Summary
Harry sneaks into Umbridge's office in search of the locket horcrux, but Lord Voldemort shows up for a surprise meeting with the woman. More than a little displeased about seeing her wearing a piece of his soul, he kills her as Harry watches on from under the Invisibility Cloak, trying - and failing - not to swoon.

Summary
Still drowning his sorrows years after cutting ties to the magical world, Harry Potter meets a handsome stranger at his regular bar who asks one too many prying questions about the past. Talks of vengeance and violence always hit a tad too close to home as the stranger invades every aspect of his life with shocking speed.
-
The stranger has arranged himself comfortably on the faux-leather sofa, hands draped across the backrest and one foot placed on the smudged glass coffee table in front of them as if he owns the place. The lights above highlight meticulously groomed black hair, a few slick strands falling effortlessly in place.Oh no. Harry is far more attracted than he should be to someone with a past as violent as his own.
It takes a few more sips before Harry finds his tongue again. ‘’Sshhooo…’’ he slurs, then coughs. ‘’So what’s your plan then? Hangin’ out here till this guy arrives and stab ‘im?’’
‘’That was one option,’’ the stranger replies, playing around with an unlit cigarette. Harry follows the movement with rapture. ‘’But I’ve been told multiple times that there are things far worse than simply ending it. I suppose I’ll take him up on those words.’’

Summary
When Hadrian Potter completed the ritual intended to make him his best self, he never wanted a soul bond, and he certainly didn't wish to be pursued by the Minister of the British Wizarding World. He rolls with it; it's a game of cat and mouse, but the cat and mouse quickly forget who's who.
REUPLOADED AFTER MY MENTAL BREAKDOWN... sorry about that.

Summary
“The only reason any of this is happening at all is because of you. You seek me out. Again and again and again. You bring me back. This isn’t my party at all. It’s yours.”
There was no denying the tension in Harry now and relishing the achievement, Tom pressed even closer, invading Harry’s personal space, nearly making him flatten against the window.
“So tell me, Harry, why do you keep inviting me to play?”
Or, in other words, being dead means jack shit.

Even worse - he notices that the Emperor bears the same mark.

Should he remain in the Palace’s gilded cage, or risk everything to escape and discover who he truly is?

Summary
When Harry is called to the Headmasters office at the beginning of his sixth year he isn't sure what to expect. He at least really didn't see it coming that he would become Master of Death, travel back in time to become someone else, and more importantly to stop Voldemort before he would be lost to the monster.
****
''You must understand, Harry, that it's very dark magic. I don't want to taint your soul.''
Harry hisses, feeling his rage rear its ugly head again. You could taste his magic in the air, and Harry almost imagined the tendrils swirling around him wildly. Dumbledore's eyes widened.
''I call bullshit! The darkest curse was thrown at me when I was a baby, I'm almost of age, and you should just fucking tell me what I need to know. And I mean really what I need to know, and not what you want me to know. I think it's time to trust me, to trust your weapon because that's all I am, right? A soldier in this war, a weapon to end the Dark Lord, just a means to an end. The savior of the wizarding world, the boy who lived, the chosen one, and all that other rubbish!''

Do Not Go Quietly into That Good Night by NeuroWriter14
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
17 Dec 2020
Tags
Summary
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the lightOR
After the death of Lily, James fled with an infant Harry in tow. James raised his son as best he could only for Voldemort to take over and groom what he hoped would be the perfect weapon.

Summary
Tom has never needed anyone. Why would he? He has himself, his magic, his intellect. He can defeat anything. He can defeat death. Or so he believes, right up until the night of his eighteenth birthday when he murders his family and creates his second horcrux and, somehow, finds himself dead. Then, fifty years later, he wakes up.
Harry's having a crap time of it. Voldemort's back, Dumbledore's ignoring him, the Order won't let him in on their secrets, and according to the papers, Harry's a liar. The nightmares, the pain peppering his scar, the floods of anger - they're not helping. What he really needs is a distraction.
Good thing Harry and Tom are on a collision course.
(In which Ringcrux Tom is dropped into 5th year canon - part one!)

Summary
Harry Potter is murdered, crucified for the last-ditch effort at the greater good. But death is not as black and white as one would want it, not when Death claims you as his master. Harry has a do-over, reincarnated back into his past life, with all the knowledge he needs to piece back together with an old enemy that might just be the only one that can save him from his grizzly fate in 1999.
Thinking back on it there really should have been a rule. Don’t travel back in time if you are just going to fall in love with the person that you are destined to kill. And as an add on if you are going to fall in love with them make sure that they stay focused on the task at hand and do not overindulge in dark magic and madness along the way.

Summary
Harry Potter was exhausted. He just wanted everything to be over, but the violence never stopped. Even with the defeat of Voldemort and coming back from the Dead, a new war arose. Dumbledore has turned everyone he's ever loved against him. So Harry throws it all away. One last sacrifice and he'd find peace.
Not.
Death isn't done with Harry yet. Forcing him back in time to 1943 Harry has to traverse the oddly similar world of Hogwarts while trying to stay committed to his new lifestyle of apathy. Screw politics. Screw power. Screw Voldemort! Except Tom Riddle seems to be taking that last suggestion seriously. Avoiding manipulation, learning new magic, and trying not to kill the teenage Dark Lord has never been harder.

Summary
“Harry, please,” Death says beseechingly. “You haven’t even heard the full punishment yet.”
“Oh? There’s more?”
“Tom Riddle will be in your custody for five years,” Death finishes. “Five years is how long that Fate has deemed you should be punished with the presence of your worst enemy."
A hundred years after the end of the Second War, Harry Potter, Master of Death, unwittingly helps the last fragment of Lord Voldemort’s soul escape Limbo. Now, bound by Fate to Tom Riddle for the next five years, Harry has to coexist with the man he feared the most.
Or: Auror M.O.D. Harry and Tom Riddle strike an uneasy truce and solve crimes together, and Harry has to decide if his capacity to save everyone includes everyone, really.
OR: an excuse for Harry and Tom to be a crime-fighting duo like Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, while also trying not to strangle each other.

Summary
Orphaned and having no tolerance for Muggles, Harry arrives at Hogwarts a bitter boy. Unusually intelligent, he's recruited by both the Unspeakables and the Death Eaters at a young age. His loyalty, however, is not to the Ministry nor to the Death Eaters, but to the cause of bettering himself and becoming his own force in the Wizarding world.
As he grows older, he constantly has to struggle to keep his footing around a manipulative and bored Dark Lord who fancies mind games and questionable entertainment.
