Summary
Harry Potter, as the eldest brother of the Girl-Who-Lived, has always felt like the average person in his family of geniuses. He has a plan that might change that, but meanwhile, he has to contend with his partially estranged family as he attends his sister’s wedding. And contend, too, with his sister’s fiancé, Tom Riddle.

Summary
Trelawney whispered a different prophecy. Because of it, Harry Potter was allowed to live.
He started his seventh year, the way he always had: as a half-blood Gryffindor, an orphan of Godric’s Hollow and the social leper of Hogwarts.
Two things told Harry it would be an interesting semester: first, the Dark Lord would visit Hogwarts; second, they had a new defense professor, who moved with precision and power and spoke as if he was used to people hanging onto his every word.
The man made Harry’s stomach squirm.
And he called himself Marvolo Gaunt.

Summary
Be on guard, my Lord, writes Abraxas Malfoy, the new transfer student intends to kill you.
Except Abraxas has terrible penmanship, and kill and kiss look awfully similar in shoddy cursive.
Naturally, things escalate. A lot.

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.

Summary
Then, the man said: “Sit down, Harry Potter.” with a sibilant voice that made all his hairs rise up - he felt like prey in front of a predator. Harry sat down, body moving on its own accord, gripping the red file under his robe like a lifeline. He had a job to do, a job to do, a job to do, a job—
When the man smirked, his mouth had too many teeth.*
Voldemort gets sent to Azkaban after the First War. Harry Potter is the Auror sent there to profile him. Neither of them expects to fall for the other, but it happens anyway.
inspired by The Silence of the Lambs
