    Summary

    RRS: the Recourse Reserved Specialists, a lesser-known division of the Serious Organized Crime Agency, where cases are sent to die. Only this time, it's personal.

    When Harry Potter, an unassuming barista from Surrey, calls in with information about Tom Riddle, and Draco Malfoy is sent to interview him, neither of them realizes how the investigation will disrupt what they thought they knew about their lives.

    [ This story is not in any way representative of how law enforcement really operates. Relatedly: influenced by Hannibal (the TV show) & Hannibal Lecter book series (...in separate ways, and without cannibalism). ]

    Updates: (September 2022) At least three chapters coming while I take a break from working on Glasslight.

    Summary

    At eleven, Tom Riddle is dead set on flying and deathly afraid of heights.

    At seventeen, he is a Hogwarts dropout and a Dark Lord rivaling Grindelwald.

    At twenty, he is barely a wizard, robbed of his magic and wracked by Muggle illness. A simple case of consumption shall end him, unless Harry unravels Riddle's mysteries once and for all.

    (Or: An AU where Tom and Harry grow up together, fight a war, twist a prophecy, break Quidditch, and fall very badly in love, though perhaps not in that order.)

    Summary

    It wasn’t that the Dursleys abused Harry, really. There were no horrible beatings, no injuries that left marks, nothing like that. But they were cruel with their words, and they controlled his food to the point that some days he thought he might go insane, and Vernon did slap him pretty hard the one time, after Harry dropped a soapy dinner plate and it shattered. Sometimes Vernon flew into rages, but it wasn’t, like, horrible. Harry could always maneuver his way through.

    Or, the one where Harry is an American high school student, and Tom Riddle is a whole other kind of villain.

    Summary

    After dying in the forbidden forest at Voldemort's hand--after going to the Kings Cross of his afterlife--Harry is returned to his 11-year-old self with no memories of his life before, just a vague sense of doom and weird knowledge of the wizarding world (and its inhabitants) that he can't quite explain. With only his ever-present sense of deja-vu to guide him into making better choices than last time, Harry embarks on a journey to save the wizarding world once again, and this time save himself as well.
