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
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

Summary
Tom Riddle wanted one thing and one thing only: to get his hands on the Hufflepuff Cup and the Slytherin Locket. His soul deserved only the best of vessels. Unfortunately, that awful woman gave the founder’s artifacts to a mere magizoologist. How laughable. Newt Scamander was socially awkward, better suited for the animals a man who could barely look Tom in the eyes and who blushed at the simplest of compliments.
Seducing this Hufflepuff for those artifacts was going to be easy.
Or was he?
Newt. Handsome, rugged, and built to tame his magical creatures. This was a man with secrets. How foolish to trust the outward appearance, for one never knew what beasts lurked beneath the surface. After all... What honey badger doesn’t enjoy a wily snake for a meal?

It is spring, 1945, and Tom Riddle's housemates are all a-flutter over the new Defense professor, Harry Potter. Personally, Tom couldn't care less.
...Or so he thinks, until he finds out the professor has come back in time.
(Harry, meanwhile, has his own agenda before he returns to the future - and didn't expect Tom Riddle to get in the way.)
A time-traveling romance. ♥
