could have ever imagined.

Summary
“Okay—okay, fine. You win,” Harry muttered, sounding as though he’d been struck over the head. “Just…don’t be surprised if this goes nowhere. I’m not as interesting as you think.”
Hardly relevant, as Tom’s interest lay solely in the man’s wallet. To obtain what he needed, he would tailor himself accordingly.
Tom smiled, not releasing Harry’s hands as he spoke. “I like you, Harry. Soon, you’ll like me too.”
Or: Tom’s hunt for his golden goose, and how he came to claim it.

Summary
A human. It was a real, living, breathing human. When was the last time he saw a human? It had to have been just before Earth’s destruction. Trillions—no, quintillions—of years had passed since Earth was consumed by the Sun, and yet here was a human, alive and well. A human, standing there before him under a soft, blue sky.
Earth. He was back on Earth.
The Master of Death couldn't help it. He laughed.
OR
Left in darkness at the end of time, the Master of Death had been waiting for Death to finally reap his old soul. That is, at least, until he fell through a black hole's event horizon and woke up in Petunia Dursley's garden.

The Dark Lord's Autobiographical Ethnography (and the Consequential Fallout) by floral_writing
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
21 May 2026
Tags
Summary
There were two books amongst the dozens that looked promising on the shelf, both names recognizable as sixth-year textbooks. Pulling them off the shelf, he set them down on the table and sat down. He shuffled the parchments further, giving himself room for the books when he noticed oddly familiar writing on one of them, titled “Research Draft”. Hoping it would be something useful, he slid it out from the pile and started reading.
“Parselmouths exhibit physical and behavioral traits that are found only within snakes, but adapted unto human form. It is unclear how these traits were bestowed upon early parselmouths, but the possibility of long-past cross breeding between magical beings, radical human transformation, or a gift from Mother Magic herself have all been considered by the author. However, this essay will act as a personal ethnography of the primary researcher, one Tom Riddle”
Harry blinked, shaking his head a little. Were these Voldemort’s notes about himself? Thinking about it, it somehow made sense that Voldemort had been making notes on himself, considering how self aggrandizing his monologues seemed to be.

Summary
Harry Potter died saving everyone. But the world kept turning, and something even worse came. Death drops him off in snowy 1938 London to stop the world from burning once more.
Just one problem. He's got paws instead of thumbs.
In the garden of Wool's Orphanage, Tom Riddle's first friend is a tiny snake. Billy Stubbs kills her with a trowel. Tom takes his revenge - brilliant and vicious, but he's so desperately outnumbered that when his bullies corner him, Harry can't help but intervene. A debt Tom repays by designing a collar that can bind a Grim.
Sometimes the road to redemption is paved with ash.
— a.k.a. a dark time-travel romance following Tom's journey from boy to man, Harry's struggle between justice and mercy, and whether caring can redeem someone - or if it only makes them worse.

Summary
There were a great many things Harry still didn’t know about his world. And he was perfectly all right with that.
You didn’t have to be the cleverest person in the world to be happy, after all, and nobody knew everything. (Though Harry rather suspected Tom would argue otherwise.)
Still, Harry thought it was only fair. If everyone knew everything already, there wouldn’t be much point in anything, would there?
That was what made school so brilliant. It was a place absolutely soaked in opportunity. Or at least, that was how Tom would have put it.
Always seize opportunity by the throat, he’d said once.
It seemed a bit excessive. But nevertheless, Harry fully intended to get everything he possibly could out of the whole affair.
After all, he was his father’s son.
Hogwarts had no idea what was coming.
Between Hogwarts hijinks, a meddling headmaster, and Tom’s overprotective tendencies – paired with his not‑so‑secret quest for Ministry dominance – Harry’s school years are anything but ordinary.

Summary
With a sound like a giant bubble bursting, Harry vanished – ripping a chunk of the fence and the earth beneath him into a swirling void.
Dudley and his gang froze, staring at the empty space where the other boy had just been – confusion clear across their faces.
Harry Potter had gotten away.
(Far away, in the humid forests of Albania, a shadow of a man – a mere sliver of soul, the faint spectre of the once-feared Lord Voldemort – felt a violent pull on his magic. He could not resist – could not fight it. In an instant, he was drained, erased, and snuffed out like a candle.
Thus, one prophecy found its end, while another – far away and elsewhere – had only just begun.)
Or: Harry never apparates to the top of the school roof in a feat of accidental magic. Instead, he rips through time and space and – after a few twists and turns – lands squarely in the metaphorical lap of a Dark Lord in his prime, becoming Voldemort’s least favourite plot twist.
Tom, however, eventually comes to appreciate the pint-sized troublemaker he has been saddled with.

Something Wicked, This Way Comes by galileagalilei

Summary
This is no fairy tale.
It is a story of revenge carried out by the forsaken, of unseen horrors lurking in the deep of night.
A wraith clings to life, refusing to die, dragging itself back from the brink again and again. And a boy is desperately chasing Death, longing to be held in its loving, cold embrace.
—
Harry doesn’t care about fate or timelines. He isn’t there to save anyone.
… He is nobody’s savior.
No– Harry is there for one reason, and one reason only.
He was there to kill a man.
Albus Dumbledore.

Summary
Yes yes, Harry is the twin of the Boy-Who-Lived. Yes, he is a Potter. Yes, he was there when You-Know-Who tried to kill his twin. No, he does not remember. And you know what, he doesn't care. All of that drama is for Ben, and he can keep it to himself. What he does care about is his mum, learning about magic, curse-breaking, and perhaps finding a nice boy to spend the rest of his life with.

Summary
When Harry Potter cast his first Cruciatus Curse, he was successful. In doing so, he awoke the darkness in his head. It whispers, and it's never wrong. The darkness is hungry, and won’t be denied.
‘To go in the dark with a light is to know the light. To know the dark, go dark, go without sight and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings.’
