    Summary

    Harry does not give up the Horcrux when he dies.

    Can goodness be a hero’s tragic flaw?

    Moved by compassion, he embraces it instead.

    Can forgiveness be a gift unconsciously granted?

    What follows next, he could not predict. He’s not sure he ever really had a choice in the matter.

    Can love exist, even flourish, in a heart that does not give its consent?

    The world Harry wakes up to is not like the one he remembers.

    This is a horror story.

    And his captor is neither the same as he was, nor as different as he would like.

    This is a love story.

    (aurora polaris by AGlassRoseNeverFades)

    Plot/Theme:

    “There’s no god here, Harry. There is only you and me.” (Ch.32)

    fucked up, and so fucking delicious 🤤🤤🤤🤤 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA EVIL ENTITY! SO WHAT?? WIFE THAT MAN UP 🗣️ (Harry's inner voice, probably)
    Hello?? I am declaring this a CLASSIC! ahh!! This was so well written, and I fell in love more and more with the characters as the chapters went on. I especially love Tom in this fic, he is so unapologetically himself, while also so fucking sweet, cruel, smitten, evil and WHIPPED! A Tomarry reenactment of Beauty And The Beast with a slight Bluebeard Folklore fusion >.< ahhh so exciting!!

    I’ve always known you.
    You’re mine. You’ve been mine since before I was born.
    I’ve been yours since longer than I’ve been alive.

    reading this chapter.. with Rachmaninoff playing in the background.. i am in tears, author!!! i am in so love with this fic that i dont know what to do with myself, happy eid!!!

    the ending ! bravo bravo bravo! and they were meant to be, yout honour!! :) forever and always.
    a love story or a horror? why not both? whats so bad about loving something (or someone) you find horrifying??

    tldr: there’s a monster living under Harry’s bed. Every night, it reaches from the dark with claws meant to drag him under. But one night, instead of screaming or pulling away, Harry takes the monster’s hand.
    and the monster, who has only ever known fear, doesn’t know what to do with the kindness.

    (or: fucked up (who thinks the monster is absolutely adorable) vs, even more fucked up (who displays his grotesque nature in reckless abandon))

    Summary

    Harry walks to the Forbidden Forest with a newfound sense of self-preservation, a skill he knew once in early childhood but had somehow lost upon arriving in the magical world. But it was back with a vengeance, and Harry would not relinquish it again. He would survive, dammit, if it was the last thing he did. AU from “The Prince’s Tale” on. Eventual Harrymort.

    (Fear Makes Monsters of Us All by orphan_account)

    this fic is ♥️♥️😭

    loved the character development of Voldemort
    this went from master/slave relationship to voldie pampering tf out of Harry (and him being oblivious to it lol)

    Harry turned around and looked sadly up at him. “And if he doesn’t?”

    Tom bent down and brushed Harry’s nose with the flat of his own. “He will.”

    “I’m scared,” Harry admitted.

    “I know,” Tom said. “But if Harry Potter was brave enough to face Lord Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest, then he’s certainly brave enough to face Ronald Weasley in St Mungo’s.”

    DUNNO WHY THIS MADE MY HEART GO ALL 😭♥️✨💫 wjxiwn so fucking adorable

    Summary

    Harry has some weird words on his left wrist. That must be one of those strange things that Aunt Petunia hates so much. But it's okay! He likes them.

    Then, it all turns even weirder. Hogwarts, magic, a Headmaster and a Dark Lord await Harry - he would prefer if they all just left him alone, thank you very much.

    But when has it ever mattered what Harry wants?

    I loved it 😭
    And the angst was delicious.

    (12. 02. 23) - Enjoyed this journey so much, i had a hard time putting this (fyi I dreamt of harry for 2 consecutive nights it was awesome) I love rereading my favourites and falling in love all over again (short term memory pros)

    (31. 05. 26) Haha! It seems like I've made it a habit to reread this every 3 years?? I just couldn't get this story out of my head. Hello there, old friend :) I've missed you

    Summary

    “No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
    Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
    “That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
    Harry didn't like the sound of that.
    “But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
    “Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.

    Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.

    124/?

    Oh darling, I'm going to gobble this right

    Chapters 1 to 8

    Oh my god! I'm so excited for Harry's journey, I can already see that he's very angry towards the people that has led him to this fate, Voldemort, Dumbledore, the Dursleys. And that's good ^^ anger gives you purpose, and also magic I guess

    I'm also very excited to explore the challenges and all magical feats he will achieve! Wah! Bamf Harry for the win

    And hello there Tom Riddle, welcome back to the world of the living.

    9 to 15; I.. LOVE IT! THE REMORSE! THE REGRETS!! AHHH THE HUMANITY. Foaming at the mouth as we speak. And Harry, dear Harry. The pure yearning, the urge for having a sense of belonging 💗 so precious.

    16 to 24: oh my days!! I'm loving this newfound humanity from Tom. Bravo author!! And his relationship with his friends/ followers, beautiful, they're good for him <3 AND OH MY GOD ITS HAPPENING AAAAA HARRY POTTERRRRR!! everything is so wonderfully fleshed out, it's impossible not to get sucked into the plot, you write very well!!!

    25 to 86: oh Tom, you possessive bastard (utterly delicious)
    The plot is picking up girls. Harry has made it far!! And they have met, and oh seeing them dance around one another, poking and prodding at each others thoughts, is just delicious 🤤 dear author, thank you once again.

    The Death Eaters!! Oh my two favourite ones, Lestrange and Nott, I'm very soft towards them <3 I'm glad they like Harry too

    87 to 89: HAHAHA VOLDEMORT PULLING UP THE MOMENT HE FOUND OUT HARRY WAS SINGLE AND GAY HHAHAHAHA
    GOSH JUST ADMIT IT THAT YOU WANT HIM BAAADDD

    90 to 116: THE ROMANCE IS FINALLY KICKING UP 🗣️😍😻
    ANNND THEY KISSED!! I'm so invested in all of the side character romances as well, oh gosh I'm so happy for Severus
    I think the best thing about this fic is that it takes TIME. The slow burn feels so delicious, istg the ball episode almost burned me, goshh the yearning 💓 they're both so gone for each other it's ridiculous

    Summary

    In the Wizarding World soulmates exist, and you carry your soulmate's thoughts about you in ink on the inside of your wrist.

    Tom Riddle grows up alone in an orphanage with empty wrists. Tom Riddle dies thinking too late. Harri Potter grows up alone in Little Whinging with wrists that never change. Harri Potter lives and everything falls in place.

    Harri Potter lives, therefore Tom Riddle lives also.
     
    "My dear, this ink started with you, and it will end in you."

    (for love is always with you - cordeliawrites)

    𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥, 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐲

    author, you deserve more than just kudos for writing this masterpiece. I'd give you my whole soul if I could. (English is not my first language, I'm also not a professional reviewer, just a girl who loves to read <3)

    you were able to show me that just a few, simple changes (actions) is all it takes to change everything (a little help (love?) goes a long way)

    you had on my knees (bawling my eyes out) just a few chapters in, and by now I've taken that as an indication of how good the fic is going to be XD

    “𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲, 𝐈 𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 ... 𝐍𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬, 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞.”

    i love how every chapter title had its own unique little meaning XD ah! the dedication!!

    Harri waved at Orion.

    ^ fucking ruined me

    my favourite of all souls, is always gonna be the Diadem, c'mon he's everyone's favourite 😌 (I was so down for a little harem too)

    ((the way the Diadem was like in class, i was fucking swooning, THE PET NAMES!!! little dove AHHHHHHAVSHW ))

    There was a lot of things I adored about this story, Remus's sass, the way Sirius was so quick to take in Harri as his daughter, Harri and Tom's love for each other, (Tom's possessiveness), (Harri mooning over Locket at every possible moment)

    - Diadem (bbg, i throb for you) 💗

    Also, can't forget about the little quotes at the beginning of every chapter (I posted a few on my story ✨)

    Voldemort, to her disbelief, smiled.

    “𝘋𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘮𝘦?” Tom asked.
