Summary
Tom Riddle, Undersecretary to the Minister, had spent most of his life believing he did not have a soulmate, and was perfectly pleased with this fact. So it was, to put it mildly, an inconvenience when, at the age of 54, words appeared for the very first time on his skin.
Mama, uppy. they said.
Soulmarks only activated once both parties were born and capable of thought. This could only mean that whoever sat on the other end of this newly woken bond was an infant. Unacceptable. He would find his soulmate, and eliminate them, before they had the chance to ruin everything.Meanwhile, Harry Potter grows up in peace, surrounded by alive, doting parents and friends.
Only, he has a soulmate who—going by nearly two decades of arm messages consisting of very evil thoughts, the occasional cockney, and sometimes unintelligible scribbles—may or may not be a Dark Lord.Soulmate AU in which everyone has soulmarks in the form of words that appear on their arm each day, depicting a stray thought their soulmate has had that day.

Summary
"Well, here we are." Sirius pushed open the door with a grand sweep of his arms. “Home sweet Hell.”
Sirius had bad memories of Grimmauld Place, tainted by his own less than stellar family. But for Harry, whose summers had previously involved being locked away either in a cupboard or Dudley's second room--with bars on the windows, no less--it was perfect.
---
With Sirius free from Azkaban and taking up his role as Harry's guardian, Voldemort pursuing a political path to power rather than bloodshed, and a defense teacher that isn't actively trying to kill him for once, Harry has high hopes for his third year at Hogwarts. It'll be nice to sit back and be a kid for once.Only Harry's life is never so simple, and he soon finds himself facing a myriad of new challenges: school bullies and new family dynamics, horcruxes all but falling into his lap, his deja-vu brain giving him mixed signals, and hidden murmurs arising from old Death Eater circles that may pose a threat to him regardless of his tentative alliance with Voldemort. Things seem destined to never be easy, but if there's one thing Harry knows by now, it's that he won't have to do it alone.

Summary
The Triwizard Cup spits Harry and Cedric into a graveyard, and Voldemort rises. Harry escapes with a dead boy and a red string running from his right hand.
He doesn't look at it. He files it under no and moves on.
It's the summer after the Tournament. Harry is fifteen and living with Sirius in a white house on the Pembrokeshire coast, and there are bigger things to worry about — the Ministry's denial, Dumbledore's preparations, the fact that he watched someone die. The string can wait. The string is waiting.
Then the bond starts making itself known.
Or: Harry Potter discovers his soulmate in a graveyard and spends the better part of a year perfecting the art of not dealing with it. The bond has opinions about this. So, infuriatingly, does Voldemort.

Summary
Riddle steps forward once more, his expression blank, and moves his hand slowly towards Harry’s face. Harry has no choice but to allow it. His escape route is blocked by the Death Eater standing behind him, so he stands stock-still, squinting his eyes shut and bracing himself for the pain that always accompanies Voldemort’s touch.
It doesn’t come.
His scar lies dormant as Riddle tilts his chin upwards with one finger – not even a twinge, much less the searing agony that shot through it in the graveyard last year. His eyes shoot open in surprise, and he meets Riddle’s crimson gaze.
“It seems that you, little time traveller, are the other subject of my prophecy.”
Harry Potter does not come back from the Department of Mysteries at the end of his Fifth Year. Everything after (and more importantly, before) that goes very quickly off the rails.
