    Summary

    When the Dark Lord Grindelwald heard a prophecy that an “heir to the Hallows” would be his downfall, he sought to kill a mere infant—a boy named Tom Riddle. He failed, vanishing in the aftermath and leaving only a scar upon the child’s face.

    Tom Riddle grew up unaware of the true nature of his significance, yet certain of its existence. When he finally learns that he is as extraordinary as he always believed himself to be, he is thrilled.

    But complications lie ahead. Is Tom Riddle truly the sort of boy who could ever become a hero?

    And then there is the small matter of Harry Potter, who is inescapable in any universe.

    Summary

    Bellatrix's torture goes wrong and Harry is transformed into a snake, doused in experimental potions, and accidentally banished through time by a spell that latches onto the Horcrux in his scar. He lands in 1943, broken and helpless, directly in the path of a lonely sixteen-year-old Tom Riddle.

    Tom finds an unusual snake in the Forbidden Forest and can't resist taking it in. Harry, too traumatized to fight back and too terrified to reveal the truth, has no choice but to accept care from the boy who will become Voldemort.

    As they bond, Harry realizes he sees more of himself in Tom than he'd like to admit.

    Summary

    On December 25th, 1991, Harry found two very special things that would become his very first secrets.

    The first was the strange room, stuffed wall to wall with treasures and objects teeming with magical energy.

    The second was the boy in the mirror.

    (Or: the one where first year Harry & first year Tom become friends across time though a magic mirror and Harry emotionally manipulates the horcruxes into breaking the time travel paradox so he can get a cute bf)

    Summary

    Harry Potter has always been different, and his strange connection to plants marks him as the freak his Aunt and Uncle always claimed he was. The wizarding world was supposed to be an escape, but even there, he must hide the truth of his abilities. His magic doesn’t fit the rules, and secrets have a way of growing wild.

    (If only there was someone who understood...)

     
    A re-telling of the books in which Harry has more than one power the Dark Lord knows not.
