Summary
Harry Potter fails to die.
“Behold The Boy Who Lived, your precious chosen one, your supposed hero… in shackles.”
Lord Voldemort reigns supreme.
With the afterlife refusing to keep his soul and his freedom stolen by Voldemort, Harry must navigate the delicate tightrope between willful resistance and lives of his friends. What if he refuses Voldemort’s demands too much? What if precious lives are taken from him because he didn’t give into Voldemort?
“What if I’m doing this all wrong?”
Yet… something greater calls their attention.
The Master of Death has not been seen for a thousand years and the dead are restless. Something ancient demands restoration to the balance between birth and death.
The cycle must continue.
For neither the light nor the dark can be seen without the other.

Summary
“Harry Potter.”
The cold burrowed into his flesh; the scent of cloying death and molding earth clogged his senses.
“The Boy Who Lived.”
A strange sense of unimaginable loss and disappointment rose inside of Harry. That brilliant, yet cruel boy could’ve been so much more if he’d not stepped down this bloodied path.
Terrible, but great. He pitied this creature.
“Come to die.”
Harry Potter faced the flash of green light with the bravery of a Gryffindor and the broken heart of a Hufflepuff.
When Death gives Harry a third option, one that can save everyone he ever cared about, he takes it unflinchingly. Even when that means doing the impossible: falling in love with the enemy, Tom Riddle.

Summary
Broken by the loss of Sirius, Harry finds solace in his dreams, sitting by the fire with tea and biscuits while crocheting a cardigan with unusual shimmering red yarn.
But Voldemort is an unwanted visitor, always there, and bearing identical bruises inflicted on Harry by his uncle on his own body.
Shared dreams, shared pain, soulmates share it all.

Summary
They lost the battle of Hogwarts. All that stands on the grounds of its hallowed foundation is its grave.
For over a decade, Harry has fought to defeat Voldemort, but with the death of each horcrux, Voldemort grew worse, more monstrous, more terrible and cruel than before. With no one left to save, Harry’s last chance is to go back in time and change the course of history altogether.
But such travelers are forbidden and the anomaly in time must be removed.
As unspeakables hunt the time traveler, as Grindelwald seeks to regain ownership of the elder wand, and as nature itself attempts to reorient the proper order of time, Harry struggles to survive in the past and to be a father to the young Tom Riddle.
Until, that is, Harry finds unlikely shelter with one Newt Scamander.

Summary
Summer after the traumatic end of the Triwizard Tournament, instead of Harry Potter getting visions of the latest evil plot from the Dark Lord, it is Voldemort who gets visions of The-Boy-Who-Lived’s childhood.
And they’re not pleasant.
When Newt accepted to become one of Harry Potter's secret guard as a favor to Albus Dumbledore, he hadn't anticipated being faced with a choice concerning the welfare and safety of a child: obey Albus Dumbledore's orders or stay at Voldemort's side to protect Harry.
Though difficult, the right choice was clear.

Summary
Instead of dying during the Battle of Hogwarts, Voldemort de-ages into an infant. Until he becomes old enough to be legally executed, he will be magically bound to Harry.
A perfectly foolproof plan, or so the Ministry believes.
“Someday,” Tom vows, “you’ll love me in every way.”

Summary
When Harry Potter has the opportunity to erase Voldemort before the Dark Lord can resurrect, he finds out that walking a fine line between his own morality and the good of this world is more complicated than Harry could have ever imagined. While unable to let go of his past, he discovers a whole different side of magic too, and a different side to the man who shows him this. Slow Burn, eventual HPLV.

Summary
At the turn of the millennium, Harry drunkenly declares his love for his soulmate to magic, never imagining that magic might actually be listening.
Or that it might disagree.
Whisked off to the 1950s and thrown directly in the path of a Tom Riddle working at Borgin and Burkes while laying the foundations of his future ambitions in the shadowy, dangerous wizarding underworld. Harry struggles between grieving his lost future, navigating the alien time and reckoning with the disarming new connection that blooms between them, all while seeking a way home.
Only time can tell if he decides to stay instead.

Summary
“And my intended?” His lips pressed into a cold smile.
The catalyst of his failure and transformation; exponentially more important and far-reaching than mere shifts in status of his followers was, as always, Harry Potter.
The boy of prophecy, his fated vanquisher, the-boy-who-lived to be his Horcrux.
Or
At the Battle for the Department of Mysteries Voldemort discovers the unintended Horcrux slumbering inside of Harry Potter, hurling his carefully laid plans into disarray. But like a snake shedding its skin, Voldemort reinvents himself again.
A scant few months later, peace treaty negotiations culminate in a public ceremony binding his human horcrux to him fourfold; by prophecy and blood and soul and magic.
It is when Harry’s gaze remains hollow as their blood soaks the delicate flowers of their handfasting chords and the hungry earth yawns below, Voldemort realizes he may have claimed a poisoned prize.

Summary
The war is over—he has fought, he has died, he has won.
And yet, Harry wakes in the graveyard, in the moment before it all begins again.
The war will rise, but this time, Cedric Diggory will be forgotten. Because Harry is wearing his skin.
Voldemort rises, and something inside Harry aches—raw, hollow, reaching for what was lost. He does not know if he wants to run or be devoured.
