Summary
Harry Potter died saving everyone. But the world kept turning, and something even worse came. Death drops him off in snowy 1938 London to stop the world from burning once more.
Just one problem. He's got paws instead of thumbs.
In the garden of Wool's Orphanage, Tom Riddle's first friend is a tiny snake. Billy Stubbs kills her with a trowel. Tom takes his revenge - brilliant and vicious, but he's so desperately outnumbered that when his bullies corner him, Harry can't help but intervene. A debt Tom repays by designing a collar that can bind a Grim.
Sometimes the road to redemption is paved with ash.
— a.k.a. a dark time-travel romance following Tom's journey from boy to man, Harry's struggle between justice and mercy, and whether caring can redeem someone - or if it only makes them worse.

Summary
Hermione’s seen enough of the system’s failures to know that sixteen-year-old omega Tom Riddle needs somewhere safe to go – just for a few months, until he’s of age. A mated alpha is the safest option, and Harry is the only alpha she’d trust with her life.
What she doesn’t know is that Tom isn’t the one who needs protecting.
And the only person Harry doesn’t know how to protect is himself.

Summary
Tom and Harry, twenty years on from the treaty, live a charmed life: one marriage, one Minister for Magic who likes working their garden, and no deaths that anyone’s counting.
One morning, a second Harry – tiny and in his fifth year – appears in their bedroom.
His first thought is that he’d like for everyone to stop being so calm about this. His second, with a terrible yearning in his chest, is that he would like to stay.
a.k.a. a reverse-time travel au w/ some fluff, more angst, and boys who are good at talking and awful at wanting.
