Summary
By a twist of fate (and partly through his obsession with finding out what Draco Malfoy is up to), sixteen-year-old Harry Potter travels back in time... by fifty years. And the very first person he meets is none other than Tom Riddle, a twenty-year-old salesman at Borgin and Burke's shop. The meeting goes neither smoothly nor pleasantly, with curses and spells flying in all directions.
And later, as Tom Riddle plots his new path to power, Harry Potter tries to figure out how to outwit and thwart his mortal enemy without being drawn to the Dark Side. No easy task, as young Tom Riddle is a master of manipulation.
In a nutshell: Time travel AU where Harry Potter ends up as young Tom Riddle's ward.
9th July 2026: Sorry for the delay, but adult life has unexpectedly turned out to be a bit too adult. There’s a chance that a new chapter will be ready by the end of the month, but I can’t make any promises. In the meantime, I’m doing a thorough review of everything I’ve written to catch any typos or inaccuracies. Unfortunately, there are quite a few...

In my humble opinion, the best Harry Potter story on Lord Voldemort's side. Not a slash. Dadamort.

Summary
When Harry is kidnapped by a seemingly sixteen year old Tom Riddle at the end of his second year, he's convinced that he would do absolutely anything to escape – but "anything" can be a dangerous conviction to have, and even heroes can grow tired of fighting without hope. Sometimes, survival means making a home in the dark…

Summary
Harry's sixth year ends with the Dark Lord's takeover. At some point, Harry wakes from unconsciousness. He is ordered back to school. Things get weirder: after a vicious attack, Voldemort saves his life. Which makes it clear: he is a Horcrux.
Should Harry stay, or join the rebels? Use his new power over Dark Marks, or resist the temptation? Should he fold or rage against the Dark Lord and his mentoring act? Aim for influence… or his own destruction?
~Gen, dystopian and plotty AU: mentorship between Harry and Voldemort, and between Harry and Snape - both at a snail’s pace. No main ships.
A/N July 18th: ch40 is driving me crazy… hoping for your patience!

Voldemort spoke: "The Horcrux isn't really gone, is it?"Harry frowned. "What do you mean?"
Dumbledore turned to Harry, perplexed - dismayed even. Voldemort watched him with unholy glee. They had paused their duelling.
“You see?” the Dark Lord hissed. “He will always be mine.”
“Harry,” Albus said gently. “You just spoke Parseltongue.”
